ATP Cup Stars Join Rosewall For Unveiling Of Arena Upgrades

Spoiler:

Murray, Coric, Dimitrov and Goffin participate in ceremony

Australian legend Ken Rosewall was joined by ATP stars Borna Coric, Grigor Dimitrov, David Goffin and Jamie Murray on Monday in Sydney to unveil the upgrades to Ken Rosewall Arena at Sydney Olympic Park Tennis Centre ahead of the start of the ATP Cup on 3 January.

“I think it’s pretty exciting,” Rosewall said at the ceremony. “I think that it’s going to be some of the best tennis that we’ve seen here at the stadium and I think with the new facility here, with the new seats and the new roof, it’s going to be exciting for the spectators as well. I know that there will be a lot of great matches.”

The spectacular $50.5 million upgrade to the Sydney Olympic Park Tennis Centre has included the transformation of Ken Rosewall Arena into a multi-purpose outdoor covered arena with upsized in-stadia videoboards and new seating. The players even aimed their phone cameras towards the sky to capture the centerpiece of the transformation — an all-weather canopy roof.

"It’s the first thing I noticed when I walked into the court. I have a lot of memories out here,” said Dimitrov, who reached the final of the Sydney ATP 250 in 2016. “I’m so excited to be here."
ATP Cup Tournament Director Tom Larner, Tennis NSW CEO and ATP Cup Sydney General Manager Lawrence Robertson and NSW Acting Minister for Sport Geoff Lee were also in attendance at Monday’s arena upgrade unveiling, sharing their excitement for both the improvements at the facility and the debut of the ATP Cup.

“It’s fantastic to see in this wonderful city of Sydney the global launch of the tennis season with the talent we have here today, taking place here in just four days,” Larner said.

Having completed a tour of Brisbane and Perth, the ATP Cup trophy has also arrived in Sydney. Its bespoke design is both a tribute to tennis’ past and a celebration of its future.

Made from sterling silver, the trophy's symmetrical design consists of 24 shards, with each representing one of the 24 countries in the competition. The shards support a silver stem adorned with a hand-blown glass silver sphere, replicating both a traditional tennis ball and the hemisphere logo of the ATP Cup.

The trophy’s base is handcrafted from native Banksia hardwood and is finished with a silver plaque, which awaits the engraving of the first ATP Cup champion team.

The first match in Sydney will pit Belgium against Moldova on Friday at 10am local time.

ATP Cup To Showcase Innovations

Spoiler:

Striking innovation will be a feature of the new ATP Cup, which will launch the global tennis season in Brisbane, Perth and Sydney.

Tennis team competition will be showcased like never before, bringing fans closer to the players, and behind-the-scenes coverage revealing strategy sessions, match analysis and team interaction on a whole new level.

“The ATP Cup is set to launch the 2020 ATP season in a major way and the event is going to play a pioneering role in innovation in our sport,” ATP Cup Managing Director Ross Hutchins said.

“This ground-breaking new tournament has given us the opportunity to take a fresh look and put the players and innovation first across multiple aspects of the event, including rules, technology, behind-the-scenes access, event production and more. The ATP Cup is set to shine a new and unique light on our sport for fans worldwide and we can’t wait for the action to get underway this week.”

The 24-country team event will take place from 3-12 January in partnership between the ATP and Tennis Australia.

“The ATP Cup will bring the fans and players closer together, and on a much bigger scale, than we’ve seen before in tennis,” ATP Cup Tournament Director Tom Larner said.

“The passion, spirit and excitement of team competition, with the players and captains striving to win for their country, and each other, is at the heart of the ATP Cup. Capturing that essence, and delivering it to fans whether they are in the stadium, watching on TV or following on other platforms, will be a major point of difference.

“The new team zones, positioned in the corners of the court, will bring a highly visible support team to each player, with the captain, players and even coaches, all working together to both cheer their player on, as well as providing detailed coaching advice.

“Everything will be captured and delivered in real time to fans, both in-stadium and watching on TV and online, providing a totally new insight into some of the biggest personalities in the game.”

Top 10 ATP Cup innovations:
1.Team Zones positioned in the corners of the court will bring the players closer to fans than ever before.
• Team Zones replace player benches traditionally located by the umpire’s chair
• Equipped with access to real time statistics, data, insights and match vision, the captain, players and coaches can use an Athlete’s AI platform, and have the ability to bring up any points played according to specific match statistics at the touch of a button, as well as bookmark specific points for post-match analysis.
• Each Team Zone can access ATP’s Second Screen, an advanced platform providing player and ball tracking data in real time.
2.Strategy Rooms will give unprecedented access to match analysis and debriefing tools to captains and their teams
3.LED integrated Umpires Chair
4.New canopy roof at Ken Rosewall Arena in Sydney, hosting both the Group Stage and Final Eight, and elevating fan comfort and experience
5.Video Review (VR) enables communication between Chair Umpires and VR operators and greater review capacity with six new and dedicated foot fault cameras
• VR is designed to assist with contentious officiating decisions such as double bounces, foul shots, touches or invasion. Following a previous trial at the Next Gen ATP Finals in Milan, the ATP Cup will become the first FedEx ATP Rankings event in history to use VR.
6.A total of USD $15 million in prize money is on offer, including a participation fee and prize money for both individual match wins and tie victories. The ATP Cup offers more prize money than any other ATP event on the calendar.
7.Up to 750 FedEx ATP Ranking points are up for grabs for a successful player who is undefeated in all possible singles matches. Points are awarded for match wins in each round, with the number of points depending on the ranking of the opponent and the round of the result.
In doubles, an undefeated player who plays and wins all possible doubles matches will earn 250 FedEx ATP Rankings points.
8.State-of-the-art production to capture behind-the-scenes footage and rare player access capturing the players’ team dynamics, ensuring unique content across social media and broadcast throughout the event.
9.On court coaching is allowed for the team captain and competing players’ individual coaches, while fellow team members can assist with input during changeovers and set breaks.

750 punktów można złapać? Sporo.

750 pkt to absolutny maks, nawet nie zawsze możliwy. Ktoś wyliczył, że Nadal może najwięcej ugrać 675, a Novak 700, a i te liczby są mało prawdopodobne bo zakładają, że ich wszyscy ewentualni rywale w ćwiartce/półfinale/finale to będą ludzie z top 10.
Niewiele więc ten turniej zmienia w kontekście rankingu bo maksymalna liczba punktów to częściej będzie około 600, a nie 750, a przede wszystkim wygrana jest zależna od kolegów z ekipy więc końcowe zwycięstwo jest mało pewne. Występ w 500-tce to znacznie lepszy sposób na szybsze uzyskanie pożądanego miejsca w rankingu (a szczególnie gdy gra się toczy o jedynkę) - tak jak to zrobił Fed w Rotterdamie 2018 czy Murray w pościgu za Novakiem w 2016 grając we Wiedniu.

Austria rywalem Polski w ATP Cup. Thomas Muster: Mamy zespół, który zrobi coś dobrego w tym turnieju

Spoiler:

- Mamy zespół, który zrobi coś dobrego w tym turnieju - powiedział Thomas Muster, kapitan reprezentacji Austrii, która będzie jednym z grupowych rywali Polski w zbliżającym się ATP Cup.

Rafael Nadal i Novak Djoković gotowi do startu nowego sezonu. Hiszpan i Serb są już w Australii
Austria będzie jedną z 24 reprezentacji uczestniczących w rozpoczynającej się 3 stycznia pierwszej edycji ATP Cup. Jej kapitanem został Thomas Muster, najwybitniejszy tenisista w historii tego kraju. - Słyszałem, że mogę być kapitanem, ale w tej sprawie skontaktowano się ze mną w październiku podczas turnieju w Wiedniu. Natychmiast się zgodziłem - mówił o kulisach objęcia tej posady w rozmowie z magazynem "Servus".
Liderem austriackiej ekipy w turnieju będzie Dominic Thiem. Co ciekawe, ATP Cup może być początkiem stałej współpracy pomiędzy 26-latkiem z Wiener-Neustadt a Musterem. - Dominic jest bardzo miłym facetem. Jeśli chodzi o tenis, to jeżeli będzie nadal grał na takim poziomie, prędzej czy później będzie miał możliwość zostania liderem rankingu. On grał już w finałach wielkoszlemowych i myślę, że jego czas nadejdzie - powiedział o swoim podopiecznym.



Zapytany, czy pokonałby Thiema, Muster, mistrz Roland Garros 1995 i były lider rankingu, odparł: - Chciałbym zagrać przeciwko niemu, bo uwielbiałem rywalizację z najlepszymi. Stwierdzenie, kto wygrałby taki mecz, byłoby niesprawiedliwe, ale myślę, że to ja bym zwyciężył.

Austria w ATP Cup trafiła do Grupy E. W pierwszym meczu zagra z Chorwacją (4 stycznia). Następnie zmierzy się z Argentyną (6 stycznia) i z Polską (8 stycznia). - Myślę, że mamy zespół, który zrobi coś dobrego w tym turnieju. Może jest kilka bardziej kompletnych drużyn, ale my w każdym meczu na pewno będziemy walczyć do końca - powiedział Muster o szansach swojej reprezentacji.

Emerytowany Darcis chyba o północy otwiera ten cyrk.

Ciekawy jestem jak to wypadali.

Wiadomo, że wszelkie drużynówki z urzędu są traktowane nieco inaczej, jednak myślę że może być to jakaś konkurencja dla mało wartościowych kurników.
