Marat Being Marat


Oh Marat Safin, again blowing a gasket, this time against Vincent Spadea in a routine US Open first-round match that turned into a five-set marathon.

Apparently he was upset about a suspect foot-fault call.

Oh dear, the writing's on the wall. I better find that USA HD channel on my awful Time Warner line-up before it's too late otherwise I'll blink and miss Marat.

And, on top of that, he's getting introspective in his old age. To wit:

"I just want to have a nice match, win or lose, and whatever happens to go home.

"I wish I could play normal tennis and enjoy my matches sometimes."

Ah Marat, it'll be a sad day when you finally decide to hang it up.
