nee, maar pas vorige week met je voorbereiding beginnen en duitse competie spelen in plaats van een grastoernooi helpt dan niet.quote:
sowieso werd bertens me iets te veel gehyped na haar uiterst gelukkige 4de ronde resultaat in parijs. volgens marcella mesker zou onze 'blonde serena' zich wel even kwalificeren voor wimbledon. alsof het niks is. zo werkt het dus niet. wellicht heeft bertens het zelf ook onderschat gezien haar late voorbereiding.

Nee, het enige wat zeker is dat #1 helemaal bovenaan het schema staat en #2 helemaal onderaan.quote:
Kan het noob tennis topic niet vinden dus even hier: komen alle even nummers vd plaatsinglijst bij elkaar in de speelhelft en alle oneven nummers in de andere helft?
Daarna gaan ze loten. #3 en #4 worden verspreid over de twee helften, #5, #6, #7, #8 worden verspreid over de vier kwarten etc.
Je kunt dus een helft hebben met #1, #3, #5, #6, maar ook #1, #4, #7, #8.
Het enige wat dus zeker is, is dat Djokovic en Nadal elkaar pas in de finale kunnen treffen.

Mijn overgroot-opa vertelde afgelopen weekend overigens nog geamuseerd over de finale van 1881 waarvoor zijn vader kaartjes had gekocht en dagen met de boot en vervolgens paard & wagen onderweg was geweest: een finale die gewonnen werd met 6-0, 6-1, 6-1

Vind het logisch wat hij over Nadal zegt, maar ik vind hem wel heel erg optimistisch over zijn eigen kansen. Hij doet alsof hij 'the man to beat is'. Ik ben er op zichzelf blij mee dat hij zo positief is, maar ik vraag me af hoe reëel het is.
Nadal zit nu al in zijn hoofd. Ik denk dat hij er zelf snel vanaf gaat en anders wel tegen Nadal. En is Djoko niet 'the man to beat' hier dit jaar?quote:

Dat denk ik ook. Maar is denk ik vooral zo dat Nadal kwetsbaar is in de eerste twee rondes. Dat zijn waarschijnlijk ook niet voor niets de rondes waarin de enorme verrassingen vaak plaatsvinden (is Becker, Hewitt (als titelverdediger), Sampras, Federer en Nadal overkomen.quote:

THANK YOUquote:Haase: 'Ik ben klaar met Nederlandse media'
Gepubliceerd: 23 juni 2014 20:21 | Laatst gewijzigd: 23 juni 2014 20:27
Robin Haase heeft maandag op Wimbledon na zijn gewonnen wedstrijd tegen Vasek Pospisil uitgehaald naar de Nederlandse media.
"Ik ben er klaar mee. Ik word meer dan tachtig procent van de keren verkeerd geciteerd in al die jaren dat ik actief ben als tennisser”, stelt de Hagenaar.
"Het gaat bij de media nooit meer om het spel, maar alleen om randzaken proberen te verzinnen om maar een mooi stuk te schrijven en mij af te kraken.”
Haase heeft na Roland Garros besloten een andere houding aan te gaan nemen tegenover de media.
"In Parijs ging het weer helemaal nergens over. Journalisten schreven alleen maar over die discussie met de scheidsrechter. In het buitenland zou geschreven worden dat het een blunder is van de scheidsrechter en bij mij ben ik altijd degene die door het lint gaat. Het gaat nergens over."
"Ik heb al een aantal keer geen interviews gegeven en nu geef ik gewoon korte saaie antwoorden waar niemand wat aan heeft. Dat is voor mij niet leuk en voor de pers niet leuk, maar het is niet anders.”
Pospisil
Haase wilde nog wel even ingaan op zijn knappe zege in vier sets tegen Pospisil. "Ik ben blij dat ik heb gewonnen. Het was goed genoeg gelukkig. Ik heb goed geserveerd en ik gaf hem weinig kansen. Die kreeg ik ook niet van hem. Ik kreeg er in de loop van de wedstrijd wel iets meer en die heb ik gepakt. Dat was het verschil vandaag.”
"Ik was het meest tevreden over het feit dat ik er constant in bleef hangen. Ik speelde niet heel super, dat kwam door zijn goed opslag, maar ik bleef op de juiste momenten rustig."
Simon
Haase treft in de tweede ronde de Fransman Gilles Simon. "Dat is een hele andere speler dan Pospisil. Hij serveert best wel goed, ook al zou je dat niet denken. Simon slaat heel vlak en wil de rally’s vanaf de baseline spelen."
"Het zal een moeilijke opgave worden om te winnen. Normaal staat hij geplaatst, maar nu niet. In dat opzicht is het een pittige ronde, zeker omdat ik net van iemand heb gewonnen die geplaatst is."
Het maakte Haase niet uit dat hij door zijn partij de wedstrijd van het Nederlands elftal tegen Chili miste. "Dat is op dit moment totaal niet belangrijk voor me. Ik focus me op het tennis hier.”

*5-4 Tsonga in de vijfde set.Er staat 'Match suspended'. Het is daar natuurlijk ook pas 20.13 u. dus ze zouden nog wel even moeten kunnen doorspelen. Snap eigenlijk niet dat Melzer klaagt over invallende duistersnis als het nog iets van anderhalf uur licht genoeg is om te spelen.
Het leek erop dat ze de zeilen van de baan gingen halen.
Maar kennelijk leggen ze ze alleen wat beter neer. Waarom ben ik eigenlijk de enige die hier nu post? [ Bericht 19% gewijzigd door Federer-fan op 23-06-2014 21:20:08 ]
Murray precies hetzelfde tegen Alberto Martin op de AO in 2007 (6-0 6-0 6-1), verloor die ene game geloof ik bij 5-0.quote:

Klizan is wel een gravelspeler. Maar ik ben ook niet gerust op dit toernooi voor Nadal met zijn zware loting (In het ergste geval: Klizan -> Rosol -> Karlovic -> Gasquet -> Raonic -> Federer -> Djokovic).quote:
