July 4, 2008
Two-times Grand Slam champion Safin, 28, trails Federer 8-2 in career meetings but will have nothing to lose on Friday and says he will savour the moment.

"It's not the same when you're 20-years old and the first time you make [Grand Slam] semi-finals. You think you are flying. You are not even touching the ground," he said. "Now it's a little bit different."
Safin was quick to play down his chances of upsetting Federer and even indulged in a little kidology, forgetting how many times the Swiss has won Wimbledon.

"The guy has won how many times already here? I mean, five, six times already, and he's on the way to win his seventh title. It's my first semi-final, so levels are a little bit different," he said.
"To beat Federer you need to be Nadal and run around like a rabbit and hit winners from all over the place. It's another chance for me. But I think it's just a little bit too difficult."
