Novak Djokovic on whether Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal are his friends or competitors: “Somewhere in between. We are competing, if you want to call us rivals. It’s tough to be close friends with somebody you’re competing against..
The USTA announced that in conjunction with World Tennis Day on March 3rd, it will attempt to set the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS® title for the ‘‘Largest Tennis Lesson.”
Top seeds Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan claimed a hat-trick of titles at the Delray Beach on Sunday as they defeated Frantisek Cermak and Mikhail Elgin 6-2, 6-3 in the final. The Bryans prevailed in 54 minutes, winning 77 percent of their service points and breaking their opponents three times.
Rafael Nadal had not looked very good the night before; his explanation seemed to boil down to the fact that he was struggling with the uncomfortable conditions. But it was thoroughly uncomfortable on Sunday as well -- high heat and very high humidity.
If you look only at the match stats, the wonder is that this was so close. Pablo Andujar should have won this walking away. How often do you get fourteen break point chances against Rafael Nadal on clay?
A depressing result so soon after Karlovic made the Memphis final. Any additional points will count for Kevin Anderson.
This was not exactly a thrilling final (other than the odd moment when Marin Cilic managed to get a point replayed because the ball had been damaged). Tomas Berdych was never broken -- indeed, never faced a break point after his first service game -- and he converted three of four break points against Cilic. He won almost 60% of the points.
After all the upsets we'd had to this point, this seems almost unnatural. A seed winning? What is the world coming to? What Tomas Berdych is coming to, or at least coming close to, is the #6 ranking. Win the title and it's his; indeed, he will be just bare points behind Juan Martin del Potro in the contest for #5. Ernests Gulbis will be #23 or #24.
