Women's
Sharapova vs. Jankovic
Ivanovic vs. Hantuchova
Men's
Nadal vs. Tsonga
Federer vs. Djokovic
Sharapova's playing really well at this tournament.. Saw her game against Henin and she totally outplayed the world no.1.. Glad to see Ivanovic finally winning over Venus Williams.. If Sharapova and Ivanovic continue their excellent play (both haven't dropped a set yet for this tournament), there's a big chance they'd meet at the Finals.. on the men's side, I'd love to see Djokovic reach the finals.. unfortunately, he's up against Federer.. i'm guessing we'll have another Nadal vs. Federer finals..
Post by: indie boi on Jan 24, 2008 at 12:28 AM
I also want Djokovic to enter the finals but I think it is kinda remote with Federer as his opponent. But then Federer is not in top form right now so an upset could be possible. I haven't seen Tsonga play so I can't call this match versus Nadal.

Looking at how Federer plays lately, I'm beginning to think that he's just acting like he's off his usual high performance level. He might think that people might be getting bored with him that's why he always looks like he's going to lose games or sets but at the last minute gives off those amazing shots of his. But then that's just me. He may really be off at this tournament.

I haven't seen Sharapova play this well ever. She's really improved over the off season. Imagine demolishing Justin Henin by shutting her out in the second set. I agree, Ivanovic is going to have her hands full when they meet.

Chance for the young guns to carve a niche for themselves. I don't want to take anything from Djokovic's win because he did play well, but Federer really lost the game for himself. He was really not at his usual level in this tournament.
I'm going to root for Tsonga in the finals, based on what I've seen he looks like the better technical player.

Sharapova was just really in the zone the whole tournament.. Ivanovic didn't really play that bad.. Dinaan sa lakas ng palo at lakas ng sigaw ni Sharapova.. I think Sharapova's win over Davenport really gave her the confidence for the tournament.. Then when she won over Henin, she just went for the kill after that.. Nakatulong din yung pagkatalo ng Williams sisters.. For Ivanovic, those 2 emotional games before the finals may have taken its toll on her.. Those were 2 very hard games then she had to face a very in shape Sharapova.. Too much for her to handle at that point, I think..
Luck of the draw, I guess...
Anyway, I'm happy seeing Maria raising up her 3rd Slam trophy... stinky odors? Who cares...
Next up... Djoker's game! I really rejoiced yesterday after watching and seeing the Fedex slumped all the time... Again, win or lose, I'll be rooting for the Djoker... I just love his personality on and off the court...

How about that Ivanovic-Dechy match? I was rooting for Ivanovic but towards the end I was wishing Dechy would win. Dechy really played well and I feel bad she lost. Not a good game by Ivanovic. Too many unforced errors. Her service was inconsistent as well. I hope she plays better next time. She won't meet anyone really strong until the Quarters so it would be sad if she goes before then..

Post by: Clondalkin on Jul 07, 2008 at 01:03 PM
Last night's match between Nadal and Federer was definitely on the same level of greatness. It could have gone either way. Federer's resilience was unbelievable despite losing the 1st 2 sets. He simply wouldn't relinquish his title without fighting up to the very last point. How many times was he down 0-30 on his serve, only to answer with 4 straight point to win the game. On the other hand, Nadal's recovery from all missed chances to wrap it all up in the 4th was equally amazing. Had Nadal lost this championship, he would forever be haunted by the memories of him being up 5-2 in the tie-break, serving for the match, yet eventually losing the set. John McEnro failed to do that in his epic battle with Borg in 1980. I didnt want it to end despite totally losing Monday morning sleep.

yup federer has a coach and i think it has something to do with him losing the french open and wimbledon finals. kasi i think he hired a new coach nung start of the year na kilalang specialist sa clay na i think coached michael chang when he won it. yung kanyang gf todo support talaga sa kanya. sana naglalaro din ng tennis yun para pwede sila sa mixed doubles :P
The cuty gf was a national tennis player in her teens so she must be quite good in the game as well. That's how they met, I read. I guess na TL si Roger because as "bigger than life" as he is, he could easily date celebrities just like McEnroe, Connors, Sampras, Becker and Agassi. ;D
Post by: rock_star on Sep 09, 2008 at 09:18 PM
now if murray can sustain his momentum and do a 'djokovic' (last years us open finalist) which means using the grandslam final experience and use it to win a grandslam right away or just win the season-ending masters champhionships, then he's definitely a staple in the top rankings.
just that don't do a 'fernando gonzalez' (last year's aussie open finalist) and just a flash in the pan

federer's record is already established, he doesnt have to do anything and he'll still be remembered as one of the best if not the best. He doesnt need roland garros. Although getting the french open will make him the best ever without a doubt. IMO, he'll probably get 17-18 grand slams before he retires.

i guess you noticed that since federer kept losing to nadal, he already comes to the net often. Dati puro baseline lang sya. But he's not going to beat nadal that way. The only way to beat nadal for federer is to serve and volley (specially in clay). If i were federer i would get stefan edberg as coach.

With the (terrible) way Federer served during the entire match, it's amazing how he managed to keep it close until the middle part of the 5th set. To add to that, 18 or 19 break point chances yet converted only 4 or 5 I think? I wanted to cry with Roger.
This is an awesome rivalry in any case.
Roger should hire Navratilova, McEnroe or Sampras as consultants to prepare for his future matches with Rafa.

It seems Roger lost his energy and focus during the last set.
Rafa is really difficult to beat. He is like a human wall.. lahat ng ibato sa kanya, bumabalik. ;D
Roger served worst during the 5th set. I dont think half of his 1st serves went in. Halos puro 2nd serve. That's very frustrating at such juncture of a close championship match.
Yeah, Rafa is awesome. And I like the "orderly" way he eats banana. ;D

Okay din yung match, with a number of really good points. And at least ng 5 sets siya. But I found the Nadal Verdasco match much more exciting. Or perhaps I was just expecting it to be as good as their Wimbeldon finals.
So you'd rather not have it in HD Bro? ;D
Yeah, when the match reached the 5th set, I felt hapi-hapi na yung game for all tennis lovers. Sulit na yung 4 hours in front of the TV set.
Yeah, Verdasco nearly outmuscled Rafa at dawn on Saturday but I still think the baseline rallies and shot-making against Roger were more awe-inspiring.
Commentators call them unforced errors but if you're hitting a Rafa ball spinning like a hard drive in all directions, how can you not be forced to swing a little bit long or wide? :)
I think some of the best highlights of the match were all those break points that Rafa saved, especially the 0-40 ones. Roger could have finished him in 4 sets if not for those recoveries in the 3rd set. I'm still a huge Roger fan but hats-off to Rafa's mental strength, determination and athletism (my wife thought he's kindy sissy on the bench though. ;D). Hope Rafa doesnt get badly injured with his very hard play style and sustains the rivalry with Roger for years. Cant wait for their next clash. Hopefully, Roger won't retire so soon like Borg did, and can extend Rafa to 5 sets on clay.
But Roger needs a coach. Somebody, other than his fiance, should advise him not to fight Rafa from the baseline too much on most points - but I love watching them play that way. :)
Post by: sardaukar on Feb 02, 2009 at 10:02 AM

Well, now that you mentioned it, if I had to chose, I might get the semis match instead of the finals. :) But I don't often rewatch sporting events anyway so...

Agree. Nadal climbing out of 0-40 was tremendous. No.1 na talaga siya. And Federer, well...ever since Wimbledon, he does not have the aura of invincibility anymore. Di na takot mga kalaban niya sa kanya. He's still very good, but he had that extra going for him before.
Agree, too that hopefully we get at least 3 more years of Nadal/Federer in the finals.

The way the two of them played, it seems they are destined to face each other in the French, Wimby & US Opens.
They are both above their class. Hope they remain healthy for the year.
Seeing Roger in tears was a big surprise. He was really taken-in by his emotion.
He was the obvious favorite and the tears were more of frustration for having disappointed his supporters.
And as we fondly say... abangan ang susunod na kabanata!! ;D

I hope Roger wins his fit French Open. Pressured sya for sure. Now that the bigs are eliminated.
oo nga eh. mukhang itong year na ang best chance ni federer to win the french open... :) pati so djokovic natalo rin.
Nadal finally loses at the French Open.. looks like it's Federer's time to finally get that elusive French Open title..
Post by: ruth2art on Jun 03, 2009 at 12:08 PM
While 23-seed Soderling, who beat Nadal earlier, made minced-meat of Davydenko in 3 sets.
I'd prefer to see Federer and Soderling in the finals. If in case Roger wins, then he can say to Rafa, "hey, i beat the guy who beat you!!".
Take that.;D ;D ;D
Post by: ruth2art on Jun 07, 2009 at 09:11 AM
He is not as dominant as before where he usually breeze thru opponents.
Lately, he had to go thru come-from-behind, five-setter games to reach the finals.
Competition is catching up on him and this may be his last chance at the title.
Arguably, Roger is the best tennis player ever. He has nothing to prove.
Except maybe redeem himself from this one.

that was one boring final, soderling wasnt playing in the same level he did in defeating the rest.
suck cause i always thought sampras' record was nearly untouchable then came federer, looks like he'll break sampra's 14 major wins this year.

No doubt about it, he is an intelligent player, but let's face it, Nadal has his numbers...
i am pretty sure that he knows he ain't over the hill yet.
he knows how to beat nadal, and it was demonstrated by soderling. but knowing and doing are two different things. he needs to tweak his game a little bit and become more aggressive by attacking the net consistently. but herein lies his real problem. he needs to get himself fired up for every game. he must not be satisfied with his current game which would almost always beat anyone, anytime, anyplace except for the "freak of nature from madrid" who tracks down every ball specially at the baseline area. if federer can be aggressive from the first round to the finals of every tournament then nadal would be spending more time in his swimming pool drowning in his tears.

But while the match itself was full of drama and excitement, I found the points themselves a little boring. Short points, unforced errors, few "wow" moments. Unless I'm just comparing this to last year and it's falling short.
The 4 set points in the second is probably still haunting Roddick. Sayang talaga.

Federer played so smooth and relaxed that you'd sometimes feel he was losing his concentration. I dont think Roddick played better than Roger overall. Yes he had some strange unforced errors and he broke Roddick's serve only once (and finally won it all), but Federer put a whole lot more pressure on Roddick's service games than the other way around, while he loved Roddick a lot more on his own serves. The only time I felt Roddick really had a chance of beating him was during the survival period of the final set . For a while there, I thought Federer had run out of gas, then delivered another ace.
But hats off really to Roddick. I didnt expect him to put that much challenge based on their previous matches. It was a pain looking at his distraught face after the game and he would probably have nightmares on the 2nd set tie-break lost after reaching set-point at 6-2.

The cameraman was toggling between Mrs. Federer and Mrs. Roddick quite often during the entire match, and in some instances, it appeared na manganganak sa nerbyos si Mrs. Federer. Anyways, I think Mrs. Federer has got the better looking face but she's no match to the body of Mrs. Roddick. There's something strange about the nose of Mrs. Roddick - it kinda look like that of Roger...hehehe.. Well, kanya kanya lang taste yan. ;D
Ang hot babe ay yung katabi ni Michael Ballack...and that very very old classy lady wearing hat who looked liked an actress of some sort. Lumaki na yung braso ng wife ni Pete Sampras. ;D

Well, Roger rarely gets upset on court, but this one will cost him, not that it would make him cringe...

sinasawaan din sila sa daily routine nila, practice and training, hinahanap ang normal life na wala sa kanila.
Others take that kind of opportunity to recuperate their war injuries, then after a looong lay off, hinahanap naman ng katawan ang competition, ang most common complaint lang naman ng mga world class athletes ay ang everyday training and practice, walang ipinag-iba yan sa weekend warriors sir, dumadating ang point na sinasawaan sa games, and a loong rest is needed, then bumabalik naman ulit ang enthusiasm sa paglalaro...
Its going to be a treat to see kung ano ang sinasabi ni Henin na ipinagbago ng serve nya, and of course the best backhand in the business...

Whatever the reason for retirement - lack of motivation, giving into the pressure of being at the top, change of priorities, recovering from injury, etc. - a comeback bid by a top athlete will always be anticipated & supported by most sports fans.
I do like the idea of sharing part of their earnings. After all, they are back for the the love of the game, right? ;)

Way to go Rafa!!!!!!!!!!
Kung hindi sana naging "maputik" yung laban ni Federer kay Soderling, Federer would have had better chances of extending Nadal to 4 sets on clay. ;D
Rafa's gradual shift from "passive" wall to a more offensive play style is very impressive. He's very young and would have a lot of chances to break Borg's record in the French Open as long as he stays healthy.
But his style of biting banana (gingerly left and right), then folding the peel very carefully and nicely is still too f#ckin gay. ;D Wife and daughter love to watch his peculiar ceremonies. ;D

Consider: The longest previous set at Wimbledon lasted 46 games. Isner-Mahut didn't just shatter the record, they obliterated it.
Among the other remarkable statistics from the match:
— It's the longest match in tennis history: 10 hours. The previous record was 6 hours, 33 minutes.
— Longest set in tennis history: 118 games.
— Most games in tennis history: 163 (previous record was 112).
— The match is almost two hours longer than the longest Major League Baseball game in history (an 8:06 game between the White Sox and Brewers in 1984).
— Both players broke the ATP record for most aces in a match. Isner had 98, Mahut hit 95. The previous record was 78. Combined, the two had 193 aces, more than double the old record of 96.
— Mahut had just three break points during the entire match.
— The first four sets took 2 hours, 54 minutes. The fifth set is at 7 hours, 6 minutes and counting.
— Mahut won 448 points to Isner's 428. Isner had more winners: 333 to 318.
— The final set is longer than the previous longest match in tennis history. That was 6 hours, 33 minutes.
— Isner had four match points, one at 11-10, two others at 33-32 and another at 59-58. The first and last match points came nearly six hours apart.
— At 50-50, Mahut had two break points and Isner promptly served a 134 mph ace.
— With Mahut serving at 52-53, the pair exchanged a 16-shot rally which ended with a Mahut forehand winner. It was the longest rally of the match. On the next point, Mahut dove for a backhand at the baseline following another long rally.
— The players took their first bathroom break at 58-58. While walking in the tunnel, they exchanged pleasantries, the first time they had spoken all evening.
— Mahut only qualified for Wimbledon after winning a qualifying match in a 24-22 final set.
— The scoreboard stopped working at 47-47.
We'll never see the likes of this again.
The match is scheduled to be completed on Thursday afternoon. But Wimbledon organizers may want to keep a court open for Friday, just in case.

(http://blogs.tennis.com/.a/6a00d83451599e69e2014e880c9bfa970d-800wi)
Rafa just won Barcelona for the 6th straight time, two weeks after winning Monte Carlo for the 7th straight time. He is the only player in history to have won 2 tournaments 6 or more consecutive times. Remember that Rome and Roland Garros are coming up. He's won those 5 times.
To add to his records (courtesy of tennis.com):
- Nadal has won his 11th 500 Series title and is in 2nd place in the all time list, only one title behind Sampras who leads with 12 titles.
- Nadal is, by far, the best clay court player in history with a ible 93% winning percentage. Since 2005, Nadal has only lost 6 matches, and he is 186-6, which is equal to a 97% winning percentage. Nadal has won and outstanding 31 of 48 clay tournaments he has ever played for a 65% winning percentage.
- Nadal passed Borg with 31 career clay court titles for 3rd place in the all time list. Next ahead in the list is Muster with 40. Nonetheless, Muster’s wins are of a much lesser quality, as 26 of his titles are 250 Series level. Contrast that with Nadal who has only five 250 Series and 40 of a higher level.
- Nadal is also the best outdoor player in history with an 85.2% winning percentage.
- With his 44rd outdoor tournament win, Nadal has also surpassed Muster for 5th place in the all time outdoor win list. Next up is Agassi with 48 wins.
- Nadal has the all time best winning percentage at 400 wins (400-91 for an 81.5%) and 500 wins (500-105 for an 82.6%).
- Nadal is only 0.03% percentage points behind Borg for 1st in the overall career winning percentage record.

Nadal showed how Federer can be defeated, by using power and speed coupled with intensity. Now, the other players use the same tactics against Federer with varying success. Federer needs to be more consistent in finishing off his opponents. He tends to ease up against opponents when ahead.

"How did Novak Djokovic conquer the tennis world?
Maybe the answer is as simple as this: Since last year, he's swearing off pasta, pizza, beer, French bread, Corn Flakes, pretzels, empanadas, Mallomars and Twizzlers—anything with gluten."

If the results follow the seedings up to the semi-finals, then Federer will have to beat Djokovic in the semi-finals and the winner of the Nadal-Murray other semi-final, to win his second French Open.

Sharapova's looking good.. not a perfect game earlier but she never lost focus.. won the 1st set after being down 1-4 then took the 2nd set after saving 5 set points..she's got a great chance to finally win the French Open now that the top seeds are gone.. wag lang ma-jinx.. ;D
Unfortunately, there are still two former French Open champions playing, Kuznetsova and last year's champion Schiavone, though the two are in the same upper bracket of the draw. So she could be meeting either one of the two in the finals. For Sharapova to reach the final, she has to first beat dancing girl Petkovic and then meet the winner of the Li - Azarenka match. Not really a tall order knowing Sharapova's capabilities and fighting heart, but this is the French Open, and Sharapova's game is not really suited for clay!
But just the same, I'm rooting for her unless she meets Kuznetsova in the finals. :D
The French Open has never been this wide open since Henin first retired!

nadal goes for his 6th french open crown to tie borg while federer goes for his 2nd french open crown. if federer beats nadal, he would only be the 2nd player to beat nadal in the french open, the 1st being soderling. but there is the added incentive of beating nadal in his own turf!

Fantastic tournament by Li Na, congrats to her.
China has its first grandslam winner!
She was in control of the match for most of the time except for a brief period in the second set where nerves got the better of her and she froze up allowing Schiavone to break back and get the lead. It's a good thing she settled down in the tie break!

Post by: Clondalkin on Jun 06, 2011 at 06:36 AM
I thought Roger did pretty well in the first set by attacking the net as often as he could, on serve. It was effective. But then he reverted to his usual baseline game eventually, lost the sting on his 1st serves and he simply had tooooo much unforced error (but could be argued as pseudo-forced errors given the fact that Nadal's ball spins like hell).
On the other hand, Rafa is simply too superior on clay and despite his slow start in the tournament and injury here and there, he only had to see Federer on the other side of the net to elevate his game at Roland Garros beyond other's reach - and he also needed to change his foot plaster during the 1st set to start the meticulous destruction of Roger's fast start - hehe.
And if Nadal manages to stay healthy enough for the next 4 or 5 years, and given his impressive adaptation on faster surfaces, he may actually exceed the grand slam titles of Roger and be the greatest after all.

Post by: DaSilva on Jun 07, 2011 at 02:27 PM
Then Fed falls back to his old habits, first allowing the ball to rise too high on his backhand, then after a while his forehand goes spraying balls too.
The tennis.com analysts said it simply: Nadal's topspin forehand to Federer's one-handed backhand is a battle that Federer cannot win. Therefore Roger has to change his game plan.
Post by: Clondalkin on Jun 08, 2011 at 01:28 PM

Post by: brainwashed on Jun 08, 2011 at 03:37 PM
After losing to Nadal 16x over and 4x at Roland Garros, I cannot believe that Federer is not fully aware of what he should do to beat Rafa at The French Open. The gameplan is known to any tennis fan. Unfortunatly, Roger simply cant execute it to date. It has always been the same story again and again.
Even the combined prayers of my wife and I during matches didnt help. hehe

Federer is fully aware of what he needs to do to beat Rafa. He tries to execute it at the start of his matches with Rafa with success. But when the pressure is on he reverts back to what he has been doing and what he has had success with these past years. And that is when Rafa starts to wear him down both physically and mentally. I guess you really can't teach old dogs new tricks, at least not quickly enough. And mind you, Federer is not yet old.

Assuming the top 8 seeds get to the quarterfinals, Nadal will meet no.6 Berdych. If he wins, and there is no reason why he won't, having beaten Berdych in last year's final, he then will face in the semi-final either no.4 Murray or no.8 Roddick.
On the lower half of the draw, no.3 Federer will face no.7 Ferrer while no.2 Djokovic will face no.5 Soderling in the quarterfinals.

Sharapova is in Serena's part of the draw so nothing's sure as of now. Venus is in the lower half of the draw so another Williams-Williams final is possible.
Based on the draw, Nadal can only face Federer in the final, that is if they both get through.

Tsonga boots out Federer in 5 sets!
Tsi-nongga ng serve ni Tsonga si Federer sa last 3 sets. Tinalo in 3 breaks in 3 sets.
Pero grabe nga yung power ni Tsonga during the last 3 sets. Yung tunog ng serves and power strokes ay nakaka-tsongga. Federer looked practically hopeless in many instances.
Up to yesterday I was already planning my Sunday night for a finale between Nadal and Federer. So now, I feel Tsongged!
Super Tsongged si Federer dahil he actually won more points, and committed very few unforced errors, but still lost the match in the end.
The ladies in Tsonga's family box are quite pretty. Ano kayang mix-lahi yon?

Matigas ang ulo ni Fed. He didn't adjust his game in the last three sets to counter the change in Jo Willy's game. Not to take anything away from Tsonga. It was his best match since the Thrilla in Manila haha.
Naniniwala pa rin kasi si Federer na at some point in the game bibigay yung kalaban niya just as long as he plays his usual game. Kaso hindi na totoo yan kasi alam na ng mga players na kaya na nilang talunin si Federer. Yung aura of invincibility dati ni Federer ay na kay Nadal na!

http://www.atpworldtour.com/News/Tennis/2011/06/26/Wimbledon-Friday-Djokovic-To-Become-New-Number-One-Monday.aspx
Novak Djokovic is guaranteed to become the new World No. 1 in the 2011 South African Airways ATP Rankings on Monday by reaching the Wimbledon final. The Serb Friday defeated Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 7-6(4), 6-2, 6-7(9), 6-3 in the semi-finals of the 125th Wimbledon Championships. Djokovic will overtake Spaniard Rafael Nadal, who held the top spot for 56 weeks in his second stint as No. 1.
Djokovic’s ascendance to World No. 1 can be attributed to an incredible 2011 season, which includes a 47-1 record through Friday’s Wimbledon semi-final victory. Djokovic has claimed seven titles, including his second Grand Slam title at the Australian Open, and four ATP World Tour Masters 1000 crowns at Indian Wells, Miami, Madrid and Rome. The Serb defeated Nadal in all four of those Masters 1000 finals.
Djokovic becomes the 25th player to reach No. 1 and is the first player other than Nadal or Roger Federer to grasp the top spot since Andy Roddick held the ranking for 13 weeks from 3 November 2003 to 2 February 2004. Djokovic is the first player from his country to achieve the milestone; Serbia is the 13th nation represented atop the South Africans Airways ATP Rankings.

Rafa's best shot, his forehand, goes right into Novak's best shot, his backhand. Kontra-pelo.
Post by: ruth2art on Jul 04, 2011 at 06:38 AM
In the past, he will be seen breathing heavily ang sweating profusely after long rallies. Oftentimes, after an unforced error, he will curse at himself, beat his racquet to the ground or even his head. But now, you can even see him smile at his mistakes and clap at an opponent's passing shot. These are traits that Rafa & Roger learned early in their careers. His time has come.

The opponents of Djokovic have been saying that he uses movement even more than Nadal does. I didn't believe it -- until last night. Djokovic covers the court even more fluidly than Rafa does.
During the match, they showed the total distance covered by each player with Djokovic "running" farther than Nadal. How the bloody hell did they measure that? - sensors were attached to both players?
The 4th set could have gone the other way if not for Nadal's crucial unforced errors, but it's amazing how much improvement Djokovic attained with his slimmer look.

But as to "the best," tennis experts say Fed's backhand isn't even the best single-handed one, Youzhny and Gasquet have more effective and versatile one-handers.
But a one-handed backhand is no match for the modern two-hander.
Post by: ABCmotorparts on Jul 05, 2011 at 03:22 PM
Advantages of one-handed backhand:
1. It's easier to reach the balls, so it would take less time and effort.
2. It's very easy to get to the low balls, as you hit the ball when it's low.
3. You can control whether you want the ball to land exactly near the net or on the baseline (the distance of the ball).
4. You would have a better and easier slice, as you have taken on playing with one hand.
5. It's easier to do, as it goes with your hand.
6. Your opponent won't know where you are hitting the ball, as you always do the same motion.
7. It's more exciting :)
Disadvantages of one-handed backhand:
1. It's more difficult to control the direction of the ball (right or left).
2. It's difficult to do at the beginning, as it's either out of the court or ti doesn't get over the net, but once you've done it everything is under control.
3. It needs more power to do.
Advantages of two-handed backhand:
It gives more power and accuracy.
Disadvantages of two-handed backhand:
1. It's more difficult to reach the balls, especially the low ones, coz you have to go very down to get them.
2. Not a better slice, coz you won't be used to using one hand.

So it looks like the top 2-handers have done a good job of minimizing disadvantage no. 1 - you can see them really bending and almost kneeling. Some use a one-hander for a quick slice - Rafa does this. Then they reap the benefits of more power and more accuracy. Plus, a quicker reaction because it's more compact, with a shorter backswing.
I also play a single-hand backhand (very very badly hahaha) but more and more I see myself as a dinosaur.

http://www.gmanews.tv/story/230980/sports/us-open-nadal-dodges-inspired-golubev-to-reach-second-round
NEW YORK - Holder Rafa Nadal saved seven set points in the second set and battled back from two breaks down in the third to beat Andrey Golubev of Kazakhstan 6-3 7-6 7-5 Tuesday in his opening match at the U.S. Open.
Nadal was far from his best but raised his game at critical points, reeling off the last five games in succession to subdue the surprising Golubev, who came to Flushing Meadows with a 6-24 record this year.
Golubev dictated points by moving inside the baseline to slash groundstrokes into both corners and make deft use of the drop shot against the French Open champion.
Ten times grand slam winner Nadal showed his championship class in roaring back from 2-5 down in the third set after winning the second-set tiebreak 7-1.
"I was a little bit lucky to win today in straight sets," Nadal said in an on court interview after the two hour, 49 minute match. "He was a very difficult player to play. He played very fast." — Reuters
YEHEY!!! Vamos RAFA!!!!

Edit to add: I'm watching the 5th set now, and Djokovic is relentlessly attacking Federer's backhand, and winning. Indeed, today's semifinals showed again that, among the top 4 players' backhands, Roger's backhand is the weakest.
Wimbledon finalists grudge match coming up!

sir goodluck sa fave mong si wozniacki. haha. medyo marami ata ang inis sa kanya kasi may pagkamayabang ng kaunti kahit di pa nananalo ng grand slam. at marami din ang ayaw sa style niya na naghihintay lang ng error ng kalaban para makapuntos. pero wala pa ring tatalo kay serena williams sa kayabangan. hehe

I love how Kim Clijsters played yesterday,..
Power and precision, Wozniacki was outclassed...!
My money is on Kim again this year,... ;)
Men's side, grabe ang hirap na inabot ni Nadal kay Berdych,
iba ang lakas ng bola ni Berdych kahapon, Nadal was having a hard time
returning, but when he took the ball on the rise, iba na naging usapan,
nawala sa rhythm ang palo ni Berdych, really an impressive win by Nadal...
But I still would like to see Federer win this one, he still has to prove na hindi pa sya matanda HAHAHA

But Djokovich is really strong - or contra pelo talaga si Nadal - the same way na contra pelo naman si Federer. The best scenario for Federer is to face Murray in the semis and then Djokovich in the finals. Hehehe.
I truly pity Andy Murray for being in the same generation as Djokovich, Nadal and Federer, but the current group has got to be one of the best top 4 of all time, if not the best.
Post by: DaSilva on Jan 30, 2012 at 06:28 PM
Seriously, though, ang tigas pareho ng ulo ni Roger at Raga. Roger had the right game plan, won Set 1, then abandoned it. Rafa, same thing. Nole's a monster if you just play a defensive game; you have to take it to him much more aggressively. Rafa can't do the same game plan he uses for Roger, against Nole.
Post by: brainwashed on Jan 30, 2012 at 09:24 PM
Now that they're showing a lot of Andy's GF on TV, I don't pity him one bit, haha.

It's difficult to change something that has worked before almost every time against almost every one. Federer finds it difficult to change his playing style just for Nadal. Nadal also finds it difficult to change his playing style just for Djokovic. Furthermore, Nadal has Federer mentally/psychologically beaten. Vijay pointed this out right after Nadal beat Federer in the semis. And it seems Djokovic is starting to build the same edge against Nadal.

The players from that generation were more exciting than the current crop of players. Nowadays, players are contented playing on the baseline. Most wait for their opponents to make mistakes while the better ones try to force the issue by making use of angles together with power but still playing on the baseline. Rarely do the current crop of players serve and volley with the exception of Federer and some of the taller players like Isner. But Federer is getting old and would rather outplay his opponent from the baseline.

Yup, Guga Kuerten was a fave due to his solid play in clay ..... and that crazy Brazilian 'fro.
The male grunts are actually tolerable for me ..... they seem to be still within the realm of the natural.
The female grunts however, are a different thing altogether. I remember watching Monica Seles (another personal fave) and just had to lower the volume of the TV set ..... I watched Azarenka one time, that grunt is absolutely annoying.

I read somewhere that some players grunt to annoy and distract the opponent. There was this male player who once got so annoyed with his opponents grunting that he complained to the umpire and then started grunting loudly just to prove a point. If I remember correctly, it was Thomas Muster, who was one of my favorite clay court specialists.
Don't think there was anyone more annoying than Monica Seles ;D. Wasn't she stabbed for that or something?

Yup ... like I said, Seles was annoying (had to lower the TV volume when watching her) ..... but can't deny that those grunts are a small price to pay for watching greatness.
She was actually stabbed by a hardcore & deranged fan of her rival Stefi Graf ..... I dont think it had anything to do with her grunts - she was just that good a rival to Graf.

Monica Seles is always remembered whenever the topic is grunters in tennis, for she was the one who started it for women's tennis. Jimmy Connors was the original grunter for men's tennis.
Monica Seles was not the most annoying female grunter. That notoriety goes to Michelle Larcher de Brito from Portugal. The loudest is Maria Sharapova!
Here is an interesting link on female grunters in tennis:

i believe youre referring to Martina Hingis. She partied too much and got involved in drugs. After that she was never the same. She just dropped in ranking until she wasnt winning any tournament. She eventually retired shortly after.
Grunting is that noise that you make while you make a shot (like a shriek).

Grunting is that noise that you make while you make a shot (like a shriek).
Martina Hingis was dominating the female tennis scene when she got injured on both ankles forcing her to withdraw from professional tennis in 2002. This was the time that power tennis played by the Williams sisters began to dominate women's tennis. In 2006, after several surgeries and long periods of recuperation, Hingis tried to comeback and was able to get back into the top 10 but got involved romantically with Radek Stepanek, who was known to party and was rumored to be into drugs . Hingis tested positive for cocaine in Wimbledon 2007 and was subsequently banned for two years. Though she denied using the drug she decided not to appeal and instead opted for retirement, what with her injuries and age and the fact that an appeal would probably take years to settle. She still maintains her innocence to this day. And with recent videos and photos of her, I am inclined to believe her! ;D

novak vs roger in french open semifinals. same as last year where roger won. this year roger will be facing a different djokovic who won 3 straight grand slam titles. personally i think it's a toss-up between them as to who will face rafa in the finals. i'm already assuming rafa will beat ferrer in the other semifinal match. :D
Sad as it may, pero narating na ni Roger ang pinaka-peak nya,
mahihirapan na sya kay Djokovic at mukhang kayang kaya na syang basahin nito,...
If he gets past Djokovic this time, mahihirapan rin sya kay Nadal, who loves playing clay...

Yeah no matter what or who he faces in the final, nadal will still win the the crown.
But i want federer to beat djokovich para classic fed-nad final.
Nadal knows the number of Federer,
Federer has nothing new to offer in his game,
I love how he plays though, quite gracefully,
kaya lang kayang kayang i-neutralize ni Nadal yun...
Maybe kung ibabalik ni Federer ang serve and volley game nya over kay Nadal,
then he may stand a chance, pero kung makikipagpukpukan sya sa baseline, naku..
Mauubos ang gasolina nya kay Nadal....
Still would prefer to see Federer take this one...
He still has something to prove,...
;)
Post by: LoneWolf on Jun 08, 2012 at 08:08 AM
- most of his Grandslam victories come from playing not-so-great players (players who knocked out the great players and get through to the Final)
- he has a horrible record against Nadal, and his record with Djokovic just getting uglier
If you just count the Grandslams, he has the most.. but his tag as the 'Greatest of All-time' is very arguable considering that there is one (1) player who he cannot solve in his entire career (Rafa).
For history's sake, I want Federer to win, so that he can win his 2nd French Open title, and widen the cushion of most number of Grandslam titles, as Rafa & Djoko are surely going to chase his record, as they both still have 5-6 years of great tennis ahead of them.. It's a tough wall to overcome though (Djokovic).
Good luck nalang kay Roger. :)

Federer is slowly changing. The coolness and calmness under pressure, the no-emotions-showed demeanor during game time, these can still be seen during Federer's games but he is now showing some emotions. An example would be his recent game against Del Potro. Down 2 sets, he questioned a call by the umpire and the crowd started booing. Federer yelled "Shut up!" at the crowd. He went on to win the match.
Some might say that these showing of emotions are chinks in his armor, but in order to defeat Djokovic and Nadal, Federer needs to be fired-up, pumped-up and aggressive from the start to the end of the game, whether it is a 3 sets, 4 sets or 5 sets game.

And she has mellowed just a bit. The grit and determination are still there but the "tingin erap" or the "maldita look" at the opponent is gone. She simply goes through her routine of composing herself after every point, whether she's serving or receiving.

Bro, did you get HD to see the ball better or to see the women's games better? ;)
Of all the slams, Wimbledon's coverage is more "gentlemanly" than the others. Yet, you may still see glimpses now and then ;)

I'm not surprised that Nadal didn't win Wimbledon, but I am surprised at how early he lost in the Grandslam tourney. :(

on the distaff side, it's serena williams-radwanska. i'd pass up on this one. i really don't like serena specially when she acts like a giggly girly teenager which she is not. she's a bitch. but there is no denying her talent. radwanska on the other hand, is the new type of tennis player who simply tries to return every ball and just waits for an error from the opponent.

World rankings are meaningless if you put any of the Williams sisters in the Wimbledon Finals. Those sisters truly own that turf.
When Serena squeaked past Zheng in the 3rd round and Shvedova in the 4th via 3-set thrillers and Sharapova and Clijsters were upset by Lisicki and Kerber respectively also in the 4th round, it was almost a certain championship for Serena. All she had to do was show up in her remaining matches.

Iba talaga may championship experience. They outlast the challengers most of the time. Do you think if it didn't rain it would not break Murray's momentum?
Quite a match,..! Actually sir, it really could have gone either way,
They were both playing exceptionally well, I like what the analysts say about Murray,
He did played with all his heart, and also a deserving champion, it just so happen na nakasabay lang nya ang mas mabibigat na pangalan,... Hopefully, huwag syang magaya kay Tim Henman, na natapos ang career ng hindi nakuha ang Wimbledon,...

it would be difficult for murray to win any of the grandslams much less wimbledon with the big three, federer, djokovic and nadal, still playing and playing good. he must do a djokovic and up his level of playing. he is almost up there with the big three but must push a little bit more!

The Federer Express is Top Dog once more. Congrats to Roger. :) I'm sure he's going to hold the World #1 ranking more than 1 week, and will surpass Pete Sampras in the all-time records. Here's hoping you win another Wimbledon in the next 2 years, just so you can hold the all-time record as well (he's currently tied with Sampras & Renshaw for most number of Wimbledon Grandslam titles).
Andy, you gotta change your game and step up. You are older than Novak, but Nole already won numerous Grandslams. You're an exciting player, but your time for greatness is running out. :(

He still has a few more fight left in him,..

That's got to be one of the most emotional speeches by the losing opponent I've ever seen; and the British crowd cheering for Andy very very loudly as the match was nearing the end...that must have been a really heavy burden for him.
Loved those Federer drop shots from the baseline.

Based on the draw, Federer and Nadal may meet in the quarterfinals, the winner could possibly face Murray in the semis. Tough draw for the three while Djokovic will have an easier time on the other side of the draw.
Really exciting schedule sa Wimbledon!
Novak's draw may be easier but he will have his hands full if he meets power-servers Berdych & Del Potro. Earlier this year, Berdych beat him in the Italian Open QF while Del Potro beat him in Indian Wells SF.

And that's it for Rafa. He's out in the 1st round after straight sets loss to Darcis. Definitely not the same Rafa who won the French Open a few weeks back. He wasn't moving at all. Those knees are going to end his career early. And it didn't help that Darcis was good. Quick and not scared at all.talo agad? first round? wtf - > bugbog siguro sa mga games...anak ng tokwa

Nadal is also still suffering from the knee injury. He hasn't yet fully recovered from it. He won the French Open for the eight time but not as convincingly as he did the seven other times.

just when we thought that he seemed invincible, reality sinks in. he is human after all.
his loss might not be an injury issue. imo, it may be too much clay court exposure and lack of preparation for the grass tournaments.

the rafa loss is really a shocker.
just when we thought that he seemed invincible, reality sinks in. he is human after all.
his loss might not be an injury issue. imo, it may be too much clay court exposure and lack of preparation for the grass tournaments.
He was limping a little bit during the 3rd set. He might not yet be fully healed physically. But if he has fully recovered physically then it might just be that he hasn't fully recovered mentally. It seemed that he didn't want to risk injury by going all out after balls he usually goes after.
He skipped a pre-Wimbledon grass tournament. And the only reason he might have was to rest his knees. But it cost him preparation for Wimbledon.

Bartoli has been to the finals of a major tournament before kaya confident siya (overconfident pa nga sa yabang).
Kung wala talaga yung jitters ni lisicki she would have won. Too bad at sayang yung run nya beating the top players for nothing.

Ultimately, Novak was outgunned at the baseline and while successful with the drop shot, he lacked the ability to serve and volley and thus change the tempo of the game. Djoko can learn a thing or two from Pete Sampras or that old master - Rod Laver.

I guess the advancement in racket technology has kept the serve and volleyers at the baseline.
I've been using Djokovic racket lately (Head YOUTEK Graphene Speed Pro). Control and feel is superb!
Post by: pekspert on Jul 08, 2013 at 10:30 PM
watched the championship last night. ibang level yung laro ni Andy kaya 3 sets lang tapos kaagad.
I was also surprised to see it end in 3 straight sets. I was expecting a full 5 set marathon.
I don't know what's happening with Djoko but he never settled down the whole game. While Murray certainly approved, he was like Nadal when tracking those drop shots. Most of the drop shots should be winners already but somehow Murray was always catching up to it.
Dyan ako believe kay murray. How he chases those balls whereever they are. Sa iba those are already lost points since they will just give up chasing them but murray will go for them no matter what. Kaya nahirapan maka-point si djoko.

The expectations and hope of a country can be a bane and put pressure on you specially if you are losing but their support and encouragement can really be a boon and give you that extra energy when you are winning. Had Djokovic won the second set, the outcome might have been different.
Post by: Clondalkin on Jul 09, 2013 at 07:52 AM
The men's finals ended in 3 straight sets but it was a very good and long 3-set match. Murray simply got the breaks when it mattered the most for every single set.
I thought the evolution of most top players to baseline style of play is due to the slowed down courts because of the stronger power of the current gen players.
I miss the serve and volleyers. Puro baseliners na ngayon. I love the games of McEnroe, Becker and Navratilova.
Post by: paolorenzo on Jul 09, 2013 at 08:07 AM
It was an ok game. Novak was obviously out of his element, complaining so much, and slipping and sliding all over the court. Feel good win for Andy and the rest of the locals.
My favorite Wimbeldon moment remains to be Goran's win over Pat Rafter, when he was invited as a wildcard. He had nothing in his game except for his monster serve, and it proved to be enough to win it that year.
Post by: Moks007 on Jul 09, 2013 at 08:42 AM
I hated the games of serve and volleyers especially the machine-like Pete Sampras who could get a winner in only like a few seconds. But it was most exciting to watch a baseliner vs a serve and volleyer, especially those tight passing shots along the line.

Oh ya i forgot sampras hehe. Vijay amritraj, the commentator now, was discussing why the serve and volley disappeared. he mentioned the equipment and the balls are heavier now so majority are baseliners. Here is an article pero from 2008 pa ata from bleacher report.
Why is the Serve-and-Volley Game Extinct in Today's Tennis?
That’s the single most haunting question in the world of tennis today. As Federer and Nadal continue to awe the spectators with their fabulous rallies and scintillating baseline game, most of the fans still yearn for the serve-and-volley game to make a re-entry into the sport.
The art of serve-and-volley had been perfected by tennis greats like Jack Kramer, John McEnroe, Pete Sampras, and Martina Navratilova to name a few, but of late this art seems to have lost its sheen.
Serve-and-volley is a style of play in tennis where the player serving moves quickly towards the net after the serve. The server then attempts to hit a volley, as opposed to the baseline style, where the server would stay back following the serve and attempt to hit a groundstroke.
The aim of this strategy is to put immediate pressure on the opponent, so that good returns must be made, or else the server can gain advantage. This tactic is especially useful on fast courts (e.g. grass courts) and less so on slow courts (e.g. clay courts). For it to be successful, the player must either have a good serve or be exceptionally quick in movement around the net.
But, as John McEnroe puts it in his book “You Can’t Be Serious!”, the cause of the decline in the serve-and-volley game are the powerful lightweight composite racquets that everyone uses today.
In the days of wooden racquets, it simply wasn't possible to generate enough power to just crush a forehand past your opponent. To be successful, you had to work the point to create unreturnable angles. It is much easier to create angles at the net, so the serve-and-volley game was more popular.
Now, though angles can still be important, with the introduction of wider graphite racquets, everyone hits the ball so hard that it can be difficult to even approach the net.
When you do get there, passing shots from your opponent are much more difficult to handle. So it doesn't pay to work too hard on serve-and-volley skills, so no one does.
To encourage more artistry through the strategic use of angles, McEnroe advocates a return to wooden racquets in the professional game.
Some experts argue that the game has turned more 'vanilla' in the nature of the surfaces. Even the new laid grass surfaces at Wimbledon is slower and the balls sit up more than they used to, due to changes in the undersurface and the type of grass used there.
Even Boris Becker once said, “I could have never won a single Wimbledon on such ‘slow’ surfaces.”
Another interesting fact about the whole issue is the lack of encouragement of serve-and-volley style by the USTA. The coaches now emphasize more on the baseline play of the junior players, and volleying is taught only in respect to doubles game.
The most interesting take on the decline is blamed on a conspiracy theory involving tennis organizers to encourage longer rallies and attract more spectators!
In support of the claim, supporters quote the introduction of new laws [supposedly] against Pancho Gonzales and Jack Kramer to curb their serve-and-volley game.
The rules include the VASSS introduction in '50s, the three-bounce rule and making the second serve line a yard behind. Though the rules were subsequently dropped, the introduction of graphite racquets, hybrid strings, and slower grass courts have eventually managed to kill the serve-and-volley game.
Others neutral to the issue consider serve-and-volley as a created opportunity, not a total game.
It is only one pattern of many used in the game. Top players still move the serve around and use variety at all sections of the court looking to come in and hit the easy volley to close out the point.
Personally, I believe the serve-and-volley can still be employed in the game, though the players need to put in more effort not only in their movements, but also mentally, in order to anticipate the location of the return and move into position early, and the only way to achieve that is practice. After all, practice makes one perfect.

But Im amazed sa drop shots ni Sampras that seemed to break the ball speed so fast, and McEnroe's elegant volleys. They made it look so easy.
Post by: lithium_deuteride on Jul 09, 2013 at 10:01 PM
By contrast, there were the John McEnroes and the Stefan Edbergs who were pure serve and volleyers and the Ivan Lendls and Bjorn Borgs who were pure baseliners. Bonking Boris (Becker) was more of an all-rounder in the mold of Sampras and Laver albeit inferior to both.
McEnroe and Laver are the best volleyers I have ever seen - their directional control of the ball and the angles they achieved - I've never seen anyone replicate to this day. McEnroe is the best serve and volleyer period while Laver is just plain the best player ever (Sampras 2nd, Federer 3rd) in my book.

Federer vs Sampras using current equipment and slower courts?
Navratilova vs any of the hot girls right now? Hehehe
How can you compare players of different generations, different equipment and different court conditions? I forgot where I read that data (or did I watch it) showing the unbelievable level of spin generated by a Nadal forehand and a Federer forehand. Basta yung pinaka-maraming grandslam ang greatest because they adapted best to their playing environment. Si Jack Nicklaus bale yon. ahihihi.
Federer has a better return-of-serve (equal to Agassi) and a better backhand than Sampras. RF is also more versatile, he would have still won slams even during the time of Borg.

Post by: Clondalkin on Jul 10, 2013 at 03:24 PM
I was a huge Agassi fan but would admit that he won many grandslams by facing not so good players in the finals. Sampras practically wiped them all out when he faced them on grandslam finals. Same as Federer until Nadal came. Same as Borg until McEnroe came.
Therefore, Novak or Nadal could possibly be the best in terms of quality of opponents in the finals.
I'd look at Sampras' and Federer's opponents in their first 14 slams.
Post by: lithium_deuteride on Jul 10, 2013 at 07:19 PM
Navratilova vs any of the hot girls right now? Heheh
Among the girls Graf was tops IMO. She rudely ended the Navratilova-Evert hegemony and raised the bar much higher with her unprecedented athleticism. If Navratilova offered Evert a semblance of rivalry (granted it was a bit one sided in Martina's favor), Graf absolutely destroyed Evert and eventually over powered and outsped the muscular Navratilova, previously the epitome of female (or she-male in this case) athleticism in all of sports.

You have to take into consideration that Evert started playing in the early 70's while Navratilova in the late 70's. They were still dominating the women's scene, both winning 18 slams each during the late 80's with Evert winning her last slam in 1986 and Navratilova in 1990. Both ladies were old compared to the young Graf.
Also Graf had her Seles. Seles dominated Graf and had won 3 out of 4 grand slam finals they had played prior to Seles' stabbing in 1993 in Hamburg by a obsessed Graf fan. At that time Graf had already won 11 slams while Seles had 8. Seles had won 3 of the 4 slams the previous 2 years with Graf winning the 2 others both at Wimbledon. At the rate they were going, Seles was going to overtake Graf in the won-slams race. With Seles' stabbing, Graf then dominated the women's scene winning 11 more slams while Seles won just 1 more,never fully recovering her form prior to the stabbing.
What if Seles never got stabbed? Would it have been Seles with the most number of slams and not Graf?

Graf is my favorite female tennis player of all time. My only gripe is that she never developed a topspin backhand after all those years. Maybe because her slice is so low, she didn't find the need for the latter.
Post by: TOP 20 on Jul 11, 2013 at 08:31 AM
But she was very effective in positioning herself for forehand. Binawi sa bilis ng footwork.
Yup! She'll overplay her backhand side & recover in no time. That's her advantage over Monica that's why I also believe that she would've solved the Seles puzzle in the long run.

Steffi had a rarely-used but good one-handed topspin backhand for passing opponents at the net. On rallies, she preferred to use the low slice since it was such a great defensive stroke (you cannot return a good slice with a drive as the ball will just catch the net) but it did invite players like Navratilova to approach the net, whereby Steffi will respond with the topspin backhand or more likely, her signature inside-out forehand. Steffi was of course known for her forehand - it's her main weapon and at the time, it was a bazooka.
My vote for best backhand ever among women - Justine Henin-Hardenne's. Such a beautiful shot that one.

I agree with this. It's a pity that health issues forced Henin to retire. Though she tried to make a comeback further injuries made her totally quit. She was at the top when she retired. She was, I believe, the only player to have beaten both Williams sisters en route to a grandslam.

I think Roger is on the decline. It's not a fair comparison as Novak is just on the rise. Maybe Rafa had a lot to do with Roger's recent decline. Baka rin sobrang accomplished na si Roger, medyo nawawala na rin yung hunger/drive (although he will not admit to it). He's been doing Wimbeldon for a full decade now.

Nice Australian open semifinal today at 4:30pm. nadal vs federer. Federer is playing good lately, adding some good volleys to his game.
He's going back to basics, that's his original playing style,...
He's trying to shorten the points as much as he can, he cannot fight fire with fire anymore
at his age, the serve and volley game would fit him quite well,...
He's currently playing with a new bigger racquet, from 90sq.in to 98sq.in
and somehow it matches well with his game, his game was analyzed the other day,
last year, he was striking the ball at a height of 36-37", now he is taking the ball much earlier
at 30", that is a huge difference in terms of power.
I sure would love to see him win this one,...
Am also glad to see that the GREATS are back,
most of the great players are back, not as players
but as coaches, Stefan Edberg is with Federer, Boris Becker is with Novak Djokovic,
Michael Chang is coaching Nei Kishikori and Andy Murray is with Ivan Lendl.
The Australian Open also the short return of Patrick Rafter playing doubles with Lleyton hewitt,
too bad they got eliminated early,...

Federer is not really at par with the top dogs na. His game is old and can easily be read. Puro crosscourt at di man lang mag down-the-line straight. I think his grand slam wins at 17 will be final. Swerte kung it reaches pa ng 18.

Pero iba talaga kapag si Nadal na kalaban niya. Federer himself admitted this in his post-match interview: "I don't know how to explain you guys. It's totally different playing Rafa over anybody else. Playing Murray or Rafa is day and night.
It's not because of the level necessarily, but it's just every point is played in a completely different fashion and I have to totally change my game."

Now why is it that every time an opponent really plays well and dominates Nadal, he comes up with an injury? And then when the opponent eases up, Nadal starts playing well again as if he has no injury at all. It has happened before against Djokovich, it is happening again with Wawrinka.
May pa-tear-tear pa sa speech nya :) Nadal played really well against federer, tapos now bigla nagka-injury..hmm
Im glad that wawrinka won, maiba naman. I really think wawrinka currently has the best backhand in tennisland. You dont know which way it will go. He deserves the win.

Hello, tennis fans!
Post by: ABCmotorparts on May 11, 2014 at 08:27 AM
Seen them play here in Indian Wells,
i am a fan of Roger Federer, but after seeing Rafael Nadal's game,
I understand then why Federer is having a real hard time beating him,...
As a player as well, saw the difference in their game, iba ang palo ni Nadal talaga,
In every swing he takes, in every hit he makes with his racquet, BOOM,... As in BOOM talaga,
Its pure power, idagdag mo pa ang accuracy ng placement, he is quite deadly,...
Federer is simply beautiful on court, he dances well, and plays gracefully, but that is not enough to match the power of the Nadal game,...
Good to see that they're visiting the Philippines, that would be great for the tennis community in our country....
Post by: raider125jeigh on May 11, 2014 at 09:39 AM
hays... hopefully he wins the Madrid Finals so he'll have that confident prior to next GS to have his 9th French Open title....
Post by: ABCmotorparts on May 11, 2014 at 12:51 PM
but DAMN, ibang klase ang power nya talaga, I love how he hits the ball, halos mapaputok ang bola sa lakas ng palo,... Am really impressed... I've watched most of the matches in Indian Wells this year, pero wala akong nakitang kasing lakas ng bola ni Rafa, sadly, tumatanda na rin talaga,..
Post by: raider125jeigh on May 11, 2014 at 01:21 PM
Injuries are starting to creep in for him, hindi na rin nakakarecover ang katawan nya ng ganun kabilis,
but DAMN, ibang klase ang power nya talaga, I love how he hits the ball, halos mapaputok ang bola sa lakas ng palo,... Am really impressed... I've watched most of the matches in Indian Wells this year, pero wala akong nakitang kasing lakas ng bola ni Rafa, sadly, tumatanda na rin talaga,..
yup he hits the ball really hard... prone to injury but he recover last year and make it to the top.. wala naman current injury si rafa... nawala lang ung kompyansa nya after matalo kay stanis...
once manalosya sa mutua madrid finals - im positive he can get the french open title 2-3weeks from now.
sana hindi pa lubusang magaling ung wrist injury ni novak.
si novak lang ang may pagasang talunin sya sa clay court sa Grand slam.

They will meet in the semis if Sharapova beats Muguruza (winner over Serena Williams) and if Bouchard prevails over Suarez Navarro in the quarters.

Bouchard will win a grand slam soon, that's for sure.^Agree with this one.
bros what time ba ang live sa fox sport? at night replay na lang kse. thanks
Watched it live last night over at Fox Sport HD. Didn't caught the entire first set but the two and a half hour match ended shortly before 12mn so it probably started around 9:30pm.

The way she's playing.. for sure ito... Ang dami pang madedevelop sa skills nya, only 20 years old..
Next Wimbledon, Sana makakuha sya ng titles pa sa Tour, ano kayang magiging ranking nya ngayon since nakaabot sya sa Semis ng RG..
Post by: deuce on Jun 06, 2014 at 03:28 PM

No. 12. She would have been No. 8 if she had defeated Sharapova.
Post by: deuce on Jun 07, 2014 at 03:12 PM
A lot at stake for both men.
For both: the World No. 1 ranking.
For Nadal: proof that he is still King Of Clay and an answer to the question of whether he can still hope to overtake Federer's 17 slams.
For Djokovic: first French Open title ever and with it, completion of his career grand slam.
Hoping for a great contest worthy of these rivals.

3 Grand Slam na lang habol na ni Nadal si Federer. He just won 3-6, 7-5, 6-2, 6-4 over Djokovic for his 9th French Open title.tabla na sila ni sampras @ 14. great chance si djoko to win kaya lang daming crucial pts na tinapon most of them libre pa, yung last pt nga double fault pa...syang.
re federer(the maestro), father time is catching up. sana makuha nya wimbeldon

Ganun ba talaga Ito si ferderer?didnt know na ganun nga siya until now. Mayabang nga tong si federer. Last night when he was playing the nice guy Raonic, he intentionally tried to hit him with a return ball nung nasa net sila pareho.
I dont like djokovich but ill be rooting for him sa finals. Sana matalo si federer.
And finals na mamaya ng womens. I hope eugenie wins.

Very like Martina Hingis in her fluid, graceful movement around the court, also in taking the ball early, finding the angles and constructing points. Not surprising since she is coached by Hingis' mother and Hingis has been her constant practice partner since childhood.
Bencic also has more power in her serve and groundstrokes than Hingis' powder fuffs. A Bencic-Bouchard semifinal would be something to see, if both make it that far.

So paano pa if Nishikori wins it all today. Uniqlo will probably have a 50% sale for at least a week! ;D

Masaya naman! Weird rules like the Happiness Point and the most-points-in-5 minutes tiebreak, but it was fun. They're also very gracious to the fans, signing almost every giant tennis ball shoved in front of them. And I think they're contractually obligated to stop by a few Premier Suites for autographs and photo ops. Was hoping for Ivanovic or Sharapova, but we got Fabrice Santoro. Malas na lang. Hehe...

yeah rafas game is way off. Malayo from his previous form. I hope he recovers para may challenge naman si djokovich. Federer is really on the way down, hangang quarter or semis na lang. Murray is inconsistent. Wala na iba challenger si djoko.
If Rafa does not regain form, Nole will have an era or domination which was very similar to what Fed had. Roger's closest rival prior to Nadal was Andy Roddick and the sometimes threatening Marat Safin, apart from those two, nobody was in the same area code as Roger's talent. Hopefully some young upstart rises to the occasion to challenge Nole's near perfect form, because obviously this version of Rafa is not enough.
Post by: ruth2art on Jun 05, 2015 at 07:45 PM
Rafa's game has not really decline that much, it is those other players who have stepped up theirs. Roger had reinvented himself to improve his serve and volley. Andy is starting to trim his temper, improve his second serve and endurance to withstand long rallies and multiple sets. Stan now has the most devastating single-handed backhand in the the tour. Rafa has to bring in something new, maybe a stronger first serve or a new coach.

i was able to watch the entire match. i couldn't believe that novak is playing very defensively, instead of looking for winners he seems to be contended with just returning the ball on the court. stan did quite the opposite, he was clearly shooting for the stars and it paid off.
I also noticed this. Parang ingat na ingat sa laro. Malamang pressure from himself to win FO. It was a very good game, especially for stan, many times i cheered and clap from his stunning backhand. I also noticed that stans backhand is more dangerous than his forehand, a very enjoyable to watch. If stan will continue to be consistent and aggressive he will have many GS.

The only problem with a single backhand is its so much harder to control a heavy top spin forehand from an opponent, e.g. Rafa. With the exception of their AO title match, Stan has had a difficult time using his single handed back against Rafa.
The single handed backhand is a dying breed(sayang, its beautiful to watch), aside from Gasquet and Federer I dont know anyone else who excels in it.

It's not really unorthodox, that serve and volley. A lot of players, pre-Federer era, play that way.
Post by: bejiboys on Jul 03, 2015 at 02:28 PM
It's not really unorthodox, that serve and volley. A lot of players, pre-Federer era, play that way.
Yup. I grew up watching McEnroe, Edberg, Becker and even Henman. :)
I guess I was not able to describe it correctly. Was not referring to serve and volley per se as being an unorthodox style, but the way Brown mixes up his high risk winners even of the serve of Nadal with volleys and baseline drop shots. McEnroe was the commentator in the match and he even mentioned there must be some sort of record in terms of the number of drop shots made and 2nd serve average speed in that game. Nadal was not able to second guess Brown's move.
Some more Brown unorthodox-ness during the game: He wouldn't be penalized for delay in serve as I think he averaged ~10 secs. He even serves before the ball boys have assumed their positions outside the court. As you know, Nadal has this ritual of taking his time toweling before serves. Brown also on reception keeps one of the playing balls on his pocket. McEnroe was commenting what is the strategy for as this prevents Nadal from choosing that ball to serve with. Brown even after a missed first serve tries to get and use the same ball for the second serve!!! Baka nasanay sa Jamaica na walang pulot boy. :)
I enjoyed the net battles between the two, with Brown unexpectedly winning most of the the battles with his reflex volleys and feinted ball placement. Larong matanda, but effective.
From the commentary, they mentioned Brown now has a 2-0 head-to-head record vs. Nadal, both wins in grass, the first one being a one sided affair in Germany. Any player got a better record?
Cheers.

Ya no match. It was boring.
Later na ata mens semis. Great matches
Serena's advantage over Sharapova and all other players is her serve. If you take away her first serve, then she becomes like any other player. Gone are the days when she can overwhelm opponents regularly with her ground strokes. But even though the other players have learned how to play against her ground strokes, with some belting out even stronger ground strokes, no one has yet found an answer to her service game.
I actually enjoy watching serena-sharapova matches kasi nawawala sigaw ni sharapova pag si serena kalaban. Nawawala yung confidence at yabang ni maria hehe.
Whenever theres a serena-sharapova match, sure na panalo si serena.
Im looking forward to the muguruza-serena match. Muguruza is playing well. May laban against serena.
Hindi naman mayabang si Maria. Malakas ang confidence pero di mayabang. Si Serena pa siguro ang dapat pagsabihan ng mayabang. Ayon kay Serena, di pa talaga siya tunay na natalo kasi laging may kadahilanan, may injury, kaya siya natalo. ::)

Post by: Clondalkin on Jul 13, 2015 at 09:38 PM
Yesterday's match almost reminded me of how Federer used to outlast Roddick in long rallies. Other than that, I think Roger should win the 1st 2 sets to really have a chance as Novak just seems to get better as the match goes on - he had his chances in the 1st set but nasayang.

Siguro kapag naka labin dalawa ng napanalunan si Djoko saka pag-uusapan iyung sa GOAT. Pero sa edad niya kung ikukumpara sa mga dating pangunahing manlalaro medyo mahirap iyung makalagpas siya ng labin dalawa.

Yup inulan daw. Williams lose to Vinci. All Italian finals sa female
Too bad for Serena, the pressure must have gotten to her. Parang everyone was conceding that she was gonna get this na, and to lose to an unseeded player at that...
Looks like Graf's record is gonna stay unmatched for another year at least. :)

Another year? You don't get grand slam opportunities like this every year. Serena is not getting younger at 33 and this was her biggest chance. Highly unlikely that she'll get another chance.

That's why I said at least. I was gonna write "for a little while longer", but Serena can still surprise us you know. But like others here, I am partial to Graf as GOAT, so I am not exactly rooting for her, but if she does, good for her. 33 yrs is not exactly young in tennis, but she has been at her most dominant during these recent years. :)
Post by: brainwashed on Sep 12, 2015 at 02:16 PM
Just watched the replay via Balls HD. Serena wasn't in her element. It seems that the pressure was on her instead of Vinci. Clearly she was outplayed
Almost everyone, even Sharapova, folds when Serena Williams starts getting the upper hand. Only the two retired Belgian players, Justine Henin and Kim Clijsters, did not. Serena wasn't expecting Vinci to fight for every point. She was sort of expecting Vinci to give in and was obviously visibly exasperated when she lost points she would have won against other opponents.

Serena has lasted this long by playing selectively. She has avoided major injuries by limiting her tournaments, playing only in the more prestigious tournaments and the grand slams. At one point, she had even skipped major tournaments and concentrated on her fashion business. This was when Justine Henin, dominated the ladies division. Only after Henin retired the first time did Serena come back full-time to playing tennis. Serena may win more than Steffi Graf's 22 ladies' singles grand slams but Steffi Graf still has the Golden Slam.
Post by: lithium_deuteride on Sep 12, 2015 at 03:23 PM
I think he was referring to graf's 22 and not the calendar grand slam.
The term "calendar grand slam" is relatively new. I guess it was coined to differentiate a true grand slam - winning all 4 majors in the same calendar year (ala Graf 88) versus owning all 4 majors but not in the same calendar year. The latter is more common - Navratilova, Graf, and Serena's done it.
Before it was just either a Grand Slam or a non-calendar Grand Slam, rare and monumental achievements both.

Gotcha. Was merely pointing out how rare grand slam opportunities are. I also think Steffi is the GOAT.
Serena has no strong rivals so yeah in hindsight, that can give her another opportunity.

If you think about it ang weird ng match na ito kasi federer seems to be winning with all the break points and aces and yet djoko wins nga in 4sets. Too many (should be a record for fed) unforced errors from federer, very uncharacteristic.
Post by: berdilot™ on Sep 14, 2015 at 12:00 PM
Post by: Clondalkin on Sep 14, 2015 at 12:15 PM
And just toooo many unforced errors by Federer too.
The only way for Federer to protect his being the GOAT is to figure out how to beat Djokovic every grand slam championship chance he can get in his remaining competitive years. Djoko just keeps on playing better in slams.
40 grand slams of the last 12 years won by Federer, Nadal and Djokovic only. Amazing era!

Yes i hope so too. He seems like a very nice person. He is very nice to the fans. Sana ma grand slam siya next year. I think australian open sure na. Yun french sana manalo siya, kaya na niya yun wimbledon and us open hehe. I think clay court may be his weakness.

he's a step slow, and his backhand is misfiring, they're saying may problema sa likod si idol,
he won the first 2 rounds in 5 sets (barely),...

Panis talaga sir, para syang si Anna Kournikova,...Yup another poster girl...sabi nga bro " you can't have it all" hahaha
Lalo pa at isa si Bouchard sa gigil na gigil sa pagbabalik ni Sharapova,...

Wozniacki is another player who cannot get over Sharapova's return. She hit the organizer's decision to give Sharapova a wildcard entry and their decision to schedule her play in the Arthur Ashe stadium while she was made to play and lose in court number 5. She says that the WTA's current ranked number 5 player in the world, returning from injury, should have been given more respect and assigned the Ashe stadium schedule instead of giving the play schedule to a player returning from drug use suspension even though that player is, like her a former number 1 player and 5-time grandslam winner.
I hope Sharapova wins the US Open just to silence her critics.

Bouchard's early success has gone to her head. Masyadong believe sa sarili e wala pa namang napapatunayan. She has to win a grandslam first before she can cop an attitude like Serena.A great player can win in any court, maybe they're just threatened by sharapovas comeback

Halep v wozniacki I like them both to win kaya Lang “there’s only 1” sabi nga sa highlander. Patayan ito. Hungry for a grandslam title
Wozniacki wins.
Wozniacki breaks Halep's momentum by calling for a medical timeout after being broken in the third set.
Wozniacki now has the right to complain if she is scheduled to play on outside courts in any Grandslam.

But Chung really had blisters and had to retire. His medical timeout was really needed.
Wozniacki imo just faked the pain she was supposed to be feeling on her knee. She had spent less time on the court compared to Halep. Halep's last game against Kerber went the distance and a little bit more. If anyone had reason to call for a medical timeout it was Halep. Wozniacki had no reason to call a medical timeout except to gather her wits, calm down and break Halep's momentum.
But I still predicted it right, I chose Wozniacki to win. I just didnt like the gamesmanship. She had a winning record over Halep afterall.

The shot clock, trialled at US Open qualifying and the Next Gen ATP Finals, is used in between points to ensure players serve within 25 seconds.

Since never beaten a set here sa Wimbledon I think Federer relax in his heart & mind against Anderson since kanya na naman yung 2 1st sets & leading sa 3rd set & too late to realise na Anderson is breathing around his neck. Malakas talaga si Anderson & seasoned player na rin & ang pinaka malupit eh...Ganda ng asawa
Yes agree lakas nga ni anderson. Yup ganda yun wife niya hehe.
For me ganda din si giorgi. Sayang talo kay serena. I told my wife laki ni serena. Pure beast, paano manalo si sexy giorgi hehe.

Great 2nd round match between Spain's Garbiñe Muguruza and Britain's Johanna Konta! Too bad very few people watched since the match started at 12:30am and finished 3:15am Melbourne time. Even Fox Sports had to cut their broadcast on the 3rd set to give way to prior programming commitment. Muguruza won by the way 6-4, 6-7 (3-7), 7-5. https://www.theage.com.au/sport/tennis/midnight-viewing-fans-battle-fatigue-as-muguruza-wins-the-late-show-20190118-p50s3t.html (https://www.theage.com.au/sport/tennis/midnight-viewing-fans-battle-fatigue-as-muguruza-wins-the-late-show-20190118-p50s3t.html)Sayang Di ko napanood.

Nadal once again wins.
Federer had to deal with a greater disadvantage with the weather condition, being the more finesse-style player and Nadal the power player. This, aside from the usual mental baggage he carries when it comes to Nadal.

Si djoko pa din mananalo. Im hoping someone can stop him.
Djokovic, is one of the big three, actually the youngest among federer, nadal and him. At thirty three, bar any injury, he is young enough to eclipsed the record held now by federer and nadal of 20 grand slam a piece. He's ruling the hard court as federer have ruled on grass and nadal on clay.
However, " there will be changing of the guards" so to speak and it will be a matter of time, just as how samprases', agassi's,mcenroe's and borg's era have passed.

Hmm, why does this always happen to Rafa in Australia, being ahead but losing in five. Vs Djokovic in the 2012 final, Federer in the 2017 final, and now Tsitsipas.Actually based on the stats, this is the first time Nadal lost after being up by 2 sets sa AU open. 50-0 ata siya before.

What I meant was, something always trips him up in the Australian Open, except for that one win in 2009. He was ahead in the fifth vs. Novak and then vs. Roger. Then he got injured in the 2014 final vs. Wawrinka, though he did take a set off Stan.
The prevailing theory is that it's the first big tournament of the year, and he hasn't yet reached the shape he needs to be in. Somehow Rafa needs to have played in many tournaments before he gets in the groove mid-season. In contrast, Djokovic seems to get in the groove earlier.

yup - rooting for medvedev hihihi
Sana ma-counter ni medvedev yun mga on-court antics ni djoko like smashing racquet sa floor, constant talk with the team, self talk, etc with russian mental toughness hehe

Who wins and why?
McEnroe: Djokovic is the favorite, and rightly so, but I think it's Medvedev's time, and he's playing the kind of game that can really disrupt Djokovic. Medvedev is the closest player we have to Djokovic in the way he can defensively manipulate his opponent and change the pace. It might get into Djokovic's head. I'm not sure if it will signal the changing of the guard, but I'll take Medvedev in four really tight sets.
Gilbert: Both guys will be well-rested after routine semifinal wins, and I'm hoping that we get a five-set classic. But I've got to go with Djokovic in four sets, just based upon the fact he's 8-0 in Australian Open finals and knows how to handle the occasion.
Cahill: This is going to be like the "Queen's Gambit" match; a chess game between two really smart tennis players. I'm anticipating it being incredibly physical, and that's going to favor Novak. Even if it's a set all after an hour and 45 minutes to two hours, the advantage will go to Novak after that. I'm taking Novak in four sets.

dapat talaga i-ban si djoko, unfair for those vaccinated players
wag naman, hinde naman nangangahulugan na carrier sya ng virus komo hinde sya bakunado. at kung tamaan 'man sila ng covid sya naman ang mas kawawa. sigurado naman i-rt-pcr test sila lagi, kahit nga 2x a day kaya naman nya bumayad. so pag nag positive sya at saka dun sya pwedeng di palaruin.
at saka malay natin baka umiinom ng anti-viral drug yan - wag lang masabing na vaccine sya 😊

sends the wrong message if i-allow siya, kaya galit ang mga Australians, dahil strict sa kanila sa lockdown tapos itong anti-vaxxer papayagan just because sikat siya?
likely madeport na siya with the new info that's coming out. lied in immigration form and went out for interview after he found out na positive pala siya

I am mystified thst people are so angry about Serbian tennis player Novac Djokovic being an anti-vaxer and his current visa troubles with the Australian government. I know that it is his personal choice ✌️
But his parents must have known something way back then as they named him …
“No Vac” 😜😜😜
Now…. that’s a Djok 😂
Serb him right ! 🤣
And all becos of kovic 🦠 !!

Now that the Aussies established precedence, the French and the English will likely follow similar procedures. The Biden administration, besieged by the far-right on its vaccine mandates, will probably want to make an example of Djokovic as well.
