Talk:Marat Safin

message: This Wikipedia article on Safin is heaped high and deep with bullshit, and half of it could easily be removed (discarded of) to leave an efficient encyclopedia article. This article gives the impression of being written by Safin's girlfriends and boyfriends who heaped it up high and deep. 
Safin is not really a V.I.P. of a person like M. Gandhi, Neil Armstrong,  Dwight Eisenhower, or Simon Bolivar, and people need to put things into perspective.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.163.48.66 (talk) 14:19, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

message: "Safin is widely recognized as the player who can test Federer the most with his talent and his arsenal of powerful shots."
The player? Rafael Nadal, anyone? Maybe "one of the players" would be better...
:*Noted. I'll fix that in the article, but the "widely recognized" part is a weasel phrase; I hope someone can come up with a source for this opinion. Noelle De Guzman 05:00, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Apparently the last pic we had of Marat didn't have any copyright information and was subsequently deleted. Old pics of Marat were deleted because they were orphaned. Does anyone out there have a pic we can use? It shouldn't be copyrighted, ideally. --Noelle De Guzman (talk) 04:04, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

message: His father Mikhail Safin is apparently Tatar but why would he have an Orthodox Christian name like Mikhail (Michael) if that was the case? Whelanmk (talk) 12:29, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Mikhail?

message: In a word, no. Marat only played Sampras in a major once during his prime, and Sampras beat Safin in straight sets. The sentence in question, which I'm going to remove, bad grammar and all:
Marat Safin is one of few players, to beat both Pete Sampras and Roger Federer in a Grand Slam during their peaks.66.190.29.150 (talk) 20:36, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Beat Sampras at a GS in his prime??

message: I added a bit of what Safin has been doing after tennis but I feel it needs a lot more.  Also I think there needs to be a mention somewhere on his inability to defeat Fabrice Santoro since that was pretty famous as well.Captainspirou (talk) 17:38, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
