Marat Safin asks to increase the holidays

Russian Marat Safin won his starting match this year. With a score of 6: 1, 6: 4, the Russian defeated the Belgian Olivier Rochus, taking revenge on him for his defeat in the last personal meeting.

However, after the match, Safin, who, incidentally, was “sow” first told reporters that he was not pleased with the Asia -Pacific Cleem. According to Safin, there should be more breaks between the beginning and the end of the season, otherwise it may affect the physical condition of tennis players. “We have the smallest breaks to rest, unlike other sports,” Safin said. At the same time, Safin cited the fact that he himself was resting only two weeks, reports Reuters.

In this regard, the agency gives statistics that last season Safin took part in 82 single -single matches. Then he began the season with the open championship of Australia, and ended the victory in the final of the Davis Cup. The tennis year began for Safin in January, and ended in December. Since 1997, the Russian earned $ 8.4 million on courts.
