Chaky Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Novak lost!Even though I've been looking forward to a Rafa v Roger final I was kinda rooting for Novak today. The first two sets of this match were brilliant, probably some of the best tennis I've seen in this tournament. And I like that Novak's personality comes through on court.But Nadal is just brutal! I was getting tired just watching them - the amount of energy they expend is incredible. It's a shame Novak couldn't keep up his level into the third set. I think he was gone by then.Roger is in for a very tough time as Rafa is looking unstoppable right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninanina19 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 What rank will Ana be if she wins and if she loses? She has to be top 5 def. But can she make it to 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaky Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Ana will be #6 if she loses and #4 if she wins. Jelena will be #3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninanina19 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Oh sweet!!! Possibly 3 and 4 in the world. I can't believe Ana will only be 6th though if she loses but then again Amelie still has her points from Wimbledon and the USO semis.

ninanina19 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 I hope Roger wins!!! It would be really cool if he did. I'm looking forward to the women's match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaky Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Yeah, I hope the women's final is really good. The semis were such a letdown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safin83 Posted June 9, 2007 Author Share Posted June 9, 2007 good tounament this year, we get to see the final im sure we've all wanted! I really hope roger can pull it off, he would get the career grand slam and will stay alive for the year slam!on the womens side its nice to see ivanovic in the final, it was only a matter of time before she broke through, but i dont see her beating henin on clay, henin is playing way to good right now, but hopefully ivanovic can pull off the upset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaky Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Justine won! An amazing achievement. She has won 35 consecutive sets at RG and this is her 3rd title in a row. She has played wonderful clay court tennis over the past couple of weeks and executed her game plan perfectly today. Ana! She started so well but I think the realisation of where she was just hit her at 1-0 40-0. I thought this might happen, it's pretty typical for someone in their first Slam final. She got nervous. I hope she learns from it because I think she can get there again. I've been predicting big things for her since I saw her play in the Wimbledon Juniors final a few years ago. She displays such good sportsmanship too which can't always be said for some of her peers. A lot of people are comparing Ana to Kim Clijsters. Some people criticised Kim because they believed her good-nature and sporting behaviour got in the way of a killer winning instinct. Could Ana go the same way? Is it possible to be too nice in sports? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaky Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 I think Nadal is too good. He will win.Having seen a few of their matches in the last couple of weeks, sadly, I agree with you. I hope Fed can prove me wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaky Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Roger! That first set! 10 break points and not a single one taken. Rafa had two break points and took them both! I mean Nadal played well on some of them but most were Roger's errors or he wasn't aggressive enough. And Roger's first serve percentage was something like 30%. Check the stats for the match: Break points won: Federer - 1 of 17 Nadal - 4 of 10 Winners/Unforced errors: Federer - 18/60 Nadal - 13/28 I can't believe Roger made so many errors today. And it was not all because of Nadal making him go for his shots. If Roger wants to win this title he's got to play against Rafa like he does for the rest of the tournament. Thank god it's the grass season now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

safin83 Posted June 11, 2007 Author Share Posted June 11, 2007 for some reason roger can never play a clean match against rafa, he's always shooting himself in the foot! but oh well, i think he will win the french open eventually just to bad it couldnt be this yearivanovic was completely overwhelmed, she will learn from this, she is a very nice person, but i dont think it hurts her game, she's shown already that she has alot of fight as a competitor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dajana Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Anas diary Two announcements! / June 12, 2007 It’s been an amazing couple of days. I left Paris on Sunday evening. On the aeroplane the crew were very kind, they did a presentation with champagne and they also gave us a cake. I don’t often drink alcohol but obviously this was a special occasion. Still, I didn’t drink too much in case I got drunk before we landed in Belgrade! There was an unbelievable celebration outside the City Hall. I think there were around 10,000 people greeting me, Novak and Jelena. It was definitely an emotional time and very enjoyable. I want to thank everyone who came on Sunday and also to everyone who supported me at the French Open. Seeing how much our achievements mean to the people gives me even more motivation to train hard. I’m having another day off today but I will be back on the courts on Wednesday preparing for my next tournament in Holland. I have two announcements to make. First of all, I will be playing in the Fed Cup against the Slovak Republic after Wimbledon. It was an easy decision to make! I only missed one tie because it didn’t fit my schedule, and now that I did so well in Paris I think it’s clear I made the right decision – the girls won without me in April anyway. I am excited because I think Jelena and I have a great chance of doing very well in the team competition. We want so much to reach the World Group. The other thing is that I’m going to be playing less doubles. I had planned to play some tournaments with Maria Kirilenko but now I decided that I need to focus more on singles. Doubles is great fun, but it can cause problems for singles, especially when there is a rain delay, or you need extra recovery time. The worst thing would be if I had to withdraw from the doubles competition during a Grand Slam, because I was tired and needed to rest for singles – I would feel very bad, letting down a partner like that. Actually I would play anyway out of obligation, and that would not be a good situation. So I decided it was best not to commit to anything. Maria and I are good friends and she also thinks it’s a good decision. Love Ana She will play in the Fed Cup! :hell yea!: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dajana Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 In Belgrade 9.6. It was crazy! Nole was talking all the time, Jelena was singing and she even hugged Ana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
