Nawet nie będę oponował, bo cały ten świat zmierza w tak marnym kierunku (zabija się wszelką kreatywność i odmienność).

Nawet nie będę oponował, bo cały ten świat zmierza w tak marnym kierunku (zabija się wszelką kreatywność i odmienność).

Nikt nie broni Ci być odmiennym i kreatywnym w opiniach na temat tenisa. Byłaby to wręcz miła odmiana...

Stan pierwszy raz jest najwyżej rozstawiony w turnieju M-1000 (Miami 2017).

Stan Top Seed: World No. 3 Stan Wawrinka is the top seed in an ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournament for the first time in his career. The 31-year-old top Swiss player (turns 32 on 28 March) on the ATP World Tour is making his ninth Miami Open appearance (7-8 record). His best result was the 4R in 2009 (l. to No. 1 Nadal) and 2014 (l. to Dolgopolov).

He is off to a 12-4 start this season and on Sunday he lost to countryman Federer 64 75 in the final at ATP World Tour Masters 1000 Indian Wells. It was his fourth career Masters 100 final (1-3). He also reached the semi-finals in Brisbane and Australian Open (l. to Federer in five sets) in the opening month.

Wawrinka Weighs In On Top Spot In Miami

Spoiler:

Swiss, top seed for first time at Masters 1000, anticipates battle for World No. 1
The man with the nickname “Stanimal” faced a new question during Tuesday’s media day at the Miami Open presented by Itau: What animal would he be, given the choice?
“Depends on the day,” said Stan Wawrinka, after a pause. “I quite like a black panther.”
A panther may befit his status this week in Miami, where he is the top seed for the first time at an ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournament. Additionally, the World No. 3 is riding the confidence of a runner-up finish to countryman Roger Federer in Sunday’s BNP Paribas Open final.
“I’m really happy with the results. I was sad after the loss, but he was playing too good and it was a good final,” said Wawrinka. “I’m feeling confident with my game in general because making the final of the first Masters was great, but here it’s completely different conditions so I’ll see when I start to practise again tomorrow. Hopefully I can do a good result here.”

Wawrinka’s past two appearances on U.S. soil have resulted in final appearances, including last September’s triumph over Novak Djokovic at the US Open, and he will be looking to advance beyond the Round of 16 for the first time on his ninth visit to Key Biscayne.
This week he opens against the winner between Gastao Elias and Horacio Zeballos, with seeded opponents in his quarter including the likes of No. 8 David Goffin, No. 12 Nick Kyrgios, No. 16 Alexander Zverev and No. 18 John Isner. Should he get through his quarter, Wawrinka could face a rematch with two-time Miami champion Federer in the semi-finals.
“From him, nothing is a surprise anymore,” he said. “For sure to see him moving that well at that age it’s something amazing. It’s something that’s good for me, I’m turning 32 (on 28 March), to see that you can still be at the top… It’s just amazing the way he’s playing straight after a six-month injury. That was really special to win the Australian Open. I’m sure this year is going to be big for tennis.”

Wawrinka, currently behind Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic in the Emirates ATP Rankings, anticipated a battle for World No. 1, with Federer making a strong push early in the season. Federer has climbed 10 spots since the start of the year, moving ahead of Rafael Nadal to No. 6 following Indian Wells.
“For sure he has a shot for No. 1,” said Wawrinka. “He won a Slam and the first Masters 1000 so for sure he has a big shot, but it’s going to be interesting to see if Rafa is playing well also. We’ll see when Andy and Novak will come back from injury, so this year will be really interesting for tennis fans.”

I wszystko jasne, pewnie myślał od drugiego seta już tylko o balowaniu.

Ciekawe, czy i Zverev się dołączył, ostatnio po finale w Rosji imprezowali razem.

Wawrinka Retains Geneva Crown

Spoiler:

Swiss notches first title of 2017
It was home cooking for Stan Wawrinka on Saturday at the Banque Eric Sturdza Geneva Open, as the local favourite successfully defended his crown in the Swiss metropolis.
The top seed ousted Mischa Zverev 4-6, 6-3, 6-3 in two hours and 20 minutes to lift the trophy. Wawrinka, who was born in nearby Lausanne, improved to 9-1 in Geneva, having also prevailed last year (d. Cilic). Zverev denied 13 of 18 break points faced, but Wawrinka was clutch in the big moments.
It was the 16th tour-level title for the World No. 3 and first since winning the US Open last year. He takes home €85,945 in prize money and 250 Emirates ATP Rankings points.
"The level was great today, I think it was a great final," said Wawrinka. "Mischa was playing very well and maybe I was hesitating a bit in the beginning. I’m happy that I came back strongly in the second set and managed to turn the match around.
"I’m extremely happy to win my second title in Switzerland. It means a lot to me. This is the first time that my daughter is in the stadium when I win the title and that makes it even more special."
Zverev took the early initiative on a hot Saturday afternoon in Geneva. Wawrinka misfired a backhand long to concede the break for 3-2 and he would relinquish the opener after 47 minutes. But the reigning champion found his rhythm in the second set. The momentum swing was swift and immediate, as Wawrinka escaped danger from 0/40 down with five consecutive clutch serves and he would break in the next game with a mammoth forehand down the line.
A sublime drop shot winner saw the Swiss consolidate for 3-0 and after eventually taking the second set, he sprinted to an early lead in the decider with another immediate break. Zverev would draw level at 2-2, but Wawrinka restored the lead and put his head down to the finish line.

Wawrinka fired a forehand past a net-charging Zverev to secure the title on his first match point. It was sweet revenge for the 32 year old, who fell to Zverev on home soil in the Basel quarter-finals in October. He improves to 2-1 in their FedEx ATP Head2Head series.
Zverev, meanwhile, will leave Geneva following his best week on the ATP World Tour in seven years. Inspired by younger brother Alexander Zverev's breakthrough at the Masters 1000 event in Rome last week, Mischa enjoyed his first final appearance since finishing runner-up in Metz in 2010. They are the first siblings to reach finals in the same season since 2006, when Olivier Rochus won in Munich and Christophe Rochus was runner-up in Rotterdam.
"It was a great week for me here‎ in Geneva," said Zverev. "Playing on clay is usually not easy for me, but I really felt great here playing six matches this week and reaching my first semi-final and final on this surface. Congratulations to Stan for a good week and a great match today."
The 29-year-old Zverev was also the third qualifier to reach an ATP World Tour final in the past month, joining Budapest runner-up Aljaz Bedene and Munich finalist Guido Pella. He won six matches in seven days to reach the final, highlighted by a semi-final victory over second seed Kei Nishikori. It was the seventh Top 10 win of his career. He earns €45,265 and 150 Emirates ATP Rankings points, rising two spots to a projected World No. 31.
Wawrinka and Zverev will next head to Roland Garros for the second Grand Slam of the year. The third-seeded Swiss opens against qualifier Jozef Kovalik, while the 32nd-seeded German faces qualifier Stefano Napolitano.
"I’m looking forward to Roland Garros," added 2015 champion Wawrinka. "This is the kind of week that helps you going into a Grand Slam. I had some great matches here this week."
