Former number 1 in the world, tennis player Marat Safin ends his outstanding career. He lost the final in Paris against Juan Martin Del Potro currently number 5 in the world. The russian player was once number 1 in the world and has 15 titles. He made 14 million dollars only for his wins in the court, and even more from his sponsers. The 29 year old tennis player left the court with a great round of applause from the audience. A video with some nice declaration from his fellow tennis players was also put together, including messages from Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, and Andy Murray. Safin won 2 grand slams including one U.S open and one Australian Open. He said that the money he made playing tennis created many oppurtunities, and opened many doors. " I am now closing one door and I hope another one opens up". He ended up wishing his adversary, Del Potro, all the best in his career.
