Prvi put nakon 2004. i nakon 63 uzastopna meca na Rod Lejver Areni, Federer ce sjutra igrati mec izvan centralnog stadiona. Organizatori su smjestili njegov mec na Hajsens Arenu, nesto oko 7 sati po srednje-evropskom vremenu.

Jubilarna 70. pobjeda za Federera u Melburnu u 2. kolu ovogodisnjeg Ozi Opena. Svajcarac je u svom prvom mecu van Rod Lejver Arene u zadnjih 10 godina odusevio publiku pod krovom Hajsens Arene i za 1h 47 min igre savladao Slovenca Kavcica sa 6:2, 6:1, 7:6 (7:4). Izasao je Federer naostren za nadigravanje, agresivnost je bila na najvisem nivou i Slovenac je bio apsolutno nemocan u prva dva seta. Jedino vrijedno pomena sa njegove strane je brejk u drugom setu, ali to mu je ujedno i jedini gem koji je osvojio u njemu. Treci set je bio vec zanimljiviji, Kavcic je podigao nivo servisa i uspio da se izbori za tajbrek, u kojem je Federer diktirao tempo i priveo mec kraju u 3 seta. Odnos u vinerima govori dovoljno 52-14 za Maestra, imao je istina i 35 gresaka, ali sve u namjeri da apsolutno diktira igru i tempo. Odlicnih 76% prvog servisa, dobrih 23/29 na mrezi kao i 6/11 na brejk loptama idu u prilog tezi da je Rodzer odigrao jedan jako dobar mec, osjetno bolji nego li u 1. kolu. Ovo je Federeru ujedno i sedmi uzastopni osvojeni tajbrek u Melburnu, gdje nije izgubio teniski rulet od polufinalnog duela 2012.

"I'm happy on a hot day like this," said Federer. "It was a good first two sets I thought. I played really aggressive and it worked out. Third set I think he was more consistent. He served better. In the process, it got closer. I'm happy I got it done in three.

"It was nice, I enjoyed [playing on Hisense]. It's not really different to Rod Laver Arena. Just dimensions feel the same. I don't feel like you need to make an adjustment. The crowds were really nice. Great atmosphere over there. I was happy playing there."

“I think in these conditions and on the hard courts it's what we want to try to do, especially early in the tournament, without taking stupid chances,” Federer said about his more attacking game style. “I was overly aggressive at times, but I'd rather be that than overly passive. But the error counts started mounting as well.

“It was something I was trying to do a little bit today, mix it up, swing the serve around a little bit, also come in. I was in command on my serve. That was for me most important, that is there I'm rock solid.”

“I like the check ins at airports. Packing the bags is good fun. What else? Playing in 42 degrees heat,” the Swiss joked.

“It's like a traveling circus in a way. You put up your tents, stay there for some time. Tennis is something I really enjoy, and doing all of that with my wife and kids is something that I'm very happy about, that it's all working out. That we actually make it work and enjoy it, all of us, going to different places.”

“He was probably one of the greatest of all times in terms of serve and volley,” Federer said of Edberg. “He moved so smoothly and he did it so well. So, sure, if he can give me some input on the serve and volley and the volleys in general, that would be a good thing.

“But I worked a ton with Tony Roche on my volleys as well, throughout my career anyway, so I didn't hire Edberg just because of my volleys or because of the transition game.”

“Of course, if they'd all be sitting in a line, like 20 guys, it's a different story. I'd think, I better improve my volleys a little bit because they all used to volley better than me. So that would make me feel bad. But maybe I got other things. I don't know.”

3. kolo: Cunami sa Kavkaza

Teimuraz Gabasvili. 188 cm, 83 kg. Momak sa Kavkaza igra svoj najbolji Ozi Open u karijeri. Ovaj 28-godisnjak rodjen u Tbilisiju, od devete godine zivota zivi u Moskvi i nastupa pod ruskom zastavom. Trenutno je 79. teniser svijeta, a najbolji plasman mu je bio u februaru 2009. kada je zauzimao 59. mjesto na svijetu. Teniser koji je zahvaljujuci svom temperamentu i zaradio nadimak Cunami nema za sobom preveliku karijeru. Bez ATP titule, ili finala, sve s cime se moze podiciti jeste 4. kolo na Rolan Garosu iz 2010. kao i dvije pobjede nad Top 10 igracima (Gonzalesom 2007. i Rodikom upravo u Parizu 2010.) uz 12 poraza. Prije Melburna je odigrao 2 meca u sezoni i u oba je bio porazen, od Ceha Herniha u Dohi, ta Slovenca Kavcica u Sidneju. Sa Federerom je igrao jednom u karijeri na najtezem mogucem terenu, Central Kortu Vimbldona. To je ujedno i jedini put da sam ja gledao Rusa, i dobro sam upamtio kako je emotivno prezivljavao svaki poen, koliko nerviranja, da niste znali rekli biste da je on vladajuci sampion kojem malo sto polazi od ruke, a ne izazivac sa sansama u promilima da nesto uradi. Izgubio je taj mec sa ubjedljivih 6:3, 6:2, 6:4, ali je ostavio utisak fanaticnog borca. Na putu do Svajcarca u Melburnu je pobijedio Sergeja Stahovskog u 4 seta, te polufinalistu 2009. Fernanda Verdaska u 5 setova.

Gledao sam Gabasvilija par puta i to pre vise godina i ostao mi je u secanju kao sivonja koji se trudi da non-stop napada i to veoma agresivno, cesto bez rezona.Ako ga krene iole mogao bi bar set da otkine ali verovatno ce ostati na nuli.

Pobjeda u 3. kolu Melburna izvojevana u dijametralno suprotnim uslovima za igru u odnosu na prva dva kola. Federer je ostvario svoju 929. pobjedu u karijeri, i tako se izjednacio na trecem mjestu vjecne liste sa Giljermom Viljasom. Rus Gabasvili nije mogao vise od 7 osvojenih gemova za 1h 41 min igre - 6:2, 6:2, 6:3 za Svajcarca. Odigrao je Rodzer dobro na pomalo vjetrovitom Rod Lejveru i uz osjetno hladniju temperaturu u odnosu na prethodne dane. Nije ispalio onoliko vinera kao protiv Slovenca u dvoranskim uslovima, ali se pitao za poene protiv naostrenog i takodje agresivnog Gabasvilija. 35 vinera uz 18 neiznudjenih je dobar omjer, 5 spasenih brejk lopti, iskoriscenost istih istina opet nije bila sjajna (5/14), ali treba istaci da je Rus na brejk loptama izvlacio sjajne servise i tako se spasavao koliko je mogao. Sve u svemu rutinski dio posla u prve 3 runde je maksimalno odradjen, uz 5h 14 minuta provedenih na terenu. Protiv Conge pocinje ozbiljniji dio posla, a na Rodzeru je da se tu i ne zavrsi. Kljuc lezi u servisu, uz nivo defanzive i kretanja koji je imao u prvim rundama, samo eventualna nestabilnost servisa moze da mu pokvari planove.

Q. You're looking pretty good, getting through these matches quickly. Do you think you have enough hit out going into the second week?
ROGER FEDERER: I mean, time will tell. I'm happy that from my side I'm winning my matches in straight sets. It's been different conditions every match: the heat first and the indoor match and now normal conditions today with a bit of wind.
So it's just good to get through and get a good feel out there and make sure if you've got a chance to win your matches easier to do so.
That's what I was able to do today, so I'm pleased.

Q. You have played so many matches. Does it make it harder sometimes to go out there and just do it all over again, go through the motions in the first week?
ROGER FEDERER: I mean, no, not really. I mean, you know, I don't play 30 events during the year, you know. So I really get up for the ones that I am playing and I'm eager then to play. Because if I don't have that motivation, then it's better not to play the tournament. So I don't have those problems.
Of course you feel, you know, a bit, I don't know, a bit slower some days or you feel really excited some others.
But then again, all these feelings you have sometimes don't really tell the whole story, as well. You know, sometimes you do just play better than worse. But what you want to do is try to have those bad days happen as little as possible, and that you have the opportunity to play great on a few occasions throughout the year. You hope you time it well so it happens when you really need it.

Q. There was a story other day in a local paper about you being quite superstitious. They wrote that you are obsessed with the number 8. Is that true? Do you have these kind of mental...
ROGER FEDERER: No, no, I'm not superstitious at all. 8 is my favorite number, but obsessed would be a bit extreme.

Q. That you always ask for eight towels?
ROGER FEDERER: No (Laughter.) Three. Bad feng shui for me here.

Q. Did you have any when you first started, when you first began playing?
ROGER FEDERER: Not necessarily. Probably some minor ones where you hope you can sit on the same side of the umpire's chair.
I guess it's more routines I have, you know, to make sure I'm on time for my matches, that I feel good so I don't feel because when I was a junior I feel like I remember being dizzy sometimes for my matches just because maybe the warmup was too close to the match or was too far away or I didn't warm up properly or I ate at the wrong time.
You have a routine, but that, to me, is not superstition.

Q. Coming into today's match against Gabashvili he was obviously going to come and try and hit you off the court. Is it something you prepare for? Do you do video analysis on other games prior to playing him to see what kind of game plan he's going to...
ROGER FEDERER: No, not so much a video analyzation really.
Sometimes I do go back in time and I look at the matches I have played against certain opponents. But this one, you know, is from 2007 in the first round, so I really didn't know that much. I really wanted to focus more on how I was going to try to play.
I wasn't sure exactly how passive or how aggressive he was going to play. I think he actually did a very good job of playing offensive tennis, you know.
Clearly you get carried away a bit or you play over your level at times, but I think he did actually a good job for a while in each set. He actually hung around in the beginning of each set. He didn't like get broken first up, so he was tough.
I had to work for it. Once I got the lead, then I was able to stretch. It only then, though. It was an interesting match. I had to, you know, defend much more than I had to in my previous match.
Of course it was a totally different opponent, but I think it was, you know, in a way a tricky match today.

Q. You said on court that you were joking that it was nice to wake up not feeling like an old man. Can you tell us a little bit about how bad it did get with your back? How are you feeling now?
ROGER FEDERER: I feel great. Like I said, I wake up and I feel like I don't need like a hot bath or anything, you know. One minute later you're like, Okay, if I needed to play tennis now I could. So that's very positive, because I have heard of different stories or, you know, when you have really a lot of muscle pain or you're really hurt sometimes, in your worst days it takes you longer to feel somewhat normal.
Right now I feel very fresh and very good physically. That's why I do a lot of prevention work. You make sure you sleep enough and do all these things. You eat healthy and so forth. But it's been a good spell now.
Like I said, I didn't have any setbacks since Hamburg really, and that's very good looking forward.

Q. With this result you equal Guillermo Vilas at the third position with the most wins on the tour. What is the meaning for you?
ROGER FEDERER: Yeah, it's great winning any match, really. Yeah, Vilas was a great player with some unbelievable records as well, himself, and he played a lot of tennis for a long time.
I hope I can, you know, keep going and win more matches on tour. Clearly it's nice, you know, being compared with some of the greatest players of all time sometimes.

Q. It gets tough from here on in. Is it fair to say this is the toughest draw you have seen for a long time, toughest mountain to climb?
ROGER FEDERER: Not really. I have had tough draws throughout my career. Not every time, but I have played what, 60 slams and many tournaments, so I remember tough draws in early rounds.
Clearly now it's not how it used to be when there was only 16 seeds and I was the 32 seed. Now with the 32 seeds it's a bit more predictable. A lot more predictable actually.
That's one of the reasons I think I have always been able to go deep in slams, especially once I got was able to be seeded. I took advantage of that.
This is clearly, you know, a tough draw I have had, especially looking forward now. But important now for me is just that I keep playing well and I don't go crazy of who I play now.
I know that Simon and Tsonga are going to be tough opponents, and it's just now up to me to bring it, you know, in the next match.

Q. You share same agent with Juan Martin Del Potro. Is there any change in the relationship with him? Are you closer with him? Do you talk more often with him? How do you feel about his defeat here in the second round? Are you surprised?
ROGER FEDERER: Yeah, of course I was surprised. His ranking is much better than Bautista. Of course that was a surprise for many. That was an unbelievable night of tennis for many. There were three or four matches simultaneously in the fifth set.
But for me, no, nothing changes in terms of our relationship. It's always been very good, and continues to be this way.

Q. Can you tell us what you see in Dimitrov? He has also become a client of the agency. What do you see in him, his potential?
ROGER FEDERER: I think he's a nice guy, number one. We always enjoy, you know, chatting together and joking around a bit. I like his game. Clearly can relate to him, how he plays, because we both have a one handed backhand and we like to play sort of athletic tennis, you know, which is offensive.
For him it's just a question of like, you know, staying injury free right now, but training hard at the same time and playing in a lot of tournaments, just getting, you know, getting out there and, you know, sort of facing the music, you know, every other week.
I think this year is going to be very important for him to make a big step in the rankings. Start knocking on the door of the top 10. I think he has what it takes to move up, and clearly this match today with Raonic is very interesting, which many of the players are following in the locker room right now.

Q. Speaking of your backhand, many people feel it's one of the great strokes, one of the most beautiful strokes in tennis history. You always seem to have time, a lot of rhythm, a lot of balance. Can you break it down for a minute? What are the keys to your backhand and then how do you like to use it?
ROGER FEDERER: Well, I mean, clearly it all starts with the footwork, you know. Without footwork you aren't going to be able to hit a backhand or you're going to be stretched so much you're not going to be able to hit one.
You've just got to be able to react. Important is to set yourself up that you have multiple options and you're most dangerous for your opponent. I think it's important to not always hit it in the same spot so you I mean, you can disguise it to some degree, but what you want to be able to do is show your opponent that you can hit it all so when it gets important he doesn't know where it's going to go.
Then with me, I can manage with a slice and then the topspin and the flat backhand. I try to mix it up as much as I can. But at the same time, I also need to be able to just make enough in a row just for consistency and also for my confidence.
So it's an interesting shot, and it's been one I have worked on a lot throughout my career. And many have played throughout, which I'm very happy about.

Q. Finally, Stefan has such a fabulous backhand. Has he made any comments or helped you at all with that stroke?
ROGER FEDERER: Yeah, I'm just, you know, staying aggressive with the footwork, you know, not sort of leaning back too much, not getting too passive on it, because you can have tendency to do that with a one handed backhand because you can bail out and go to the slice.
I know everybody can, but a double hander usually doesn't. The one hander, it's so natural for us to play the slice that you almost have to tell yourself to always stay on the front foot and play aggressive.
On a quicker court like here it's definitely one thing you want to do.

Q. Coming to the fourth round match against potentially Jo Wilfried Tsonga, knowing his game so well, does it make it easier to play him?
ROGER FEDERER: Well, it's more predictable, you know, to a degree. I mean, he clearly is going to surprise you just by shot making or whatever it is.
Today I didn't know if my opponent liked the inside out forehand more or the inside in forehand or more the backhand down the line or backhand crosscourt.
So sometimes I'm like, Okay, too late. It was a winner. With Jo Willy it's going to be different. If he hits a winner, I know probably where he's going to go, what the percentage is.
But then again, because he hits it so well and so consistently, that's what makes it hard then, you know. He's got a huge serve, which then is also is a huge part of the game which increases the pressure or not on your own service games.
He's a great mover. So, I mean, you just know what to expect, which is good for better tennis for both players.

1/8 finala: teniski Muhamed Ali

Žo Vilfred Conga. 188cm, 91 kg. 28-godišnji Francuz, zaradio je svoj nadimak kako zbog fizičke sličnosti sa bokserskom legendom, tako i zbog svog bum-bum stila igre. Razorni udarci sa osnovne linije, uglavnom u vidu forhenda, znaju biti ispraćeni i sa vratolomijama na mreži, gdje hvata legendarne voleje u stilu Bekera. Ako ima svoj dan, onda je jedan od najtežih protivnika na Turu. No, da je sve tako bajno u njegovoj igri, imao bi za pojasom nekoliko GS titula, što nije slučaj. Njegova igra zna često da izgubi svaki smisao, na terenu djeluje potišteno i pogubljeno, te postaje lak plijen i za mnoge lošije rankirane tenisere. To se uglavnom dešava kad ne stekne sigurnost sa servisa. Trenutni renking mu je 10. Najveća titula u karijeri mu je Masters u Parizu 2008, a u karijeri je još stizao i do finala AO 2008 i finala završnog Mastersa u Londonu 2011 (porazi od Đokovića i Federera). Međusobni skor protiv Federera ga ne čini favoritom i iznosi 4-9. Najčuvenija pobjeda je ona iz Vimbldona kada je u apsolutno najboljoj partiji karijere preokrenuo 0-2 i savladao neprikosnovenog Švajcarca. Prošle sezone su odigrali dva duela na GS turnirima i to 5 setova u Melburnu, kada je slavio Maestro, dok je u Parizu Conga bio ubjedljiv u 3 seta. Na GS su se sastali još u Australiji u 1/2 finalu 2010 godine i US Openu 2011 (Federer je oba puta slavio sa rutinskih 3-0), dakle 3-2 na Gren Slemovima za Federera. Na putu do Švajcarca Conga nije izgubio ni set, a savladao je Italijana Volandrija, Brazilca Belućija te sunarodnika Simona.

Cista desetka za nastup. Bravo maestro. 3-0 protiv uvek opasnog Conge, uz minimalnu sansu protivniku da moze nesto da napravi. Dobar bekhend, igra na svom servisu vrhunska, 1 ili 2 brejk sanse za Congu i to u trecem setu. Zaista sam prijatno iznenadjen partijom (jbg, doslo takvo vreme), ali moram da kazem da sam ipak ocekivao pobedu.

Naredni mec protiv Endija. Spektakl u najavi.

Kako sam prognozirao moze da se vidi po anketi, jedan glas od Novickog, drugi od mene :biggrin:

Sto se tice meca sa Endijem, problem je sto nisam pratio njegove nastupe neko vreme, ali ako Federer ponovi partiju kao protiv Conge siguran sam da je mnogo blizi pobedi. Eto, nije neka mudrost, ali je tako. Bukvalno je svaki udarac bio tu, sve ga je fino sluzilo, bas onaj RF-ovski nastup protiv TOP 10 igraca. Prelomi se 1 set, 2. set, 3.set , drzi se servis, na kraju sve to izgleda rutinski a protivnici odlicni igraci . Zaista me je iznenadio bas pozitivno danas a uveren sam i samoga sebe :biggrin: Ovo je Rodzer koji obecava...

Eto, a da je danas npr pobedio sa 3-2 uz gomilu onih njegovih gresaka koje su mu svojstvene poslednjih godinu dana, drugacije bih gledao njegov dalji put na AO.
Optimista sam pred nastavak.

Pa Federer bez servisa je prosle godine tukao Congu, istina tek u 5 setova i to ga je kostalo kasnije protiv Mareja. Ove godine sam imao izvjesnih rezervi. Finale Brizbejna je dokaz da glava i dalje nije rijesen problem, zato je moglo danas svasta biti, jer Conga je igrac cija se svrha postojanja svodi na to da dobije nekad Rodzera, za ostalo on ne mari previse. U principu sve zavisi kakav ce Federer izaci na teren. Ja ocekujem plasman u 1/2 finale, bolji je igrac od Mareja i u neuporedivo boljoj formi. Tamo protiv orka krvavih ruka - tesko... Mada i ovo je napredak u odnosu na prethodna 2 GS turnira

Niz u Australiji se nastavlja. Rodzer je i u trecem okrsaju protiv Zo VIlfreda Conge na Rod Lejver Areni zabiljezio trecu pobjedu, s tim da je ova ipak bila slicnija prvoj iz 2010. nego li prethodnom trileru u 5 setova iz prosle godine - 6:3, 7:5, 6:4 za 1h 52 min igre. Jednostavno kada Maestro izadje na teren sa svojom najboljom igrom, tu Francuz, uz svu agresivnost i zelju koju gledamo kod njega kad igra protiv Federera, ne moze puno da uradi. Tako je bilo i u danasnjem mecu. Svajcarac je krenuo dominantno, pa mu ni losiji ubacaj prvog servisa nije zasmetao da uzme prvi gem, a potom i brejkuje Congu odmah u narednom gemu. Sve nakon toga je bilo poigravanje madjionicara iz Bazela - drop sotovi, izlasci na mrezu, pakleni forhendi, ali i hirurski precizne bekend paralele, sve to je prezentovao melburnskoj publici u 1. setu koji je rutinski priveo kraju. Cinjenica da je Federer imao samo 50% ubacenog prvog servisa, a Conga 70%, a da se sve na terenu pitao Svajcarc dovoljno govori o Rodzerovom kretanju i njegovoj igri u polju. U drugom setu se Conga nije lako dao. Servirao je sjajno, ali nije imao rjesenja kako da pridje brejku. Nakon maksimalne iskoriscenosti brejk lopti u 1. setu, Federer je strpljivo cekao svoju sansu u drugom, i dobio je u 11. gemu. Prvu brejk loptu je propustio, no brzo je stigao i do druge i greske nije bilo. Rutinski je nakon toga odservirao i za set. Treci set bio je rutina za Federera jer je u trecem gemu sa nulom brejknuo Francuza. Nastavio je u tom stilu i poveo 4-2 i imao duplu brejk loptu za stavljanje tacke na i. No, tada se zvijer ocajnika probudila u Congi, poceo je da pogadja i moguce i nemoguce, spasio brejk lopte, osvojio svoj gem i proslavio ga kao da je slavio u mecu, burno i energicno. Htio je da posalje poruku Federeru, i nastavio je sa pricom na terenu, u narednom gemu stigao je do svoje jedine brejk lopte na mecu. Ali, zaboravio je da sa druge strane mreze nije vise Svajcarac koji je bio u 2013. kada bi ta poruka mozda bila i fatalna. Ovaj Federer je rutinski spasio brejk loptu, a potom i bez trzavica priveo mec kraju. Statistika takodje govori u prilog superiornosti Svajcarca: 43/21 odnos vinera i neiznudjenih, kvalitetnih 3/7 na brejk loptama, te edbergovskih 34/41 na mrezi. Ovom pobjedom je osim australijskih 3-0, popravio i ukupni skor protiv Conge na 10-4, te se plasirao u svoje 41. GS cetvrtfinale, cime se na prvom mjestu vjecne liste izjednacio sa Dzimijem Konorsom.

Q. Essentially the perfect match. Do you see it the same way?
ROGER FEDERER: Yeah, I mean, I'm very pleased. Don't think I got broken today. That against a great player. So, yeah, I'm extremely happy how things went for me tonight.
I was able to play my game, offensive, mix it up, come to the net. Yeah, I was surprised that things worked out for me.

Q. Really surprised or...
ROGER FEDERER: To a degree (smiling). I mean, been in the quarters before. But, you know, still this was the kind of match I was hoping to play maybe against Jo in Paris in the quarters. I got a hiding that time. I struggled all the way through the entire match.
Okay, it was windy and Jo was playing well. But still, you know, I would assume that I would find my way into the match at one point and I never did. That's maybe where I felt maybe my game is off slightly. The hit I took in Indian Wells was more than just a slight setback.
So this is nice being back in the quarters, because I haven't been in one, you know, for two now, Wimbledon and the US Open. So I'm back on a streak of 36, so we'll see where it goes now (smiling).

Q. You came into the net 36 or 37 times, and you won about 86% of those points. Something you discussed with your coach leading up to the match?
ROGER FEDERER: Yeah, I mean, I'm sure you talk about it. The question is can you then do it. Does Jo allow you to? Is he serving too big? Are you going to serve and volley? How is he returning? It depends a little bit how the match goes.
I was hoping I could play a little bit aggressive. So I think it worked out better than I thought it would. You know, I was good at net. I was consistent. I was solid. I was quick. I had the right mindset.
I think the plan definitely worked out well for me tonight.

Q. Do you think the big match tonight, another big one coming up Wednesday night, do you think these are the occasions where Stefan can really add something to you?
ROGER FEDERER: Yes. I mean, it's not going to hurt. Yeah, it could be very helpful. I don't know yet. It's not Wednesday yet. It's not Tuesday yet. That's maybe where we'll talk about it a little bit, the Murray match.
You know, it's just a different perspective. He did things his way back in the day. I'm sure things were different back then. But still you can take so many things from his experience. I want to say maybe try out a few things that worked for him, try out a few things that he thinks would work out for me this time around.
Sure, we'll discuss it, assess it, but he's here now more for just support, making me feel comfortable, giving me right advice, prematch, post match, discussing it with Severin my coach.
We're still going through the motions a little bit here. We're still trying to get a feel for how we want it to be exactly. How much should we talk? How much is too much? He's doing really a nice job, and he was happy with my performance tonight, which makes me clearly very happy, too.

Q. As the higher ranked player is Andy Murray the favorite for this match?
ROGER FEDERER: I think we're both coming into this match with a good feeling. We're both coming into this match, though, with some doubts slightly. I don't know how he's feeling. I haven't seen him play much, to be quite honest.
I didn't see anything in Doha. I didn't see anything in Abu Dhabi. Hardly anything here. But what I'm hearing is that he's fine. That's very positive. That's what I was hoping for Andy, that when he did come back, he was 100%, not halfway, limping, not feeling great.
It's good to see he took care of his draw, and here we are again. I'm looking forward to the match, I must say. Yeah, I wonder how it's going to play out. Was it here the last time we played? That was a great match. So I hope we both can reproduce something similar.
It will be interesting, because we had an interesting year last year with some ups and downs. It's a good start to the season for both of us already.

Q. Many years ago Peter Lundgren said to push you to the net was like throwing you in the water with sharks. I would like to know if now you changed because of Tsonga's backhand or because of the new racquet or because of Edberg's influence?
ROGER FEDERER: I used to serve volley against Sampras in 2001 at Wimbledon. That was like 13 years ago, man. It's not like I've been standing way back in the court like some clay courter. I've always tried to come in.
I was actually coming in a lot at the beginning of my career because I didn't feel I was good enough off the baseline against the great baseliners that were still in the game in my time: Hewitt, Ferrero, Safin, Nalbandian, Agassi.
I always felt like, God, these guys have such great backhands. They have such an easy time finding my backhand. I'm coming in because I don't want to rally back there.
Eventually in 2003 I probably realized I can actually also hang with them from the baseline and beat them. That's when everything changed. Conditions got slower. I improved from the baseline. My movement got solid. I was fit. That's then when I went on a run.
But I've always enjoyed coming to the net. Clearly as a junior you always think twice if you want to come in or not because you're little, you're weak. It's easy to get lobbed.
As you grow, you need someone who tells you it's actually okay to be at the net. That's why as a junior you shouldn't care too much about your results really. You want to play how you want to play in the future.
I'm happy I learned a lot of volleys throughout my career with all my coaches, but I think Tony Roche taught me the most when it comes to the volleys. That was a good stretch with him, talking about the volleys.

Q. The other day Novak said he thought the mental aspect of the game these days was the most difficult to overcome. Rafa said it was the physical. Where do you stand on that? Obviously earlier in your career you had a lot of emotion, and then you quickly put that away. Is the mental side the more difficult to overcome?
ROGER FEDERER: I honestly think it depends on the player's character, doesn't it? Me, it took me longer, the mental side. The physical side was something I think nobody should have any regrets because everybody can work hard. That shouldn't be an excuse, a guy not being fit or for a guy not giving everything he has, running for every ball.
Sure, at times you need to pace yourself, all that stuff. But everybody should be able to move well, because there is no such secret, like a certain way of practice that's going to make you fast. Everybody does it different.
Spanish do it different to the Americans. Americans do it different to the Australians. I don't know what the Swiss do, but we do something. Everybody does something different when it comes to that.
Then the mental part is something that only over time do you embrace the big moments; center courts; live TV; the pressure of being that next best guy and people thinking life is easy; you're going to be world No. 1 anyway; you're going to make a lot of money.
How is that to overcome? I think that can be very difficult for some, plus the traveling and all that, the pressure. But for me, I don't know, it was not crazy, but it did take a toll on me because I was supposed to make a break so early. I was supposed to become world No. 1 at some point.
At the same age, guys like Safin, Roddick, Lleyton, they all did it before me. So sure, I was questioning myself in the process as well.
I think coaching is important in the beginning to teach you the proper technique, because if you have flaws in your technique, that's something maybe that's very hard to change down the stretch. So I guess it depends in phases where you look at it.

Q. Back to tonight's match. Your movement was sublime. Your execution was exemplary. You even challenged well.
ROGER FEDERER: Who cares, you know?

Q. Did you feel the energy flowing out there tonight?
ROGER FEDERER: Yeah, I definitely felt momentum was on my side, no doubt. I started the match well. Did I break first game? I think I did.
I felt, All right, things are working for me tonight. Let me try to run away with it in the first set. I had some missed opportunities midway through the second set. I think I had twice Love 30.
Thought I could have done a bit better, but Jo did well to hang around and serve well when he had to.
Yeah, so that second set was key, I thought.
Then the third, I felt like, Okay, if I can get off to a good start in the third, which I did, things were going to look good. But with the scoring system in tennis it's just never quite safe. I was looking all nice at 4 2, Love 40, and then here we are at 4 3, 30 40, and again I'm like, Ahhh.
You know, of course it's all turned around. Maybe I'll be in the breaker or he'll break me again and we'll go into four sets. Things were definitely going well for me tonight. I'm happy I got the job done in three, because I did play for most of the match almost the entire match.

Q. Your opponent tonight from France, and America had a lot of players start the tournament but none are around. Would you rather have strength in the draw or one or two players that could really go deep?
ROGER FEDERER: I don't understand. Sorry.

Q. A philosophical question. Is it better to have strength in numbers?
ROGER FEDERER: Strength in numbers for a country?

Q. Correct.
ROGER FEDERER: What are you talking about, world No. 1 or world No. 7? It's a bit of a change. If it's world No. 1, I'll take world No. 1. But the strength in numbers is great because no matter if one guy gets injured, one guy moves out because of age or retires, you have somebody else.
But clearly you want someone who is able to win tournaments, 250s, 500s, 1000s, Grand Slams.
Sure, for Davis Cup it's great to have multiple guys so you can exchange and depending on the surface you can put whomever. But if you're talking about world No. 1, I'd probably rather have that guy.

Q. You mentioned doubts about you and Andy coming into this season. Clearly beating Tsonga like that will take away some of them. To what extent is Wednesday's match for both of you to address that?
ROGER FEDERER: For me personally, I've overcome it. I don't have doubts anymore. I know I'm going definitely in the right direction. I've had a great off season. I had a strong end to the year. I couldn't have worked harder in the off season.
Then Brisbane was good. I played singles and doubles. Here, this is the type of win I needed. Clearly if I lose 0 0 in the next round I'll have doubts again, but I'm going to try to not make that happen.

Q. The most significant test coming up?
ROGER FEDERER: This is a big test for me. I don't need Murray to have a further test. The draw is a very testing draw. I know it's tough. It's not easy for anybody right now at this stage of the tournament, because you don't want to have any hiccups right now.
I hope I can continue playing at a high level. What I've shown over the last three to four months to myself is that I'm more confident, that I know I'm most likely going to play okay in my next match, which wasn't always the case midway through last year when I didn't know how I was going to feel actually during the match.
I feel like I can think ahead. I can think tactics. I can think many things out there. Everything else but my body, and that's very positive. I've overcome a lot in the last few months.

Q. What does it take for anyone to beat Murray, Nadal, Djokovic in a row?
ROGER FEDERER: Well, you need to be able to come through some matches quickly probably. I mean, sure, you need to be mentally and physically ready for five sets, five sets, five sets, if that is the case, if you're talking about slams or Masters 1000s.
It's a tough thing to do. Clearly you need to change your game depending on the players, because Murray plays different to Djokovic, Djokovic plays different to Rafa, and Jo and so forth. You are always also a bit dependent on how good their form is, how good is yours. Can you do it three or four times in a row.
It's a tough thing to do. I don't know if it's been done before. It's definitely a tough task. Then again, if you don't embrace that challenge, you might as well not enter the draw. You might as well stay at home and watch other guys battle it out.
That's what I like. I like playing the best, for me personally. And you need to take it to them. You need to play aggressive against the top guys, me included. You don't want to wait for stuff to happen. I think that usually is good for success.

Q. One of the TV commentators was saying that the new racquet was helping you for certain shots, like the return. Do you agree?
ROGER FEDERER: Yeah, I mean, I think so. I did return really well tonight. I had good timing. I was also reading the serve well, not like other times.
Last year I had a really tough time in slower conditions against Jo. Just couldn't get my racquet on it. Probably I was maybe overall feeling bad. I don't know.
But tonight things were just clicking. It was smooth for me. I do believe I have easier power with the racquet on the serve. It might help me on the return, as well. I hope it is the case.
I still need to put many more matches and hours on it, but so far so good. It's a great start to the season with the racquet, with my body. Everything is going really well. I'm very happy.

1/4 finale: heroj Ostrva

Endi Marej. 190 cm, 84 kg. 27-godišnji Škot koji je dugo bio u sijenci veličanstvene trojke, prošlogodišnjim osvajanjem svetog trofeja Vimbldona uspio je da odbaci sve kritike na svoj račun. Konačno osvajanje GS titule na US Openu, te olimpijsko zlato na domaćoj travi Vimbldona, kompletirani prekidom višedecenijske agonije Britanaca i osvajanjem domaćeg GS učinili su da Škot s pravom može biti ponosan na sebe. Pa možda i previše ponosan jer je izostao rezultat na US Openu, a nakon toga je i pauzirao zbog povrede ledja. Po povratku na teren 2014-te trazio se sa igrom, i on zapravo nakon vimbldonske krune nema vise nijedno finale, najdalje je stizao do polufinala Akapulka i Rima. Osim navedenih ostvarenja u karijeri je osvojio i 9 Masters titula. Trenutno je 9. teniser svijeta. Međusobni skor protiv Federera je u njegovu korist 11-10, a u Sinsinatiju su se sastali 2 puta u karijeri. U prvom medjusobnom duelu izmedju dvojice tenisera davne 2006. slavio je tada tinejdzer sa Ostrva, dok je u polufinalu 2009. godine bolji bio stariji Svajcarac. Na ovogodisnjem turniru u Ohaju Marej je pobijedio Portugalca Souzu, te Amerikanca Iznera, nakon sto je spasio 3 mec lopte u jednom opakom testu u osmini finala.

Gledala sam reprizu, fenomenalan je bio danas :blue: stvarno je podsetio na Edberga na momente, svaki čas na mrežu, i sjajni voleji :okk:
Iznenadila sam se da praktično nije imao onih žutih minuta koji ga inače prate već neko vreme u važnim mečevima. Pitanje je može li da ih izbegne i u završnici.
Endija nisam gledala, ali s obzirom da je dao set Roberu, rekla bih da Fed odavno nije imao bolje šanse protiv njega ako nastavi s ovakvom igrom. S druge strane, bolje mu je da ne srlja na mrežu previše jer će ga i indisponirani Endi tu bušiti mnogo lakše nego Conga.
Odlični mečevi četvrtfinala u najavi, lepo bi bilo da neki uspem i da vidim u prenosu :colera:
I will not walk your dusty path and flat,
denoting this and that by this and that,
your world immutable wherein no part
the little maker has with Maker's art.
I bow not yet before the Iron Crown,
nor cast my own small golden sceptre down.

Vidio se jasan plan u igri danas. Jeste isao puno na mrezu, ali nikad neizradjeno, kao sto smo ga gledali prosle godine u fazonu "ajde da probam pa kako bude". Dalje meni je jos u Brizbejnu odusevio napredak u kretanju i jedan stabilan bekend. Kao sto sam i pisao, u vremenu kad je bio u najvecoj rupi nakon ispadanja sa Vimbldona, on je u Hamburgu s vecim reketom udarao bekend dosta iznad proslosezonskih standarda, a bio je na nikad nizem stepenu samopouzdanja. Sad to nakon post-sezone, 3 top 10 pobjede u finisu prosle i evo prve ove, mozemo da pricamo o zaista ispravnoj odluci o promjeni reketa. Dakle bolje kretanje, bolji bekend, i servis takodje. Marej je u puno losijoj formi nego prosle godine, pa i pored cinjenice da ima bolji ritern i pasing od Conge, isto tako ima i gori servis, a Federer ce biti tu da grabi svoje prilike za brejk. Uzme li 1.set u danasnjem stilu, ne bi me cudilo ni da zavrsi u 3, premda Mareja nisam gledao sem u Dohi. Ono sto Fedu treba je da konacno veze 2 dobra meca protiv jakih rivala, mislim da je ovakav Marej idealan za to

P.S na istom smo po pitanju direktnih prenosa. Sreca pa Extra Tv ima opciju snimanja. Nadam se da se od srijede ukljucujem i direktno
