WTF U-21 2017

Właśnie widziałem i pozostaje mi modlitwa, że Nadal skończy karierę zanim przeforsują re swoje "innowacje" na amen.

Może wspólna petycja do ATP, jak swego czasu udana próba wyrzucenia Sylwka z Eurosportu?

Niesamowity hejt na ATP idzie w komentarzach.

Jeżeli Zverev utrzyma się w Top-10 to pewnie oleje tę farsę, co jeszcze bardziej pogrąży tych pajaców.

U21 Race to Milan: Zverev way in front. Khachanov moves to 3rd

Spoiler:

Roland Garros brought only one big change in the U21 Race to Milan standings, with Karen Khachanov moving up for 3 spots to be 3rd.

Alexander Zverev may have lost in the first round to Fernando Verdasco, but he is still miles ahead of all the rivals, with 2140 points. Sascha is by far the best U21 player in the world and he is proving that week after week, being very consistent and holding the place inside the Top 10.

Borna Coric lost in the second round in Paris to Steve Johnson but he still holds the second spot with 676 points on his tally. Karen Khachanov was the best U21 player at Roland Garros, reaching the 4th round, and with those points, he propels himself into the 3rd place in the rankings, standing at 515 points.

Hyeon Chung drops to 4th, just 10 points behind Karen, and it will be interesting to see who will collect more points on the grass in the following weeks. Frances Tiafoe is 5th, 100 points behind Chung, losing in the first round at his last two events he played.

Another 50 points behind him is Ernesto Escobedo, who was also defeated in the first round in Paris. Jared Donaldson completes the American contingent in the first 7 places (that gives direct entry to Milan draw) with 337 points, which is the magical number for all the other players behind him.

Daniil Medvedev was an early leader of the U21 Race but he failed to win a match since February, suffering from mononucleosis since the end of March. The Russian will now try to improve his score during the grass season and get himself back into contention for the place in Milan, as his deficit is still not significant.

Casper Ruud is 9th, ahead of Andrey Rublev, who lost in a thriller match in Paris to Diego Schwartzman by 9-7 in the 5th set. Quentin Halys, Alexander Bublik, and Taylor Fritz complete the list of players who gathered at least 200 points, but all of them will have to start scoring some big points soon if they want to have a shot of qualifying.

1. Alexander Zverev (GER, 1997) 2140
2. Borna Coric (CRO, 1996) 676
3. Karen Khachanov (RUS, 1996) 515

Wygląda na to, że ten cyrk będzie okraszony występem trzeciego tenisisty sezonu.

[Rroggerr]

Ten turniej jest tydzień przed WTF, więc zobaczymy czy wystąpi.

[DUN I LOVE]

Mówił, że chce zagrać w obu, ale faktycznie to takie gadanie pewnie. Ja w listopadzie odczuje trudy sezonu to pewnie odpuści.

[Rroggerr]

No właśnie raczej typowałbym grubą jesień Zvereva i skupienie się na normalnym WTF.

Kokkinakis może chyba dostać dziką kartę, jeżeli będzie grać dalej tak dobrze.

[DUN I LOVE]

Przy tak dobrej grze wejdzie do "7" samodzielnie przed listopadem.

ZVEREV FIRST IN MILAN!

Spoiler:

Alexander Zverev's breakout 2017 season has seen him become the first player to qualify for the inaugural Next Gen ATP Finals, to be staged 7-11 November at the Fiera Milano, Italy.
The 20-year-old Zverev will compete in his sixth final of the season Sunday when he battles Roger Federer for the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 crown in Canada. Only Rafael Nadal, seven, and Federer, six, have reached as many or more finals this season.


“I’m excited to have qualified for the first Next Gen ATP Finals in Milan. It’s been a great season so far and I hope it can get even better in the coming weeks,” Zverev said.

Zverev, after winning his maiden title last September at the St. Petersburg Open (d. Wawrinka), has raced to the top of the Emirates ATP Race to Milan this season with deep runs on every surface. In February, he won the indoor hard-court title at the Open Sud de France in Montpellier (d. Gasquet). The 6'6” Zverev backed that title up with two clay-court crowns – the BMW Open by FWU in Munich (d. Pella) and the Internazionali BNL d’Italia in Rome, where he defeated then World-No. 2 Novak Djokovic to become the youngest Masters 1000 titlist since a 19-year-old Djokovic won the 2007 Miami Open presented by Itau.

On grass, Zverev reached another final, falling to Federer at the Gerry Weber Open in Halle. But the German quickly returned to his winning ways, taking the Citi Open crown on the Washington, D.C. hard courts last week for his first ATP World Tour 500-level trophy. He enters Sunday's final at a career-high No. 8 in the Emirates ATP Rankings and with a 45-13 record on the season.

Zverev has taken a commanding lead in the Emirates ATP Race to Milan, but his peers, including Canadian Denis Shapovalov, have made gains on big stages. The 18-year-old Canadian, currently in 11th place in the Race, will surge to fourth with his breakthrough performance on home soil. Shapovalov has beaten Juan Martin del Potro, World No. 2 Rafael Nadal and Frenchman Adrian Mannarino en route to becoming the youngest Masters 1000 semi-finalist (since 1990).


Karen Khachanov, second in the Race, reached the semi-finals in Halle and has made four other ATP World Tour quarter-finals. Russian Andrey Rublev, who will be in fifth place on Monday, celebrated his maiden title last month at the Plava Laguna Croatia Open Umag.

Zverev and seven of the world's other top 21-and-Under players will compete for total prize money of US$ 1.275 million during the season-ending tournament, which will feature a series of rule changes and innovations to be trialled.

Właśnie miałem zapytać, po co te artykuły, przecież Zverev chyba nie będzie brać udziału w tym cyrku?

Na tę chwilę chce grać tu i tu, ale jak zobaczy co się z nim dzieje na jesieni, to w mojej ocenie na 200% wymiksuje się z tego kabaretu.

U21 Race to Milan: Zverev qualifies. Shapovalov moves to 4th!

Spoiler:

Young guns Alexander Zverev and Denis Shapovalov stole the spotlight in Montreal Masters, bringing another 2 great results for the U21 players in this already historic season. After winning the title in Rome, as the first U20 player to do so on the Masters 1000 level since Novak Djokovic in 2007, Alexander went even further, lifting the trophy in Montreal as well.

He saved 3 match points against Richard Gasquet in the second round and beat Roger Federer in the title for his already 5th ATP title of the season, and the third place in the ATP Race. Zverev became only the 6th U20 player since 1990 who won 2 Masters 1000 titles in a season, after Michael Chang, Andrei Medvedev, Marat Safin, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic and also the 6th U20 player with 5 ATP titles in a season.

With immense 4165 points under his belt, Sascha is the first player who qualified for the U21 Masters in Milan and it is almost certain now that he will be among the 8 players in the World Tour Finals in London, getting a chance to play both Masters, which will be very hard to match by the younger players in the future.

Karen Khachanov is still second in the standings with 890 points, despite an early loss in Montreal, while Borna Coric gained 2 places thanks to a first round win over Mikhail Youzhny, collecting 731 points so far.

Just like Zverev, Denis Shapovalov was on a verge of defeat in his opening round match in Montreal, saving 4 match points against Rogerio Dutra Silva, and that gave him a huge boost before the upcoming matches.

He took down Juan Martin del Potro and then scored a huge victory over world number 2 Rafael Nadal in the final set tie break, despite saving 6 break points in the deciding set. Denis went on to reach the semi-final, as the youngest player ever in that round of the Masters 1000 event, and Zverev stopped him in straight sets, in what has been the first all-U20 Masters 1000 semi-final encounter since the one played by Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal in Miami 2007.

With these 360 points, Denis is now the 4th in the standings for Milan and he also cracked the Top 70 in the ATP rankings, with not much to defend until March, so we could expect even further progress of him if he delivers this level of tennis.

Andrey Rublev fell to 5th but he is still safe with these 714 points he gathered, and his compatriot Daniil Medvedev occupies the 6th spot, with 697 points.

Daniil didn't play well in Montreal and Cincinnati, losing convincingly in the first round at both events and he will have to raise his level if he wants to keep this lead over the players behind him. Hyeon Chung had a few rough months behind him but picked up 90 points in Montreal, that still keeps him among the players who are set to play in Milan.

Jared Donaldson is only 20 points behind him in 8th, earning 90 points in Montreal just like Chung. Frances Tiafoe scored his 4th straight loss to Paolo Lorenzi in Montreal and his deficit to the players in front of him is getting bigger and bigger (113 points separates him and Donaldson).

Alexander Bublik won his second Challenger title in Aptos and that helped him to jump for 4 places, standing in 11th. Korean Soon Woo Kwon reached the quarter-final in Jinan and that helped him to reach the Top 20.
