Mutua Madrid Open, Madrid, Spain, 2022 - Masters 1000

I think it might be kind of a Russian thing, even though Zverev is German national. Safin wore lots of necklaces, (though he didn't practice in them, as I saw him on the practice courts at the USO some years back,) and Rublev does, too. Maybe that's a way they feel girded for battle.

And because I couldn't resist:

I dont remember Safin sucking his chains lol!

Safin was more than Russian, he was the ultimate cool dude.

Safin was more than Russian, he was the ultimate cool dude.

My wife couldn't usually remember most tennis players outside of a few but she definitely remembered Marat Safin.

And not for his tennis.

Too hilarious

Remember when the brought all the former US open champions to NYC maybe ten years or more ago, Johnny Mac's wife patty asked, who is that when she saw Marat . jajaja

!I love the way The Kid does 'jumping jacks' at the net....reminds me of someone lol

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Hell Sasha and his over head smash lol! had the open court and he still stuffed it up

Safin was more than Russian, he was the ultimate cool dude.

Safin was cool, quite a free spirit .He was likeable unlike Zverev who comes off as contrived.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

The Kid has been using good variety in his serve so far in this match, has to keep it up.He is playing against a very good server in Sasha and has to be able to return well.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Great shot drop by the Kid...

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

FHand winner 144 MPH by the Kid....

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

The Kid breaks Sasha to love!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Sasha's already slumping his shoulders, bad body language, the Kid is on a Roll, he has to find a way to combat it

 

[tossip]
