Wiesz, że się z Tobą zgadzam, ale nie będę już nudził na ten temat, bo i tak chyba niektórzy mają mnie dość.

Bernard Tomic must push through pain barrier, says Lleyton Hewitt

Spoiler:

LLEYTON Hewitt says Bernard Tomic will have to smash through the grand slam pain barrier in blistering heat tomorrow as the young Queenslander faces grand slam enforcer Rafael Nadal.

As Tomic defended his work ethic, Hewitt backed his Davis Cup teammate to stretch top seed Nadal with temperatures forecast to top 41C.

"It's going to be tough for him (Tomic) to go with Rafa for five sets," Hewitt said.

"It turns into a physical battle. That's what Rafa does to everyone out there.

"The kind of pain and stuff that Novak (Djokovic) had to go through to win a few years ago (2012) on centre court, that's what it takes.

"I can definitely see the first couple of sets with Bernie, he'll get his chances."

BERNARD TOMIC THRASHED BY DEL POTRO IN SYDNEY 2:07

Aussie Bernard Tomic was outclassed in the final of the Sydney International, going down to Argentinean Juan Martin Del Potro in straight sets.
Hewitt is aware of Tomic's superior form in Australia and a penchant for competing well against the best - and especially on Rod Laver Arena in what is likely to be a night match.

"He (Tomic) does get up for the big matches," Hewitt said.

"I have no doubt he's going to play a good match."

Tomic last faced Nadal at Melbourne Park in 2011, building a 4-0 in the second set before departing in straight sets.

Unquestionably gifted, Tomic's languid, erratic style invites accusations of laziness.

"Effort is only between you and you," the Gold Coaster said.

"You can't judge effort. No one can judge effort, only the person that's doing the task or the sport they're playing can judge effort.

RAFAEL NADAL TAKING NO CHANCES IN OPENER AGAINST TOMIC 1:12

Spaniard Rafael Nadal has conceded he has a tough first round fixture against Bernard Tomic and expects the Aussie to come out fighting.
"I think it's (work ethic) pretty good. What do you think?"

The world No.57 Tomic admits to drifting mentally - a luxury he can ill afford against Nadal, the man regarded by former world No.1 Mats Wilander as the most positive man in tennis.

"I sort of zone out for a few games, try to use it to my advantage to come back in," Tomic said.

"It's helped me in the past a lot."

Asked if he could topple reigning French and US Open champion Nadal, Tomic said: "Everything is possible these days.

"I'm playing good. I'm pretty confident.

"I've just got to play the tennis I played early throughout Sydney. Obviously if I can do that I'm going to give myself a chance.

BERNARD TOMIC ADMITS HE HAD TO WORK HARD IN SEMI-FINAL 0:50

World No. 52 Bernard Tomic admits that his Sydney International semi-final against Sergiy Stakhovsky was a tough match.
"It's going to be difficult, for sure. Going to have to be one of those days where I can play my best.

"You're playing against No.1 in the world, you try to have fun and use the moment because he is a champion.

"What he does is so difficult to play against. I have to be on my game, really embrace the moment, have fun, go for my shots.

Nadal is a TAB $1.10 favourite to win the match. Tomic is $7.

AO - konferencja po meczu 1 rundy:

Q. What was more frustrating, having to pull out because of the recurrence of the injury, or some of the reaction from the crowd as you were walking out?
BERNARD TOMIC: Uhm, both. It was sad. It's unfortunate. You know, this opportunity I had to play against Rafa was huge for me. Could have used a lot of it.

Unfortunately, I couldn't compete. It was very difficult for me to say sorry to the crowd. I don't think they quite knew what was wrong with me.

After, when I told them it was my leg, they sort of started to be on my side, which is good that I heard that in the end from their applause.



Q. Is this a recurrence of an injury or something new?
BERNARD TOMIC: I felt it yesterday. I took a day off after the final in Sydney. Unfortunately, it's unlucky how it happened. I started hitting. I went for one ball and felt pain in my left leg.

Then I thought it was going to be okay. Continued to train and couldn't run for any balls. It was very surprising, because I only had one injury, and that was Roland Garros last year. I had to withdraw in the first round and I was pulling a muscle in the first point of the match.

I think this was something similar, but it happened in my upper, I don't know what you call that area.



Q. When did you first notice it tonight? As soon as you went out onto court? A particular stage of the first set?
BERNARD TOMIC: I felt it before when I was warming up. I warmed up well with a left‑hander. I went for one ball on the backhand and just felt it.

I was, Oh, no. It's tough playing Rafa with two legs, let alone one. Nothing I could do. I felt really good the last few weeks the way I was playing, very confident. I felt good on court today. You know, I was serving very good.

I just had to go for my shots. I was putting no stress on my leg and it was still hurting when I had to run for any balls. I just felt like, If I continue playing, who knows, something worse can happen, cannot play maybe for a few months. I don't want to do that. I have to protect myself as much as I can.



Q. Is that why it was so disappointing, because you were playing well against the World No. 1?
BERNARD TOMIC: Yeah, I did. I just felt like I was hitting the ball great, 1‑All, 2‑All, 3‑All, 4‑All. I was serving the ball very good. I was serving, going for my shots. I felt like when he did get me into a few rallies early on, I was like, Oh, no. Straightaway started feeling pain in my leg.

After, when he got that break, he was serving for the set, hit one ball, and I felt it even more. I thought, Am I really going to do this, spend a few more hours on court hurting my body?

I feel sorry because the crowd came and it was difficult for me. I did what's best for me. The crowd have to understand that.



Q. You're not sure if it's your groin on your quad or hip flexor yet?
BERNARD TOMIC: It's in the groin. The left leg in the groin. It's pain that I had yesterday. Who knows, it could go away Monday. Could go away, who knows. I'll have to see tomorrow morning and see how I feel.



Q. What was the advice when you went off the court? Did they seem to think it could have been the end there?
BERNARD TOMIC: I was taking a lot of tablets the last few days ‑ since yesterday. I was trying to get the pain to go away. As soon as I felt on court today hitting, I started feeling the pain.

When they came out on court, the medical, they obviously asked me if I wanted to take any tablets. I told them that I had been taking tablets prior to this the last 24 hours since I noticed the pain.

It's up to you. If you feel like you can't play, if you feel like you're damaging yourself and hurting yourself even more, then it's up to you. It could go worse.

Neil, the physio that was there, said for me to stop. You're only going to do yourself more harm potentially. I felt like the right thing for me is to stop.



Q. You seem frustrated more than anything. You were playing really well; a great opportunity for your career. Hard playing Rafa on one leg.
BERNARD TOMIC: Yeah, he's a great champion, an amazing player. I had the opportunity to play him. I wish I could have played. I would have loved nothing but to get on that court, you know, and give it all I got, which I was doing, but just hurting myself.

At the end of that first set I was mostly thinking to myself that it could end up a lot worse. Better stop now.



Q. What did Rafa have to say after the game?
BERNARD TOMIC: He said, Bernard, what's wrong? I explained to him as quick as I could, My leg is in so much pain. I can't run. He said, I'm sorry to hear that. Good recovery. I wish you the best.

He knows. He's been in positions like this before. It's not easy. Everyone's had it. Unfortunately it had to happen to me in my favorite Grand Slam, my favorite tournament.

What can I do? Hopefully it goes away now.



Q. You got concerns you might miss the Davis Cup, or are you hopeful you'll be right by then?
BERNARD TOMIC: Haven't really thought about that yet. I have no idea. I have to see tomorrow. Hopefully I'm ready for that. That's very important to us and me.



Q. Scan tomorrow?
BERNARD TOMIC: Yeah, I'll go with my doctor, just see what's wrong, potentially what it could be. Who knows, you know. Some people say it's a few‑day thing, could be off a few days.

Some other people say it could be a week or two, don't muck around with it. I'll see tomorrow. I'll find out.

Szkoda chłopaka.
Ci wszyscy, którzy jechali tu po Bernardzie powinni "odszczekac" swoje "mądrości."
Głośno. !

[Mario]

Oczywiście nie mam zamiaru nic odszczekiwać, dodam tylko, że Hewitt był kiedyś w podobnej sytuacji (po meczu z Fedem w AO10 też miał operację biodra) i jakoś mecz dograł. Więc nie użalajmy się tak nad Tomicem.

Absencja Bernarda otwiera szansę dla Kyrgiosa bądź Kokkinakisa na zagranie meczu o coś w pucharze Davisa.

[Saboteur]

Zgadzam się z wyższym. Powinien jeszcze dodatkowo oddać ludziom pieniądze za bilety na ten mecz.

[DUN I LOVE]

Ale tu chyba o innej kontuzji mówimy - podczas meczu przywodziciel, a tu biodro.

Sądzisz, że na czas meczu z Nadalem biodro wzięło sobie wolne.?

[DUN I LOVE]

Nie sądzę, ale w artykule była wzmianka, że to był "ukryty" uraz, który zdiagnozowano, robiąc szczegółowe badania po meczu.

[Robertinho]

Może przy okazji od razu testy psychologiczne? Być może też ujawnią się jakieś ukryte wady.

Oczywiście szybkiego powrotu do zdrowia życzę już zupełnie poważnie Bernardowi.

Nie sądzisz więc, że chłopak nie zasługuje na takie niewybredne opinie od forumowiczów będąc w takiej sytuacji zdrowotnej.? Że miał pełne prawo zadbac o siebie i przerwac mecz. ?

Może i bym sądził, ale po poniższej rewelacji chyba tracę do niego szacunek:

Tomic tried to delay surgery until after the January 31-February 2 tie, but was overruled by doctors. He will be operated on in the next week in Melbourne.

Z Nadalem odpuszczę, bo dbam o zdrowie. Na PD jednak pojadę, operacja biodra poczeka - mogę grać. Żenada trochę.

[Saboteur]

Mógł po prostu wycofać się z turnieju, wtedy byłoby przynajmniej przyzwoicie.

[Robertinho]

Jakby Tomic nie chwalił się tankowaniem i zawsze zachowywał jak na profesjonalnego gracze przystało, na pewno ta krytyka i podejrzliwość byłyby daleko mniejsze. To już jest dorosły mężczyzna i musi liczyć się z odbiorem i konsekwencjami swoich słów i czynów.

......To już jest dorosły mężczyzna i musi liczyć się z odbiorem i konsekwencjami swoich słów i czynów.

Dorosłośc nie zawsze oznacza dojrzałośc.
Niektórym ta sztuka nie udaje się do końca życia.

Życzmy Berniemu zdrowia. Po prostu.

[DUN I LOVE]

No ja życzę udanego powrotu na sezon trawiasty - wcześniej pewnie mu się to nie uda (na cegle jest daremny).

Nie żebym kopał leżącego, ale znalazłem to coś na MTF:

Rasheed's comments a couple of weeks ago:
"Marc McGowan ‏@Aceland_Marc 43m
Roger Rasheed just told luncheon at #BurnieCH he doesn't believe Tomic had groin issue at #AusOpen. Says dad told him pre-match to withdraw. "

Bernard wrócił do treningów po 6 tygodniach przerwy. Póki co trenuje funkcjonalnie, ale jego powrót na korty spodziewany jest już w Monte Carlo. Przy okazji Australijczyk został wcześnie zgłoszony do Nicei.
