Interesantna statistika Rafe

Nadal is 53-10 for the season, which is good for a .841 winning percentage.
But as impressive as that sounds, it's actually a bit underwhelming for a 10-time Grand Slam champion. In fact, Nadal's current 84% match-victory rate is his lowest since 2004, the year before he won his first Grand Slam title and began to threaten Roger Federer's mid-decade dominance.
He has won only three tournaments this year — including the French Open, his sixth, which ties him with Bjorn Borg for the most French Open championships. That's his lowest number of tournament titles in, again, seven years.

Medju slabijim sezonama, a meni je i dalje fascinantno da je skoro sve sama finala igrao (sem ova dva poslednja turnira i AO).
To samo govori kako su mu ostale sezone bile fenomenalne.
Kakva konstantnost vec skoro 7 godina.

“What I say to all the kids. You don’t have an obligation to win, you have an obligation to try your best. If a kid tries 100 per cent on court for me that’s 100 per cent positive. If you do all you can, chances are you will make it,” says Rubio.

His years of working with juniors have made him understand the huge impact a tennis coach can have on a player’s character even more than on his game.

“I think it’s just not only tennis, some parents don’t understand we’re teaching more than tennis on the court. A behaviour, a manner, a way of being in the future,” he said.

“Always be very respectful to the opponent. Even if you are the best, there’s always someone who can beat you. You have to be humble and at the same time you have to be confident but maintain respect.

“When Rafa was 12 he had already won the under-14 Spanish Championship. So his uncle Toni and I, we said okay now you’re Spanish champion. Here’s a book of all the former under-14 champions, so now try and see if you can recognise somebody.

“After 100s of pictures there were only two pictures of players that he saw that had really made it. So his uncle Toni said: ‘you’re nobody yet’. You haven’t done anything, so don’t get a big head.

“The way you educate the boy is very important. Rafa is a fabulous, very grounded person and that’s very important.”

With the US Open about to start and Nadal going through a bit of a rough patch, Rubio shared his views on his former protégé’s current predicament.

“Right now Rafa knows he’s mentally not as confident as he was maybe at the beginning of the year. Losing five times in a row to Djokovic… it hurts. He’s lost a bit of confidence but that’s all he’s lost.

“Knowing Rafa, when the season ends in November, he’ll go back and train like ever. Because he loves the competition that way. He likes somebody to push him.

“I’ve had the experience of Rafa winning the French Open, coming back to Mallorca and doing every single day 500 serves. Just for Wimbledon. Just correcting a little bit of foot position and 500 serves every day. Then what happened? He won Wimbledon! It’s the challenge, he loves it!”

Nadal: "Srećan sam što sam prošao"
Drugi teniser na ATP listi Rafael Nadal plasirao se u drugu rundu US Opena posle velike borbe i rekao da je bio "vrlo nervozan pre meča".


Beta/AP
Nadal je savladao Kazahstanca Andreja Golubjeva sa 3:0 (6:3, 7:6, 7:5) ali je rival imao nekoliko prilika da promeni tok meča.

"Bio sam vrlo nervozan pre meča jer sam znao o kakvom se teniseru radi. Golubjev je moju nervozu učinio većom svojom agresivnom igrom. On je svakim udarcem tražio 'viner'," rekao je na konferenciji za medije Nadal, "Ipak, ovo je bio dobar početak za mene. Pobeda u tri seta je nešto što sam i planirao da uradim u prvom kolu. Srećan sam što sam prošao i radujem se što sam ponovo na ovim terenima."

Nadal nije blistao protiv Kazahstanca, bio je manje odlučan nego ranije i nije ostvario 'očekivani' broj 'vinera'.

"Ne mislim da sam igrao loše, ali znam da ima još dosta prostora za napredak u igri. Moraću da češće ulazim u teren i nadam se da će tako biti već u sledećem susretu," rekao je Španac.

Sledeći rival Nadalu biće Francuz Nikolas Mau koji je uspeo da preokrene u meču sa Farahom iz Kolumbije i dobije meč rezultatom 3:2.

Super bi mu bila ta majica da je crna s zutim. Ne razumem sto su se odlucili za belu s crnim sorcem za nocnu varijantu.

I crne carape. Ne secam se kada je zadnji put nosio.
