Posted by 24 April, 2009 (0) Comment

There will be no margin for error, “he had said nothing more to end the hopes of the Spanish Nicolas Almagro.” Rafa, apart from a friend, is a great competitor. The first fight to the last ball and not give up ever. I make sure my game and attack. If you do not play a high level, will have no chance, “David Nalbandian is defined, possibly one of the few rivals that can hurt Nadal on clay. And what he said was not only a reminder to himself, but for future sailors. But the story changed a few minutes …

Those who took part from a medical review on the body of the Argentine, who detected a misplaced his right hip inflammation and its consequent low. Nalbandian, 15th in the ATP series of head and No. 7 in this edition of Godó, threw the racket and found that the Mallorcan colándose end in the semifinals of the least you can taste a real sportsman.
Rest.

So Rafa will now face off before his semifinal tomorrow, which will respond to the winner of a clash between two reputable Earthlings: Davidenko Russian and Czech Stepanek.

Yesterday, indeed, the world number one had his debut in a friendly match, a little more than training. This time Nadal was the sparring of the Belgian Christophe Rochus, who left by the wayside in a plisplás by 6-2 and 6-0. In less than an hour, half of what it takes to Rafa your workouts. In short, a tour which will run today by the forced leave was granted to David Nalbandian.

Raikkonen returned to Ferrari to pole position

Posted by 11 March, 2009 Comments Off

The last training session Kimi Raikkonen before the start of the World in Australia, he served the Finnish pilot to put Ferrari in the right place that would seem to merit. Raikkonen has managed the best time (1m 20.3 s) and has proved that his Ferrari car is stronger and faster than those in the circuit of Montmeló. The wave of training will conclude on Thursday, but the former world champion is not going to jump on the car on a circuit to Melbourne. Ferrari not train next week in Jerez, and from tomorrow will enter liza Felipe Massa.

“To me, Ferrari is the car that offers better benefits,” said Jarno Trulli, Toyota driver. “I think it goes a little ahead of everyone else. I have doubts about what is happening in Renault: I do not understand that the car works in the hands of Alonso and times when you can not drive Piquet. And I think that McLaren has a problem in these moments, but for sure it will solve the first race of the World. ”

Feelings of Trulli are circulating in the paddock. Fernando Alonso had to settle for the eighth best time (1m 21.9 s) a day, more than half a second and the Finn. However, the Spanish driver did not seem overly worried. “We have tried many things, but the car works,” he insisted. The Spanish still excited for the tournament and was convinced that at least you can fight for the podium. In the team hinted that there are still many unknown elements in the factory that will not be added until next week at Jerez, the last test before Melbourne Renault.

However, other teams suffer more. McLaren is the most flagrant. Montmeló were reproduced in the problems of recent days in Jerez last week. Internal sources of the team hinted that there is a problem with the diffuser that affects the whole train back. They lack grip and are also changing the rear wing to try and find a solution. Because they still have time be in Jerez next week, and with the contribution of Pedro de la Rosa, piecework in the simulator in Woking.

Montmeló is also surprising in the performance of ex-Honda GP Brawn, who returned yesterday to be among the best. Barrichello was third, surpassed only by Raikkonen and the Williams of Nakajima. Toyota and BMW are still in an excellent line and scenarios are emerging as rivals Ferrari and McLaren.

Neither gave Madrid a point with his serve throughout the set, resolved in favor of the local team in the seventh game. Mike Bryan, the less endowed her partner for the service, delivered his kick after a volley at the net and sending over Fish.

Verdasco and Feliciano, routine since 2004, champions the same year in Stockholm, reduced their level of success in the service and Bryan, great for the rest, efficient in the volley and in each of his movements, a dancer on the ‘clay’ of Madrid, reversed the situation to seize the first sign of weakness Verdasco with his serve.

A new error of togetherness. Feliciano gave out their service for the first time in the first game of the fourth race. The point of double departed almost definitively until a double lack of Bryan, a poor volley of Fish and other gnadora Lopez returned the balance to the marker.

Spain then saved a point of ‘break’ and the second consecutive noted in its favor, this time with Fish in the service. The break, achieved at the seventh attempt with a direct rest of Verdasco, partially closed the quarter with a sign other than the planned and led the decisive duel to September.

Far from wrinkle to an insane and some tier rivals reinforced by the comeback, Bryan Fish, and Verdasco forced to save three balls to ‘break’ in the first game’s outcome. And it was Verdasco, in the fifth game after a long volley of Feliciano, who relinquished his serve again.

Despite showing a greater flair for the game, the irregularity of the Spanish duo finally swing the balance of the U.S. side. Spain maintained a lead of 2-1 in the tie. The responsibility of adding the third point, the final in the knockout is now up to Rafael Nadal. The world number one was measured at Andy Roddick (3-2 in favor of Spanish) on Sunday at 12.00.

New York .- scorched Federer. With a endiablé pace, as if it were a hurry to settle the game and going up to the network even at rest, the Swiss took to street to its fifth consecutive Open Andy Murray and recovered by far the wake of invincible who lost to Nadal in Wimbledon. [Narrative and statistics]

Just over two hours needed to defeat Federer in three sets (6-2, 7-5, 6-2) a game that was theirs from start to finish. Only there was a slight inflection in the second set, when Murray timidly regained his place on the runway and pulled the sleeve of the same repertoire that the previous day before Nadal.

Federer pressed the accelerator at the key moment, with 5-4 in their favour in the second round and Murray in the service. The Swiss decided to climb to the network nothing else to dispatch the rest and put pressure on the Scots the unsustainable was unable to escape. Liquidation set with a prodigious blow parallel endorsed him and then a final game that left blank the party seen to judgement.

The Swiss was a real hurricane in the third set. He seemed to fly over the track and take advantage of attrition which showed his rival, which still forces pulled out of weakness like that ‘drive’ crossed with which forced a final ‘break’ in the minutes discount. Murray finally broke the final service of his rival and saved the estertores honors in the third set (6-2).

But Federer was much Federer, so fearsome (almost) as to remove the rest. Remate slaughter with two consecutive mates and with a final burst of euphoria comparable to those of very Nadal (and a smile diablillo red before the camera which said everything about the state of grace and happiness).

Already he had been warned days earlier: we are keen to win this trophy and be reunited with himself in the fast track of Arthur Ashe. The stadium vibrates as ever with his game and celebrated his birthday as if it were the fifth and open its thirteenth consecutive Grand Slam (one of the only record of Pete Sampras).
Five Wimbledon, five U.S. Open

In any event, Federer became the first tennis player yesterday in history to win five times consecutively between the two great big: Flushing Meadows and Wimbledon.

“It’s unbelievable,” confessed the Swiss to open microphone. “It’s a very special moment in my career, this means a lot to me, especially after the recent tournaments in which I have not been able to reach the finals.” “It would be terrible to stay in the 13 Grand Slam is a little worrying,” she admitted between laughs. “But behind a group of very strong players who are playing very well, as demonstrated by Andy (in this tournament).”

Until own Andy Murray, who disputa his first final of a Grand Slam, surrendered to the evidence and broke into praise and smiling in the brief exchange of views that the two remained in the network immediately after the match. The Scots seemed satisfied at the end with a mission rather than merit-not losing a game with white-taking into account the dimension of Swiss sobrehumana at its best reincarnation before the American public.

“I’ve played before Federer the best I’ve ever seen,” admitted Murray to open microphone. “My conclusion, after what is seen that much still remains for me if I want to win a trophy this.”
