- Roger Federer to tenis. Jest w stanie zrobić, co tylko zechce. To wydaje się dla niego takie łatwe. Jest moim idolem. Novak Djoković to maszyna - powiedział Matteo Berrettini, półfinalista US Open 2019.

Tenis. Novak Djoković podjął się wyzwania Andy'ego Murraya. Serb odbijał wolejami z żoną (wideo)
Matteo Berrettini (ATP i jego dziewczyna Ajla Tomljanović rozmawiali na Instagramie z Chris Evert, zdobywczynią 18 wielkoszlemowych tytułów. - Moja rodzina ją kocha. Doceniam relacje, które Ajla z nią zbudowała - wyjawił 23-letni Berrettini, cytowany przez ubitennis.net.
Włoch mówił o swoim uwielbieniu dla Rogera Federera, z którym ma bilans meczów 0-2. W ubiegłym sezonie przegrał z Szwajcarem w IV rundzie Wimbledonu (1:6, 2:6, 2:6) i w fazie grupowej ATP Finals (6:7, 3:6).

- Roger to tenis. Jest w stanie zrobić, co tylko zechce. Wszystko wydaje się dla niego takie łatwe. To mój idol, Mogę o nim mówić przez dwa lata. Wygląda na to, że taki się urodził - stwierdził Berrettini.

Włoch mówił też o innych gigantach męskiego tenisa, Novaku Djokoviciu i Rafaelu Nadalu. Z Serbem jedyny raz zmierzył się w fazie grupowej ATP Finals 2019 i zdobył trzy gemy (2:6, 1:6). Z Hiszpanem również miał okazję rozegrać jedno spotkanie (6:7, 4:6, 1:6 w półfinale US Open 2019).

- Novak to maszyna. Dla mnie jest najgorszym rywalem do grania. Pamiętam, że zmierzyłem się z nim w Londynie w ATP Finals, w drugim secie trafiłem 70 procent pierwszych serwisów i przegrałem go 1:6. Nie byłem w stanie utrzymać serwisu. Djoković ma niesamowity return. Jego bekhend jest znakomity - ocenił Berrettini.

- Intensywność Nadala jest niesamowita. Dla niego nie ma znaczenia wynik, czy jest 5:0 czy 0:5 - kontynuował Włoch. Dalej mówił o koronawirusie i szansach na wznowienie gry jeszcze w tym roku.

- Nie jestem optymistą, jeśli chodzi o wznowienie turniejów latem. Europa i Stany Zjednoczone przeżywają trudny czas. Obawiam się, że obecny sezon zostanie anulowany - powiedział Berrettini, który cały czas utrzymuje dobrą formę i codziennie trenuje.

Włoch w lutym ubiegłego roku znajdował się na 57. miejscu w rankingu, a zakończył go na ósmej pozycji. - Ten szybki awans mnie zaskoczył. Zmieniłem trening po odpadnięciu w pierwszej rundzie w Monte Carlo. Tytuł zdobyty przez Fabio Fogniniego dał mi dodatkową motywację do poprawiania mojego tenisa. Zdobyłem tytuły w Budapeszcie i Stuttgarcie oraz doszedłem do finału w Monachium - mówił.

- Nie spodziewałem się, że dojdę do półfinału US Open, a wcześniej dobrych wyników na trawie. Nie licząc meczu z Rogerem Federerem. Tamtego dnia byłem zbyt emocjonalnie nastawiony. Dziękuję mu za lekcję - dodał Włoch.

ATP and WTA legends chat on Instagram Live
For Stan Wawrinka, the debate on who the greatest player of all time is doesn’t need much of a discussion.

The Swiss dropped in for a lengthy conversation on Wednesday with Chris Evert via Instagram Live. Evert grilled Wawrinka on what it’s like to face the Big Three and he candidly admitted that his greatest difficulties have come in facing 20-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer.

“He’s the best player ever so far. He’s been winning everything, beating everybody. He’s better than the other players and better than me,” Wawrinka said. "His game is a completely different style. He puts you under pressure all the time, he’s so aggressive, changes [pace] a lot. For my style of play, that’s tougher than someone who keeps [hitting] the same ball.”

Wawrinka also had plenty of praise for Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic. He said that Nadal’s serve is one of the more underrated shots in the game and the heavy spin on it is further amplified on a clay court. The Swiss is 1-8 against Nadal on clay in their ATP Head2Head series, with all of those defeats coming in straight sets.

“I have difficulties to return the ball well because of the spin he hits and the lefty serve. He doesn’t have the best serve, but he makes it difficult for me and always puts me directly under pressure," Wawrinka said. "On clay, it’s impossible. Forget it.”

Evert took time to highlight Wawrinka’s three victories over Djokovic in Grand Slams from 2014-2016 during their discussion. But while the former World No. 3 in the FedEx ATP Rankings acknowledged that the Serbian is his preferred opponent among the Big Three, he still felt there was a gap between them and cited his record (6-19) in their ATP Head2Head rivalry as proof.

“Novak is the one in the Big Three that I like to play the most, even if I’ve lost to him many times. I play the best against him and have been lucky to peak against him in Grand Slams,” Wawrinka said. “I feel like I can keep my power with him for three, four or five hours. Those three times I beat him, I kept playing my game.

“[But] even after beating Rafa or Novak, they’re still way better than me. They’re still in a different category than me. I beat them one time here or there, but I know it’s a different league."

Although the modest Wawrinka downplayed himself against the Big Three, Evert called out his achievements that include 16 tour-level titles and 13 consecutive seasons inside the Top 20. The Swiss said he has no regrets about his career and would have been satisfied even without a trio of Grand Slam titles to his name.

“We’ve been in a difficult generation to win more because of the Big Three and Murray… I needed more time to be at my best. Some people might wonder why I didn’t win Grand Slams before [age 28], but It’s not about why. I’ve done it. For me, that’s the positive,” Wawrinka said. “I could have never done it, been Top 20 for the rest of my career and been super happy about it because I think it’s amazing to be in the Top 20.”

Rafael Nadal was hit with a string of injuries in 2016. Consequently, it concluded his hopes of clinching his 10th Roland Garros crown. During this low phase of his career, Nadal appointed Carlos Moya to his team. Eventually, Moya was successful in reviving his career.

Soon after that, Rafa stopped working with his uncle and longtime coach Toni Nadal. Also, he simultaneously trained with Francisco Roig who has been part of his team since 2005.

In a recent interview with Alex Corretja, Moya talked about working with legendary tennis player Nadal. “The deeper you are and the longer you are – you realize how admirable he (Rafael Nadal) is even more, what he is and does, it is hard for me to criticize Rafa, even when people say that he isn’t playing well and he loses, but I know he’s done his best,” Moya shared.
“A very important person in my career” – Rafael Nadal on Carlos Moya

Moya helped out Rafa when he needed it the most. The Spaniard ace believes Moya brought significant changes in his tennis career. Also, he’s the man behind the evolution of Nadal’s serve. Notably, Moya increased the winning percentage on his serves. Moreover, Rafa now aces more frequently than he used to before.

“To have someone like Carlos, who is not only a friend. But also a very important person in my career is something special,” Nadal stated in 2016. When he appointed Moya, Nadal was on his Slam-less streak since the 2014 French Open. But after Moya’s ingress in Rafa’s team, the Spaniard was successful in lifting up his 10th Paris Major crown. Thereafter, Nadal won four more Major titles while working in tandem with Moya.

Former French Open champion and World Number One, Moya continued to sing the praises of his unrivaled pupil, Rafael Nadal

“It’s impossible to criticize him, after all, he’s achieved but more than that, the attitude that he has every day. In each match, I am reassured in knowing that he’s gonna give everything and do his best. That you are going to have to kill him in order to beat him,” Moya added.
