Marat Safin, who is is the official promoter of the „Serbia Open 2010 powered by Telekom Srbija“ tournament, arrived in Belgrade on Thursday afternoon.
Djokovic family welcomed Marat at the tennis complex in Dorcol and organised lunch for him. He spent some time watching the matches and said that he can’t wait to experience Belgrade’s night life after the matches!
Why am I not there???
And another tennis legend was spotted at Dorcol tennis comlex yesterday. Nick Bollettieri, the owner of the world's most famous tennis academy arrived to Belgrade too.
He held a press conference and said that he would do everything to help the development of talents in Serbia.
"The Academy will help Serbia to create new stars like Novak Djokovic, Ana Ivanovic and Jelena Jankovic," said Bollettieri.
About the sports potential that Serbia has he said:
"It’s odd that such a small country has so many talented athletes. Results of your tennis players and athletes say more than words."
About the Djokovic family:
"I am honored that I am, in some way, a part of the Djokovic family, who has done so much to promote tennis in your country."
Bollettieri said that Marko Djokovic is very talented player. For Filip Krajinovic, who trains at his academy, he said to reminds him of one of the greatest tennis players of all time, Andre Agassi.
Srdjan Djokovic, Novak's father, confirmed that a closer cooperation with the Academy of Nick Bollettieri will soon be established.
"This tennis complex in Dorcol will be one of departments of Bollettieri’s Academy, where talented boys and girls will learn from their coaches," said Djokovic.

I was searching for some explanation, but nobody explained how actually Marat is the promoter of the tournament. It was just announced on the Serbia Open's official website and Goran Djokovic said that at the press conference.
About Marat and Nick...well, we all know that Marat is temperamental, who knows what happened! :)
