Beaten Safin content with progressBy Simon CambersLAS VEGAS, March 3 (Reuters) - Marat Safin lost in the Las Vegas Open semi-finals on Saturday but was still content with his progress going into this month's back-to-back Masters Series events.The Russian was beaten 7-5 6-1 by Australian second seed Lleyton Hewitt on Saturday but having struggled for form over the first two months of the year, Safin believes he is on the right track."It has been pretty good for me," Safin told reporters."I didn't play that well in San Jose but now I am hitting the ball pretty well, I just have to work on a couple of things and be a bit patient, not go for too much.路透社 (3月3日)-星期六萨芬於LAS VEGAS 公开赛止步四强，但对於自己进步的情况带著信心进入下礼拜开始的两场大师赛。星期六俄罗斯人於星期六被第二种子以7-5，6-1击败，然而历经年初两个月的挣扎，萨芬相信自己的状态在正面回升。萨芬告诉记者"这一阵子我状态不错"。"在SAN JOSE 我打得不是太好，但是这是很好，就是有些地方还要加强，再有耐心一点，不要太急躁"VAMOS MARAT !附图: LV 太冷，萨芬穿了两层球衣(听说一开始还穿了三层，天气非常冷)

"I think the way I am hitting the ball is pretty good. I made the quarter-finals (In San Jose) and semi-finals (in Las Vegas). Maybe it is not unbelievable, but for me it is pretty good."Things looked promising for Safin when he broke Hewitt in the opening game of the match but the Russian said his opponent had served well when it mattered."I had my chances," he said. "But he came up with good shots at the important moments and he was serving well. I was trying to play maybe too fast, that's why I made a few mistakes."Good performances in Indian Wells and Miami this month would see Safin return to the world's top 20 from his present ranking of 24.The Russian said he would be relaxing before making the journey to California for the first of the two Masters Series events."I will take two days off and just enjoy Vegas," he said."我觉得自己现在击球状态很好。先後打进八强及四强。也许这并非不可能，对我来就是很正面的讯息"。在球赛一开始萨芬马上破了HEWITT 发球局，情势一片大好，不过萨芬表示对手在关键分数上时球发得很稳健。他说"我有机会的，但是他在重要时刻击出不少好球，而且发得好。我可能太急了，所以犯了一些失误 "如果在这个月的INDIAN WELLS 及 MIAMI 表现良好的话，萨芬极有可能从目前的24名回到世界前20。俄罗斯人说在前往加洲的大师赛前，他打算休息放松一下。萨芬表示"我要放两天假，好好享受 LAS VEGAS 这城市"＿＿＿＿＿＿＿虽然希望他能重演05年 AO 决赛戏码，不过他持续进步，也在耐心等待就好了
