TSF had concerns about Nikolay Davydenko facing Davis Cup teammate and v-neck posterboy Marat Safin in the second round of the French Open, especially after Safin dismantled Jean-Rene Lisnard in the match prior (granted, Lisnard is ranked 228th in the world). But it turned out to be a clay cakewalk for Kolya, who won 7-6 (4), 6-2, 6-2.
Perhaps it was Marat’s lack of jewelry that did him in. Where are his necklaces?!

Indeed, SAFIN is the most beautiful Tennis player in the world!!! His
doggedness in the court is just awesome. May he reach the QF
at the Roland Garros tournament.
