BLOG: Seriously Safin
By Richard van Poortvliet

An interested spectator at the Russia vs Argentina Davis Cup quarterfinal tie
in Moscow has been hometown hero Marat Safin.

And it seems entirely possible that the way this tie is going for the home
side (Argentina leads 2-1 going into Sunday’s last two matches), the
two-time Davis Cup champion might be itching to get out on court to help out
his country.

It was almost hard to tell this week that Safin is a retired two-time grand
slam champion. He’s been with the Russian team all week long, acting as a
hitting partner for the likes of Mikhail Youzhny and Nikolay Davydenko,
despite not having picked up a racket for almost three months. That said he
looked in pretty good form!

However, the 30 year-old Muscovite says he'ss not going to attempt a comeback
now or probably ever, as he's enjoying life away from tennis, saying, "I'
ve done enough for tennis, and I just happy to try and help out the guys and
so that they feel comfortable."

Away from the court, Safin is keeping himself busy, so busy in fact that
nightclubs and bars have been put on the backburner for the moment. Instead
of partying hearty, Safin is dabbling with politics, helping out the Russian
Olympic Committee, but his main goal is trying to set up Russia's first
tennis academy.

"It's day by day work what I am doing now, every day is the same routine,"
Safin says. "There are a lot of things to be done, and I need to hurry up
as we need to make things start happening in the next five-ten years to
ensure a bright future for Russian tennis."

Safin was a stalwart for the Russian Davis Cup team following the turn of the
millennium, helping his country to win the competition twice. Now he's
devoting the next few years of his life to try and help a new generation of
youngsters, who hopefully will go onto emulate his feats on the court.
