Quick interview with Marat after his quarter final match against Verdasco
Q. Well done Marat,great match. How do you feel?
A I feel good. I think I really played well today. I think it was the first match in a long time that I felt in control over the match.
Q Next is Hewitt or Lopez? (We spoke to Marat before we knew Hewitt had won)
A They are both great players. I don't have such a good record with Lopez and I haven't played Hewitt since the finals in Australia 2005. I'm just hoping to play good tennis and then it will all be okay.
Interviewer: Great talking to you. Good luck for the semis.
Marat : Thanks a lot and thanks for all the support.

Congratulation to Marat Safin for his great win over Benjamin Becker!!
Benjamin defeated Andre Agassi in his last match in the U.S Open and is currently ranked 57 in the atp ranking.
It was a tough five set match for Safin. Safin showed great tennis and a lot of fighting strength when he came back to win the forth and fifth set after being down 2 sets to 1.
Safins next match will be against the new Israeli young sensation Dudi Sela currently ranked 202 in the atp ranking. Sela just defeated the thai Paradorn Srichaphan after passing three qualifying rounds.
Safin will play the fourth match in the Vodafone Arena.
We all wish Safin the best of luck and hope he will win tomorrow.
