To, że Trump usilnie zabiegał o to, by być w boksie Clijsters podczas finału USO, to też fake news?

Nie wiem, ale jeśli to prawda to ma całkiem niezły gust tenisowy

Nie wiem, ale jeśli to prawda to ma całkiem niezły gust tenisowy

Nie tyle gusta się liczą, co łatwy lans. On wie, że są takie miejsca i czas, w których ważne to być. Jak na meczu sióstr w 2015, gdzie jeden piszący tu kiedyś forumowicz mi świadkiem, że przedstawiłem mu już wtedy przyszłego prezydenta.

Clijsters dała mu kosza i powiedziała, żeby poszedł sobie do Woźniackiej.

All-Swiss Final: Federer Advances To Face Stan In Indian Wells

Spoiler:

Countrymen will meet for the 23rd time
Roger Federer will face Stan Wawrinka in an all-Swiss final at the BNP Paribas Open after defeating Jack Sock 6-1, 7-6(4) in Saturday’s second semi-final in Indian Wells.
The 35-year-old Federer is through to his seventh final at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden and is looking to win the title for the fifth time, adding to his victories in 2004 (d. Henman), 2005 (d. Hewitt), 2006 (d. Blake) and 2012 (d. Isner).
Federer will bid to win his 25th ATP World Tour Masters 1000 crown and 90th tour-level title overall. He takes a 19-3 FedEx ATP Head2Head rivalry lead over Wawrinka into the final and has won their past three meetings, including a five-set battle in the Australian Open semi-finals in January.
“He does a really nice job of defending and then creating, going from defense to offense. He's improved his serve. Especially as he goes deeper in the tournament, his confidence builds. That's when he's harder to stop,” Federer said. “I have variation. I have an offensive mindset that's in my DNA. Sometimes for a player like Stan, he likes to have a bit more time and I can maybe rush him. But we'll see if that's possible tomorrow.”
Federer’s backhand was telling as he raced past long-time rival Rafael Nadal in the fourth round earlier in the week, and Federer dominated from the baseline again against Sock, rolling back the years to claim victory in 74 minutes.

A rifling backhand winner from Federer did lasting damage in the fourth game, as Sock then netted a smash and double faulted to lose serve to love and trail 1-3. A potent forehand winner from Federer gave the Basel native a double break lead at 5-1 as he cruised to a one-set lead.
A bathroom break for Sock at the end of the first set settled the American, and he fended off a break point in the seventh game to stay close on serve with Federer, ultimately forcing a tie-break. Sock sparked hope for his fans as he hit a backhand winner for a 3-1 lead. But Federer immediately pegged him back and went on to win six of the next seven points to triumph for the third time in three FedEx ATP Head2Head meetings with Sock.
“I definitely played great in the first set. I came out and really saw the ball well... The second set was more like what I expected the first set to be, to be quite honest, before the match. It was hard to break and return well off Jack's heavy serve,” Federer said. “Things got a bit more complicated, but it was definitely a good feeling to get through in two sets and to be back in another final here.”

Federer has yet to lose serve during the tournament, saving the only break point he has faced against Nadal. He was granted a walkover through the quarter-finals, when Nick Kyrgios withdrew on Friday due to illness, and had spent just three hours and 33 minutes on court coming into the semi-finals, compared to Sock’s eight hours and 32 minutes.
Sock saved four match points in a third-round victory over Grigor Dimitrov and was two points from defeat in a tense fourth-round round battle with Malek Jaziri. He advanced to his first ATP World Tour Masters 1000 semi-final by claiming his first Top 5 win over Kei Nishikori in another three-set contest on Friday.
“I have a clear picture of what I want to do when I go out on court... I'm going to go out and play on my terms, win or lose. If I win, it's amazing, move on to the next round. If I lose, I'm OK with going out and playing how I want to play,” Sock said. “In the past, I'd be going out and if I lost, it'd be because the other guy got in my way or got in my head. Now I feel like I'm going out and playing relaxed, calm tennis, but on my terms.”
The 35-year-old Federer has returned to the tour in remarkable fashion in 2017, having missed the second half of last season due to injury. He beat Wawrinka and Nadal in back-to-back five-set contests to win his 18th Grand Slam championship at the Australian Open and has stormed through to the final in Indian Wells without dropping a set. The only blemish on his 2017 record was a second-round loss to World No. 116 Evgeny Donskoy in the Dubai second round two weeks ago.

Zwycięzca finału zostanie najstarszym mistrzem IW w historii. Federer (35 lat, 7 miesięcy) i Wawrinka (31 lat, 11 miesięcy) są starsi od zwyciężcy z 1984 roku, Connorsa (31 lat, 5 miesięcy).

Się przeciągnie. Finał kobiecy + dekoracja. Podejrzewam, że chwilę przed 22 Panowie wyjdą na kort.

[Robertinho]

Przydałoby się chyba solidne lanie od Stana, bo widzę coraz więcej odlotów w kosmos w różnych miejscach.

[Rroggerr]

Stasiu to chyba najlepszy gracz bez mastersa na hardzie, mam nadzieję, że ogarnie, bo jednak mu się należy.

[noname007x]

Jak dla mnie to ciężko cokolwiek tutaj przewidzieć. Z przebiegu turnieju Federer wydaje się być faworytem, jednak Wawrinka potrafi grać swój najlepszy tenis, właśnie w takich spotkaniach. Stawiam 2-1 dla Rogera.

[Wujek Toni]

Trudno przewidzieć, jak potoczy się dzisiejszy finał. Niby na betonie Roger ze Stasiem nie przegrywa, ale kilka ostatnich spotkań to były ciężkie boje do ostatniego punktu. Z tego co słyszałem, Wawrinka w Kalifornii wcale nie błyszczy, a jego obecność w finale to zasługa bardzo ulgowej drabinki. Niemniej nie można go na tym etapie turnieju lekceważyć, bo pokazał wielokrotnie, że w meczu o tytuł potrafi wykrzesać z siebie absolutne maksimum. Jestem bardzo umiarkowanym optymistą, tym niemniej zwycięstwo Wawrzonki ani trochę mnie nie zaskoczy. Generalnie kibicowałbym mu w tym meczu przeciwko każdemu oprócz Papy.

Weźcie już skończcie z tą asekuracją. Wejdzie tu jakiś świeżak, poczyta i pomyśli, że w tym wypadku rzeczywiście można przedmeczowe szanse rozkładać równo albo prawie równo. Później się dziwią, że nie ma nowych ludzi na forum. Przecież Wawrinka nie potrafił porządnie przycisnąć zdechłego Feda w australijskim deciderze. Koszmarny, nudny i jednostronny matchup. Trudno o mniej interesujące zestawienie w obecnym top10. Może coś z udziałem Cilicia albo Tsongi.

[matek20]

Ehh, już prawie 2 miesiące po 18 triumfie, a tu asekuracja pełną parą.
Dziadek rozwalił Rafe kilka dni temu, a wy się boicie Wawrinki, który wygrywał z Federerem tylko grając mecze życia. A jeżeli chodzi o bilans od AO 2014 gdy to Wawrinka wygrał szlema, 6-2 Federer, w tym 4-0 na hardzie.

Tak jak wszedł przed finałem AO i przyjął, że na 100% wygra go Rafa.

To raczej nauczka po AO niż asekuracja. Wynik tego meczu jest mi kompletnie obojętny, bo lubię obu.

Matek, na przestrzeni ostatnich 1,5-2 (?) lat Wawrinka gra jednak lepiej od Nadala.

[Barty]

Garść statystyk przed dzisiejszym finałem.

Roger na razie bronił 1 bp w drodze do finału (pierwszy gem z Nadalem). W ostatnim wygranym przez niego M1000 - Cincy 2015 - nie stracił swojego podania przez cały turniej.

• The BNP Paribas Open championship on Sunday is an all-Swiss match-up between No. 3 seed Stan Wawrinka,and No. 9 seed Roger Federer. It is the first all-countrymen final in Indian Wells since 2001 when Andre Agassi defeated Pete Sampras. There have been four other all-American finals in the tournament’s 42-year history. Federer comes into his seventh Indian Wells final without losing a set or serve. Wawrinka is making his first appearance in the Indian Wells final. This is the oldest combined final in tournament history between Federer (35y, 7m) and Wawrinka (31y, 11m). The winner will become the oldest champion in tournament history, surpassing Jimmy Connors (31y, 5m), who captured the title in 1984.

• Federer owns a 19-3 head-to-head record, including 14-0 on hard courts. Federer won the two previous meetings here in 2011 QF (63 64) and 2013 4R (63 67 75). Wawrinka won the only final between the two at ATP Masters 1000 Monte-Carlo in 2014. Wawrinka’s other two wins also came on clay at 2009 Monte-Carlo and 2015 Roland Garros, his last win. Federer has won the past three meetings, the last coming in a five-set semi-final at the Australian Open in January. The other all-Swiss ATP World Tour final came in 2000 Marseille as Marc Rosset beat Federer in a third set TB.
• Federer is trying to claim his record-tying fifth Indian Wells title (w/Djokovic), 25th ATP
Masters 1000 crown and 90th overall title in his career. He won titles here in 2004-05-06 and 2012 while reaching finals in 2014-15. At 35, Federer is trying to become the oldest player to win an ATP Masters 1000 title. Andre Agassi was 34y, 3m, when he won in Cincinnati in 2004. Federer’s last ATP Masters 1000 title came in Cincinnati in 2015, two weeks after turning 34. He won that tournament without getting broken (held 49 service games). Federer has held all 37 service games (saving one break point vs. Nadal in 4R). He is 12-1 on the season, including 5-0 vs. Top 10 opponents, his best showing to start the year since 2004 when he went 18-0 and finished No. 1. Federer will move from No. 10 to No. 7 in the Emirates ATP Rankings on Monday and if he wins the title, will move to No. 6. Federer is also trying to become the fourth two-time champion on the ATP World Tour this season. The others are: Grigor Dimitrov, Jack Sock and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.

• Wawrinka is appearing in his fourth ATP Masters 1000 final (1-2), the first in the U.S. His lone ATP Masters 1000 title came in Monte-Carlo in 2014. Overall, he is 15-10 in career finals and his only previous final/title in the U.S. came at last year’s US Open where he defeated No. 1 Djokovic in the final for his third Grand Slam crown. Wawrinka has dropped two sets in five matches en route to the final, in wins over [LL} Nishioka in 4R and [8] Thiem in QF, both in third-set tie-breaks.

• Three of the Big Four (except Murray) have accounted for 12 of the past 13 Indian Wells titles going back to 2004 when Federer captured the first of his four titles (2004-06, 2012). Overall a Top 5 player in the Emirates ATP Rankings has lifted the champion’s trophy in 15 of the past 16 years, except 2010 when No. 26 Ivan Ljubicic won the title. Ljubicic is Federer’s coach.
