Federer and Safin are in my top 10 favourite players of all time. After this final, something remarkable happened a year later on this very court.

This match, Marat, made me return to Tennis after a 12 year hiatus.

Ahhh I miss those green coloured courts. The blue is too vivid. I think this was the game that had me in stitches. Marat not happy with a line call, thumped his foot on the court where he reckoned it landed. Such a funny bloke.

I remember now the match I'm thinking of Marat was wearing navy blue. Can anyone remember the match? . It was gruelling and hot. I miss the big fella. He was great to watch. Heart on his sleeve player.

Safin was exhausted going into this match, he played 3 5 setters and 3 4 setters. Not saying that he would have beaten Federer had he been fresh, but it certainly took at away from what could have been a great match, like the following year when Safin beat Federer in one of the greatest matches of all time, 9-7 in the 5th set.

A year later at AO semis, Safin successfully got revenge on him and later won the title after defeating Hewitt.

Though the 2006 polished Fedex was the closest we had someone to Tennis perfection, the Raw 2003-04 Pony Tail Fed was a Monster!!

Its the ball toss, which gives away the hint of where the serve is going to go. Having so many variations on the serve with almost exactly the same ball toss is what made Fed great. Even Djoker for that matter. Highly underrated serve!

You mean 2005 AO SF between these two? Because this channel already uploaded that. If you did refer to the 2005 final, that was between Hewitt and Safin.

Hardly a classic. By their standards, they played pretty poorly. Many unforced errors and lousy serving. Their semi-finals in 2005 was definitely a classic.

Man, these classic match highlights are awful, just missing entire sets and showing all the wasted time between points to run up the length of the video. Quit with the garbage narration and just show the highlights of the match.

I agree, the format is totally wrong. The quality has finally taken a huge leap though. If only they gave us the full match in this quality

Lol!Safin beat a young Djokovic twice,something that current era scrubs could never do against a 35-year-old. The truth is the only strong era is between 2008~2012,where the big 4 were all relatively in form and the top 8 being Tsonga,Berdych,Del Porto,Soderling,and Ferrer… After 2013 Roger declined severely,Rafa was a joke on grass for a long while and often injured,Murray came back from 2 injuries and was never as good as pre 2012.While the other members either got old and declined,or just injuries after injuries. The truth is even prime Murray,or prime Delpo,Berdych,Tsonga…etc .Will beat the living shit out of this current era.
