Marat Safin
(Nationality - Russian)

Made it to the 3rd round in which he played against and lost to Roger Federer (6/3, 6/2 & 7/6).
Now this is one player who was a joy to watch. Could have sat there for hours upon hours.
Rumour has it this was his last Australian Open. If so, I'm glad I got to see him prior to him retiring.

Marat - a pleasure!
