Opste teniske diskusije,vijesti...

[talicni]

ne... samo sam potencirao koliko je arogantan. posebno prema noletu... imaju intervjui sa njim po netu. cini mi se da ga je kurijer jednom pitao koliko trenira kada igra na takvom nivou i da se on ubijao od treninga pa nije mogao tako da igra... a ovaj mrtav ladan kao, ma ne treniram ja uopste, tako, kad mi se cefne malo se poigram, dodjem odigram i to je to...

ako kaze da se ne priprema posebno za nekoga kome gleda u ledja evo vec 5 godina i ko ga je samo ove godine zaustavio u 3 najveca i jos 2 masters finala onda jednostavno laze. nole uvjek kaze da se za SVAKOG protivnika priprema sa timom i da gleda da odradi sve takticke zamisli. rafa se ne stidi reci isto. jedino eto fed se ni za koga nikada posebno ne priprema.. osim eto za rafu (da bar malo smanji ribu). i onda samo mjesec nakon te izjave jos uzima za trenera nekog iz istog govornog podrucja i mentaliteta... ma da... omaklo mu se.

(i da... usput je morao i da provuce kako je u mecevima sa noletom ipak sve na njegovom reketu i da mu nikakve posebne pripreme ne trebaju, a tamo mu smislja psiholoske igrice sa stolicom, nekim izjavama, mlati prsticem, vice na box, sada eto mjenja slucajno trenera pa bas ljuba... ma da kako da ne, uopste ne razmislja o noletu)

[prskaj]

Ne vidim sta je problem. Pa hvala bogu da je Roger angazovao Ljubu kako bi pobedio Novaka. To mozemo da kazemo za svakog tenisera. Pa covek je odigrao finale na svakom turniru, mislim da je covek bukvalno dokazao da ako hoces veliku titulu moras da pobedis njega, ali bukvalno.
Isto tako nesto ne verujem da Roger ili bilo ko drzi sliku sa Novakovim likom i gadja je strelicama za pikado. Jednostavno znaju da moraju da postanu bolji jer je Novak podigao lestvicu.

Sto se tice Rogera, Rafe i Novaka, Rogeru je uvek Novak bio mrzak, a Nadala je morao da "prizna". Velika je mrlja bila u duelima RF i NDj sto su imali samo jedno GS finale, to je i meni bas smetalo, nervirali su me zrebovi, sada se to fino popravilo, a ako se ovako nastavi, a nastavice se, nesumnjivo ce Novak biti ucesnik oba najveca (znam koliko glupo zvuci ) rivalstva. Nece biti osobe na planeti koja ce to moci da porekne, jednostavno nece imati argument, covek ima 90 odigranih meceva sa njima, pozdrav dovidjenja.

Isto tako ne vidim sta je sporno u tome sto je Rodzer morao da se sprema za Rafu a ne za Novaka, svi vrlo dobro znamo da mu je Nadal najgori moguci match up, a sa druge strane vidimo cak i u ovim godinama da Rodzer jedini ima resenje za Novaka. Samo sto kao sto i sam kaze, mora da odigra na svom vrhuncu, a za meceve na 3 dobijena seta mora da odigra bez pada koncentracije.

[Sandugp]

Za Rafu se pripremao posebno u ranijim fazama njihovih karijera, sada mu nije ni potrebno
Dok za Novaka nece ni priznati (pisao sam ti malopre zbog cega), ali on tom svojom izjavom ne nipodastava Novaka ni malo. Cak stavise mislim da ga nisi bas najbolje razumeo. Jer Rafael je levoruki teniser koji igra sa premnogo spina i forsira mu bh maksimalno (na stranu sto je mentalna gromada i jak i izdrzljiv kao konj) i na takvu igru je on morao necim odgovoriti, tj morao je nesto izmeniti u odnosu na svoju uobicajenu igru da bi bio iole uspesan protiv njega (pa cak precesto ni to nije bilo dovoljno).
Protiv Novaka on moze da igra svoju standardnu igru (ne mora nista drasticno manje ili vise da menja u svom pristupu) i u koliko servira odlicno i ako ga krene fh (bh problem je "resio" vecom glavom reketa ali i tu mu treba konstantnost ako nista vise, mada treba i vise ali on to sada i postize - pogledaj mu bh ove godine, prijatno ces se iznenaditi) a uz to Novak nije na nivou ima vrlo dobre sanse za pobedu. Nadal bi ga ranije znao "odrati" i kada ne igra maksimalno a Federer igra svoju standradnu igru. Novak ne, Novak mora da bude psihicki prevashodano pa i igracki blizu svog maksimuma da bi dobio Rodzera.
U tome je samo glavna razlika izmedju njih dvojice kada igraju protiv Svajcarca, ali to uopste ne znaci (ponavljam) da je Rafael "posebniji" ili "superiorniji" uprosteno bolji od Novaka.

[shminka]

Normalno je da je Rafa jedinstveniji. Za pripremu meča sa Rafom igračima treba ljevoruki teniser za sparing. Za pripremu meča sa recimo Isnerom je potreban ili Raonić ili neka platforma sa koje će neki niži igrač servirati. Za Novaka se može pripremati i sa Edbergom

[draza]

Mora Nole u buduce da pripazi sa kojim ce komsijama da pije kafu....

[bojanaBG]

Delpo ipak nece igrati AO.

I sad je i definitivno, Martina i Role igraju OI

Novak Djokovic named player of year after dominant run

In a sport that continues to redefine itself and its historical measuring stick, 2015 will long be remembered as a standout season during which two players dominated the headlines and their foes alike, while coming within a combined three matches of a double calendar Grand Slam.

Chosen by a Tennis Channel and USA TODAY Sports panel, Novak Djokovic has been selected as the 2015 Player of the Year, while Serena Williams’ shocking defeat at the hands of Roberta Vinci in the semifinals of the U.S. Open is the Match of the Year.

While it was Williams whose Grand Slam hope was still alive in New York, Djokovic ended up closer to the rare feat, having lost in the final of the French Open while winning major titles at the Australian Open, Wimbledon and the U.S. Open. His 82-6 match record also included 11 tournament wins overall, more than $21 million in prize money and an assuring stamp as world No. 1.

“For Novak, it was wire to wire brilliance, with titles on all surfaces at the highest levels,” said Tracy Austin, the Tennis Channel commentator who was part of the voting panel.

“Although he lost in Paris, Novak ended up being one match short of his own Grand Slam,” added Jim Courier, another Tennis Channel commentator.

Djokovic’s dominance is illustrated by the point gap between him and world No. 2 Andy Murray, a 16,585 to 8,945 spread for the 28-year-old Serbian who has shown no signs of slowing down.

“The entire year has been ultimately the best year of my life,” Djokovic said, adding that his wins over Federer in the Wimbledon and U.S. Open finals was where he displayed his best tennis of the year. “I won three out of four Grand Slams and six Masters 1000 titles. It made this year even better than the 2011 one.”

Williams was the story of the year in many ways, going on a 26-match win streak in the majors and marching towards a calendar Grand Slam, not done in men’s or women’s tennis since Steffi Graf in 1988.

Vinci, an Italian journeywoman ranked No. 43 in the world, played the role of spoiler, upsetting Williams with a 2-6, 6-4, 6-4 victory inside Arthur Ashe Stadium at the U.S. Open.

“This match will go down as one of the great upsets in tennis history,” Courier said. “Serena was just two matches shy of a Grand Slam and she loses to a player who had never taken a set from her and was ranked outside the top 40.”

It was monumental not only in effort, but in the history stacked against Vinci. With world No. 2 Simona Halep out of the tournament, many had penciled in Williams as the U.S. Open winner against Flavia Pennetta in a sold-out women’s final.

But it wasn’t to be.

“Vinci played a very intelligent match tactically and executed on such a grand stage versus the queen of tennis with an enormous amount of history on the line,” Austin said.

Some called the match the biggest upset in tennis history.

Yet the collective history created by Williams, 34, and Djokovic throughout the season is what made 2015 so memorable. Williams’ success brought tennis back into the mainstream for much of the American public, while Djokovic’s run boosted him to 10 majors won in his career and vaults him into the conversation of “Greatest Ever.”

“I’m very grateful to still be playing at this level,” Djokovic said. “I have been very consistent on tour [since 2011], but this year definitely stands out. I owe it to my team: Day in and day out, you have some moments when you have nothing that goes your way, but they kept believing me. They put their expertise, their energy and their knowledge in me being the best that I can be. It was a phenomenal season.”

While they both collected three Grand Slam trophies, Williams ended her season early, her last match of 2015 being the loss against Vinci. Djokovic, on the other hand, would finish the year 19-1, ending with a record-setting fourth consecutive ATP World Tour Finals title.

So, who can top that in 2016, tennis?

No Athlete Had a Better 2015 Than Novak Djokovic

Next week, Sports Illustrated will announce its 2015 Sportsman of the Year. The magazine’s editors cannot have had an easy time choosing a winner. When was there last a year like this? There was Steph Curry, leading the Golden State Warriors to the N.B.A. championship with his dizzying crossovers and quick-release threes, and carrying himself with that Bay-vibe relaxed exuberance of his: the most winning of winners. How about the emergence of Jordan Spieth? At twenty-two, he ended the year as the world’s No. 1 golfer, having won two majors, including the Masters (where he finished a record-tying 18-under), and, along the way, treated us to numerous, intimately coaxing conversations with his just-struck golf balls. Lydia Ko did some incredible golfing this year, too: she became the world’s youngest women’s world No. 1 in February, at seventeen. Ronda Rousey, meanwhile, was named Best Female Athlete Ever in an ESPN poll in May, and was undefeated until, last month, she was kicked in the head and knocked unconscious, a perfectly legal thing to do in her sport of choice, ultimate fighting. And the editors at SI must have given due consideration to American Pharoah, though the acceptance speech would present challenges.

But no athlete had the year Novak Djokovic had. No athlete was as consistently superb, January through November. No athlete was as complete in all the aspects of his or her game and, as Christopher Clarey of the Times suggested recently, the best on all surfaces: indoors and out, hardcourt, clay, and grass. No athlete, week in and week out, faced the level of competition he did: men’s professional tennis, as gets said at the start of every big televised match—because it’s true—is in a golden age, and winning, for Djokovic, meant little bottom-feeding after the first or second rounds of a tournament, and involved many semis and finals against players who number (or will) among the best to ever play the game. No athlete had the historic year Djokovic did: one of the very best in the Open era of men’s tennis—and, when put in context, the best, or so I’d argue.

Djokovic won eighty-two matches in 2015 and lost only six. His winning percentage was ninety-three per cent. He became only the third man in the Open era, which began in 1968, to reach the final of each Grand Slam. He won twelve tournaments in all, including a record six Masters 1000 titles—these are the tournaments just below the Slams in terms of prestige—and reached the final of each of the Masters tourneys he played. In fact, he reached the final in every event he played save the one he entered to begin the year, a tune-up in Doha for the Australian Open. He finished the year No. 1 in the rankings of the Association of Tennis Professionals, which oversees the men’s circuit—his third year in a row at the top—and his total of 16,585 A.T.P. ranking points is the most ever accumulated, and more than the No. 2 and No. 3 players (Andy Murray and Roger Federer, respectively) combined. For what it’s worth—quite a bit—he also won more than twenty-one million dollars in prize money, the largest annual haul in history.

Was it the greatest year ever in men’s tennis? Let’s repair to the parlor and play the game. John McEnroe had an incredible year in 1984, losing only three times and winning ninety-six per cent of his matches. But he avoided clay, his weakest surface, playing only two matches on the dirt and losing the French Open, devastatingly, after going up two sets against his arch-rival, Ivan Lendl. Jimmy Connors went 99-4 in 1974, but was barred from playing the French Open because of his involvement with World Team Tennis. Roger Federer reached all four Grand Slam finals in 2006, won twelve titles overall, and lost only five matches. Four of those losses were on clay to Rafael Nadal (the other was in Cincinnati to eighteen-year-old Andy Murray). A remarkable season, and most observers consider it the second-greatest in the modern history of the men’s game—second only to Rod Laver’s accomplishing the Grand Slam in 1969, something that no other Open-era men’s player has done.

But neither Federer nine years ago nor Laver at the beginning of the Open era faced the competition or had to play the kind of grueling tennis Djokovic did to accomplish what he did this year. Of the Top Ten players in 2006 that Federer faced, only two had Grand Slam wins: Nadal, who dominated him, and Andy Roddick, who had won one Slam. Others who finished in the Top Ten that year included Ivan Ljubičić, Fernando González, and Mario Ančić (remember him?). The Golden Age had yet to arrive. And while Federer had some year, he accumulated only about half the A.T.P. point total Djokovic just amassed. To say that Laver also had an easier time of it in 1969 is, of course, to get more speculative. True, Laver played doubles as well as singles back then, and, because the tiebreak to settle a set tied at 6–6 was not yet part of most tournaments, he occasionally found himself grinding out sets 12–10 or 22–20. But men’s tennis then was serve and volley, with points usually over in three or four shots, if that. The game was not as physical and fast—as athletic—as today’s game. And the draws were not talent-deep: tennis was dominated by the Australians and the Americans and was not yet a truly global sport. This year, against much tougher competition, Djokovic—the son of a Serbian pizza-parlor owner—went 30–5 against Top Ten players, including 6–1 against the world No. 2 (Murray), and ended the season in London at the A.T.P. World Finals by beating Nadal in the semis and Federer in the finals, each in straight sets—something no player had ever done.

Only three tennis players have ever won SI’s year-end award: Billie Jean King, in 1972, Chris Evert, in 1976, and Arthur Ashe, in 1992. All of these awards had less to do with what the player had done that year, and more with a sense of what each had accomplished in his or her career—in Ashe’s case, with his work, in retirement, promoting AIDS awareness. So maybe this isn’t Djokovic’s year, but Serena Williams’s chance for a lifetime-achievement award. It would be hard to argue against: she is the best women’s tennis player of all time. And with three Grand Slam victories and a No. 1 ranking, she had an extraordinary year. Or three-quarters of a year, rather—she played no tennis after her stunning loss in the semifinals at the U.S. Open and skipped the W.T.A. finals in Singapore. (Her coach, Patrick Mouratoglou, mused that Serena might have lacked “motivation” after failing to achieve the Grand Slam.) But by almost any measure, the best year in tennis was had by Novak Djokovic. The best year in sports, too.

Kakvo je ovo doba sporta, Kari, Bolt, Hamilton, Mesi, ali ipak jedan sportista je bez konkurencije.

[bojanaBG]

Sto znaci da jos jedan treba da odustane i Krajinovic upada u glavni zreb

[bojanaBG]

Serena je sportista godine po izobru SI

[Vladan]

Njena sezona je smijesna prema Novakovoj, ali Ameri daju Amerima, tako nas istorija nagrade uci.

[bojanaBG]

Pa nije bas smesna, ona je osvojila isto 3 slema kao i on i jos je bila u prilici da osvoji sva 4, dakle igrala je pod ogromnim pritiskom.

[Vladan]

Ali na kraju kad povuces crtu to sto je Novak osvojio, a sto ona su dva svijeta.

[bojanaBG]

Slazem se da je Djokovic imao uspesniju sezonu, ali ne mozes reci da je ona imala smesnu sa 3 osvojena slema i ubedljivim prvim mestom.
A Roger nikad nije osvojio tu nagradu, u svojim najboljim godinama, uvek je neki Amerikanac bio uspesniji, tako da je po meni ta nagrada nebitna.
