The TickerMarat Safin wins the battle of former No. 1s 6-4, 7-5 against Lleyton Hewitt in the first round of Monte Carlo. Hewitt arrived on Monaco after winning the title in Houston on Sunday and received treatment for a thigh problem after the first set. The match was played on the tournament's second show court.

"Nothing great. Nothing incredible to write about... he arrived like two hours before the match," said Safin, who tied his head-to-head with Hewitt at 7-7.

The TickerRoger Federer, speaking in Monte Carlo, on getting married over the weekend: "It's been some years talking about it with Mirka, but it was not easy to find the time.We decided to get married only some weeks ago. We didn't want a huge wedding. There were no other tennis players there, just family and some very close friends. We managed to keep it a secret.

"It's a very special moment... A few tears here and there. It was nice... I got very emotional, you know, yet again. So it was very nice. It was just nice to know that she loves me so much, I love her so much.

"I thought it to be a bit more relaxed because we've been together for so, so long. Once you get married, there's not a whole lot that changes. But it definitely does change your mindset, your life.

"It's also nice to be able to present Mirka as my wife and not only as my girlfriend. That's just a big change for me, it takes maybe a bit of getting used to.'This is my wife' just sounds so much better.

"I feel like I have been on a honeymoon for the last years, so I don't feel necessarily I need to go somewhere, to a special place, to celebrate with her."
