Juan Martin del Potro walczy o powrót do tenisa. "Nie zamierzam kończyć kariery poza kortem"
Okres zawieszenia rozgrywek głównego cyklu w 2020 roku był burzliwy dla Novaka Djokovicia. Głównie ze względu na aferę z Adria Tour. Seria pokazowych turniejów w państwach Półwyspu Bałkańskiego została przedwcześnie zakończona po tym, jak u kilku uczestników, w tym również u Serba, wykryto zakażenie koronawirusem. A cała krytyka spadła właśnie na tenisistę z Belgradu, jako na inicjatora cyklu.
To sprawiło, że Marian Vajda, trener Djokovicia, miał obawy co do dyspozycji swojego podopiecznego po wznowieniu rozgrywek. Jak się okazało - niepotrzebne. Po ponowieniu rywalizacji Serb wciąż grał na znakomitym poziomie. Wygrał turnieje Masters 1000 w Nowym Jorku i Rzymie, doszedł do finału wielkoszlemowego Rolanda Garrosa i półfinału ATP Finals.

- Doceniam, że Novak po wznowieniu sezonu osiągał dobre wyniki - mówił Vajda, cytowany przez sport.sk. - Trochę się martwiłem o jego formę, bo zmagał się z koronawirusem, ale gdy przyjechałem do Marbelli, aby z nim trenować, bardzo dobrze prezentował się pod względem fizycznym.

W 2020 roku Djoković wygrał 41 z 46 rozegranych oficjalnych meczów i zdobył cztery indywidualne tytuły (Australian Open, Dubaj, Nowy Jork i Rzym) oraz jeden drużynowy (z reprezentacją kraju triumfował w ATP Cup). Po raz szósty zakończył sezon na pozycji lidera rankingu ATP, czym wyrównał rekord Pete'a Samprasa.

- To niesamowity wynik. Zakończenie sezonu na pierwszym miejscu w rankingu po raz szósty jest fantastycznym osiągnięciem. Osiągnął cel, który wyznaczył sobie na początku roku, a w przyszłości będzie miał możliwości, by pobić ten rekord - podkreślił słowacki trener.

Djoković aktualnie przebywa na urlopie. Przygotowania do nowego sezonu chce rozpocząć 10 grudnia, lecz te plany mogą ulec zmianie. Wciąż nie wiadomo bowiem, kiedy rozpocznie się Australian Open. Według ostatnich medialnych doniesień, wielkoszlemowy turniej w Melbourne nie wystartuje w pierwotnym terminie (18-31 stycznia).

- To bardzo uciążliwe z organizacyjnego punktu widzenia. Zobaczymy, kiedy rozpocznie się Australian Open i czy będą turnieje przygotowawcze. Byłoby wspaniale, gdyby powstała "bańka" dla tenisistów jak w Nowym Jorku i Paryżu, a wszystko odbyło się w jednym miejscu, w Melbourne - powiedział Vajda.

Best Grand Slam Matches Of 2020

1) Novak Djoković d. Dominic Thiem, Australian Open, Final

Credit Dominic Thiem for taking on the toughest jobs in tennis. In 2018 and 2019, he tangled with Rafael Nadal, the toughest hombre in the world on clay, in the final at Roland Garros. And earlier this year, on a clear night under an open roof, he took on Novak Djokovic in the final of the Australian Open. Nole, then a seven-time champion at the event, had never lost a semi-final or final at the Grand Slam of Asia-Pacific.

At the time, Thiem had never beaten Djokovic on a hard court, and, to make matters worse, the Serb had a big extra incentive to win: an eighth title would allow him to overtake Rafael Nadal as the No. 1 player in the FedEx ATP Rankings. Thiem may have been taking on the toughest tests in tennis, but prior to 2019 he wasn’t exactly acing those exams. The Austrian standout was just 7-15 versus the Big Three prior to 2019, and although he led the ATP Tour with 211 wins from 2016-9, before 2019 he was 15-32 against the Top 10.

But in the year leading up to the Aussie Open final, Thiem was starting to turn the tide. In 2019, he won two of his three matches against Djokovic, including a big win in the semi-final at Roland Garros in five sets. He was 3-0 versus Federer that year and he split a pair of meetings with Rafael Nadal. And so, Djokovic came into the match as the favourite, but Thiem was clearly inching closer toward the Serb’s throne.

Thiem knew he wouldn’t beat Djokovic playing it safe, so he came out of the gates going for winners and the game plan seemed to be working as he raced out to a two-sets-to-one lead.

Djokovic would later admit that he started to “feel really bad on the court” after losing the second set due to dehydration. He was frustrated with both his opponent and the chair umpire, who cited him for consecutive time violations in the second set. At 1-1 in the fourth set, Thiem had a break point that could have given him a stranglehold on the match. But Djokovic surprised him with a crisp serve-and-volley combo winner to stave off the threat.

“Probably one point and one shot separated us tonight,” Djokovic said of the point. “(It) could have gone a different way… I kind of regained my energy and strength midway in the fourth set and got back into the match. I was on the brink of losing the match.”

Thiem didn’t have another break point in the fourth set, which he dropped 6-3, and then the Serb took command in the fifth, breaking Thiem in the third game and then closing out a scintillating 6-4, 4-6, 2-6, 6-3, 6-4 win in three hours and 59 minutes.

“I think there’s not much to change,” Thiem said after the match. “In the last two sets, I definitely gave everything I had. Novak is part of three guys who are by far the best players ever who played tennis. If you play a Grand Slam final against him, it’s always going to be a match where very small details are deciding.”

Thiem lost the battle but the confidence he gained in pushing the World No. 1 to the limit in Australia may have helped him later in the season, as he captured his first major in New York and later exacted a small measure of revenge on the Serb, beating him in the semi-finals of the Nitto ATP Finals.

Rublev, Schwartzman New Names In Year-End Top 10; Djokovic Continues No. 1 Reign

Spoiler:

Nadal finishes in Top 2 for a record 12th time
The ATP today published the 2020 year-end FedEx ATP Rankings on ATPTour.com. Despite a tour suspension of more than five months, a number of milestones were reached, including two new players in the year-end Top 10, while Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal continued their battle for No. 1.

Djokovic earned a record-tying sixth year-end No. 1 finish (joining Pete Sampras), while Nadal finished No. 2 for the seventh time and in the Top 2 for a record 12th time.

There were two new faces in the year-end Top 10: No. 8 Andrey Rublev, who led the ATP Tour with five titles, and No. 9 Diego Schwartzman.

Five players 24-and-under finished in the Top 10 for the first time since 2009, led by World No. 4 Daniil Medvedev (24), who won the Nitto ATP Finals. Other Top 10 players under the age of 25 were No. 6 Stefanos Tsitsipas (22), No. 7 Alexander Zverev (23), No. 8 Rublev (23) and No. 10 Matteo Berrettini (24).

Best ATP Matches Of 2020

4) Novak Djokovic def. Daniil Medvedev, ATP Cup, Sydney, SF, 10 January 2020

Spoiler:

Perhaps Serbian Novak Djokovic most succinctly summed up his ATP Cup semi-final classic against tricky Russian Daniil Medvedev in January: “Exciting, exhausting, joyful, dreadful all at once.”

Entering the match, Medvedev had some confidence having won two consecutive clashes against Djokovic. The unorthodox righty quickly dropped the first set with an uncharacteristic 12 unforced errors, and then he changed his strategy. Medvedev became a mirror.
Medvedev began putting ball after ball into play, making for an abundance of grinding rallies in which neither man was willing to make a mistake. Djokovic is not often bent over from exhaustion. Usually it’s his opponents who are gasping for air and solutions, but this time it was the Serbian.

“At one point we both refused to miss from baseline, so it was a lot of rallies and it was very exhausting,” Djokovic said. “[It was a] very physical battle, but also [a] mental battle.”
One advantage Djokovic had was the crowd, which was pro-Serbian throughout the tournament. It was as if the atmosphere gave the World No. 2 an extra boost to overcome the physicality of the match and find a way to win the big points. Djokovic was able to summon his reserves in the critical moments, ultimately triumphing 6-1, 5-7, 6-4.

“[It was] definitely one of the most exciting matches I have played against him or any other top player [the] past few years,” Djokovic said.

Best ATP Comebacks Of 2020

1) Novak Djokovic def. Gael Monfils, Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships, Dubai, SF, 28 February 2020

Spoiler:

Novak Djokovic doesn’t often find his back against the wall. That’s why he’s the No. 1 player in the FedEx ATP Rankings. But the Serbian needed every bit of skill and luck he could muster to save three match points against Gael Monfils in the Dubai semi-finals.

When the Frenchman is firing on all cylinders, there’s very little any opponent can do about it. Monfils is arguably the fastest player on the ATP Tour and he has the ability to hit through any opponent when he decides to play aggressively. When everything clicks, he has the talent to beat anyone.

Monfils entered this semi-final clash with an 0-16 ATP Head2Head record against Djokovic, but it appeared to make no difference. Within five games he hit a jumping swinging backhand volley, sprinted forward to hit a winner off a drop shot few players would have gotten to and showed his intention to dictate play.

Djokovic’s 16-match winning streak to begin the season seemed in jeopardy. The World No. 1 was not at his best, making some errors, especially as he began to earn more opportunities in the second set. But part of that was because of the pressure Monfils was putting on him, which helped the Frenchman go up 6-2, 3-1.

The Serbian got back on serve, but the second set went to a tie-break, in which the pressure hit its climax for Monfils. The Frenchman took a 6/3 lead, earning three consecutive match points. “It's all or nothing. It's a matter of life or death at that point,” Djokovic later said.

There was one glaring issue for Monfils: he had to finish the job. Djokovic wouldn’t let him do so. The Frenchman went for and landed a huge second serve down the T at 6/3, but the Serbian guessed the right way and made a forehand return deep in the court, eliciting a backhand error from Monfils, who would then miss forehands on the next two points to watch his final two opportunities slip away.

Monfils was so close to earning his Vitas Gerulaitis moment and being able to say, “Nobody beats Gael Monfils 17 times in a row!” But Djokovic summoned his best tennis under pressure, and he ran away with the third set in a 2-6, 7-6(8), 6-1 victory.

“It's like being on the edge of a cliff,” Djokovic said.. “You know there is no way back, so you have to jump over and try to find a way to survive I guess and pray for the best and believe that you can make it.”

Djokovic went on to beat Stefanos Tsitsipas for the title and win his first 26 matches of the season and 29 straight overall, marking the second-longest winning streak of his career.

‘It’s frustrating to see Novak Djokovic get negative press on things that aren’t true,’ says ATP star

Spoiler:

Rising US star Reilly Opelka has paid tribute to Novak Djokovic – and criticised those who write ‘negative press on things that aren’t true.’

Djokovic has been the subject of many unkind headlines in 2020, with his handling of the Adria Tour, his US Open default, and his role in the breakaway independent players union the PTPA all attracting negative press.

For Opelka, though, the tone and focus of that coverage is not reflective of the man he knows, and he has described that as ‘frustrating.’

“I was on board (for PTPA),” Opelka said “I think it’s a great move.

“I think that it was just frustrating for me to see a guy like Novak, that gets the negative press on things that aren’t true, right?

“He’s a really, really friendly guy. He’s at the point now, every time he’s entering a Slam, he’s going for history, as the greatest of all time, and he doesn’t need to take the time to come up to me after a match, and just talk, and ask how my knee’s doing.

“It’s not common. It’s not like we grew up together – we’re in different generations.

“He’s very, very aware of the younger generations. He’s very aware of a lot of the women’s players. He loves tennis. He cares about the sport.”

Phenomenal’ Novak Djokovic tipped to break ultimate record: ‘It’s a possibility’

‘Phenomenal’ Novak Djokovic tipped to break ultimate record: ‘It’s a possibility’
ATP TourNovak DjokovicTennis News
December 7, 2020
Share

Tim Henman believes Novak Djokovic could break Margaret Court’s all-time Grand Slam record, and it would be ‘phenomenal’ if he can.

No one has won more than the 24 Grand Slam singles titles that Court amassed during her playing career. Serena Williams has 23 to her name, Steffi Graf has 22, and Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal both have 20.

Novak Djokovic is next on the list with 17, but he is the youngest player currently chasing the record and appears to be the most durable.

And that, according to Amazon Prime and Eurosport analyst Henman, will give Djokovic a chance at a very special record.

“It’s not something I would totally put out of the equation,” Henman replied when asked if he thought Djokovic could challenge Court’s record.

“He’s 33 now so you’re saying he’s got to win two Slams a year.

“That’s a hell of an effort and he’s got to do that for another four years. I think that is asking a lot.

“But if you talk about him getting to 21, 22 then, you know, another couple added on top as the icing on the cake.

“The more you think about it – perhaps it is a possibility. It’s phenomenal.”

Andre Agassi: ‘Novak Djokovic needed to return to his roots, he needed a reason to fight’
ATP TourNovak DjokovicTennis News
December 4, 2020
Share

Andre Agassi believes that Novak Djokovic is at his best when he is ‘agitated’ and he needed to return to those roots to rediscover his form.

Agassi was part of Djokovic’s coaching set-up in 2017 and 2018 when the Serb was struggling for form, largely due to an ongoing elbow injury.

The relationship did not last long, though, nor did it go especially well, with Agassi saying at the time there was simply a personality clash at play.

Djokovic returned to old coach Marian Vajda and has thrived since, and Agassi believes that was exactly what he needed.

“He is always looking to get agitated on a tennis court,” Agassi told the Hindu Times.

COMMENT: Obsessively vilifying Novak Djokovic is the fashion trend tennis can do without

“I might have poked the bear a little harder and a little sooner.

“Me challenging him to stop working with him, to give him a reason to prove something. He went back to his roots – like ‘Rocky’ – his fight. That’s what he needed.

“What Novak needed was a reason to fight and care. He did not lose his game overnight. Lots of information he needed to process for a while.”
