Interview with Marat SafinSonntag, 12.06.2005 Press-Conference with Marat Safin (RUS) after his defeat against Roger Federer (SUI) in the final. ? The match could also go the other way round, couldn it? ! Really, youe right, I also felt like this. This was once again one of these matches, when only two or three points decide all the match. We both were playing pretty well, we were serving well, so one or two mistakes are decisive. Today I made one or two bad decisions by me, and that it, the match is gone. But the way I played I think, that was really good, I satisfied with it. It still a little bit unusual for me playing on grass, because you always have to stay aggressive and play powerful tennis. This match was a really good performance from me, I lost against the world number one but had my opportunities to win, and that an important step for me. This was probably my best match on grass Ie ever played. ? What are your expectations for Wimbledon? ! Well, I hope I have enough confidence going into Wimbledon and be able to continue a high-level also there. Playing like this week and to continue the same level, would be good. But it always tough for a tall guy like me to move on grass. That why certain guys always make the final there in Wimbledon. Most of the game now is played from the baseline, and that makes it so hard for tall players, because you have to move faster than on other surfaces. http://www.gerryweber-open.de/1681.phpJustsafin
