Nicolas Mahut

[Rroggerr]

Powinien 3. rundę zrobić na AO (chyba, że Vasek robi zasłonę dymną w stylu Rafy czyli ''gram słabo, wszystko mnie boli, a potem zgarniam co mi się spodoba''), więc wypadałoby odpowiedzieć, że tak.

[Mario]

Chyba już pod koniec zeszłego sezonu pisałem, że kwestią czasu jest pobicie tego rankingu. Nicolas do s'Hertogenbosch nie broni kompletnie nic, a w przypadku wygrania jednego meczu w Melbourne bardzo zbliży się do top 40. W perspektywie 3 halowe turnieju (tam 2 ćwierćfinały to absolutnie minimum), więc przy dobrych wiatrach może być nawet rozstawiony w Paryżu.

Nicolas ma dzisiaj urodziny. Wszystkiego najlepszego.

Nie wiem czego życzyć, może tytuł RG w mikście albo deblu (gdyby porządnie się tym zajął) byłby realny.

CH: Mahut najlepszy w ST. Brieuc.

Open Harmonie Mutuelle St Brieuc (Saint-Brieuc, France): Nicolas Mahut had his back against the wall in Sunday's Saint-Brieuc final, with Yuichi Sugita serving for the title at 6-3, 5-4. But the third-seeded Frenchman dug deep, breaking the Japanese, forcing a decider and eventually claiming his 12th ATP Challenger Tour crown. Mahut prevailed 3-6, 7-6(3), 6-4 in two hours and 35 minutes, becoming the seventh different French titlist in the 12-year history of the tournament.

Mahut Adds to Grass Haul With Title at Topshelf Open

Spoiler:

Nicolas Mahut added a second Topshelf Open title (also 2013) to his grass-court haul, defeating second seed David Goffin 7-6(1), 6-1 in 77 minutes.
The match promised to be an interesting contrast in styles, with the 6’3” Frenchman adept at rushing the net and the 5’11” Goffin one of the best in the world at passing on the run.
Typical for a match this week on the Dutch grass courts, the first set ended without a break of serve. But for a while it looked as if the French qualifier was in trouble.
Mahut defended only two of nine second serve points in the set and faced a 0/40 deficit on his serve at 4-4. However, a costly forehand miss by Goffin and several timely net rushes from Mahut negated the Belgian’s advantage. Both men took care of their subsequent service games to reach 6-all.
Early in the tie-break, Mahut showed variety on the backhand wing, alternating one-handed drives and slices before cracking a winner cross-court on the rally’s 35th shot. The highlight reel play staggered Goffin. The second seed would end up dropping the tie-break 7-1.
There was no letdown from Mahut in the opening games of the second set. Despite spending many more hours on court than his opponent, having made the final in the doubles draw (l. to Karlovic/Kubot), Mahut drew first blood and broke Goffin for a 2-1 second-set lead off the Belgian’s baseline error.
"Yesterday I was feeling really tired, but my physio did a great job to get me ready for today's match," offered Mahut. "It was a very tense first set, but after one-all [Goffin] was missing some shots and I felt more and more confident [in the second set]."
Going a set and a break down lit a fire under Goffin, who began playing more offensively in an attempt to make up for lost ground. But Mahut held strong, and managed to extend his lead with another break to take a commanding advantage in the match.
"It was really tough to lose the first set," admitted the Belgian, who confessed to not feeling one-hundred percent on the court. "I had trouble with my neck today, so it was tough to serve and to return the ball when the pace was fast."
Mahut closed out the encounter with a winning volley to recapture a trophy he first lifted two years ago. It was his third career ATP World Tour title since turning pro in 2000, all of them on grass (2013 ‘s-Hertogenbosch, 2013 Newport).
"I think I played better here this year than two years ago," remarked Mahut. "From the first round I was hitting the ball really well."
Currently ranked No. 97 in the Emirates ATP Rankings, the 33 year-old fast-court specialist, who reached a career-high of No. 37 last spring, looks to be in good stead for the remainder of the grass season.

Właśnie mija (tzn. trwa od wczoraj do jutra) 5 rocznica pamiętnego meczu z Isnerem, dlatego wrzucam ku odświeżeniu pamięci. Dokument głównie po francusku (pojedyncze zdania rozumiem), ale ludzie ze strony Isnera mówią po angielsku, w dodatku najciekawsze/najważniejsze fragmenty spotkania. Polecam (tym, którzy nie oglądali, bo filmik od lat krąży w sieci).

Herbert/Mahut Win Doubles Crown

Spoiler:

Frenchmen Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Nicolas Mahut clinched the US Open men’s doubles title and their first Grand Slam with a 6-4, 6-4 win over eighth seeds Jamie Murray and John Peers.
The 12th seeds saved all five break points faced and needed 1 hour and 9 minutes to dispatch the British-Australian team. Herbert converted the team’s second match point with a backhand volley winner. They are the first all-French team to win the doubles title at Flushing Meadows and their victory marks the ninth Grand Slam in a row that has been won by a different men’s doubles team.
Herbert gave credit to his partner, with whom he lost the 2015 Australian Open doubles final to Fabio Fognini and Simone Bolelli. Herbert was 0-4 at majors prior to partnering Mahut at the 2015 Australian Open, where they reached the final. "He deserves it, he came to me last year and said, 'Come on, let's play together, I believe in you’,” recalled Herbert. "It feels incredible...[I'm] so grateful to be here."
"I've never seen someone play the last game like this in a Grand Slam final," Mahut said of Herbert's volleys in the final game, which enabled them to break. "It was unbelievable." The 33-year-old Mahut said he was proud to be part of the first French men's doubles team to win the US Open. "It's a privilege to hold the trophy," he said.
“I’m starting to know what Andy felt like for a long time,” said Murray, who along with Peers, lost the 2015 Wimbledon doubles final against Jean-Julien Rojer and Horia Tecau. “We’re going to keep trying to get over the line and get a Grand Slam title.” By reaching the final, Murray/Peers boosted their chances of qualifying for their maiden Barclays ATP World Tour Finals. They're currently No. 5 in the Emirates ATP Doubles Race to London.
"It was very disappointing [and] hurts a bit, but we had a good year," said Peers, noting that the duo are close to reaching their goal of appearing at the O2 Arena in November. "You've got to take the positives from it, even though it hurts now. [It] gives you a bit more hunger to go forward and keep working hard," he added.

An Interview With: Pierre-Hugues Herbert & Nicolas Mahut (Finals win USO 15)

Spoiler:

Q. This is your first major title for either of you. Can you describe how that feels for you right now?

PIERRE-HUGUES HERBERT: It feels incredible. I mean, like I said on the court, he came to see me just last year before I played that well in Tokyo and everything, and for a long time he tells me you're a good doubles player. Last year he believed in me and he said, Let's go do a year. So, I mean, so grateful to be here. I think we don't understand right now what is happening.

NICOLAS MAHUT: I do. I do.

PIERRE-HUGUES HERBERT: You do? Me I'm still maybe too young. I don't see it. But, yeah, it's just great, and we had fun, actually. We just had fun on the court. It's everything. The whole week was just fun, was great.

Q. First French team to win this. What does it mean to you, to the country, and how big of a deal is that going to be?

NICOLAS MAHUT: It's big, but I remember back in '85 or '87 something like that, when Noah and Leconte were in the final. I think they had to win this one, and for some reason they didn't. No, it's great to be the first French team to win this one. Yeah, it's a privilege to hold the trophy, and now it's time to celebrate.

Q. Could you talk a little bit about the match today, the chemistry you had out there, and how the match played out?

PIERRE-HUGUES HERBERT: I mean, I think a lot of Grand Slam finals, when you are new at it, is played before. I mean, you have to prepare. I had my first Grand Slam final in Australia with Nico, and the preparation was not good enough. And so I arrived -- I think I arrived on court not prepared. I think today we were prepared for that. And even if we had some tough moments like, for example, the beginning where we are Love-40 down, we were calm, remain calm, and we just played our game. In the end, yeah, I mean, we played great.

NICOLAS MAHUT: The last game was not that good from you.

PIERRE-HUGUES HERBERT: Last game I didn't play that well. (Smiling.) I think, yeah, because we had good opponents today and I think they played quite a good match. We were able to play even better. So it's just good to be able to do that in a Grand Slam final.

Q. Do you think it's going to be a compensation for history, compensation for your country and for your personal? I mean, the Four Musketeers winning 27 doubles titles 80 years ago, but since never crossed the line, just the semifinal at the US Open, and you just come and win the title. And personally, as your single achievement always something near but missing the point. Against Djokovic two set points two years ago at the ATP Masters. Nicolas, you have some great achievement in the singles, but always missing something. Do you think this is a compensation, this achievement, for your country and for you?

NICOLAS MAHUT: I don't think that way. Just really happy about winning a slam. That was our goal, to win a slam. We will try to win another one, but we don't think about losing singles or whatever. I'm just happy about what happened today.

PIERRE-HUGUES HERBERT: I think it feels even greater to win and to know that --

NICOLAS MAHUT: After losing you mean?

PIERRE-HUGUES HERBERT: Not after losing, but to know no French team won it. When you think about it, you are thinking about the musketeers...

NICOLAS MAHUT: The real one or the new ones? (Laughter.)

Q. The old ones.

PIERRE-HUGUES HERBERT: The old ones, 27 titles. (In French.) Brugnon, Lacoste, Borotra, Cochet. O'la la. (In French.) So, yeah, it's great. 27 semifinal they never won it, and we did it once. Yeah, we had fun. Like I said before, we were not thinking about this before, and I didn't want to think about it. The only thing we are thinking about was play on the court, go, and have fun and play your best. That's what we did and we won it. Now we can think about what you said.

Starty na Antypodach chyba też można zaliczyć do udanych, co?

[Mario]

Pewnie, przed sezonem tylko w meczach z Cecchinato liczyłbym na wygraną. A wygrał aż 3 (z kwalami 5) i przytulił ponad 100 punktów. Byle tylko nie było jak przed dwoma laty, kiedy po niezłej Australii do końca roku był pomiatany przez każdego, kto umie prosto trzymać rakietę.
