GOAT - debata

[Kiefer]

W 2007 h2h było 3-2 dla Federera, ale masz rację, z Nadalem rywalizuje dłużej i ta różnica pięciu lat to w rzeczywistości 2-3 lata jeśli o przebieg chodzi, w przypadku Novaka tak 8-9...

Peak Federera to 2004-2007, w 2008 czy 2010 przez większość czasu to była cienizna, w 2009 był dobry, ale też nie nadzwyczajny, koncentracja na szlemach, ale to już nie był TEN Fed, pod nieobecność Rafy dał radę wyrwać dwa szlemy.

Tenis. Ivan Lendl o wyborze gracza wszech czasów. "O tym, kto jest największy, nie decyduje popularność"

Spoiler:

van Lendl zabrał głos w sprawie dyskusji na temat wyboru najlepszego tenisisty wszech czasów. Zdaniem byłego lidera rankingu ATP najważniejszym kryterium powinna być liczba tytułów wielkoszlemowych.

Tenis. Roland Garros bez publiczności? Prezes FFT bierze pod uwagę taką opcję
Dyskusja toczy się od lat, a w ostatnim czasie poszczególne strony przedstawiają coraz więcej argumentów. Na razie jednak to Roger Federer ma na koncie 20 tytułów wielkoszlemowych i najwięcej tygodni na czele rankingu ATP (310). Na drugim miejscu w liczbie zdobytych trofeów Wielkiego Szlema jest Rafael Nadal (19), a na trzecim Novak Djoković (17), który jednak znacznie przyspieszył w ostatniej dekadzie i podgonił najgroźniejszych rywali.
- Novak, Rafa i Roger rywalizują o to, który z nich zdobędzie najwięcej tytułów wielkoszlemowych i będzie uważany za najlepszego. Teraz tylko możemy powiedzieć, że Roger prowadzi w wyścigu, który nie został jeszcze zakończony. Stanie się to dopiero, gdy cała trójka zwieńczy kariery i wtedy będzie można wydać opinię - zauważył Ivan Lendl w rozmowie dla australijskiej telewizji "Channel Nine".

Triumfator ośmiu imprez wielkoszlemowych wyznał, że choć na prowadzeniu jest teraz Federer, to Nadal i Djoković są od niego młodsi i mają przed sobą więcej lat gry od Szwajcara. 60-latek nie ukrywa, że walka powyższej trójki o kolejne laury w tenisie zapowiada się bardzo interesująco.

Z grona trzech najlepszych graczy świata ostatnich lat najmniejszą sympatią cieszy się Djoković. Dla Lendla jednak nie powinno to mieć znaczenia przy wyborze tenisisty wszech czasów. - O tym, kto jest największy, nie decyduje popularność - stwierdził były szkoleniowiec Andy'ego Murraya i Alexandra Zvereva.

Roger Federer holds a bevy of records in the sport. Among some of his prominent landmark achievements in the sport, the Swiss maestro has the most Grand Slam titles (20), most ATP Finals titles (6), most weeks at number one (310) and most consecutive weeks at number one (237).

Roger Federer's other standalone records
Roger Federer
Roger Federer
Having made his debut on the ATP Tour in 1998, Roger Federer has had a distinguished 22-year professional career which is still going strong.

The 38-year-old is the only player to win 10 or more titles on grass (19), to win a grass-court tournament on 10 or more occasions (Halle - 10 times) and to win a hardcourt tournament at least 10 times (Basel - 10 times).

Roger Federer has the most Grand Slam finals, semifinals and quarterfinals of any player in the sport's history. If not for a heartbreaking loss in the 2019 Wimbledon final against Novak Djokovic - where the Swiss had two championship points on serve - Federer would have been the oldest Grand Slam champion in the Open Era.

The Basel native has held an ATP ranking for 23 consecutive years. Only Ivo Karlovic and Feliciano Lopez have had ATP rankings for a longer period than Federer.

Federer's streak of consecutive Grand Slam winning seasons (8) is only bettered by Rafael Nadal (10), who incidentally is ranked by Tennis Channel in second place in their all-time list.

The King of Clay, as Nadal is often known, has the most titles at a tournament (12 at Roland Garros) and is the only player to win over 10 titles at three different tournaments (also Monte Carlo-11, Barcelona-11).

Who else makes up the all-time top 10 list of Tennis Channel?

Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer have been ranked the two greatest players of all time by Tennis Channel
Just behind Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal in Tennis Channel's all-time top 10 list is Rod Laver. The Australian left-hander is the only player in the Open Era to have won the calendar year Grand Slam, having emerged victorious at all four Majors in 1969.

However, Laver's ranking at No. 3 is bound to raise a few eyebrows as it pushes a certain Novak Djokovic, who has the most Grand Slam titles (17) behind Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, down to fourth.

Laver won only five Grand Slam titles in the Open Era. Even if one were to also consider his six other Major titles won before tennis turned professional, Laver's tally of 11 still pales in comparison to that of the reigning Australian Open champion Djokovic.

Djokovic is the current World No. 1 and is one of five players to win the career Grand Slam, joining Laver, Andre Agassi, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal in an exclusive club. He is also the only player other than Laver to hold all four Majors at the same time in the Open Era.

Trafna wypowiedź Lendla, bo niestety widać, do czego doprowadza nienaturalny marketing wśród dzisiejszych kibiców, z których spora część chodzi na mecze tenisowe jak na gwiazdkę dzisiejszej popkultury i wytwór marketingu. Nikt nie może podważyć, że jakiś dzieciak noszący czapkę z napisem RF robi to, bo „zna się na tenisie”. Nie mówiąc o bydełku bez ogłady na trybunach, która wrzeszczy, byle ktoś nie wyprzedzał ich Rogera w tytułach i sławie, dla której oni żyją i przychodzą na mecze.

Tenis. "Federer najlepszy, Djoković najtrudniejszy". Toni Nadal ocenił najgroźniejszych rywali swojego bratanka

Toni Nadal uważa Rogera Federera za najlepszego tenisistę ostatnich latach. Gdyby jednak miał wybrać najtrudniejszego przeciwnika dla Rafaela Nadala, to będzie nim Novak Djoković.

Tenis. Reilly Opelka mocno skrytykował ATP. "Nie można sobie radzić gorzej, a ich dyrektorzy zarobią więcej niż Federer
Wujek 12-krotnego triumfatora Rolanda Garrosa był gościem programu "Players Cut" pokazywanego na antenie Eurosportu. Toni Nadal był pytany m.in. o rywalizację trzech największych tenisistów XXI wieku - Rafaela Nadala, Rogera Federera i Novaka Djokovicia.
- Dla mnie Roger jest wspaniałym zawodnikiem, lubię oglądać jego grę. Gdybym nie był wujkiem lub trenerem Rafaela, to chciałbym, aby Federer wygrywał wszystkie mecze. Podoba mi się jego elegancka gra - wyznał wujek Toni, który jeszcze do niedawna był głównym szkoleniowcem swojego bratanka.


Kto zatem według słynnego trenera jest najlepszym tenisistą? - Federer jest najlepszym tenisistą wszech czasów, może przed Rodem Laverem czy Rafą, który nie jest tak daleko. Obecnie jednak to Federer jest najlepszy.

ZOBACZ WIDEO: Koronawirus. Czy zabraknie pieniędzy na polski sport? "Liczę na to, że budżet ministerstwa sportu będzie wyglądał tak samo"
ZAMKNIJ
Toni Nadal niezmiennie jednak uważa Djokovicia za najtrudniejszego przeciwnika dla swojego bratanka. - Zawsze trudniej nam się grało z Djokoviciem. Nie chodzi o to, który z nich jest lepszy. Kiedy gramy przeciwko Federerowi, to znamy sposób, w jaki go pokonać. Już przed wejściem na kort, wiem, co trzeba zrobić. Gdy gramy przeciwko Djokoviciowi, nie wiemy dokładnie, co mamy robić. To jest trudniejsze dla mnie i dlatego wolę grać przeciwko Federerowi.

Z powodu rozprzestrzeniającego się po świecie koronawirusa zostały wstrzymane wszelkie rozgrywki na zawodowych kortach. Aktualnie tenisowy tour jest zawieszony co najmniej do końca lipca. Nie można jednak wykluczyć, że w 2020 roku nie będzie już występów w profesjonalnych turniejach.

Veteran defensive end Michael Bennett, a three-time Pro Bowl selection who has 69.5 career sacks and won a Super Bowl ring during his career, is retiring after 11 NFL seasons, he announced on Instagram on Tuesday.

"Retiring feels a little like death of self, but I'm looking forward to the rebirth -- the opportunity to reimagine my purpose," Bennett posted. "I would like to thank my wife and children, who have sacrificed so much for me to succeed. I'm looking forward to supporting them the same way they have me these past 11 years. I have never been more at peace in my life.

"As the great Toni Morrison said: 'Freeing yourself was one thing, claiming ownership of that freed self was another.'

In an article published Tuesday, Bennett told The New Yorker that in addition to spending more time with his family, he wants to help athletes be heard when it comes to social and racial injustice.

Bennett, 34, was traded from the New England Patriots to the Dallas Cowboys last season in exchange for what eventually became a sixth-round pick in 2021. He finished the season with 6.5 sacks and 32 tackles.

In addition to the Cowboys and Patriots, Bennett has played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2009 to 2012), Seattle Seahawks (2013 to 2017) and Philadelphia Eagles (2018) during his career. He has 359 tackles and 10 forced fumbles.

Bennett was named to the Pro Bowl in each of his past three seasons with Seattle and was a member of Seattle's Super Bowl XLVIII championship team.

Roger Federer's serve but mentality of Novak Djokovic or Rafael Nadal: Uncle Toni creates his perfect player

Spoiler:

Toni chose specific attributes from Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic while create the ideal tennis player.
Federer, Nadal & Djokovic have been the 3 most successful players of all time, so Toni's choices were not surprising.

Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic are widely considered to be the three greatest tennis players of all time. Popularly referred to as the 'Big 3' of tennis, the three legends have time and again stood between history and each other in what has been an epic three-way rivalry.

The trio are nearly unstoppable at the Grand Slams, having won 56 of the last 67. The difference among them is quite small though, with Roger Federer standing at a record 20 Slams, Rafael Nadal at 19 and Novak Djokovic at 17.

While each of the Big 3 has certain achievements in his favor to be called the GOAT, tennis fans have come to respect all three of them for their uniquely effective games. Roger Federer is elegant and efficient in his play, whereas his rivals Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic are more physical and dogged.

But what if certain components from each of the three could be combined to create a 'perfect player'? That's exactly what Rafael Nadal's uncle Toni attempted in a recent interview with ESPN Tennis.

Roger Federer on serve & volley, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal in movement: Toni Nadal

Toni coached his nephew Rafael Nadal to several triumphs over his top rivals Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic. Many consider Toni to be the most successful coach in the history of tennis, having guided Nadal to 16 Major titles, although Marian Vajda has marginally better numbers with Novak Djokovic.

Now one of the managers at Rafael Nadal's tennis academy, Toni works at honing the skills of aspiring young players. But although he has a new life away from the constant travelling and expectations of fans, Toni can't stay away from GOAT discussions for too long.

During the video uploaded on the Spanish Twitter handle of ESPN Tennis, Toni can be seen trying to build his ideal tennis player by choosing various attributes of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic.

"For serve, the serve of Karlovic or the serve of Roger Federer. Since Karlovic cannot move so well and can't hit groundstrokes, definitely the serve of Roger Federer," Toni said.

With the forehand, Toni Nadal would choose the one of either Roger Federer or Rafael Nadal - two of the greatest forehands in tennis history. For the backhand it was a no-brainer though as Toni picked Novak Djokovic's - possibly the greatest backhand ever.

At the net Toni Nadal picked Roger Federer, who arguably has the best touch and volleying skills on the tour. In movement, Toni quipped that either one of Novak Djokovic or Rafael Nadal would do.

In terms of mental strength, Toni Nadal showed a bit of diplomacy as he picked both his nephew and Novak Djokovic since he wasn't able to decide who is mentally stronger.

All things considered, it might be safe to say that Toni Nadal has pieced together a player that's as close to 'perfect' as possible.
