Mora i to neko. (ja se trudim da ne upadnem ponovo na listu na prvoj strani pa se lupam po prstima cesto - ne preterano uspesno ) Imas neki link za taj intervju? Ja sam samo slusala onaj s Ozmom za SK. Bas je bio dobar. Hajde da ga i ovde postavimo:

@Boxy otvori Smesnu stranu tenisa pa prebaci tamo.

Insajderske informacije na sunce! 😀

Ne znam da li ste obratili paznju ali trenutno je aktuelna borba za Top 4 nosioca na RG (sto je bitno u izbegavanju Rafe (i Novaka) u QF, odnosno Tima). Kad se skinu proslogodisnji bodovi pred RG (a relevantni za odredjivanje nosilaca) situacija je sledeca: Novak – 10755 Rafa – 6585 Fed – 5590 A Zverev – 3965 (dodato 45 bodova iz ovogodisnjeg Minhena) Tim – 4475 (nece mu jos biti skinuti bodovi od proslogodisnjeg Liona) Novak je sigurno #1 nosilac, Rafa #2. Posto Fed samo igra Madrid za Rafu je dovoljno da se pojavi u Madridu ili Rimu i dobije 10 bodova pa da definitivno obezbedi #2 mesto nosioca. Ne verujem da ce Fed zapinjati da makne Rafu s #2 jer mu ne menja situaciju. Fed moze da zaradi dodatnih max. 1000 bodova (mada teoretski moze i da odigra Rim, jos se nije zvanicno povukao), Zverev 2205, a Tim 2000. Razlike u bodovima (u ovoj listi gore) su: RF – AZ = 1625 RF – DT = 1115 DT – AZ = 510 Kako AZ moze da osvoji 205 bodova vise od DT, znaci da AZ treba da obezbedi bar 306 bodova vise od DT u Madridu i Rimu zajedno (ako osvoji Minhen) da bi bio ispred njega na listi (#3 ili #4 nosilac). Inace jos i vise (u zavisnosti od toga koliko izgubi u Minhenu). Fed ulaskom u QF u Madridu matematicki obezbedjuje Top 4 mesto nosioca, sta god da urade Tim i Zverev (makar pokupili maksimum bodova u Minhenu, Rimu i Madridu). Posto ova dvojica nema sanse da podele ove 3 titule (i to AZ mora da osvoji bar jedan masters), verovatno ce Fedu biti dovoljno i nesto manje bodova za sigurno Top 4 mesto. Ako se negde nisam zeznula u proracunu, ovo bi trebalo da bude scenario.

Novak je u fazonu pomaganja less fortunate. Recimo da veliki igraci hoce da ostave nesto za sobom kao zaostavstinu (pored sportskih rezultata). Pa imas Federera s Laver kupom, Rafa se bavi svojom akademijom, a evo Novak ovim, sto je potpuno u skladu s filozofijom Amor y paz. Ne znam koliko dugo pratis tenis na B92, ali negde oko onog finala DC 2010 na forumu je pisao neko ko je licno poznavao Novaka, Janka, Viktora i desavanja unutar reprezentacije. Pa je napisao nesto u stilu da je Novak zaista bas dobar covek (ono "u dusi", da se zrtvuje za kolektiv itakoto) - da ne duzim sad. Sve je to bilo pre bilo kakve Novak manije u Srbiji. Takodje, Janko je prakticno sve to potvrdio u Tennis Podcastu Davida Law-a pre koju sedmicu. Kad su pre desetak godina Big 3 zajedno ucestvovali u radu Saveta igraca (Fed kao predsednik, Rafa kao podpredsednik a Novak kao clan) bila je fora da se najveca imena iskoriste i da se obezbedi veci kolac i bolji uslovi za igrace (vecita borba u profesionalnom tenisu, jos od osnivanja ATP - Edberg, WIlander i Mekinro su takodje bili vrlo aktivni u svoje vreme). Tada su uspeli da izboksuju bitna povecanja nagradnog fonda na GS-ovima i jos neke stvari. To je ono vreme kad se Rafa zalagao da se rang lista pravi na osnovu poslednje 104 sedmice, a ne 52 (jer je on zbog povreda cesto odsustvovao, a ovako je hteo da obezbedi da ga protivnici ne preteknu bas tako lako 😉 ), pa je lobirao da se WTF igra na sljaci (da bi mogao da ga osvoji 😉 ) i jos neke stvari. Federer se nije slagao s ovim. Bilo je jos nekih neslaganja medju njima, progurao je "svog" coveka za CEO ATP umesto Nadalovog (mozda je ovo prethodno bilo malo grubo prema Nadalu, mozda su neke njegove ideje koje nisu prosle bile i dobre, ali ih je Fed "preglasao") - sve u svemu pukla je bila tikva medju Fedalom, pa je Rafa tada javno svasta nesto negativno rekao o Fedu (tada nije bilo velike ljubavi i prijateljstva medju njima 😉 ). Elem, nedugo posle toga "velika imena" su se povukla iz PC, da bi pre nekih 3-4-5 godina Novak i Endi ponovo usli u PC, Novak kao predsednik, Endi kao podpredsednik (pri cemu su britanksi mediji radili kampanju da Endi kao veliki "feminista" postane predsednik - ali nije proslo. Oni koji prate situaciju kazu da je od tada britanska stampa narocito negativna prema Novaku). Inace, pre koju godinu sam slusala Stakovskog koji je bio gost u nekom americkom podkastu (valjda SI-a) i u kome je govorio o tome kako igraci uopste nisu svesni kako stvari funkcionisu u okviru ATP-a (nemaju vremena (ni znanja) da se bave time jer im je primarni posao tenis, menadzeri se brinu o svemu (a oni su i deo problema ), mladi igraci su tek usli u sve to i treba vremena dok se pohvataju svi konci, a dok se to desi obicno se karijere vec i zavrsavaju), koliko se tu novca i interesa vrti. Rekao je da je njemu trebalo poprilicno vremena da sve to pohvata ali da sada zna poprilicno o svemu. I to je verovatno i razlog zasto ga biraju u PC - jer zna kako stvari funkcionisu i sta se sve desava i kako. Pospisil je ocigledno posao njegovim stopama. Elem, procitah ovih dana (mislim da je to komentarisala kanadska novinarka Stefani Majls) kako je Gimelstob (koji je u Bordu od 2008, od vremena kad je Fed bio na celu PC) ovo sad najzad uspeo da ubedi No. 1 da se bas aktivira i zalegne za promene u ATP. Ne znam koliko je ovo tacno i koliko je sve to bas sam uticaj GImelstoba (Novak je i onako sklon tim pomaganjima slabijima), ali je ocigledno da je Gimelstob bio trn u oku predstavnicima turnira i agencijama (IMG). Tako da je njegovo ludovanje u privatnom zivotu doslo kao kec na 10 da ga maknu. Kakav je udeo Fedove i Goldstikove agencije Team8 u celoj prici (ima li tu nekog rivaliteta s IMG) - ne znam. Ali postoje poslovne veze izmedju njih i Tennis Channel-a (gde je Gimelstob radio) i tennis.com sajta. U svakom slucaju na delu je borba za vlast, mocu, uticaj u okviru ATP (velike se pare vrte, a igraci su polako postali svesni kolike i "hoce svoj deo"). Za Novaka bi daleko bezbolnije bilo da se ne gnjavi svim ovim i ne trosi energiju (sebi i svojim potomcima je zaradio dosta), vec da se fokusira na tenis i osvajanje GS titula, ali on eto voli da se bori s vetrenjacama, pa to ti je!

Evo ga tekst: Control of Men's Tennis Is at Stake in Bitter Dispute By John Feinstein October 3, 1985

Pa lepa je to parica, 100000$ godisnje 😄 pogotovu za neke koji nisu bas ostvarili puno u karijeri. Plus tu je par tipova povezanih s agencijama (IMG) koje bi (pretpostavljam) htele da zadrze kontrolu nad Bordom i ATP-om. Jedan od clanova Borda (s strane turnira) je potpredsednik IMG: Pogledaj ovaj clanak iz 1985 - neke stvari se i nisu bas promenile 😞 : https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/sports/1985/10/03/control-of-mens-tennis-is-at-stake-in-bitter-dispute/9024f8e8-5116-4296-a880-a43edcf73eae/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.5a689b2dafe2

Javilo se 15 kandidata da zamene Gimelstoba: https://tennis.life/2019/05/01/candidates-15-stand-for-atp-tour-board-spot/ Brandon Burke (JAM/CAN) - The 26-year-old, a former top-100 junior and Davis Cup player for Jamaica, played Ivy League tennis at Brown University and graduated with a B.A. in sociology. In 2018, he graduated from law school at York University in North York, Ont. (the Rogers Cup facility is on the campus of that university) with a Doctor of law (J.D.) degree. While there, he was a member of the Entertainment and Sports Law Association. - ja lepo rekoh mogao je i neko od nas da se prijavi 😄 Weller Evans (USA) - Evans, now 64, is the longtime former ATP Tour manager and executive vice-president, player services. He retired in 2006 after 25 years. He also was an account executive at IMG in 1983-84. He served on the (then) Men’s Tennis Council from 1985-1989 as one of the three player representatives on a council that also included reps from the ITF and the tournaments. Evans played on the Tour occasionally, from 1981 through 1989 – almost exclusively in doubles. But there is no record of his having won a match. Brad Gilbert (USA) Jose Hernandez-Fernandez (DOM) - The 29-year-old from the Dominican Republic is still an active Tour player. He’s currently ranked No. 280 in singles. His career-high ranking of No. 179 came in 2015. Hernandez-Fernandez played college tennis at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, N.C. The Dominican played in the Bordeaux Challenger this week. He lost in the first round to ITF-reserve entry Oriol Roca Batalla of Spain. Mark Knowles (BAH)- The longtime doubles star, 47, retired in 2016 after a standout career where he made his name in doubles. Knowles won 55 doubles titles and made the finals 44 additional times. His most successful partnership came with Canadian Daniel Nestor. He won titles every season but one, between 1993 and 2012. That’s remarkable longevity. Nestor and Knowles won the Australian Open, French Open and US Open among their many trophies Knowles reached the No. 1 ranking in doubles for the first time in 2012. Knowles, who went to UCLA, has done some coaching (notably, he has worked with both Milos Raonic and Stan Wawrinka during the grass-court swings, and American Ryan Harrison). He also is a sports ambassador for the Bahamas, and works in real estate. As well, he’s been an analyst on Tennis Channel since 2013. Steve Krulevitz (USA)- The former top-50 Tour player, now 67, is Baltimore born and raised and has dual Israeli-American citizenship. Nicknamed “Lightning”, he self-published a memoir in 2017. Krulevitz earned a Bachelor of Science degree in kinesiology from UCLA in 1974. He also played on the varsity team, and at one time was the No. 7 junior player in the U.S. and named to the junior Davis Cup team. He played on Tour for a decade, reaching a career high of No. 70 in singles, and winning four titles in doubles. After his career, he founded the Steve Krulevitz Tennis Program and in 2015, was named USPTA Mid-Atlantic High School coach of the year. Luke Jensen (USA) - Jensen, 52, was the French Open men’s doubles champion in 1992 with brother Murphy. He reached a career high of No. 168 in singles, but got to No. 6 in doubles, with 10 career titles. Notably, he could serve with both arms and seriously messed with people. The brothers brought a whole new level of fun to the game. He was the women’s head tennis coach at Syracuse University from 2006-2014. But he resigned early in the 2014 season, officially to “pursue other opportunities”. It emerged that there had been issues, reportedly of inappropriate conduct, with several members of the team. Jensen continued to do good work at a tennis academy for children and young adults with Down Syndrome. He’s the Director of racquet sports at the West Side Tennis Club in Forest Hills, NY, the longtime former home of the US Open. Nicolás Lapentti (ECU) - From Ecuador, the 42-year-old reached No. 6 in the ATP Tour rankings in 1999, and has five career singles titles. He is from an accomplished tennis family. His brothers Giovanni and Leonardo also played professionally. And his uncle, Andrés Gomez, and cousins Roberto and Emilio Gomez have done the same. Gomez, notably, is the 1990 French Open champion. Lapentti played in 38 Davis Cup ties from 1993 through 2010, posting a 41-16 record in singles. He ran for the presidency of the Ecuadorian Tennis Federation in 2012, and served for several years. He remains on the federation’s board. Lapentti currently is involved in a lot of different areas. He has a television production company called Play On Media. And he is president of a family-owned real estate development outside Guayaquil called Bahia Muyoyo. Peter Lawler (USA) - Lawler, who did his undergraduate degree at Yale and graduated from Georgetown law, had a long career in the agency business. He was one of the founders of the original Advantage International agency in 1983, and was its managing director from 1983 to 2007. The company was rebranded as Octagon in 1997. This eye-opening story from the Washington Post in … 1985, in which Lawler is quoted, is astonishing in the sense that when you read it, the names may have changed. But the issues in tennis haven’t changed in more than three decades. Notably, Lawler was long married to WTA Tour president Mickey Lawler, who ran the tennis division at Octagon for many years. The couple is now divorced. Tim Mayotte (USA) Austin Nunn (USA) - The American has experience in communication for the WTA Tour and World Team Tennis. He also has worked on behalf of various players including Milos Raonic. Trilingual, Nunn’s experiences range from partnership management, international PR, event management, media strategy, Content, event marketing, sponsor sales and talent management. Nicolas Pereira (VEN) - Pereira was a standout junior player, winning the French Open, Wimbledon and US Open junior boys’ titles in 1988. (He didn’t play the Australian Open that year). As a pro, he didn’t quite reach those lofty heights. Pereira reached No. 74 in singles, with two titles, and also was a top-50 doubles player. These days, he’s a host and television analyst for the Spanish arm of ESPN, and has experience in sports marketing and PR. He speaks four languages, and has been a voting member of the Tennis Hall of Fame since 2015. Pereira also has been an ATP Tour Alumni Committee member since 2016. Michael Russell (USA) - The American, who turns 41 today, retired four years ago after a long career during which he was renowned as one of the hardest-working players on Tour. After being named Rookie of the Year at the University of Miami, he turned pro in 1998. In a career that began in 1997 and wrapped up in 2015, he reached a career high of No. 60. While he was on Tour he also earned a degree in business administration from the University of Phoenix in 2012. He has a tennis coaching business in Texas, and has worked with Ryan Harrison. Daniel Vallverdu - Vallverdu, a Venezuelan who has also worked with Andy Murray and Tomas Berdych, is currently the coach of Tour player Grigor Dimitrov. He reached a career best No. 55 in the ITF rankings as a junior. He partnered up with the likes of Fabio Fognini and Pablo Andujar in doubles back then. But his most frequent partner was Murray, with whom he has maintained a long friendship. The two first met at the Sánchez-Casal Academy in Barcelona when they were just 15. The 33-year-old didn’t break into the top 700 on the ATP Tour during a career that spanned 2004-10. And he quickly turned to coaching. But not before graduating from the University of Miami in 2009, with a BA in International Marketing and Finance. Vallverdu was voted in as a coaches’ representative on the ATP Player Council in June, 2018. Modesto (Tito) Vasquez (ARG) - Vasquez, from Argentina, is the nation’s former Davis Cup captain. Spanish-born, he moved to Argentina with his family at a young age, after the Spanish Civil War. From 1967-71, he played college tennis at UCLA. Among his teammates was the legendary Jimmy Connors. The 70-year-old held the Davis Cup post from 1986-1988, and returned in 2008 to replace Alberto Mancini, who had resigned after Argentina lost to Spain in the final. It had been a controversial decision, as Guillermo Vilas and Martin Jaite had also been candidates. He lasted two years. Vasquez coached Victor Pecci when Pecci made the 1979 French Open final. And he not only was the Argentina Davis Cup captain, he did the same for Paraguay and Venezuela – which has to be some kind of record.

Posto su se Rafini navijaci izgubili netragom, ili ih mrzi da pisu ili su prestari... evo da ja otvorim ovu temu jer nema smisla da jedan takav igrac i kandidat za GOAT-a nema temu na ovom pdf. Rafael Nadal - Kralj sljake, covek koji je s tog mesta sklonio legendarnog Bjorna Borga, koji ima neverovatnih 92,53% pobeda u mecevima na sljaci, koji je osvojio sve sto se osvojiti moze na sljaci, rekordnih 11 RG titula (vise nego i jedan drugi teniser na jednom GS), koji ima Karijerni Slam, i to zlatni (sto njegovi takmaci za titulu GOAT-a nemaju), 196 sedmica na broju 1, najveci borac koga je teniski svet ikada video, neki kazu i mentalno najjaci teniser (mada ga s vremena na vreme njegovi razocarani fanovi nazivaju mentalnim patuljkom 😉 )... E pa narode, tema je tu, pa pisite...

Naravno da nisam na Gimelstobovoj strani! Ali lako je sad praviti se hrabar kad je sve prakticno svrsena stvar. Uostalom Gimelstob ce da leti koliko u Rimu. Oba protivkandidata mi deluju sasvim ozbiljno i Gilbert i Mayotte. I trebalo bi da se oba zalazu za interese igraca. Sad je samo pitanje koji bi mogao bolje. Mayotte je vec bio u Savetu igraca i ucestvovao u "pobuni" protiv turnira i za vece pare. Gilbert ima dovoljnu medijsku eksponiranost i cini se autoritet. Treba izvagati.

Valjda je Wawrinka poslao svoje misljenje clanovima Saveta igraca i ATP-u, a ne samo ovako na twiteru. Ili mu je sad malo dosadno posto je raskinuo s Donnom pa trazi paznju.

Pa ako njega mrzi da pise hajde ti otvori Filipovu temu, kao prosli put.

Da li sad ovo znaci da ce Beker pokusati da pomogne Sasi kad Lendl nije tu - ne znam. Beker je na celu "razvoja muskog tenisa u Nemackoj" - tako nekako mu glasi titula.

Ukratko: izbacice plasticne kese za rekete, povecali su nagradne fondove, novi krov je spreman, od sledece godine bi i oni mozda mogli da ubace sat za merenje vremena pred servis, ubacili su novi protokol o zatvaranju krova...
