Newport Hosts Final Grass-Court Stop

Spoiler:

Tap into the essentials of the week ahead with Corona ATP Weekly Slice, as we serve up an executive summary of what every fan should know
The lone North American grass-court tournament on the ATP World Tour, the Hall of Fame Tennis Championships, in Newport, concludes the six-week grass-court circuit. It is also the first North American tournament since Houston in April. No. 1 American John Isner is the top seed in Newport for the fourth time in five years.
Hall of Fame Tennis Championships (Newport, Rhode Island) - This year’s field features five of the Top 35 players in the Emirates ATP Rankings, led by World No. 17 and 2011-12 champion John Isner. The other seeds are: No. 2 and last year’s runner-up Ivo Karlovic, No. 3/wild card Bernard Tomic, No. 4 Jack Sock, No. 5 Adrian Mannarino, No. 6 and 2009 finalist Sam Querrey, No. 7 Steve Johnson and No. 8 Tim Smyczek. Rajeev Ram, who captured the title in 2009, is the other former winner in the field.
• Big John Top Seed – Isner is the top seed and the 30-year-old American has a 15-4 career record in Newport. He is making his fifth straight visit. Both of his titles in 2011-12 came as the top seed. His 13-match winning streak in Newport ended in 2013 with a loss in the semi-finals to Lleyton Hewitt. Isner reached the quarter-finals at Queen’s and a career-best third round at Wimbledon for the second year in a row (l. to Cilic, 12-10 in the fifth set). This is the 15th time in Isner’s career (first this year) he is the top seed in an ATP World Tour tournament (34-9 record). Four of his nine career titles have come as the No. 1 seed. Here are his results:
- 2014 Winston-Salem: QF (W/O)
- 2014 Newport: QF
- 2014 Atlanta: Winner
- 2014 Nice: QF
- 2014 Houston: 2R (after bye)
- 2013 Atlanta: Winner
- 2013 Delray Beach: SF
- 2013 Sydney: 2R (after bye)
- 2012 Atlanta: SF
- 2012 Newport: Winner
- 2012 Nice: QF
- 2012 Delray Beach: SF
- 2012 Memphis: QF
- 2011 Newport: Winner
• Ace Machine - Last year’s runner-up Ivo Karlovic (l. to Hewitt) is coming off a Round of 16 performance at Wimbledon (l. to Murray), where he finished with 165 aces, the most he’s ever hit in a tournament. The 36-year-old Croat became the first player to hit 40 or more aces three matches in a row since the ATP World Tour began keeping records in 1991. In February, Karlovic captured his sixth career ATP World Tour title in Delray Beach (d. Young), holding all 56 service games and saving 19 break points he faced. He is the oldest ATP World Tour winner this season.
• Bernie on a Roll - Wild card and top Aussie Bernard Tomic is putting together his best season on the ATP World Tour. The 22 year old is making his Newport debut and is coming off a third round showing at Wimbledon (l. to Djokovic). His best result was a semi-final showing in Delray Beach (l. to Young) and six other quarter-finals, including the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 in Indian Wells.
• Tommy is Back - The oldest player in the singles draw is 37-year-old wild card Tommy Haas, who returns to Newport for the first time since 2011. He came back last month after undergoing right shoulder surgery on 17 June, 2014. In his three grass-court tournaments, Haas reached the second round in Stuttgart and Wimbledon and lost in first round in Halle.
• Rubin Makes Pro Debut – Wild card Noah Rubin makes his ATP World Tour professional debut. The 19 year old from Long Island, New York completed his freshman season at Wake Forest University, reaching the NCAA final in May (l. to Ryan Shane of Virginia). Last August, Rubin made his ATP World Tour main draw debut at the Winston-Salem Open, falling to Bradley Klahn in the first round. A year ago he captured the Wimbledon boys’ title.
• Hometown Kid – Nearby Providence resident Jared Donaldson, 18, debuts in the main draw. The young American has climbed in the Emirates ATP Rankings from World No. 260 at the end of last year to World No. 155. In his last ATP World Tour appearance he qualified at the Queen’s Club and lost to Isner in the first round. He has compiled a 14-6 match record on the ATP Challenger Tour, winning in Maui in January.

Komiczny turniej się zrobił, mógłby to Sock wykorzystać.

[Hankmoody]

Komiczny turniej się zrobił, mógłby to Sock wykorzystać.

Niech sobie korzysta gdzieś indziej, mnie gra Socka na zielonej trawce nie przekonuje i mam nadzieje że turniej weźmie Jamajka.

[Emu]

Nie gra Sock dobrze na trawie ale jest jedynym poważnym kandydatem obok Karlovica go wygrania tego turnieju.

[Mario]

Są na tym świecie rzeczy, których po prostu się nie robi. Nie wkłada się palca do kontaktu, nie przechodzi się na czerwonym świetle, nie jeździ się pod prąd itd. Generalnie spora lista, wśród tych mniej ważnych znajduje się wzmianka o nierobieniu podwójnych przy bp z Karlovicem.

Szkoda, że Dustin o tym nie wiedział, bo w tak badziewny sposób pozbawił się marzeń o powrocie do meczu. Nie mam pojęcia, który to już raz przegrał w ćwiartce głównego turnieju, wiem tylko, że jeszcze nigdy takiego spotkania nie wygrał.

[DUN I LOVE]

Szkoda. Coś Dustin mówił ostatnio o ataku na Top-50. Prawie uwierzyłem, chociaż tenisowo jak najbardziej w zasięgu. Szkoda, że regularność nie ta.

Ja na tego Socka bym się nie pogniewał.

[Mario]

Kto wie, czy to nie oznacza końca kariery Czecha...

[DUN I LOVE]

70 lat mają łącznie finaliści Newport. Specjaliście od grey na trawie jak się patrzy, ale z drugiej strony trudno tego nie odebrać jako kolejnego liścia dla generacji urodzonej w latach 90.

[Mario]

Gdyby Sock wygrał, napisałbym o starciu nadziei amerykańskiego tenisa ze specjalistą od gry na trawie - Rajeevem Ramem, czyli powtórce sprzed 6 lat.

Ale co by nie mówić, fajny finał powinien być, może nawet zerknę.

[DUN I LOVE]

Gratuluję koledze przekroczenia kolejnej bariery na liczniku postów.

Finał obejrzę.

[Jacques D.]

No niezłe to tegoroczne Newport - trudno mi sobie przypomnieć jakiś w miarę niedawny finał na szczeblu ATP z udziałem dwóch przedstawicieli zadeklarowanego s&v...

[DUN I LOVE]

Ram bierze pierwszego taja. Bliżej mi do Ivo dzisiaj.

E: Jednak Ram w taju 3. seta. Pod koniec drugiej partii Amerykanin miał duży kryzy na serwisie i wydawało mi się, żę Ivo spokojnie to ogarnie w deciderze. Nie udało się. Brawa dla Ramprasa.
