One of the regrets I will always have as a tennis fan and aficionado is that Marat Safin, one of the best ever to pick up a racket, didn’t live up to his potential. Safin and Roger Federer were contemporaries and were both brilliant in their trade. They were born a year apart and turned pro in 1997 and 1998, respectively. Purely on skills, they were more or less evenly matched. In fact,...
