The tempestuous Russian tennis star Marat Safin has officially retired.
The curtain has fallen on the career of the former world number one with his second-round defeat in three sets to the current US Open champion Juan Martin del Potro at the Paris Masters.
In a post-match ceremony 29-year-old Safin was shown a video of his peers congratulating him on his career which included two major titles, the Australian and US Opens.
