The Young Guns

Marat Safin (Rus)

Thunderous groundstrokes, a powerful service, a fierce temper and a tendency to blow up on court are going to punctuate this young Russian's assault on the number one position this year. Leading the brat-pack, the 20-year-old will surely be gunning for Kuerten's number one spot.

Born on 27 January, 1980, in Moscow, Russia, and currently World No. 2, this 6 ft. 4 in. tall right-handed player played 31 ATP Tour tournaments in 2000 and Won 7 Tournament Titles.
