Wimbledon 2021

Ach, czyli to w takim lochu Cię trzyma pan Marcelo.

Pozdrów swojego kolegę z celi

[Robertinho]

Co do Daniła, to nie lubię tak warunkować oceny, ale jutro będziemy mądrzejsi.

Nie rozumiem tych ludzi, naprawdę. Serio przerwa w meczu może tak kogoś rozstroić, żeby kolejnego dnia wyglądał nagle jak totalny leszcz po tym, jak wcześniej był nie do przełamania? Ktoś gdzieś popełnił błąd w matriksie i ci ludzie nigdy nie wygrają ani jednego szlema. Zaczynam w to wierzyć całym sercem.

Mhm, ten sezon wybitnie bolesny, sam Wimbledon również. Nie trzeba fabsterów, żeby dochodziło do takich akcji.

A Hubert chyba na papierze to nie jest ulubiony typ przeciwnika dla starego Feda, te wszystkie Miłosze, post-prime Delpo, Kevinek, nie porównuję 1 do 1 z nimi Hubcia, ale warunki, serwis i niezły baseline(a u niego jest naprawdę niezły) to raczej nie jest to, co Dziaderery lubią najbardziej. No ciekaw jestem, bo troszkę zrobił kroków do przodu Polak, czyżby pora na kolejny?

Hubert byłby o wiele gorszy dla starego Feda na hardzie. Na trawie to poza Novakiem prędzej fizycznie mocny Auger znacznie lepiej może wykorzystać niedołężność Szwajcara. Polak raczej nie będzie miał czym ugryźć choć biorąc na poprawkę obecny stan Rogera nie wiadomo jak to się dokładnie potoczy.

Patrząc jak gra tutaj Federer, to Hurkacz jest dla mnie faworytem i zdecydowanie nie powinien ze Szwajcarem przegrać. Pozostaje sfera mentalna, zmierzenie się z największą postacią w historii tego sportu na korcie centralnym Wimbledonu pewnie mając przeciw sobie z 90% publiczności? No niełatwe zadanie pod tym względem, a wiemy, że to nie jest pokolenie, które wjeżdża z buta i ogrywa swoich idoli. No chyba, że Rodź będzie w stanie zagrać lepiej o te 15-20% niż dotychczas, ale jakoś wątpię.

[jaccol55]

Sporym plusem Hurkacza jest jego odporność psychiczna. Z reguły jak przegrywa, to dlatego, że wujowo gra, a nie dlatego, że nie potrafi dowieźć wyniku do końca, bo mu psycha siada. Jeśli przegra, to raczej przez gorszy warsztat tenisowy, niż przez zjazd mentalny, bo kibice są za przeciwnikiem, a nie nim.

[Kiefer]

On generalnie jest ułożony i spokojny, a tenis ma poukładany i jeśli będzie przeważał nad Rogerem, to nie powinien przestraszyć się okazji.

Tak jak pisałem, to co gra tutaj Roger absolutnie nie powinno predysponować do go ćwierćfinału, nie mówiąc o półfinale, ale dzięki dobremu rozstawieniu się doczłapał, a gdyby nie był rozstawiony, to prawdopodobnie trafiłby na lepszego rywala od Mannarino w pierwszej rundzie i już by go w turnieju nie było.

Hurkacz jest w też dobrej pozycji, bo to że moim zdaniem o 15 lat młodszy zawodnik z rankingiem numer 20-30 powinien spokojnie odprawić Szwajcara nikogo nie obchodzi. Faworytem przecież i tak nie jest i jak przegra to nic nie straci, w końcu to wielki Roger, a ćwierćfinał to i tak życiowy jego sukces, natomiast jeśli wygra, to z największym z największych, może więc tylko zyskać Hubert.

[Damian]

Wimbledon - plan gier na środę:

Centre Court - start o 14:30:
N. Djokovic vs M. Fucsovics M. Muras / T. Lorek
R. Federer vs H. Hurkacz T. Tomaszewski / D. Olejniczak

No.1 Court – start o 14:
K. Khachanov vs D. Shapovalov K. Wanio / J. Kostyra
M. Berrettini vs F. Auger-Aliassime K. Nowak / F. Gawęcki

[Starigniter]

A ja uważam przeciwnie - Fed powinien ogarnąć bez wielkich problemów.

[no-handed backhand]

Roger w trzech szybkich.

[Barty]

Ja się tylko zastanawiam, czy gra Rogera uprawnia go do bycia w ćwierćfinale szlema.

[Kiefer]

Nie, zresztą mam wątpliwości, czy uprawnia również Huberta, ale on jednak z kimś bardziej konkretnym wygrał.

Federer bazuje na swoim rankingu, o ile w 2019 mógłby nawet nie być rozstawiony i prawdopodobnie i tak zrobiłby z tego finał, tak teraz znalazłoby się wielu, co odprawiliby go w 1 rundzie i myślę, że Hurkacz również.

[Marcelo]

Ser szwajcarski.




Tak będzie dzisiaj wyglądał return Rogera po serwisach gromowładnego Huberta. Przewiduję szybkie 3-0 dla zabójczego Hubiego.

[Alan]

Przechowuje wszystkie przeglądy których okładka należała do Agnieszki. Tego za to nie nabędę.

@Barty, nie uprawnia. Za ładne oczy dostał.

[DUN I LOVE]

7/8 to ludzie z mojej stajni, ale szansa, że któryś z nich wygra wynosi teraz jakieś 5%.

Five things to watch on Day 9

Spoiler:

Canadians, Hungarian and Pole enjoying centre stage, but no love double this Wimbledon READ MORE
BY MARK HODGKINSON
SOCIAL
Canadians mount advance
The United States of America is no longer a superpower. In the men's game, Canada is now the pre-eminent North American lawn tennis nation, not the US. For the first time in Wimbledon's history, two Canadian men have made it through to the last eight of the gentlemen's singles.

And with both first-time quarter-finalists in their early twenties - Felix Auger-Aliassime is just 20 years old, and Denis Shapovalov only 22 - you have to imagine that this is just the first of many summers when you will see the young Canadians going deep into The Championships.

For now, they are both very much focused on the here and now, with Auger-Aliassime, who plays Italy's Matteo Berrettini, trying to become the youngest Wimbledon semi-finalist since Novak Djokovic in 2007. Shapovalov, who defeated his idol Andy Murray in the third round, and then backed that up with victory over Spain's Roberto Bautista Agut, meets Russia's Karen Khachanov.

Fucsovics hungry for more
For the first time since 1948, Hungary has a man through to the quarter-finals. Unseeded and ranked No.48 in the world, Marton Fucsovics rightly says that's "a big thing, a huge thing".

But having made a breakthrough of his own, he must now try to stop history on the other side of the net, with Djokovic attempting this Fortnight to put himself level with Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal on 20 Grand Slams apiece.

Winning this title would also put the Serbian three quarters of the way to accomplishing the calendar-year Grand Slam, which no man has done since Australia's Rod Laver in 1969.


MARTON FUCSOVICS: FOURTH ROUND BEST POINTS
Daunting last eight debut for Hurkacz
Hubert Hurkacz's reward for beating Daniil Medvedev, the No.2 seed from Russia, is the opportunity to do something extraordinary: he gets a shot at Federer on Centre Court, knowing that victory would give him grass court immortality.

While the Pole will be playing in his first Wimbledon quarter-final, Federer will be appearing in his 18th, with the Swiss gunning for a ninth Wimbledon title, which would equal Martina Navratilova's record for both sexes.


HUBERT HURKACZ INTERVIEW WITH THE WIMBLEDON CHANNEL
Love double out of court
When Australia's Ajla Tomljanovic and her Italian boyfriend Berrettini both reached the quarter-finals of their respective singles events, it raised the possibility of a rare Wimbledon Love Double (Berrrettini was so animated watching her play the other night that he appeared to be shaking the railings on No.1 Court).

Older readers might recall the loved-up tennis summer of 1974 when Chris Evert and Jimmy Connors were together and each won a Wimbledon singles title.

But this summer's possible Love Double is now off after Tomljanovic's defeat to Ashleigh Barty on Tuesday. But perhaps Berrettini, who won the Queen's Club last month, can keep his run going by beating Auger-Aliassime.


MATTEO BERRETTINI AND AJLA TOMLJANOVIC CHAT TO THE WIMBLEDON CHANNEL
Doubles can give Krejcikova double
Barbora Krejcikova could still do the Paris-London double. The Czech, who won her first Grand Slam singles title at Roland-Garros last month, went out in the fourth round of the solo event to Barty on Monday.

But Krejcikova is still in the doubles here. She and fellow Czech Katerina Siniakova, who took the doubles title on the Parisian clay, play the all-Russian pair of Veronika Kudermetova and Elena Vesnina in the quarter-finals.

The Preview: Day 9

What to look out for on Day 9 of The Championships READ MORE
BY DAN IMHOFF
SOCIAL
The noise from courtside to the upper, shadowy reaches on a packed Centre Court makes hairs beneath the collar stand on end when Roger Federer is in the house. It is almost two years, however, since the Swiss last dazzled a capacity audience on this, his most cherished arena.

On our men’s quarter-finals day, the 39-year-old will do so for the first time since every seat in Britain’s outdoor stadiums was allowed to be filled again during these precarious pandemic times. That easing of restrictions came on Tuesday, a beacon of hope and in time for the No.6 seed and his conqueror in that epic 2019 final, world No.1 Novak Djokovic, to feature in a most enticing double-header.

Federer had his taste of playing on a virtually empty Grand Slam arena in a Roland-Garros night session last month amid Paris curfews. Suffice to say, it came as a shock to the system.

“The difference is immense,” Federer said. “I tried to think back, what would it have meant for me to win Wimbledon with no crowds in a finals? I felt like it probably would have taken 70 per cent or 80 per cent of everything away from me.


“Sure, I would have been Wimbledon champion, but it never would have felt the same… Let’s enjoy it for what it is now.”

The two most crowned active Wimbledon champions – with 13 gentlemen’s singles trophies between them – join six Wimbledon last-eight debutants in pursuit of semi-final places: Matteo Berrettini, Hubert Hurkacz, Denis Shapovalov, Felix Auger-Aliassime, Karen Khachanov and Marton Fucsovics.

The two highest-ranked men left standing have claimed a staggering 181 singles matches at The Championships and between them have now amassed 108 major quarter-finals, including 30 at the All England Club. Prior to this event their six chasers had four appearances at this stage of a Grand Slam between them.

The oldest men’s Grand Slam quarter-finalist since 1977 and the oldest at Wimbledon in the Open era, Federer faces the 24-year-old who felled No.2 seed Daniil Medvedev, the endearing Hurkacz.



I TRIED TO THINK BACK, WHAT WOULD IT HAVE MEANT FOR ME TO WIN WIMBLEDON WITH NO CROWDS IN A FINALS? IT PROBABLY WOULD HAVE TAKEN 80 PER CENT OF EVERYTHING AWAY FROM ME. IT NEVER WOULD HAVE FELT THE SAME
ROGER FEDERER
The Pole landed his breakout moment with a maiden Masters 1000 trophy in Miami in April before a six-match losing streak bogged him down. Having ended that in the opening round, he will look to do better than the only previous time he faced the eight-time Wimbledon champion, at Indian Wells two years ago.

Federer noted to Swiss press after the pair first practised in 2019 that Hurkacz was so nice he was apologising for making mistakes. The No.14 seed gave credence to that theory in his glowing endorsements of his prospective quarter-final opponent.

“He's a great guy, great person,” Hurkacz said. “I mean, the way he plays, what he did for the whole sport. He grew the sport massively over his whole career with the way he is, with the way the person he is. Obviously it's special to play him.”


HURKACZ: ENDEARING
Djokovic and the unseeded Hungarian, Fucsovics, will be the first from the men’s draw to experience that return to normal on Centre Court when they meet for a third time. Not since 2008, when then world No.75 Marat Safin played spoiler, has the Serbian lost to a player ranked as low as the world No.48 at Wimbledon.

A 100th Tour-level grass-court match victory is on the line for Djokovic. Having broken a four-match losing streak to his Russian bogeyman Andrey Rublev in the fourth round, the 29-year-old Fucsovics had an inkling the 19-time major champion would help elevate his level further.

“When I play against these guys [the Big Three], of course it's a pleasure for me,” he said. “But they bring out the best of me, and I think I can improve my game when I play against them.”

A maiden Grand Slam semi-finalist is assured when No.10 seed Shapovalov and Russian marathon man Khachanov lock horns on No.1 Court. The 22-year-old Shapovalov and his compatriot Auger-Aliassime have already made history after they ensured two Canadian men had reached the quarter-finals of a Grand Slam for the first time on Monday.


DENIS SHAPOVALOV: FOURTH ROUND BEST POINTS
Having already ventured to the last eight at Flushing Meadows last year, Shapovalov vowed he was ready to become the first Canadian since Milos Raonic five years ago to go at least one further.

The former junior champion delivered victories in straight sets of two-time champion Andy Murray and No.8 seed Roberto Bautista Agut to get here, while No.25 seed Khachanov had to do it the hard way as he denied rising American Sebastian Korda 10-8 in the fifth set of their fourth round clash.

At 20, Auger-Aliassime could become the youngest semi-finalist since Djokovic 14 years ago, should he find a route past his good friend, the No.7 seed Berrettini. The No.16 seed comes off a five-set triumph over Alexander Zverev, while the Italian has been in devastating form, having not dropped set since his opening round against Guido Pella.

Following his girlfriend Ajla Tomljanovic’s departure from the ladies’ singles quarter-finals, Berrettini hopes to venture where the Australian could not as he bids to ride his Queen’s Club winning ways to a second semi-final at a Grand Slam.
