Wimbledon 2008: Novak Djokovic v Marat Safin - Live!

Prediction time: Marat Safin is a man-monster - he's 6ft 4in tall and with muscles the size of the Urals. He's also won two grand slams and beat Djokovic in their one and only meeting. However he's been on the slide since picking up an injury in 2005 and Djokovic should win through, perhaps in four sets

Preamble Good afternoon everyone and welcome to the pick of the men's second-round singles matches: Novak Djokovic, the No3 seed, against Marat Safin, a man who sportswriters seem unable to write about without using the adjectives "brooding", "moody", and "enigmatic".
