Nadal w miarę przyzwoitej formie hebluje tylko z Djoko, niezależnie od tego co powie przed meczem. A w tym spotkaniu cała presja jest na Fedzie, niezależnie od tego co powiedzą Nadal i Mats.robpal pisze:Rozumiem, że Nadal jak powie dwa zdania dziennikarzom, to nagle czuję się lekki jak sarenka, w ogóle się nie denerwuje i nie czuje presji?
U bukmacherów Federer faworytem (niedużym, ale zauważalnym),

Ja, Robertinho, Robpal już jesteśmy. Czekamy na pozostałych, Aniu?

Down Under Diary - Laver Returns For 50th Anniversary Of 1962 Grand Slam
Melbourne, Australia
Rod Laver, the 1962 and 1969 Grand Slam champion,
arrived in Melbourne on Monday.
ATPWorldTour.com takes a look at the news and talking points at the Australian Open on the second Wednesday.
LAVER, 50 YEARS ON...
Rod Laver is visiting Melbourne Park to celebrate the 50th anniversary of his first calendar year Grand Slam in 1962. He won all four major championships again in 1969 and remains the last man to complete the feat. The Australian, nicknamed the 'Rockhampton Rocket', admitted, "The toughest one was probably 1962. When I look back at '69, it was tough, too... [and] the most satisfying because I had all the players in the world were open and playing."
Speaking on ESPN television, Roger Federer asked Laver, "Do you remember who you played in those years?" Laver did. "[Ken] Rosewall was my toughest opponent," Laver told Federer. "He wasn't big and tall, but consistent. We had wooden rackets and you couldn't just hit winners all over the place. It looks like you and Rafa [Nadal] have such energetic matches. You must enjoy it. That only comes when you know each other so well."
Laver, a winner of 11 major singles titles, also met Federer's semi-final opponent Rafael Nadal. "The whole cycle has changed for the good," the 73 year old said on a rooftop garden overlooking the outer courts. "Tennis [today] is just unbelievable. What I saw last night – Federer beating Juan Martin del Potro – and being able to see the winner [of the title] is going to walk away with $2m, is great for the sport."
TOP FOUR ON "ANOTHER LEVEL"
David Ferrer believes the Top 4 in the South African Airways ATP Rankings - Novak Djokovic, Nadal, Federer and Andy Murray - are a lot better than their rivals. Speaking after his loss to Djokovic, the Spaniard said, "I think the top four players are better than the other ones. I don't think [the gap can be closed]. Last year, the top four players played all the finals [at] the Grand Slams and this year they are doing again. I think the top four is another level."
When asked for his views on the subject, Djokovic said, "The last five Grand Slams [has been] us playing in the semi-finals. People don't realise how difficult that is. It's not easy to get to the semi-finals, even though we're expected to. There's a lot of competitive players out there, a lot of players who are very motivated to win against all of us. So I guess that makes [our] success even bigger.
"We have this probably mental strength and advantage. We have that self belief on the court, playing in the finals of the majors several times [and] winning some majors, especially Roger and Rafa. It's just a different approach, a different feel about being on the centre stage when you're playing somebody that hasn't had that experience. So that counts, let's say, as your advantage."
MURRAY PRAISES NISHIKORI
Murray praised Kei Nishikori after he beat the Japanese player in the quarter-finals. "I think he's improved his all court game," said Murray. "I think he's volleying better. I think he is a clever player on the court. He's quick. I like the way he plays. I practiced with him a lot when I was younger. He's a very good player.
"I think he just needs to keep doing what he's been doing the last five or six months. I've seen him working hard in Brisbane, and even here as well. He's playing the best tennis of his career."
NISHIKORI DELIGHTED WITH RANKINGS HIKE
Nishikori expressed his delight at the news he will break into the Top 20 of the South African Airways ATP Rankings on Monday. "That's exciting news for me because my first goal was to get to the Top 20," said Nishikori. "I can't believe it's already done, already [within] two months. Yeah, it was a fantastic week for me. Now try to get [into the] Top 15 or something like that."
Nishikori believes his best is yet to come. "Physically you have to get to 25 or 26 years old to build the body. It's different than other countries. Of course, a lot of more [growing]. But I was happy that I wasn't too tired to get here. I'm really happy how my physical [conditioning] is now. I had a good off-season last year. Of course to win a grand slam I have to be more fit."
ANOTHER FEDERER MILESTONE
Federer's 1000th singles match on the ATP World Tour came with another milestone. He won his 2000th set when he took the opening set of his quarter-final match against del Potro. "[It's] a lot of milestones. [I'm a] roadrunner," said Federer, when informed of the fact at the post-match press conference. Federer went onto admit that though he had 1000 matches under his belt, he still occasionally lost sleep before a big game, though not just because of nerves. "It's more the girls than the opponent," he said with a laugh. "It does occasionally happen, yes."
LAVER ON AUSTRALIAN TENNIS
When asked about the state of Australian tennis, Laver said, "Lleyton [Hewitt] has been a great credit to Australian tennis. He's a fighter. The Australian public like [to see] effort when they're watching a match. I think Lleyton pulled off some unbelievable matches in his career, even the other night when he took a set off [Novak] Djokovic. No one was thinking that that was possible. But at 30 or 31, he's had a great career. He had to do it with his legs. I think after a while it's tough. But he's not a tall man, so he has to work from the baseline.
"Bernard Tomic certainly has the potential, I believe. If he's prepared to put the effort in, learn more about the game, practise and practise and practise, all of a sudden something clicks. That puts him in another level. Also [if you get] lucky wins. [It] doesn't matter how you win, sometimes you improve overnight a lot of people say. But that's where it happens. I watched Wimbledon [last year], saw him play some great matches there."
48,000 TENNIS BALLS
During the Australian Open some 48,000 tennis balls are used each year. Heavy-duty felt is used in the manufacturing of the balls, which are optic yellow in colour, for greater visibility, for the players, the fans watching in the stands and a global television audience.

Zanim przejdziemy do zwycięzcy, trochę o Top-4.robpal pisze:Swoją drogą, nie mam nic przeciwko temu, żeby turniej wygrał Murray. Przez 5 lat mieliśmy w zasadzie dwóch zawodników walczących o najwyższe cele, rok temu dołączył Serb i kolejny zawodnik potrafiący wygrywać Szlemy to tylko dobre wieści dla nas
A i owszem. Dziękuje za miłe słowa. Odkryłem ich wiele bo w przeciwieństwie do Ciebie regularnie oglądam futersy i czelendżery. Nie nie odejdzie z płaczem, ale za to Klaunovic już się może zaopatrzyć w dodatkową parę chusteczek. Będą mu potrzebne aby po meczu otrzeć łzy bezradności.Kubecki pisze:A co jak Murray znowu odjedzie z płaczem łowco talentów?
W sumie ciekawie się żłożyło, że w końcu mamy w Szlemie 1/2 Top 4 w innym rozkładzie jak do tej pory (jak nie możemy mieć innych zawodników, to chociaż tyle dobrze że w innej konfiguracji). Ciekawy jestem przebiegu meczu Murraya z Djokiem. Mimo że Serb jest nr. 1 i ma za sobą genialny sezon, to uważam że Andy ma większe szanse na jego ogranie, niż w starciach z Nadalem czy Federerem.
Za to Maryś nie będzie potrzebować chusteczek, mamusia Judy pocieszy niespełniony talentJames_007_Blake pisze: Będą mu potrzebne aby po meczu otrzeć łzy bezradności.
