Q. Does the fact that you've picked yourself up off the floor before in your career, does that help you now in terms of your outlook?
MARAT SAFIN: Yeah. Well, but that was like, it looks like that, but I had so many injuries. So it's not because I was scratching my things on the sofa and I didn't want to play tennis. Because I've been sick for a couple of years of my tennis career, so it took me quite a while to get back
:unsure: things Mr Safin? I am sure Jo and I could come help with that :halo:

Q. Will you watch Berdych tonight?
RAFAEL NADAL: I don't know. I don't know. It's at 9:00, no? I don't think so. I think we know each other, Berdych and Andreev, and he's not an unknown player. It's dinnertime. |

James Blake considers the Youzhny style of winning matches:
| QUOTE |
Q. Did you ever at any point consider smashing yourself three times in the head with a tennis racquet?
JAMES BLAKE: I saw that. That was pretty funny. Not for Mikhail, I'm sure. I saw that the other say. My strings are strung way too tight. If I hit myself just with the strings I'd be bleeding.
Mardy Fish does that. He punches the strings and ends up bleeding on his knuckles. I did that as a kid and I kind of stopped doing that. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
Q. Youzhny got over half a million hits on YouTube.
JAMES BLAKE: Maybe I should -- maybe I'll get more popular. No, I don't think it's worth it. |
It's ok James - you're popular with some people already, no need for the self harming :P
