Monte Carlo 2019

[no-handed backhand]

3/10. Równie dobrze mogliby mnie pytać o WTA.

[lake]

Zacznijmy od tego że w ostatnim pytaniu jest błąd na moje oko.

Nie ma błędu. Jeśli masz na myśli pytanie o liczbę tytułów bez straty seta. Sprawdziłem sobie dokładnie tę kwestię po ankiecie

Spoiler:

Oddałem dość kontrolowany strzał bo myślałem, że było więcej niż 5.

Ale w pytaniu jest błąd. Bo przecież rok temu stracił seta w finale.

[Kamileki]

Jesteś pewien, że straciliśmy seta z Samurajem w finale ?

[lake]

Jesteś pewien, że straciliśmy seta z Samurajem w finale ?

Starość, wolne kojarzenie albo zbytnie upraszczanie się kłania. Ktoś wrzucił tutaj HL z finału z Monfem i mój mózg miał zakodowane, że zawsze w wątku turniejowym są HL z zeszłego roku, a myślenie wyłączone.

[Kamileki]

Nadmiar informacji często miesza w głowie. Ot, taki paradoks

[Alan]

Lucas Catarina. Co to za wynalazek ? Oglądał ktoś może jego mecze ?

Ja nie. Pewnie równie perspektywiczny co kiedyś Benjamin Balleret.

Kort 11 – start o 11:

Marco Trungelliti vs [12] Peter Gojowczyk

[Rroggerr]

Niezła ta drabinka z mojej perspektywy, nikt komu w tym momencie kibicuję nie trafił do Nadala, Felix dostanie szansę odstrzelenia Zworka, Thiem bardzo łatwo, i u Djokovicia, Cipas na cegle powinien nabić sobie wygraną nad Daniłem, a Djokovic w Mastersach gra poza Szanghajem słabo, więc jest szansa powalczyć. Mecz Mug-Shapo o lanie od Nadala to też ciekawa perspektywa.

[Razing]

No musze przyznać nawet nawet ta drabinka. Ani Novak ani Rafa nie mają trudno, ale jak dotrą do finału to można chyba będzie powiedzieć że nie po leszczach tam doszli tylko po względnie dobrych zawodnikach...no dobra szukuje się na Bautista-Nadal i spodziewaną niespodziankę

[Damian]

Najdłuższy mecz bo3 w historii.

[DUN I LOVE]

O 5 rano wystartowali?

Poza Catariną w kwalach pokazał się inny lokalny wynalazek - 22-letni Julian Ocleppo, który zrobił to, co ostatnio robi każdy kolejny rywal Miszy Zverava. Wygrał mecz tenisowy.

Wydaje się, że walczył jak lew Bernie, ale ostateczni lepszy Rubliow.

[Alan]

Wydaje się, że walczył jak lew Bernie, ale ostateczni lepszy Rubliow.

Byś w innym tonie napisał posta gdybyś wiedział, że przegrał z 6/4 3/1 40-0* a tak w istocie było.

Popyrin.

[DUN I LOVE]

Haha, zdecydowanie, nie miałem pojęcia.

Brawo Bernardzie. Tobie też, Gulbisie.

Flashback: Nadal, Nishikori Make Moves In Monte-Carlo

Spoiler:

Relive the best of the best from the 2018 Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters
The Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters, the season's first ATP Masters 1000 event on clay, is almost here. But before we usher in another European clay-court swing, ATPTour.com remembers five highlights from the 2018 edition.
1. Rafa Rafa'd. Again.
Stop us if you've read this before: Rafael Nadal won the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters. By now, you've heard or read that line 11 times as last year the Spaniard became the first male to win an ATP Tour tournament 11 times.
Nadal also became the outright Masters 1000 titles leader with 31 (he now has 33), breaking his tie with Serbian Novak Djokovic (who now has 32). At the time, Nadal had won a career-best 36 consecutive sets on clay. His flawless run through the Monte-Carlo field marked the fifth time he had won the tournament without dropping a set (2008-10, 2012, 2018).
Watch: Rafa Wins 11th Monte-Carlo Title

It was a foreshadowing event for the Spaniard, who would continue making history during the clay season. Nadal also won his 11th titles at the Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell (d. Tsitsipas) and Roland Garros (d. Thiem). Another massive clay-court haul helped the Spaniard finish at No. 2 in the year-end ATP Rankings.
2. Nishikori Launches Return To Nitto ATP Finals
Kei Nishikori produced the most unexpected result of the season's first clay-court Masters 1000 event. The Japanese reached his fourth Masters 1000 final – and his second on clay – before falling to Nadal.
It was only his second time playing at the event, and two months earlier, Nishikori, still on the comeback from right-wrist surgery, was lifting the trophy at the RBC Tennis Championships of Dallas, an indoor ATP Challenger Tour event.
But Nishikori beat Tomas Berdych, Sydney International titlist Daniil Medvedev, second seed Marin Cilic and Germany's Alexander Zverev to reach his first final since February 2017 (Argentina Open, l. to Dolgopolov). He'd end his season by making his fourth trip to the Nitto ATP Finals, and his first big result came in Monte-Carlo.

3. The Bryan Brothers Returned To Top Form
Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan were the doubles team to beat as the clay-court season began in earnest in the Principality. The Bryans won their second consecutive Masters 1000 title and their 38th overall by knocking off the reigning Australian Open champions Oliver Marach/Mate Pavic.
But their season would break down during the Mutua Madrid Open final, when the American twins had to retire for the first time in 1,407 matches as a team because of a right hip injury for Bob. The left-handed twin wouldn't take the court again until January 2019, but Mike continued their winning ways with Jack Sock, taking Wimbledon, the US Open and the Nitto ATP Finals.
And the Bryans are back in form again. While they will not compete in Monte-Carlo, the Americans just won their sixth Miami title.
Watch: Bryans Win Monte-Carlo Doubles Title

4. Djokovic Showed Signs Of Progress
This was progress for Novak Djokovic in April 2018: The two-time Monte-Carlo champion pushed Dominic Thiem to three sets before losing in the third round at his home Masters 1000 event.
It was certainly an improvement from where he left off at the Miami Open presented by Itau, losing his opener to Frenchman Benoit Paire. The Serbian, however, had laid the foundation for another record-breaking season.
In Miami, he played pain-free for the first time in nearly two and a half years, and in Monte-Carlo, he reunited with longtime coach Marian Vajda. Djokovic reached the Fever-Tree Championships final and won Wimbledon in July to show the tennis world he was back.
He'd climb from No. 22 to No. 1 to finish at the pinnacle of the year-end ATP Rankings for the fifth time (2011, 2012, 2014, 2015, 2018).

5. Zverev Started Where He Left Off On Clay
Zverev didn't take home another Masters 1000 title on clay, but the German was showing close to his best level as the European clay-court season began. Zverev made the semi-finals in Monte-Carlo (l. to Nishikori) and improved to 17-7 on the season.
He'd bring that form the rest of the clay-court stretch as well. Zverev repeated as champion at the BMW Open By FWU in Munich, won his third Masters 1000 title at the Mutua Madrid Open (d. Thiem) and made his first Grand Slam quarter-final at Roland Garros.

Rafael Nadal's History In Monte-Carlo

Spoiler:

The Spaniard is an 11-time champion at the event
In 2003, Rafael Nadal won two matches at the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters as a 16-year-old. Ever since, the Spaniard has dominated at the first ATP Masters 1000 clay-court tournament of the season.

Nadal has triumphed in Monaco 11 times, one of three events (also Barcelona & Roland Garros) at which the lefty has lifted that many trophies. The 32-year-old arrives this year trying to make more history, pursuing a record 12th crown.

Fast Facts
- By defeating Kei Nishikori in last year’s Monte-Carlo final, Nadal became the first man in the Open Era to win 11 titles at a single tournament. He would later earn 11th crowns at Barcelona and Roland Garros.

- Nadal won 46 straight matches in Monte-Carlo from 2005-13, a record for consecutive victories at a single tournament.

- Of his 11 triumphs at this ATP Masters 1000 tournament, Nadal has not dropped a set on five occasions.

- Nadal has not lost a match against Roger Federer (3-0), Andy Murray (3-0), Stan Wawrinka (2-0) or Dominic Thiem (2-0) in Monte-Carlo.

- From 2006-08, Nadal defeated Federer in three consecutive Monte-Carlo finals, winning seven of eight sets against the Swiss star.

Five Nadal Stats From Monte-Carlo
First Match: 2003, Nadal def. Karol Kucera 6-1, 6-2

First Title: 2005, Nadal def. Guillermo Coria 6-3, 6-1, 0-6, 7-5

Record: 68-4

Top 10 record : 22-3

6-0 Sets Won: 11

Most Recent Appearance: 2018
Nadal arrived in Monaco having won 10 consecutive matches at the clay-court ATP Masters 1000 tournament. But the Spaniard had not played a tournament since the Australian Open due to a hip injury.

That didn’t matter for Nadal, as he stormed to his 11th crown in Monte-Carlo, triumphing at the prestigious event without dropping a set. On average, Nadal lost just two games per set en route to his victory.

Seed at the 2019 Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters: No. 2

Did You Know?
Nadal is the only competitor from the 2003 Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters who was directly accepted into this year's main draw.
