Too bad Safin somehow didn't manage to win more slams than two. I still think, if he's in good form, he can beat everyone!

The only man to ever bring Federer TO HIS KNEES.

AND to be cool enough to not let some rediculous yell or something.Just a shrug of the shoulders and a warm handshake.

So fucking cool.

@Th3BlackReaper I have given you the facts yet you choose to ignore them without backing up your argument without any credence, instead you choose to insult me and you really don't know much about tennis at all Mr grim reaper :P

@TennisCoachno1

Yeah fine. Safin sucks. Safin would get dominated by Nadal, just he got dominated by everyone else. (sarcasm by the way)

Am I the grammar police? No. But Your spelling does match that of a retard. I know more things than you, Mr coach!

[TennisCoachno1]

@Th3BlackReaper Ok so when rafa is either injured (soderling 09 played the match of his life) or playing woefully (gulbis, rome 2010 and isner at the french was the worst performance i had ever seen from rafa there) yet he still won the last two. So you disregard stats over your deluded opinion. Rafa would most likely outmaneuver Safin on most surfaces and probably would have a healthy head to head record. Are you the grammar police? You don't know much about tennis!

@Th3BlackReaper how on earth was safin a beast in 2007 and 2009? he ended those year's respectively with a year end ranking 56 and 61. In 07 the furthest he reached in a slam was the 3rd round at at the masters he didnt make it past the 2nd! In 2008 he made his best ever showing at wimbledon reaching the semi's. Statistically 09 was safin's worst year ever with a 18-22 record.

Yeah because Safin was a beast in 2007 & 2009, those two matches prove nothing, Safin would have lost to many players in those matches. Gulbis, Soderling, Isner can trouble Nadal on clay, Safin hits just as hard, on the rise and moves better than all of those guys (well, peak for peak). You can't even talk properly.

@Th3BlackReaper he was 2-0 down to rafa on hard courts i'm not sure why it would be a horrible matchup for rafa, maybe as safin's strongest shot was the backhand down the line, but he deffo wouldnt win all of them. Safin would never trouble rafa on clay that is ludicrous and as the greatneb said safin hated grass and just had one good tournament at wimby but apart from that i dont know what you are on about with no facts to back this up

Safin would be a horrible matchup for Nadal on hard courts. Winning virtually all of them and indoor/carpet. Clay Safin could trouble Nadal. Grass courts Nadal but Safin on the slower grass would be interesting. With Safin nothing is impossible.

@Th3BlackReaper

What I mean is; it wouldn't have been a certainty for him to beat all the right players when is mattered most. He would probably have had more slams, but not the double digits people are speculating. Federer would have come out on top most of the time I think, and he would have gotten frustrated with Nadal.

@thegreatNEb

Yeah because Safin never beat Sampras, Agassi, Guga, A-rod, Hewitt, Djokovic, Ferrero in slams did he?
