World Tour Finals Day 3 的結果是
高的擊敗帥的,有經驗的打垮年輕的
Del Potro - Verdasco 6-4, 3-6, 7-6
Federer - Murray 3-6, 6-3, 6-1
強強對話都要打到第三盤的決勝盤,比戰技之外,也要比體力
地主寵兒Murray,一定是受到同齡好友寶貝的"嚴重"影響,
在這樣一場關鍵性,指標性,話題性如此強的賽事中
打了8個雙誤.....真的是"誤"人子弟呀!
(萬事萬物都存有平衡之道,只能說地主優勢,有時也等同地主劣勢,
端看人心在重要的每個瞬間如何轉化壓力為威力吧,當然球迷用說的都比較會(哈哈)......
當球員真的上場,還要看他們臨場如何發揮吧!)
是說,球迷原本在認真看一篇Timeonline今日(25日)的報導,因為發現,
原來一位東方球迷對於晚場的抱怨,竟然在當地也一樣"有效"的在"發酵"(*球迷知道這是誇張的說詞.)

Late show from Novak Djokovic and Nikolay Davydenko bad for public
There are far too many occasions in a brutal year when players do not lay their head on the pillow until three o’clock in the morning and the schedule for the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals has further flogged their flagging bodies.
It is the most blatant failure of a championships that has otherwise been faultless in presentation and promotion.
Even the last scheduled players’ boat, which departs from the pier by O2 arena and lands the stars on the jetty of their Thames-side hotel, had set sail by the time that Novak Djokovic — who defeated Nikolay Davydenko, of Russia, 3-6, 6-4, 7-5 in the second match of group B on Monday night — had competed for two hours and 47 minutes, had a massage and given a blessedly brief, seven-point press interview. “My confidence is there, my game is there, but physically, you can’t fight nature,” the Serbian world No 3 said.

Novak Djokovic: Joking apart
Sensational Serb’s game suffered badly in early 2009 until he decided to have the last laugh and started winning again
Just as the world’s greatest players have their signature shots, so too do they possess a trademark expression. Rafael Nadal employs that inquisitive, almost puzzled curl of the eyebrow. Andy Murray usually wavers somewhere between a grimace and a glower. Roger Federer? Simply tears. But of late, more often than not, Novak Djokovic is a portrait of self-contentment grinning the broadest of smiles.
The Djoker is happy again. His delighted countenance hasn’t always been on show this year but he begins the Barclays ATP World Tour finals as not only the form player, with titles from his past two tournaments and notable wins over Federer and Nadal, but also as the defending champion.
For the first half of 2009 he appeared confused, determined to mask his exuberant personality as a joker and mimic with a more serious and reserved approach. Such decisions are not unusual for somebody still trying to find his path in life, and Djokovic is just 22. Like many extroverts, he wanted to be funny when it suited him and not when anybody demanded a little levity. He ditched his impressions of players such as Andre Agassi, Federer, Nadal, Murray, Andy Roddick and Maria Sharapova.
No longer was he prepared to be the centre of attention at every extracurricular photo opportunity arranged for the top players. It was time for the new Novak, for somebody intent on letting his tennis do the talking and take precedence over all the tomfoolery. “For a number of reasons, I purposely shut the door on all that stuff,” he says. “I wanted people to see that all my life I had been serious and disciplined about my tennis, even if I enjoyed the things off the court that seemed to make people laugh. I thought I could achieve more if it was simply serious stuff and all focused on the tennis, but it didn’t work out because that wasn’t me at all.”
Three factors led to his change in demeanour. First was the negative reaction to his politics after he emphasised his solidarity with rioting Serbs who attacked the United States embassy in Belgrade last year in anger at Western support for Kosovo’s independence. Djokovic felt his stance was justified because most Serbs regard Kosovo as their religious and cultural heartland and the majority of his family hail from the disputed territory, but now it is a subject he refuses to discuss. Then he was booed off court by a 23,000-strong crowd at Flushing Meadows after using a post-quarter-final interview to berate Andy Roddick for comments the American made in jest about a perceived Djokovic catalogue of ailments.
Finally, and with some irony, there was his inability to finish January’s Australian Open quarter-final against Roddick when heat exhaustion in temperatures touching 36C led to cramp and forced Djokovic to relinquish the title. “Everybody makes mistakes and I made many,” he says. “I’m well aware of that. I have been through a lot of emotions but I have learnt, so in that respect I have been fortunate. Right now my hair is still black but it should be white after everything I went through.”
Djokovic is one of the more intelligent players on tour. His English is grammatically perfect and his vocabulary puts many to shame, but in addition he can also converse in Italian, German and French as well as his native Serbo-Croat. He reads avidly on a variety of topics, keeps abreast of world events and this year was the driving force behind his family setting up a tournament on the ATP World Tour after buying the rights to the faltering Dutch event in Amersfoort and relocating it to Belgrade.
Sports-wise, Djokovic seemed destined to be a top-flight skier. His father, uncle and aunt all competed professionally and his parents, Srdjan and Dijana, ran a mountainside restaurant and creperie in the resort of Kopaonik, three hours’ drive south of Belgrade. They still recall with amazement how four-year-old Novak was enthused when Croats arrived to build three tennis courts near the restaurant. He was forever asking to help, running errands, taking them food and beer. As soon the courts were ready he begged to be allowed to play on them. “I don’t know why but I guess I just felt it was the sport for me,” recalls Djokovic. “I begged my father to get me a little racket and I began watching tennis on TV. I suppose I knew about football and obviously skiing but this other sport took me over. Eventually I had lessons from a lady called Jelena Gencic, who had coached Goran Ivanisevic and Monica Seles as kids, and that was it for me. It was going to be tennis.”
Djokovic lives the tax exile lifestyle in Monte Carlo but his bond with his family remains deep-rooted. Only last weekend, his parents flew to Paris because the eldest of their three sons needed a little moral support when the threat of physical exhaustion seemed to be hampering his chance of overcoming Gael Monfils in the final of the BNP Paribas Masters. To their delight, Nole, as he is known to those closest to him, prevailed in three tough sets to take his run since losing to Federer in the US Open semi-final to 18 wins out of 19 matches, with three titles gathered on the way.
“I am extremely lucky in that I have people close to me who really care and help,” he says. “There was a time a few months ago when I really needed them. I was doubting myself, doubting what I was doing. I didn’t know what was right and what was wrong or, indeed, whether I should continue. Lots of things go through your mind when you are not confident. I tried to solve some things myself but at times like that you need the advice of those closest to you.”
Another main driver of Djokovic’s new mindset was an epic four-hour semi-final in Madrid a couple of weeks before the French Open in May, Nadal saving three match points before winning the third-set tiebreak. “I can admit now that after that match I experienced a little mental breakdown,” says Djokovic. “I was always brought up to think and act positively. I was so disappointed because I thought I’d played one of the best matches of my life and still lost. I felt it had happened too often. I realised something had to change, so I guess it was the days after that which made me realise I had to be myself again.”
The laughter soon returned. At the Canadian Masters 1000 Series event in August, players took part in a fashion show and Novak stripped down to his briefs on stage. Then, after a straightforward win over Radek Stepanek at the US Open, Djokovic was asked to do his John McEnroe impersonation. To the delight of the New York crowd that had booed him 12 months earlier, Djokovic did such a good job that McEnroe left the TV commentary booth and showed him how it was really done.
“It’s good again and I’m happy,” says the Serb. “All my life I have watched these great stars and tried to pick up something from their game and put it into mine. With Agassi it was the return, [Pat] Rafter or [Stefan] Edberg the volley, Ivanisevic the serve. [Pete] Sampras just everything. And McEnroe, well he had such great hands. But also I’ve always been a player who likes to show his emotion and let it all out rather than keep things bottled up inside.”
If the Djoker feels the need to go through his repertoire, he will not hold back. Opponents, though, should be more than mindful that the defending champion has learnt a lesson from the Australian Open and wants to keep his hands on the trophy. “To me, this end-of-year event is second only to the four Grand Slams,” he says. “I was not at all happy with the way I finished in Melbourne. Now I’ve put all my troubles behind me, my game is good again, my confidence is high and London is a great tennis city with the best traditions. It all points in the right direction.”
與寶貝的年中過後漸入佳境不同,
同在B組的寶貝的Amigo好朋友...Rafael Nadal
自從年中有傷之後,身體的不適讓他之後一直沒有進入狀況
這篇部落格的內容,就是他的心聲
這個部落格也很有趣,讀者可以問Nadal任何的問題
近期就有人問他,如果跟美國威廉斯姊妹打的話,誰會贏?
Rafa的回答也很妙
Could I beat Serena?What do you think?
不過這不是今天的重點,而是Rafa體貼廣大球迷心意的表白才重要

It hurts to lose ... I am sorry to all my fans in London
Hi everyone,
I suppose that the question today to me that isn't shown here is why did I lose? Well, it is simple. I didn't play the way I had to play, the way I know how to play and that it is taking me to have it back.
I felt without that confidence in the right moments, I felt a bit lack on that concentration in those points and that was it.
I came back to the locker room and there was Toni and the rest of the team waiting for me. Those are sad moments, believe me. We are down, not much talking in the locker room, serious faces... Then Toni starts analyzing points and the game and well... it is not the end of the World!. He is right. But it hurts to lose!
And I am also sad for all those fans who want me to win...
