Struggling With Desire


Marat Safin has battled injuries and so far has had a dismal 2003.

He has the raw talent to rule the world, in virtually any sport, says Shamil Tarpishchev. But what Marat Safin doesn't have, says the captain of Russia's Davis Cup team, is the desire to be the best he can be. Safin was once in the spotlight as the best in men's tennis, but lately the 22-year-old hasn't been able to find just the right coach, and some say has spent too much time partying.
