Mislim da je ovaj tiebreak Safina i Federera po broju odigranih poena drugi najduži u Open eri.

Tako što sebe nikad nije natjerao da radi jače, kao i svi veliki talenti, igrao je onako, za svoju dušu i čejf što bi se reklo. Youtube je pun njegovih lucidnih poteza, kad je bio u svom najboljem izdanju, šprdao se sa svakim. Govorio sam o Nicku Bolliteriju, čovjeku koji je trenirao Agassija i Riosa. Andre je veliki talenat, osvojio je 8 GS-ova, a svi se slažemo da je mogao mnogo više, međutim i sam Nick kaže da Rios u svom 'God' modu može pobijediti svakoga, uključujući i Andrea.

Evo šta drugi kažu o njemu.

Pat Cash: Rios is “one of the most talented players I’ve ever seen. I thought he had a control like a McEnroe. He was brilliant. He hit the ball anywhere. Anywhere.”

Michael Joyce: “I played with Sampras and Agassi two or three times each but I always tell people that Marcelo Rios was the best tennis player that I ever played. He was tougher than Agassi to play. The things he could do on the court were amazing…”

Nick Bolltieri:”I believe that Marcelo had as much talent – feet, movement, anticipation, hands, his eyes – of any player that’s played the game. He wasn’t afraid to work. Marcelo Rios was probably the player that disappointed me the most. Because he never lived up to his expectations both as role model for the game and to really fulfill the talent that he had as a player."

Thomas Johanson: "All the guys have different humors, outside of the court," “A player that I really liked to watch was Rios. I think he was one of the best players, ever. Because I remember one year when he was gonna play Thomas Muster in Rome. And I saw the press conference before the match. And they asked him, so how are you gonna be able to beat Muster, because he only had lost one or two matches on clay so far. And Rios said, ‘The guy should be happy if he gets like a couple of games.’ And Rios went out there the next day and killed him, 1 and 2. And that’s for me unbelievable. I really liked to watch him. I didn’t like to play him though. But I really liked to watch him.” He could make you feel like it was the first time you were standing on a tennis court, you know [smiling]? So I hated to play him. You could get killed by him easily, 1 and 1 or something like that, and you could have played a good match.”

Hernan Gumy: "The greatness of his game, I didn’t see anybody who play like him in the past 10 years. All the most difficult things he made it easy. I mean, it was so nice to watch him play. It would have been great to have him for a couple of more years. He’s still young but, every time I spoke with him, he said that he was not made to travel 25 weeks a year. Or play 20 tournaments. He loved to play the big tournaments but he didn’t like the whole life of a tennis player. So you have to understand that also. But I think he was a great. He was a nice guy from, I repeat, my side. And he was a helluva tennis player…

Fabrice Santoro: “I played Marcelo three times. You could say, on the court, he was a great, great player. And one of the greats of the game. He was to serve well and he hit the ball really, really well on both sides. He hit the backhand moving well too. I remember when he won Indian Wells and Key Biscayne in a row, he was playing one of the best tennis I’ve ever seen…We played three times, he beat me twice. It was always a good match. Because I like to use the spins and slice on the court and when I was playing against him, it was a very fun match, but it was a very good competition. His talents — one of the best.

15 funny stuff you didn't know about Marcelo Rios

1. After achieving the number one in singles, an Argentine reporter ask him what it felt like to be at the same status as Guillermo Vilas; he answered "Vilas was No. 2 and I'm No. 1”.
2. He was fined US$10,000 for speeding during the 1998 Stuttgart tournament.
3. In a confusing incident, he ran over his physical trainer, Manuel Astorga, with his jeep, leaving him gravely injured at the foot. Astorga was later fired as trainer.
4. After a magazine published some photos of him dancing seductively with a woman at a Paris disco, his girlfriend (later to be his first wife), Giuliana Sotela, broke up with him. During a Davis Cup press conference, Ríos read a letter, asking Sotela for forgiveness. He ended the press conference in tears.
5. He was accused by his second wife, María Eugenia Larraín, of throwing her out of his car while driving to visit his daughter in Costa Rica. Larraín arrived to Santiago's airport in dramatic fashion, in a wheelchair and showing multiple bruises on her legs. He claimed those bruises were caused by falling while skiing.
6. He was arrested in Rome in 2001 after he punched a taxi driver in the nose and then had a fight with the policemen arresting him.
7. In 2003, while training for a Davis Cup tie with Ecuador, he allegedly urinated on some men in a La Serena bar's bathroom and was later expelled from his hotel after being accused of swimming nude. As a consequence, the Chilean team missed a flight to Ecuador the following day. He later apologized for the incidents.
8.In 2003, he and a friend were expelled from a Santiago bar after insulting other clients and being involved in a brawl with some waiters. Both were arrested and later released.
9. He reportedly told Monica Seles to move her "fat *****" while on a lunch queue, but he has denied this.
10. During the 1997 Wimbledon tournament he commented that grass was for "cows and soccer" and not suitable for tennis play.
11. He was disqualified from the 2000 Mercedes-Benz Cup tennis tournament in Los Angeles, California during a first round match with Gouichi Motomura of Japan and fined US$5,000 for saying "f*ck you" to the chair umpire.
12. During a post-match interview at the Basel tournament, he insulted a journalist under his breath after she asked him whether he had Native American ancestry.
13. He tried to moon some reporters who were recording him while partying outside his apartment in Reñaca.
14. He fired his coach Larry Stefanki shortly after he became World No. 1, claiming that he wanted to go in a different direction.
15. He won the Prix Citron 'award' several different years (many in a row) for being the most disagreeable player on tour.

Još sa povredom koljena. Najbolesniji je način na koji uze set, kakva dva udarca.

Ne pamtim da je neko ovo uradio.

@papilon 20

Ma nije se luđi frajer pojavio u tenisu, vjeruj mi. Čovjek skrivio saobraćajnu nesreću, pobjegao sa lica mjesta ostavivši povrijeđenog trenera u autu, kojeg je par dana poslije toga otpustio. A pisao sam već na koji način i zašto je prekinuo saradnju sa Larry Stefankijem.

Za ovo godina koliko pratim tenis, stvarno nisam vidio talentovanijeg igrača od njega.

Sampras: Nadal mora biti dio rasprava o najvećem tenisaču svih vremena
PETE SAMPRAS osvrnuo se na čudesnog Španjolca Rafaela Nadala...

"S onime što je Rafa napravio i što radi, ima svaki argument da ga se spominje u svim raspravama o najvećim igračima svih vremena", rekao je.

"Osvojio je 13 Grand Slam turnira i može ih apsolutno osvojiti još, ima pozitivnu bilancu protiv svih igrača iz svoje generacije. Osvojio je Davis Cup, osvojio je zlatnu olimpijsku medalju", dodao je.

Prisjetimo se, sa svojom rekordnom osmom titulom na ovogodišnjem Roland Garosu i drugom US Openom, 27-godišnji Nadal je stigao do brojke od 13 osvojenih Grand Slam turnira, samo četiri manje od Federera.
