The Pete Townshend of tennis made it to the semis at Wimby.
He demolished Sampras on hardcourt at the 2000 US Open final.
He beat Federer on hardcourt at the 2005 Australian Open and went on to win the slam.
Both Sampras and Federer were in top form but could do nothing against the Russian. He's rarely "in the zone", but when he is, he's unstoppable.
Way too much booze and crumpet brought him down to #75 on the ATP tour.
Now he's back on his feet again, and will face Federer in the Wimbledon semi-final.
Is Safin in the zone? Or is this just a flash in the pan?
