Damian jak prognozy pogody? Raczej ma nie padać za wiele w Londynie.

Dokładnie.

Może tutaj uda się rozegrać turniej bez zbędnych kłopotów pogodowych.

Five Challenger Stars To Watch At Wimbledon

Spoiler:

A look at the ATP Challenger Tour stalwarts poised to make a run in London
For the next fortnight, all eyes will be on the stars of the ATP Tour as they battle for the coveted Gentlemen's Singles Trophy at Wimbledon.

Roger Federer is seeking an unprecented ninth title, while Novak Djokovic looks to retain his crown and Rafael Nadal targets a return to the throne at the All England Club. Which players will provide the surprises and upsets of the tournament? And which under-the-radar title contenders are in the mix?

There are plenty of questions to be answered over the next 14 days and the stakes couldn't be higher. For players looking to rise the ATP Rankings on the ATP Challenger Tour, a berth in a Grand Slam main draw is a significant prize. A platform to showcase their skills and eventually take the next step on the ATP Tour, it presents a huge opportunity on a global stage.

A strong performance at Wimbledon can prove to be career-altering for many Challenger stars, as they target the Top 100 and beyond. So, which players are poised to wreak havoc on the draw? We look at five to watch on the lawns of SW19...

Soon-woo Kwon (KOR)
The first three players on this list are carrying the mantle for the ATP Challenger Tour youth movement in 2019. You'd be hard-pressed to find a more dominant trio aged 23 & under than Soon-woo Kwon, Kamil Majchrzak and Corentin Moutet. A combined 83 match wins and six titles have them soaring towards the Top 100 and beyond.

Kwon is leading the charge, with the top Korean boasting a 30-11 mark, behind a pair of crowns in Yokohama and Seoul. He is one of just two players with 30 match wins this year, along with Gianluca Mager, and enters his Wimbledon debut on the heels of strong performances at the grass-court Challengers.

In the first grass tournaments of his pro career, the 21-year-old reached the Round of 16 at both the Surbiton Trophy and Ilkley Trophy, before streaking through Wimbledon qualifying with the loss of just one set. He will look to build on a career-high standing of No. 126 in the ATP Rankings, when he opens against Karen Khachanov on Monday. It will be his first match against a Top 10 opponent.

*Appearing at Wimbledon
Kamil Majchrzak (POL)
The future of Polish tennis rests on the shoulders of World No. 52 Hubert Hurkacz and the 23-year-old Majchrzak. The only Poles in the Top 500 of the ATP Rankings, they are carrying the torch this fortnight. While Hurkacz enjoyed his breakthrough campaign last year, culminating in an appearance at the Next Gen ATP Finals, his countryman is making a push of his own in 2019.

Majchrzak has risen more than 60 spots to a career-high No. 111 since the start of the season, boasting a 28-10 record with titles in St. Brieuc and Ostrava. Moreover, his .737 win percentage is Top 5 among all players this year. Having already surpassed his 2018 win total, it is proving to be a breakout season for Majchrzak.

He will face Fernando Verdasco to open his Wimbledon campaign, with top Brit Kyle Edmund looming in the second round. But after reaching the Ilkley semi-finals behind wins over Yuichi Sugita and Jiri Vesely, and storming through qualifying without dropping a set, the Pole is certainly one to watch at SW19.

Novak

Corentin Moutet (FRA)
Don't let his lack of grass-court experience fool you. Moutet has been a force this year, regardless of the surface. One of just four players with titles on both hard and clay, in Chennai and Lyon, the #NextGenATP Frenchman is playing the best tennis of his young career leading into Wimbledon.

In the last six weeks, the 20-year-old reached a Challenger final in Samarkand, won the title at the Open Sopra Steria in Lyon, advanced to the third round at Roland Garros and battled through qualifying at Wimbledon. The recent run has seen him vault to seventh position in the ATP Race To Milan and a career-high No. 85 in the ATP Rankings.

And Moutet is already battle-tested on the grass. In his qualifying opener, he fought from a break down in the deciding set to defeat Lucas Mielder 6-4, 3-6, 8-6. Now, the Frenchman will hope to carry the momentum against Grigor Dimitrov on Monday. It will be the third match on Court 15.

Dominik Koepfer (GER)
It has been a whirlwind month of June for Koepfer, who will make his Grand Slam debut on the heels of a maiden ATP Challenger Tour title in Ilkley. The German capped the grass-court swing with a 3-6, 6-3, 7-6(5) comeback win over Dennis Novak, saving a championship point in the process.

One week after pushing eventual champion Daniel Evans to the brink of defeat in the Nottingham quarter-finals, Koepfer would not be denied at the Ilkley Trophy. He reeled off 10 sets in a row to reach the final, including convincing wins over Top 100 players Yannick Maden and Ugo Humbert.

Koepfer, who was mired in a 4-10 stretch entering the grass season, found his form in a hurry. The 25-year-old was rewarded with a career-high No. 132 in the ATP Rankings and finds himself with a favourable draw at the All England Club. Making his debut at SW19, he opens against Filip Krajinovic, who is searching for his first grass-court match win since 2015.

Koepfer

Dennis Novak (AUT)
Last year, Novak emerged as one of the biggest surprises at Wimbledon. In his debut appearance at the All England Club, the Austrian battled to the third round as a qualifier, notching his first Top 20 win over Lucas Pouille.

Novak will hope history repeats itself in 2019. Once again, the 25-year-old is back in the main draw after moving through qualifying, and at No. 104 in the ATP Rankings, the Top 100 could be just one win away. He opens against Marton Fucsovics on Tuesday.

The Austrian is certainly riding a wave of momentum into Wimbledon, having reached the quarter-finals in Nottingham and championship match in Ilkley. Novak's game thrives on the faster surfaces, as evidenced by his recent grass-court results and maiden Challenger title on the indoor hard courts of Taipei City in April.

Novak

Others To Watch
Having peaked at No. 41 in the ATP Rankings in 2017 and back inside the Top 100 once again, Evans isn't your typical Challenger-level player. But he enters Wimbledon on the heels off a ruthless grass-court run with consecutive titles in Surbiton and Nottingham. The 29-year-old became just the second player to win consecutive Challengers on grass in the past 20 years. Using his flat groundstrokes and low backhand slice, Evans poses a daunting test on grass.

Also keep an eye on Spanish veteran Pablo Andujar and Lithuania's Ricardas Berankis. While he has not competed on grass since 2015, Andujar is one of the hottest players on the planet this year. With a Challenger-leading 19-2 (.905) record and three titles, he is surging at No. 77 in the ATP Rankings. And right behind the Spaniard on the win-loss leaderboard is Berankis, owning a 19-3 (.864) mark and a trio of trophies. Andujar opens against Mikhail Kukushkin, with Berankis facing Denis Shapovalov.

Djokovic, Tsitsipas Headline Day 1 At Wimbledon

Spoiler:

Anderson, Zverev also feature in packed schedule
In keeping with tradition at The All England Club, defending champion Novak Djokovic will contest the first Centre Court match on Day 1 of The Championships. The four-time Wimbledon champion will meet Philipp Kohlschreiber for the fourth time this year as he begins his title defence.
Djokovic owns a 10-2 FedEx ATP Head2Head series lead against Kohlschreiber. But the German veteran has proven a tricky opponent for the top seed this year, defeating the World No. 1 at the BNP Paribas Open and pushing him to three sets at the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters. So Djokovic’s focus is set squarely on his opener, not on the journey to another title.
“In order to win straight-set matches against, for example, Kohlschreiber, my first-round opponent, a very good, quality tennis player on grass, or any surface for that matter — he won against me earlier this year in Indian Wells — you need the right intensity,” Djokovic said. “You need to kind of be in the moment, focus only on the next challenge.”
“Follow
This is Djokovic’s first tournament since Roland Garros, where he lost in the semi-finals against Dominic Thiem. He is aiming to improve on his 14-0 record in first-round matches at Wimbledon, the World No. 1 has not lost in the first round at a Grand Slam since the 2006 Australian Open (l. to Goldstein).
Another leading contender, #NextGenATP Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas, enters Wimbledon with more tour-level victories than any player this year. The World No. 6 will look to become the first man to notch 35 wins this season (34-14) when he faces Thomas Fabbiano of Italy, whom he defeated in the third round at SW19 last year, on No. 2 Court.
Tsitsipas, who reached the semi-finals at Wimbledon as a junior, and also won the boys’ doubles title, is competing in the main draw at The All England Club for the third time. Last year, he advanced to the fourth round, falling to eventual semi-finalist John Isner.

Last year’s finalist, Kevin Anderson, opens play on No. 3 Court against Pierre-Hugues Herbert. Anderson will hope to improve on his 18-10 record at Wimbledon when he meets the Frenchman, a NOVENTI OPEN semi-finalist.
The South African enters the grass-court Grand Slam championship with a 9-3 tour-level record this year, having missed almost three months of the season due to a right elbow injury. In his first appearance since the Miami Open presented by Itau in March, Anderson fell to a second-round defeat against Gilles Simon at the Fever-Tree Championships.
Reigning Nitto ATP Finals champion Alexander Zverev will open his campaign for a first Grand Slam crown against Jiri Vesely. The German has reached the third round or better in each of his three most recent visits to The All England Club.
Other notable matches on Monday include British No. 1 Kyle Edmund's Centre Court meeting with Jaume Munar and the all-French encounter between 16th seed Gael Monfils and #NextGenATP talent Ugo Humbert on No. 3 Court.

Jak widać na tę chwilę nie są przewidziane transmisje tv z meczów naszych reprezentantów, gdyż Polsat ma do dyspozycji 9 kortów, a tak się składa, że akurat Polacy grają na innych.

Ale ponoć jeszcze walczą o transmisje, więc zobaczymy jutro.

[DUN I LOVE]

Ja to mocno sceptycznie podchodzę do tych wszystkich liczników prędkości

- mówi Dawid za każdym razem, gdy zostanie zatrzymany przez drogówkę.

Nawet nie napiszę w takim razie, w ile czasu ostatnio przejechałem trasę Szczecin - Warszawa.

Podobno od tego roku mamy mieć zadaszony także kort numer 1. Deszcze, bez względu na swoje chęci, nie powinien już przeszkadzać.

[Damian]

Nawet na pewno:

Jeszcze nie wspominaliśmy o tym, ale już kilkanaście dni temu, ukończone zostały prace z budową dachu nad kortem nr. 1.

12 godzin do startu turnieju!

[DUN I LOVE]

Widzę, że jednym z ciekawszych pojedynków 1r. może być starcie Tsongi i Tomicia. Co sądzicie na temat Kangura ? Postawi się Tsondze, który według mnie jest daleki od swojej najlepszej dyspozycji.

Jeżeli pytasz pod kątem ewentualnego pogrania tego meczu, odpuściłbym. Moim zdaniem spokojnie Tsonga ogarnie.

Jeśli można spytać. Dlaczego Federera często nazywa się tu pyszalkiem? Zawsze mnie to zastanawiało

[Kamileki]

Podobno od tego roku mamy mieć zadaszony także kort numer 1. Deszcze, bez względu na swoje chęci, nie powinien już przeszkadzać.

Tak, od tego roku dwa korty będą miały dach na Wimbledonie. Deszcz w dużych ilościach i przy dwóch dachach będzie przeszkadzał, ale tylko w pierwszym tygodniu plus w poniedziałek gdy rozgrywane jest 16 spotkań 4 rundy u pań i panów. Niemniej od ćwierćfinałów każdy mecz na 100 % zakończy się w planowanym terminie, a czołówka nie będzie miała żadnych opóźnień w początkowych rundach. Dzięki tej inwestycji sytuacja wydaje się być już całkiem luksusowa.

[DUN I LOVE]

Chyba, że w pierwszym półfinale Nadal z jakimś Coriciem zagrają TB w deciderze przy po 12. Wtedy cisza nocna znowu może przeszkodzić.

[Kamileki]

Coric będzie grał, ale na playstation w tym roku

[DUN I LOVE]

Nie pisałem o tym roku, tylko generalnie.

Słabiutko u mnie jutro z czasem i pewnie ograniczę się okajonalnie do ls tylko.

From Ivanisevic To Kyrgios: Wimbledon's Greatest Wild Cards

Spoiler:

Wild cards have won singles and doubles titles at The All England Club

Wimbledon history has proven that wild cards are far from space fillers in the draws.

From Marcos Baghdatis and Paul Jubb in singles, to Lleyton Hewitt and Jordan Thompson in doubles, this year’s wild card recipients will look to match some of the most unlikely runs in tournament history. ATPTour.com looks back at the five most memorable wild cards at The All England Club.

Goran Ivanisevic (2001 champion)
There wasn’t a dry eye in the stands when Ivanisevic completed his improbable run to the title. After three runner-up finishes (1992, 1994, 1998), injuries saw his ATP Ranking plummet outside the Top 100. Ivanisevic arrived as a sentimental favourite in 2001 with a 13-22 ATP Tour record over the previous 12 months.

But the Croatian caught fire once again, defeating Carlos Moya, Andy Roddick, Marat Safin and Tim Henman en route to the championship match against Patrick Rafter. Rain pushed the final to a unprecedented “People’s Monday”. Ten thousand tickets were given out by lottery to fans waiting in the queue, most of whom were vocal enough to give Centre Court the energy of a football match.

After more than three hours, Ivanisevic prevailed in a 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 2-6, 9-7 classic. He remains the lowest-ranked player (No. 125) to win Wimbledon and the only male player to win a Grand Slam singles title as a wild card.

“I think I’m dreaming. To touch the trophy is so great,” said Ivanisevic. “I don’t even care if I win another match in my life again. This is it. This is the end of the world.”

<a href='https://www.atptour.com/en/players/gora ... iew'>Goran Ivanisevic</a> celebrates at 2001 <a href='https://www.atptour.com/en/tournaments/ ... mbledon</a>

Nick Kyrgios (2014 quarter-finals)
A 19-year-old Kyrgios was awarded a wild card after winning an ATP Challenger Tour event on grass earlier that month in Nottingham. The Aussie put it to good use, rallying from two sets down to beat No. 13 seed Richard Gasquet in the second round before stunning second seed Rafael Nadal in the fourth round. His audacious shotmaking during the four-set victory made him the first male debutant to reach the Wimbledon quarter-finals since Florian Mayer in 2004.

“It still hasn't sunk in yet,” said Kyrgios after the match. “I was overwhelmed with every feeling out there. I turned to my whole box and just shared that moment with them.”

Kyrgios fell to Milos Raonic in the quarter-finals, but his run pushed him inside the Top 100 in the ATP Rankings and announced his arrival as a star player.

Juan Carlos Ferrero (2009 quarter-finals)
Injuries had pushed the former World No. 1 outside the Top 100 of the ATP Rankings, but he found his form again on the grass by reaching the semi-finals earlier in the month at the Fever-Tree Championships. Arriving on a wave of confidence, Ferrero matched his best result at this event by defeating No. 10 seed Fernando Gonzalez and eighth seed Gilles Simon to reach the quarter-finals.

Although Ferrero would lose to Andy Murray, he continued his run of form to re-enter the Top 20 that season.

<a href='https://www.atptour.com/en/players/juan ... view'>Juan Carlos Ferrero</a> at 2009 <a href='https://www.atptour.com/en/tournaments/ ... mbledon</a>

Pat Cash (1986 quarter-finals)
The Aussie had already enjoyed plenty of success at The All England Club, having reached the singles semi-finals in 1984 and doubles final in 1984 (w/McNamee) and 1985 (w/Fitzgerald). But an operation for a herniated disc in his lower back limited Cash to three events in the previous 12 months. Just weeks before the tournament, he underwent an emergency appendix operation.

Once Cash stepped on the grass, his health woes and lack of match play were never a factor. The Aussie knocked out No. 2 seed Mats Wilander to reach the quarter-finals before losing to Henri Leconte. He also started what has now become a tradition of throwing headbands and wristbands into the crowd to celebrate his wins.

“To get a wild card at Wimbledon, then to pull out is not something you want to do,” said Cash to ATPTour.com. “My legs were gone [against Leconte]. It was out of my control, but I did make sure I was super fit moving forwards to ensure that if I got to the quarter-finals, I was ready and wasn’t in the situation again.”

The Aussie would return the following year to clinch his lone Grand Slam title over Ivan Lendl.

Frederik Nielsen and Jonathan Marray (2012 champions)
The only wild card men’s doubles champions in tournament history weren’t even supposed to play together. Marray was meant to pair with Adil Shamasdin, but they couldn’t get into the tournament on their ATP Doubles Rankings.

Marray and Nielsen's dream run saw them defeat defending champions Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan in the semi-finals before taking out Robert Lindstedt and Horia Tecau in five sets for the title. The win marked the first ATP Tour-level doubles title for either player and made Marray the first British men’s doubles champion at Wimbledon since 1936.

By winning a Wimbledon title, Nielsen also finished the job that his grandfather, Kurt Nielsen, nearly completed 60 years earlier. Kurt reached the men’s singles final in 1953 and 1955.
