Soderling suffering with fever


(UKPA) – 1 hour ago
World number six Robin Soderling has revealed he is suffering from glandular fever.
The 27-year-old Swede pulled out of the US Open before his first match because of illness having also struggled during the US hard-court season with a combination of a wrist injury and what he believed to be a throat infection.
Soderling said on Twitter: "It's been a difficult period but I am getting better. Doctors confirmed that I have had mono (glandular fever) for quite some time and this truly explains my lack of energy but my health is improving and I hope to be back on the court as soon as possible."
Soderling oboleo od mononukleoze....

[bojanaBG]

Nadal je izgubio od Ferera na USO, mozda i od Juznog ali to uopste nisam sigurna, moguce da sam pomesala.
I zavisi od koje godine gledas, Fed je gubio od Guge na RG-u, od Nalbandiana na USO, od Ancica na W,...

Wozniacki: Ja sam broj 1, briga me što drugi misle

Teniski hroničari i stručnjaci često nabijaju na nos 21-godišnjoj Dankinji da je ona samo prva, ali ne i najbolja teniserka svijeta. Ne može biti najbolja kada nema niti jednu Grand Slam titulu.

Nakon pobjede nad Njemicom Andreom Petkovic 6-1, 7-6(5), Wozniacki je još jednom, po ko zna koji put, morala progovoriti o toj temi.

"Iskreno govoreći, baš me briga. Stvarno me baš briga što drugi misle i govore. Mene zanima samo ono što najbolje znam raditi, igrati tenis. Zanima me samo da svaki puta kada izađem na teren pružim 100 posto svojih mogućnosti", rekla je Wozniacki, koja je svoj jedini Grand Slam finale u karijeri odigrala baš na US Openu, 2009. godine. Izgubila je od Belgijanke Kim Clijsters.

Za razliku od nje, Amerikanka Serena Williams, njezin uzor i sljedeća protivnica na turniru u polufinalu, na kontu ima tri naslova na US Openu i ukupno 13 na Grand Slam turnirima u pojedinačnoj konkurenciji.

"Radujem se meču sa Serenom. Velika je sportistkinja i sjajna cura. Pokušat ću iskoristiti svoje šanse. Ja sam teniserka koja nikada ne odustaje i uvijek se bori do zadnjeg poena. No, Serenina velika snaga je također u njezinom izrazito naglašenom borbenom duhu. Doista je iznimno cijenim kao teniserku, ali i kao osobu", zaključila je svoje hvalospjeve na račun suparnice Wozniacki.

Sto se tice Federerovog povlacenja to se sigurno nece desiti pre zavrsetka OI u Londonu gde ce sigurno zeleti zlato koje mu nedostaje(u singlu)Roger je svakako potreban svetskom tenisu jer bi nastala velika "rupa"kad bi sad resio da ostavi tenis,na srecu to se jos nekoliko godina nece desiti(bar prema njegovim izjavama) i dobro je da je tako bar dok se ne pojave neki novi klinci koji mogu popuniti tu rupu koja ce sigurno nastati njegovim odlaskom,po mom skromnom misljenju jos uvek igra odlican tenis i zasto bi ga neko terao da se penzionise tim cinom tenis nemoze da profitira vec samo da izgubi,evo vec neki forumasi najavili prestanak gledanja tenisa po Rogerovom povlacenju;)

Jedna mala prica o prvom US Openu u Open eri, posto je u SAD-u i dalje 9. septembar

Na danasnji dan pre 43 godine, porucnik Artur Es osvojio je prvi US Open u Open eri.. bio je to najveci uspeh tamnoputih tenisera u belom sportu a desio se samo 5 meseci nakon ubistva Martina Lutera Kinga, cime je ovaj uspeh jos znacajniji. Samo par nedelja ranije, Es je slavio i na amaterskom turniru SAD-a, u Longvudu u Masacusetsu. No, da se vratimo ovom vaznijem

Kao i na Rolan Garosu i Vimbldonu, turnir je po prvi put okupio najbolje sto je tenis imao da pruzi.. i amateri se opet nisu obrukali pred profesionalcima. Treba reci da je zreb bio namesten tako da se Pro igraci ne sastanu pre 4. runde. To nam govori koliko je situacija u osvit modernog tenisa i dalje bila komplikovana, a jos dugo ce ostati takva. Zreb je zaista bio veoma jak a dvadesetorica medju njima su bili vlasnici 52. titule na Vimbldonu ili US Openu.. finalisti iz 1967. ove su morali da se sastanu u 1/4, sto je jos jedan pokazatelj koliko je tenis bio kvalitetniji kada se spoje amaterski i Pro tur

Ispred Esa u zrebu su bili postavljeni veliki Pro igraci Australije, Lejver, Rouc, Rozvel i Njukomb ali niko od njih nije stigao do finala (Lejver i Rouc nisu usli ni u 1/4).. amateri su pobedili profesionalce u 13 meceva, cime je nastavljen trend koji su zapoceli na Vimbldonu (o tome sam vec pisao). U finalu smo tako imali Esa i Okera, Holandjanina koji je bio registrovani igrac, sto je znacilo da iako je amater, moze osvajati novac na nekim turnirima.. iako je izgubio ovo finale odneo je nagradu od 14000$ a amateru Esu pripalo je manje od 300 $ (davali su mu izmedju 15 i 20 za svaki dan proveden na turniru). Jednu olaksicu mu je predstavlja cinjenica da kao Davic Cup igrac ima obezbedjenu hotelsku sobu od strane USTA. Obojica su do finala izbacili po 3 Pro igraca. Rozvel je bio jedini Pro igrac u 1/2. Treba reci da Pro igracima uslovi bas i nisu odgovarali (navikli na iskljucivo dvoranske meceve), kao ni teske Slazenger loptice

Finale je na zalost gledalo samo nekih 7000 ljudi (stadion primao 13000) a delimican razlog je jednodnevno odlaganje zbog kise, koja je u petak onemogucila igru na ionako losoj i istrosenoj travi Forest Hilsa. Tokom turnira je kroz kapije proslo skoro 100000 ljudi i zaradjeno je nekih 400000 $


Nakon dominacije Australijanaca i titula koje su osvojili uljezi iz Meksika i Spanije, Amerikanac je osvojio domaci Mejdzor po prvi put nakon 1955 kada je to ucinio Trabert. A krenulo je zestoko, prvim setom koji je Es uzeo sa 14-12. I pored velikog broja gemova, trajao je samo 63 ili 64 minuta, sto dovoljno govori o brzini kojom se igralo. Artur je odservirao cak 15 as udaraca u prvom setu a do kraja meca odservirace samo 11, za ukupnih 26. Oker se vratio u drugom uzevsi ga sa 7-5, treci odlazi Esu 6-3 ali Holandjanin uzvraca istom merom u cetvrtom. U petom je Es napravio brejk vec u drugom gemu i trebao je samo cuvati svoje servise do kraja. U sedmom gemu, na 4-2, Oker je imao priliku da se vrati ali nije uspeo, Es je bez izgubljenog poena uzeo deveti gem i veliko slavlje moglo je da pocne. Bila je to njegova 25. vezana pobeda tog leta i svakako jedna od najvaznijih u njegovoj karijeri, ali i generalno za najvecu tenisku naciju. Mec je trajao dva sata i 40 minuta a Artur je postao jedini amater koji je osvojio neko od 6 najvecih nacionalnih sampionata.. Lejver je uzeo Vimbldon, Rozvel Rolan Garos, Njukomb prvenstvo Nemacke, Drisdejl prvenstvo Svajcarske,a Oker, ''registrovani'' igrac, sampionat Irske

Tih dana Artur je prosao pravu golgotu u dublu, a zajedno sa finalom u sinlgu odigrao je 199 gemova za tri dana. Dan pre muskog finala igrao je 1/2 dublova (srecom, u 1/4 su on i njegov partner imali W/O) protiv Grebnera i Pasarela i zbog mraka je prekinut pri rezultatu 6-4 3-6 4-6 4-4. To je dakle bilo 8. septembra a 9., nakon osvajanja titule u singlu, mec je nastavljen i odigrali su 16 gemova.. rezultat je bio 6-4 3-6 4-6 12-12. U ponedeljak 10. mec je konacno bio okoncan, pobedom Esa i Himena 6-4 3-6 4-6 20-18 15-13. Tog dana igrano je i finale a Esu nije ostalo mnogo u tanku, porazeni su od Luca i Stena Smita 11-9 6-1 7-5

Jako je zanimljivo da bi u slucaju poraza SAD-a u Davis Cupu koji je ranije igran, Es bio primoran da se vrati na Vest Point akademiju, gde je bio instruktor kompjuterskog programiranja. Posto se cekao protivnik u interzoni Davis Cupa (Zapadna Nemacka, Indija ili Japan u novembru), Esovo ucesce na otvorenom sampionatu smatralo se pripremom za taj predstojeci mec za salataru

Turnir je obelezen i pojavom mnogih legendi belog sporta.. tako je najveci od njih u to vreme, Panco Gonzalez, igrao sjajno na turniru koji je osvojio tacno 20 godina ranije. Bio je 13. nosilac i zaustavio ga je Oker u 1/4 rezultatom 14-16 6-3 10-8 6-3. Rouca je izbacio u prethodnoj rundi ali je i sam rekao da je to verovatno sve, u cetrdesetogodisnjaku vise nije bilo snage. Tih dana je jos uvek igrao sjajno, 20. jula u finalu Los Andjelesa pobedio je jos jednu velicinu, Roda Lejvera. U duelu seniora u dublu publika je mogla da vidi Dona Badza i Frenka Parkera protiv Bobija Rigsa i Panca Segure, dok ih je gledao Dzek Krejmer. Vik Seiksas i Toni Trabert igrali su zajedno posle 13 godina i protracili dve mec lopte protiv Okera i Raisena, koji ce kasnije uci u 1/4

An Efficient Move Is No Longer Saved for Clay

In the fourth set of his United States Open quarterfinal, Novak Djokovic sprinted forward. His opponent, Janko Tipsarevic, had placed a drop shot low, short, wide and across the court.
As he neared the ball, Djokovic seemed impossibly far away. Not that it mattered. If Djokovic sometimes seems like a superhero, his super power is his slide. He launched one there against Tipsarevic, feet skidding, right foot first, worn shoes squeaking across the concrete court. In one motion, still sliding, Djokovic flicked the ball the other way for a winner that even Tipsarevic applauded.

For Djokovic and other players engaged in this emerging trend, especially on hardcourts, the slide is not electric, like the song. But sometimes it does seem that way.

“It’s not something that I really was planning to learn how to do,” Djokovic said earlier in the tournament. “I don’t think there’s any coach that is going to tell you logically that it’s right to slide on cement. It’s just not good for your body.”

On Saturday, Djokovic meets Roger Federer in the semifinals, where his flurry of intense movement will contrast with Federer’s artistic grace. After Tipsarevic retired against Djokovic, down 2 sets to 1 on Thursday, Djokovic said he needed to be more aggressive, to control points and move closer to the baseline.

In other words, more slides can be expected.

As Djokovic compiled this potentially historic season, with 62 victories in 64 matches, with two Grand Slam championships and nine tournament titles, movement provided the cornerstone of his success. This, the Tennis Channel analyst Justin Gimelstob said, included balance, core strength and flexibility, all of which allow Djokovic to effectively shrink the court.

By arriving to balls earlier and sending shots back sooner, Djokovic makes opponents feel rushed, squeezed and out of rhythm. One of his best shots, according to Gimelstob, is “off his left leg on the backhand, on the slide, pivoting, which shows his balance, his strength, being able to turn defense into offense on that backhand side.”

Or, as the ESPN analyst Darren Cahill put it: “When you play Djokovic, you feel like you’ve had the wind taken out of your sails. You can’t feel your legs anymore because you’ve run so much. You’re struggling to breathe.

“It’s his brand of hardcourt tennis. Suffocating.”

If movement is the cornerstone of Djokovic’s rise to No. 1, the slide is one key element of his movement, allowing him to cover more ground. His coach, Marian Vajda, said the slide began with balance, particularly between Djokovic’s hips and chest. He also prefers shoes already worn in, the tread faded, allowing him to seemingly trump physics.

There is, too, Vajda said, a mental aspect to skidding across concrete. Such acrobatics must be performed without fear. Djokovic, for instance, often slides to reverse direction, which is faster than stopping and turning the other way, but much worse on his ligaments, knees and joints.

Yet Vajda did not teach Djokovic to slide. No one did, in fact, and Vajda said he must often reprimand Djokovic for sliding during practice, moves that make his coach cringe with fear.

“Ah, no, no, no, I didn’t teach him,” Vajda said, scoffing. “I got him like this already. All the Serbs, they slide. I’ve never seen it in all my life. Maybe on clay, but not on hardcourts.”

Players have slid on the clay for generations, leaving streaks, like random paintbrush strokes, across the court.

Hardcourts proved a different story. Coaches taught more standard movement: quick, short, lateral steps, stop, plant, push off in the opposite direction.

So what changed? The athleticism of the players, for one. In her third-round match, Serena Williams slid into a split, hit a shot and did not even grimace. Gaël Monfils, the Frenchman, seems to slide more than he runs. So, too, do Jelena Jankovic, also Serbian, and Kim Clijsters from Belgium, who more than anyone popularized the defensive slide.

Some players are convinced that sliding helps them arrive at the ball a split-second earlier than otherwise. Others point to technological advancements, in racket size and string material, that allow them to hit off balance, on the move, even without feet planted. Several players also wear shoes designed for clay courts on concrete.

Vajda believes more slide specialists are coming. When he watches juniors play at tournaments, he sees them imitate their favorite players. They want to slide like Djokovic, want to slide like Clijsters. The trend figures to continue.

“We’d always scratch our heads when Clijsters did it,” the ESPN analyst Patrick McEnroe said. “Like, how does she do that on a hardcourt? Now, half the players are doing it, especially on the men’s side. But this is a trend the women started. Now the men are catching up.”

As general manager of player development for the United States Tennis Association, McEnroe also said he would not advise against this tactic. As with anything else, he said, “if you’re prepared for it, and you’re flexible enough, and you can do it, why not?”

But McEnroe did not slide during his playing days, much as he might have liked. His reasoning: He would have pulled too many muscles.
