Marat Safin

(RUS) "Mr. Unpredictable"

THE LOWDOWN:
With an explosive inner fire, "Mr. Unpredictable" is capable of blazing his way through any draw- or going up in flames. Safin is particularly lethal on hard courts, winning the '00 US Open and this year's Aussie open. Barring a major meltdown, he figures as a US Open Series favorite.
