Marat Safin - David Letterman Interview Pt 2

[nicky1072]

love you marat... miss you in tennis... such a character.. amazing player and gorgeous

[anocri]

Marat is a funny guy and takes control of the show from Letterman...

[Lore88bubba]

He's so hot in here!

[BrotherTree1]

i love how letterman tries to mind fuck safin, then safin just mindfucks him back. yeahhhahaaa bitch. XD

[Mohamed518]

@BrotherTree1 love your terminology there, "mind fuck"

[aquarianbabe]

I love when he said, "Where?" after dave asked did anna win. Even he knows that Anna is terrible, but he said it nicely.

[PCoderch]

@aquarianbabe Well, men are unusually nice to their female friends....

[kesyjk]

hahahahahhahaahahahaahah, she is the same way she is now!...David: did she win a tournament? Marat: WHERE??? hahahahha this dude makes me crack up

[denibas77]

@kesyjk David: did she win a tournament? Marat: WHERE???

he answered question with question hahaha

[ssliel]

What does he mean by : At that time, she (anna kournikova) was already in the same way like she is now. haha, it's funny, did he mean how flaunty anna is?

[Angelah2528]

Marat is the most honest tennis player. He is also full of fun!

[edmon69]

his sooo funnyy

[esquibelle]

He should be the next James Bond.

[Cinciman09]

that was very funny when he said "4 months ago I broke 15 rackets - didn't help at all, 2 weeks ago 20 more rackets, helps a little bit"!!!)

It's hard to tell if he was trying to be funny, but it was very, very funny and true. I love him for almost being himself and not being arrogant unlike other tennis players, esp Masha))

[Spoonman518]

haha he's obviously trying to be funny, he's a pretty gifted entertainer....at least more than letterman it seems

[v3rtic4L5miL3]

Letterman:Pete Sampras told about you that you are the future of tennis...

Quite ironic now....:(

Thx Marat

[Gudrunsvej58]

he is playing in UZBEKISTAN! wow .......... everybody loves UZB.

[boihitbycar]

he's hottttttttttttttttttttttttt

[BihFaca11]

Too bad Safin retires

[patriciaRAWR]

[sharuhousefan]

[asbte]

everyone one loves safin.

[lonelywitch]

he's funny and i love the accent and i love the look..he's fuckin hot!

[Pingpongkingen94]

but if you see on djokovic and murray they are now top 4 they play almost exactly like safin but not as great ofcourse... they have both good backhands and nice hitof the ball so fuck you

[Pingpongkingen94]

i agree totaly

[lordofkronos]

he should try to loose weight like roddick

[jessica4stein]

Hello... he's looking better than ever now.

[aztecx]

He might not be the most consistent player but he has far more fans than most of the players in the world. And people will miss him when he retires.

[MaratSafinVideos]

HAHA.

He was consistent enough before his career was ruined by the third serious injury he has had with the knee injury in 05.

[zhankibaika]

he is so funny, and has the sweatest accent ever

[oneoline]

yeah it is pretty damn "sweaty"

[NonDairyYogurt]

remember when sharapova's US open trophy lid fell on her head when she lifted it up?

[magiciantim]

what a match that was, what a guy. I love how he is this mix of thoughtful and introspective and funny like he is here. Best of luck for this year Marat!

[RaceyLacey22]

he is one of the reasons why i play tennis :) i love him and i always will!!!!No matter if he plays next year or not !!!

[RaceyLacey22]

listen,you asshole,if u can't stand Marat,this is not my problem!!!! If you think that some players like Nadal or Djokovic or Murray are better,then,you know what - FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

[sagrocket]

ges wat u SORRY ASS BITCH they r much better and u better get a job u dum dropout

[RaceyLacey22]

[sagrocket]

[helenafromla]

hey i wanna thank you so much for this vid. LOL so cool.

such a cool guy!

[xlarissaxxdivinex]

Marat is amazing.. Just AMAZING!!!! To perfect to be true!!!

[safii55]

its awesome how english isnt his first language but he can still be incredibly funny!

love the guy :D

[bighugephil]

i totally agree....i`ve never heard a funny person who`s first lanuage wasn`t english

[uhearti]

i love him...

wish he'd won against damn federer! :P

i get far too emotional when i watch him play...lol...i need some anger management myself i think :)

[at010389]

so damn sexy!!

[4theGr8terGud]

oooh hes so funny.

apparently 2009 is his last year on tour!

:(

[peachesnmcream]

noooooooooooooooooooo

i don't want him to leave

[iammeakame]

D: SAME!!! I was devasted when he pulled out of Kooyong (Tournament before Aussie Open) because of shoulder injury.

he makes tennis funny xD

[PatriciaTennisPlayer]

I like Safin .. but i think Safin is a "little bite" nervous.. ;)) Cammon ;p

[CommentOnEverything]

"The future of tennis." Haha, he may rethink that statement now that Marat's ranked 44!

[spr0922]

he got to #1 shortly after this interview

[2guys1chink]

eat dick

wimbledon semifinals

he has more talent than nadal

[depthperception87]

Nadal won wimbledon, you retard.

[LaLLaaa]

he still has more talent..he's propably the most talented player in tennis history...talent and results are 2 different things

[whatd0y0uthink]

I agree, if he would just work HALF as hard as Nadal does or have half his focus then he would be unbeatable.

[superc]

oh shut the fuck up. If he WEREN'T HOT, you wouldn't be rallying up here and still say he's the "most talented" player in history. Please. Put peewee herman's face in the same body and you'll be singing a different tune.

[LaLLaaa]

after safin, my fav player is david nalbandian...so what were u syaing about me liking players only for their good looks???? ur the one who should shut the fuck up cause u have no idea what the heck ur talking bout...

[LaLLaaa]

nadal works harder and doesn't have safin's temper ... i do think safin's more talented but talent it's not enough

[sherriatl]

God, I love this man. Funny, you can't always tell how big he is while watching him on TV or seeing pictures, but, looking at him in the char, you can tell he's huge... Absolute male perfection.... although, I do think, like a fine wine, he's gotten better with age :)

[Sileithel]

PLEASE!!!!every time I see him I need to be given air (I mean, with a fan or sth).This guy is just SO perfect! most handsome man alive!! and when younger, he was just incredible. He's handsome nowadays too, but when he was like in this vid he was simply perfect...

Could anybody write down this interview for me?My English isn't good enough to understand everything. Everybody's laughing of his jokes and I get hardly nothing!

[mayoush87]

well they re talking about road rage and it similarity with breaking rackets and marat is making fun of anna kournikova lol

[Sileithel]

Oh...and...forgive my ignorance...what is road rage?

[mayoush87]

well it s when you get angry while driving

[Sileithel]

Ah, thx...I've listened to it again and I'm getting sth more, but it's still quite hard. As Marat is Russian his English is clearer for me, but I almost don't get anything of Letterman's questions lol

[elizabennet21]

If you google "tell mom about the wodka", the first search result should be a link to a transcription of this interview.

[deedee51687]

He was so cute and kind of innocent here, seems like the older he gets, the freaking sexier, oh well I'm not complaining. SO HOT!

[peero80]

At around 2.20 he has no clue what is going on lol.

[INTEREFAN]

lol!

[kameliya89]

Actually, Uzbekistan is in Asia, not in Europe..

P.s. I love you Marat

[crimeisnotasin]

his trophy is broken.=p

[BarelyListening15]

he kinda looks like the hoff in this video lol

[aquarianbabe]

Closed eyes...ha ha!  How cute...

[Minkki82]

Was that Uzbek- thing a wierd joke? Cos I can't imagine there's a tour stop in Uzbekistan.

Good lord Marat was hot (no homo)

[majjaj]

hahahaha

lol

he's soooo funny

[trent8002003]

Safin is so funny. The guy's actually very smart! He rolls with the punches from Lettermen and gives quite a bit back and all that time in a foreign tongue. His comic timing is totally natural. Not only a very very handsome face.

[aquarianbabe]

I agree. Yeah, definitely held his own. Most people back down, but Marat gave em as good as he good em. It was funny! He does have great camera presence.

[PunkCabaretDoll]

He looks a bit like Heath Ledger, eh?

Hmmmmmmmm.........

[zibbyblahblah]

lets see if he can win wimbledon.

[djace5]

marat is the most perfect man alive!

[chocc0]

Wow he is so beautiful! drooooooooooooolllllllllllllll­ll

[thelittlehopattheend]

Russians are more real than Americans. Marat could never be American. Thats just the way it is.

[HeartBreakKid1987]

He`s God!!!

[juvegirl]

wow he's great

[manvir13]

sampras was not #1 in the world at the time...it was my main man GUGA!!!!!

[novaksgal]

david can't even say his name right lol

[deedee51687]

HA HA HA Marat has that racket smashing stuff pretty bad, but he has competitive fire so it makes him hot, among other things. LOVE MARAT!

[cjshamrock]

marat is smart

[89Pleasek]

marat is smar(a)t

[NathanCoalbine]

@89Pleasek lol

[nazirdjon]

stupid ass sais 'you'r gonna go all the way to europe; meaning Uzbekistan (which is far away from europe in central asia.

[blacksportparis]

He's American, no surprise. What else did you expect from him ? hahahahahahahha

[edo84]

David Letterman is a dick...just Americans can enjoy the bullshit he says..

[TheGunnedDownRose]

When he said its actualkly worse about winning the us open its wat a lot of ppl say too like mats wilander his coach at some time said taht might have messed him up in his head, going out with the expectation to play like that again

lol marat looks lost at 2:17 .. hahaha the way david started the convo about anna is hillarious hahaha gotta love safin .. he iz and always will be da man!!! (i just wish his sister was as hot as him lol)

[xman4un]

It's so refreshing to have young people from foreign countries reflecting different demeanors and their own wisdom in public. Marat even then really carries himself superbly...I met him at my tennis facility in NYC in '02 before the US Open and he's like true Russian royalty, if you will!

[lasscanos]

ah, marat...always the best.

[Champane97]

Oh yes!! Marat is the best and the BEAST!!!

[shibamatachick]

I think David Letterman is uncomfortable around people who speak foreign languages. He tries to trip them up. I don't think Marat knew what road rage was... Dave carried on like a half wit.

[7nss7]

ıf you hadn't written this comment,i would have written it..i think,you are right..when letterman talks to a person who is foreigner,he wants to abase him/her...so bad !!! he speaks fast fast fast !!! but safin is cool....yeahhhh..LOVE SAFIN !!

[nath2609]

Thanks for this video. I wanted to see it for so long so thank you very much !

[mayoush87]

he can t speak tatar he speaks english spanish russian and a little bit of italian

[Sileithel]

Didn't know that he spoke a little italian...He likes Italy very much

[critia1982]

Actually, his skin is still extremely beautiful now as well, as is the whole face :). I'm not the drool-over-celebrities-and-bea­utiful-people type, but I find him remarkably beautiful and even more so in person. He's also very natural and has a fantastic presence: it was the first time I felt intimidated by a guy, and he was not even trying to be intimidating - very very nice guy.

[Sileithel]

Yeah...he's the best...I totally love him. I love Dinara, too

[VolgaTatar2007]

Marat can speak Spanish, Russian and his native Tatar language.

[VolgaTatar2007]

His English is OK but he is most comfortable in Spansh. Marat speaks Russian and his native Tatar language as well.

[mark37701]

lol anna kournikova!

[critia1982]

uzbekistan IS actually in "the way" between the states and australia....so Marat was not really making a detour, he was sort of splitting the distance in half...well, Marat is excused for not knowing his geography, but D Letterman should have have known :P

anyway, I find the 20 year old safin the funniest of all safin "versions". I also envy him for a bloody perfect face and skin!

[Sileithel]

Yeah!! his skin was so perfect then!!!

[rasto23]

Nice vid. When was this??

[safinette]

This was after he won the US Open in 2000

[sandcastles99]

thanks for the vid hes so young! but still v cute

[mayoush87]

i prefer him now he s more mature and wise and hotter

[angelinakitty]

love marat. hope he still plays. he has such a great personality and is soooo hot.

must find out if he is going toplay next year. will really miss him if he has decided to retire. THANKS FOR THIS VID
