Brother and sister were the best in the world, he wanders the deserts, after a struggle with depression you wouldn't recognize her

Incredible, different stories lie behind Marat Safin and Dinara Safina, brother and sister who changed tennis history and managed to be the best in the world. He was the "king of tennis", who had a temperamental streak, did not give everything to this sport, and if he had given all he could have - perhaps he would have been number one in the world longer. On the other hand, Dinara reached the top spot in 2009, and Serbia remembers her for her loss in the Roland Garros final a season earlier to Ana Ivanovic. You would hardly recognize these two now, nor guess what they do.
