Novak otkazao Miami,ocekivano reklo bi se.

Jel čekao reakciju Rafe iako je Rafa treći?

Ne.

Cekao je sta ce raja sa ss.ba foruma da kaze,pa je onda odlucio

[japa]

Nidje veze, zadnjih godinu dana vise su odmarali nego sto su igrali i sada napokon dodju turniri i fol neke pauze, kalkulacije, satro odmori, od cega da mi je znati? treba to sankcionisati, neprihvaljtivo i nesportsko ponasanje.

[AA23]

Jel Miami jedan od rijetkih koji će se igrati bez Big3?

Mislim ko tamo ode ima fine šanse, jer je generalno tenis otišao u qrac, ova Korona je poyebala i ono malo što su znali igrati ovi next-genovci, pa jedan Arslan čelendžer igrač rješava Rubljeva, a Harris Shapovalova i tako dalje.

[Goretzka]

Harris ili Karatsev?

[Bosniatennis]

Za pola sata Karatsev VS Harris,tko ce do prve ATP titule.Iskreno navijam za Karatseva ali mislim da ce vremenom on ispasti iz top 100 kao sto je Damir Dzumhur

[Finn]

Zar je bilo uopste upitno da ce Karatsev po titulu? U momentumu je, pa morao je.

[Goretzka]

Harris zalutao u finale. Sada bi bilo dobro da se pred sezonu sljake probudi neko tipa Wawrinka da uzme Miami npr. i da napokon gledamo zanimljivu sezonu na sljaci a ne samo Nadal Djokovic Thiem.

[AA23]

Ma Wawrinka je meščini u nekoj vrsti depresije, previše je vremena na društvenim mrežama i imam neki feel da jednostavno nije " u " tenisu trenutno

Možda ga handri neka mala, ko tebe Goretzka, a?

[Goretzka]

Pa zar njeg ne handri Vekicka, nema tu nista sporno

Kako god volio bih da se on vrati na onaj svoj nivo, on ne moze biti mrzak teniser nebitno za koga ko navijao.

Lijepa sansa za Medvedeva da ugrabi Masters, doduse tu su Tsitsipas i Zverev, ne treba otpisati Ruse - Karatseva, Rubleva, Khachanova. Thiem mi ove sezone bas bezveze djeluje, nezainteresovano, nikako ne ulijeva tu neku sigurnost da bi mogao negdje daleko.

Sta je sa Delpaca, jel ziv on?

Poslije 139. uzastopnih Mastersa na kojem je jedan od njih nastupao ovo ce biti prvi na kojem nece biti nijednog.

[Oikamid]

Može Aslan biti čelendžer igrač do sutra, ali ono što pruža na terenu je top10 bez ikakve dileme.

[bodi123]

Može Aslan biti čelendžer igrač do sutra, ali ono što pruža na terenu je top10 bez ikakve dileme.

Ma neće više bit, klikno je. Kvalitet je definitivno prisutan, Top 20-30 u budućnosti ako ništa, odličan je.

Ni prvi ni zadnji koji je "preko noći" došao na ozbiljan ATP nivo, što je još samo jedan dokaz zapravo koliko u tenisu glava znači, i da među čelendžer igračima uvijek ima onih koji su igrački spremni za najveći nivo, ali ih koče određene sitnice i stvari van tehničko-fizičkog aspekta, odnosno većinom su to raznorazne mentalne barijere.

Karatsev je imao strašnu prošlu sezonu na čelendžer touru i nagovjestio ovo što danas gledamo.

[Felixians4]

jako gotivan turnir acapulco. pun k raje na tribinama, a finale dobro. Jesu popuštali jedan i drugi standardno chokerski,no generalno nisu pucali i bilo je masu dramatično makar nije išlo u treći set. Sascha proslavio,znači mu konačno jedan ozbiljniji skalp u završnici. Tsitsi premalo besplatnih dobija iz prvog servisa. Sad taj krnji Miami pa šljaka,karte se miješaju...

[jestamaji]

acapulco je najcool turnir, to se već godinama zna. umag dolazi odma iza. svaki je top u svojoj kategoriji

sjećam se jednog intervjua moye u RG kad je spominjao male turnire na kojima se čovjek priprema za velike i istovremeno relaksira, i spomenuo je umag (i još par njih)

rafa o noletu u svojoj autobiografiji iz 2011.

These are excerpts taken from Rafa's book, "Rafa: My Story", that was released back in 2011.


2006 - French Open
A year younger than me, Djokovic was a hell of a player, temperamental but hugely talented. Toni and I had been talking about him and I’d been watching him in my rearview mirror, looming closer, for a while now. He’d been racing up the rankings, and I had a strong feeling that he would be neck and neck with me before too long, that it would not just be me, but me and him, against Federer. Djokovic had a strong serve and was fast and wiry and strong—often dazzling—on both forehand and backhand. Above all, I could see he had big ambitions and a winner’s temperament. More a hard court than a clay court player, he was competitive enough to make it difficult for me in the Roland Garros quarters. I won the first two sets 6–4, 6–4, and was preparing for a long afternoon’s work when unfortunately for him, but fortunately for me, he had to pull out with an injury.

2008 - Monte Carlo
[...] Another passenger on the flight asked me whether there were any serious rivals for me out there, beyond Federer. I didn’t hesitate to reply. “Novak Djokovic,” I said. “He’ll be challenging us hard in a couple of years’ time.”

Already he had been giving me trouble. While I had beaten him in Indian Wells in 2007, to win my first tournament on U.S. soil, I lost to him in the following tournament, the Miami Masters. I won playing him in the French Open semis and in the Wimbledon semis that year too, then lost to him in the Canadian Masters, which he won. When we faced off again a year later, in 2008, I lost to him at Indian Wells, before going on to beat him in Hamburg and in the French Open. But he’d already won a Grand Slam in January that year, the Australian Open, at the age of twenty.

Everybody still had their eyes on Federer and me, but we both knew Djokovic was the up-and-coming star and that our dual dominance was going to be more at risk from him than from any other player. Disconcertingly, he was also younger than me. This was something new. I had been accustomed all my life until this point, in tennis and also in the junior football leagues of Mallorca, to being the young kid who had the audacity to take on and beat his elders. This younger guy was now beating me, and even when I won, he was giving me very tough games. Federer would presumably retire before I did, assuming injury didn’t do me in. Djokovic would be dogging me right to the end of my career, trying everything to jump ahead of me in the rankings. On clay I had an edge over him, as I did over Federer and everybody else. But on hard courts I struggled against him, as I did against many others.

2010 - US Open
A strong and fit Djokovic was a formidable opponent. Our match didn’t have quite the same aura as another Federer-Nadal battle, at least as far as the crowds were concerned, but for me the challenge was quite daunting enough. He is a very complete player—more complete, Toni says, than I am—without any obvious weak points, and on hard surfaces, such as the ones at Flushing Meadow, he’d beaten me more times than I had beaten him. His greatest strengths are his excellent sense of positioning on the court and his ability to hit the ball early, on the rise. He is as good on the backhand as on the forehand, and his vision of the ball is so sharp that he plays with time to spare, more often than not inside the court, narrowing the angles for his opponents, making the game a lot easier for himself.

With Federer, the rule is always to keep patiently plugging away, knowing you’ll force him sooner or later to make mistakes. With Djokovic, there is no clear tactical plan. It is simply a question of playing at your very best, with maximum intensity and aggression, seeking to retain control of the point, because the moment you let him get the upper hand, he is unstoppable. My impressions were confirmed as I watched his semifinal against Federer on TV, which Djokovic won after saving two match points. I thought, not for the first time, “What an incredibly tough and talented guy!” I also thought how hard it was going to be to beat him. [...] If you hit it low or medium height to Djokovic, especially when his line of vision is as sharp as it was now, he strikes the ball perfectly. But if he receives the ball at shoulder height, you make him uncomfortable, you make him guess, put him off his stride.

Djokovic is a fantastic player, but in a Grand Slam final, decided over the best of five sets, nerves and stamina count as much as talent. Any doubts I might have had before the match began had been dispelled by my performance in the first two sets. As for the stress of a US Open final, I’d won eight Grand Slams to his one, and that gave me the confidence of knowing that I could take it on at least as well as he. Another thing going for me was that his track record showed that he flagged physically in longer matches. He had never beaten me in a best-of-five match. [...] In our past encounters Djokovic had shown a tendency to grow frustrated as the game progressed when he saw he had to push himself to the limit on every point. He also tended to tire more quickly than I do.

[...]

An unspoken rule of tennis is that if you are tired you try not to show it. He’d given up trying. His body language reflected resignation, as if he had run out of answers to my challenges. Now was the moment to go for the double break and clinch the match. My instinct again was to play it safe, but my judgment told me the time was ripe for aggression. I didn’t want to let up the pressure on Djokovic for one second. I knew how mercurial he was, and the one thing I had to avoid at all costs was giving him a window of opportunity to recover his self-belief and rediscover his best form.

Novak Djokovic—or “Nole,” as I call him, as do his fans, friends, and family—is all of these things already. Extraordinarily gracious at a moment so bitter for him, he didn’t wait for me at the net but came over to my side of the court and embraced me, congratulated me on what I had done. [...] In the presentation ceremony Nole was the first to speak, and once again, he behaved with great class, showering praise on me and thanking absent friends. He showed himself to be the most dignified of losers and a credit to our sport.

15 godina jel to?

Pretpostavljam da je nekad prije 2005te bio taj Masters gdje jedan od njih nije nastupao.

[LlullSergio]

Jest 2005.

acapulco je najcool turnir, to se već godinama zna. umag dolazi odma iza. svaki je top u svojoj kategoriji

sjećam se jednog intervjua moye u RG kad je spominjao male turnire na kojima se čovjek priprema za velike i istovremeno relaksira, i spomenuo je umag (i još par njih)

dobro,moya je kralj umaga pa mu je otud drag,a on nije priprema za velike turnire jer je na zemlji između travnate i usred početka američke hard sezone,no poanta ti stoji iako je znatno opala snaga umaškgo turnira,upitna je i opstojnost istog,malo se izlizao.

[lucky13]

Tacno 6 godina i tacno 2 godine duze od rafe! 313

AO titula izgleda još bolje sada kada su mu protivnici iz QF, SF i F uzeli 3 naredna turnira.

[NukeR_G1970]

Mozda i najbolje izdanje jednog tenisera ikada. Doha, 2016.
