I Loki ce se sloziti sa Pilicem
Nole, čuvaj se Marija!
Legendarni Nikola Pilić o favoritima na Australijen openu
Ponedeljak - 16.01.2012
Novak Đoković vratio se na „mesto zločina“ u Melburn, odakle je prošle godine započela jedna od najsperktakularnijih sezona u istoriji belog sporta.

Australijen open prvi je veliki izazov za branioca trofeja i nesumnjivo najboljeg tenisera sveta, ali izazivača ima puno i zato će maksimalna ozbiljnost srpskog tenisera već od prvog kola biti neophodna.
Veći deo javnosti bi za najveće i najozbiljnije favorite, pored Novaka, izabrao Nadala i Federera, ali ne i iskusni teniski vuk Nikola Pilić.
- Endi Mari je promenio trenera, sada je tu Ivan Lendl, koji mu svojim ogromnim igračkim iskustvom može puno pomoći, možda već od Melburna. Naravno da niko ne sme potceniti Rafu ili Rodžera, ali treba imati na umu da je Španac promenio reket, da sada ima težu glavu kako bi dobio na dubini udarca i da Federer očigledno ima problema s fizičkom pripremljenošću - rekao je ze „Alo!“ Pilić.
Novak Đoković je, kao i prošle godine, imao samo trening mečeve pre Australijen opena.
- On je pametan momak i sigurno da sa svojim timom pažljivo donosi odluke. Ne treba sumnjati u odluku da ne igra nijedan turnir do Melburna jer se prošle godine ta odluka pokazala kao dobra.
U čemu je razlika između ovog i prošlogodišnjeg Melburna za Novaka?
- Rezlika je velika, jer je sada prvi nosilac, što znači da se ne može sastati pre finala s drugim i trećim na listi. On se za tu privilegiju izborio fenomenalnim rezultatima u prošloj godini, a Asutralijen open je, kao što se pokazalo 2011. godine, odlična odskočna daska za nastavak sezone, posebno sa stanovišta samopouzdanja - smatra Pilić.
Ko su po Vama favoriti iz senke?
- Conga i Delpotro, njih se treba paziti. Turnir u Melburnu je izuzetno zahtevan, vladaju često izuzetno velike vrućine i organizam se strašno prazni. Zato treba biti fokusiran od početka, čuvati snagu, jer treba igrati dve nedelje do završnice - zaključio je Pilić.

Ana i Jelena moraju bolje
Kada je reč o srpskim teniserkama Ani Ivanović i Jeleni Janković, Pilić očekuje mnogo bolje rezultate nego prošle godine.
- Mislim da obe teniserke poseduju mnogo bolje tenisko znanje nego što to njihov rang govori. Siguran sam da će već od Australijen opena početi da upisuju veći broj pobeda. Što se tiče favorita kod žena, neću reći ništa novo ako u najuži krug favorita ubrojim Serenu Vilijams, Karolinu Voznijacki, pa i Veru Zvonarevu.

Molim te Boze da je ovo slobodna interpretacija novinara, molim te.

[Gama]

Verovatno je to rekao kad je vec video zreb. Stvarno ne moze pre finala sa 2. Rafom i 3. Fedom

[Starsica]

Ali se on pre finala moze sastati sa trecim nosiocem Jedino ako je to sto kazes, da je to rekao posto je video zreb.

[Liv]

Ja sam shvatila da je rekao da ne moze da se sretne sa drugim i trecim jer je prvi.

[Starsica]

Zar mu ne dodje na isto? U ovom kontekstu, prvi nosilac ne moze da sretne sa drugim ili trecim nosiocem pre finala, a sa trecim moze u polufinalu.

[Liv]

Pa moze da se sretne s trecim u polufinalu. Nije dobio Endija jer je prvi. Tako da je ili lapsus il' los prevod. Il' mi znamo vise od Pilica

[Liv]

Rafa je postao kao neka baba. Kukanje o povredama, kukanje o sezoni. Volela bih da vidim onog starog koji manje prica vise dela.
Komentari o Fedu su me razocarali prosto jer kao sto on ima pravo da kaze sta misli o duzini sezone, tako i ovaj ima pravo da misli sta hoce i (ne)izjasni se. Zasto bi Fedov problem bio to sto drugi ne mogu da izdrze tempo? A nesto ne vidim ni da su ostali sa tura uzeli Rafu za advokata.

Evo i Davidenko priča o Federeru:

Davydenko, like Nadal, discusses Federer's stance

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP)—Roger Federer’s reticence to join other players in voicing complaints about issues affecting the men’s game came under fire again at the Australian Open on Monday.

Former No. 3-ranked Nikolay Davydenko said he didn’t understand why the 16-time Grand Slam champion wasn’t supporting the push to address player grievances, including the schedule and the distribution of prize money.

Davydenko’s remarks came a day after Rafael Nadal criticized his Swiss rival for sitting back while others speak out and “burn themselves.”

“I don’t know why Roger is not supporting the players,” Davydenko said. “Because he don’t want … any problems. He’s nice guy. He’s winning Grand Slams. He’s from Switzerland. He’s perfect.

“He don’t want to do anything, he just try to be an outsider from this one.”

For the second time in six months, rumors of a possible strike emerged following Saturday’s player meeting in Melbourne' href='http://tennis.com/tournaments/australianopen/australian-open.aspx' target='_top' >MELBOURNE. Davydenko said a strike was still a distant prospect, but that the players would meet again at the Indian Wells Masters tournament in March.

“The ATP should try to do something between now and Indian Wells,” he said. “For sure, all the top 100 players will go there and just see what will be changed.”

The Russian said he did not support the idea of a shorter season, a change that is backed by Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray, but he agrees that prize money has not increased in line with growing profits at Grand Slam tournaments.

Prize money is also an issue at the Indian Wells tournament, where Davydenko said those players who lose in the first round can sometimes make a loss after paying tax and travel costs to contest the tournament.

Federer did sit with the players and listen at Saturday’s meeting, according to Davydenko, who also said the top four players were supposed to meet on Sunday.

“I don’t know what was happening,” Davydenko said. “You need to ask why (of) Federer. I’ll also be interesting what Federer says. If you guys ask Federer why he don’t want to do, why he don’t want to support players, I will be interested in the answer.”

Nadal reacted strongly on Sunday when it was suggested that Federer disliked it when players complained openly about problems on the tour because it tarnished the image of tennis.

“No, I totally disagree,” he said in comments translated from Spanish. “For him it’s good to say nothing. Everything positive. ‘It’s all well and good for me, I look like a gentleman,’ and the rest can burn themselves.

“Everyone is entitled to have their own opinions.”

Patrick Mouratoglou:

The six matches that changed everything

2011 was a decisive year for the tennis world.
Everybody praised Novak Djokovic who, surprising many, clinched three Grand Slam titles and the No.1 spot. The Serbian was hailed with all manner of names, including "invincible", and was said to be from another planet.
Rafael Nadal meanwhile had worries: he looked shaken by the loss of his titles and aura.
Roger Federer was not consistent, although his second half of the season was better. He only reached one Grand Slam final, which is disappointing for him.
Six matches decided the year in Djokovic's favour. Had Nadal won half of those matches - the six finals he lost to Djokovic - then the doubts expressed about him would not be so numerous.
The Spaniard, however, had a very good season. He lacked only those Grand Slam titles - and had he won three of the six, the Djokovic phenomenon would not even have existed.
Djokovic did not walk on water; like Nadal, he reached the finals of the most important events of the year. What if he had faced Roger Federer instead, considering that the Swiss beat him in the French Open semi-final and had two match points at the US Open?
The three players all dominated in 2011 - and it is very interesting to see how they all have technical and tactical issues with one another.
Nole is a technical and tactical issue for Nadal: the Serbian really hurt him in 2011 and is the cause of all his disappointments and the psychological consequences. Nadal is now a player facing 'failure'.
Novak managed this due to a mixture of factors. Firstly, he has a splendid backhand that helps him handle the topspin on the diagonal with Rafa's forehand - a huge problem for Federer. Then, he dominates on the other diagonal - his forehand against Nadal's backhand. To get out of this, Nadal has to play down the line, but he is then in danger of being attacked by the Serbian, who is now on his best shot - the backhand again.
Nole knows, compared with most of the other players, how to move up the court and take the ball early in order to speed the game up when Nadal is playing short - something happening more and more. He never waits for the Spaniard's topspin to take full hold and regularly moves from defence to attack because of excellent ground cover.
Finally, the big difference between those matches won or lost is the way Djokovic deals with the return of serve. These two players have played each other 29 times, with Nadal leading 16-13 despite having lost the last six. Djokovic has nearly the same percentage of points won on his serve, but he's much more efficient on the return. So it's on Nadal's serve that all the difference lies, because Nole had 29 and 47 per cent of points won on first and second serve when he lost, and 40 and 63 when he won. The Serb now prevents Nadal from assuming an attacking position after his serve - that was the big change in 2011.
In the same way that Djokovic is now the obstacle on Nadal's road to success, Rafa was the issue for Federer. Nadal took the Swiss's throne, and his titles, for technical and tactical reasons.
The Swiss had not dropped his level - he was just facing issues created by the Spaniard in the major finals. Nadal had to get injured for Federer to win his first French Open, and he went on to win Wimbledon and snatch the No.1 spot.
Rafa now has two options: either find a solution to Nole or hope for an injury or dip in the Serb's motivation.
Unless another player, such as Andy Murray, starts to reach Grand Slam finals regularly, 2012 is bound to look like 2011

Ko zna sta je bilo na sastanku u nedelju kad su 'svi' revoltirani . Rafa besan, Fed misli da je mesija licno koji treba da spasi ugled tenisa a Davidenko brine, nista neobicno za njega, o raspodeli para na turniru . Cirkus
Fed, kao predstavnik igraca u odboru, treba da brine o interesima vecine igraca a ne manjine, na cemu mu najvise zamera Rafa. Fed ocito ne zeli da se zamera uticajnim ljudima u ATP odboru kad je ionako vec na zalasku karijere. Ali valjda su ga igraci izabrali, nemam pojma kako to ide. Uglavnom, neka se snalazi svako za sebe, kako ce i sta ce
