At the start of match

Felicitaciones Marat! :)

¡Bien hecho! :)
With this victory, Safin, has now matched German Boris Becker as the only other player to claim 3 trophies here. Becker had captured the titles in 1986, 1989 and 1992 (every 2 years) while Marat won in 2000, 2002 and 2004 (every 2 years).
Marat also becomes the first player to claim back-to-back indoor Masters Series crowns after winning in Madrid two weeks ago :)
