Djokovic Rallies, Nadal Routs to Advance in Rome

Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal earned spots in the Rome quarterfinals on Thursday. No. 1 Djokovic needed to mount a comeback while No. 3 Nadal decimated his opponent.

“It was a very strange match,” said Djokovic of his 4-6, 6-2, 6-3 win over Juan Monaco. “It was difficult to play with that wind. But the conditions were the same for both us, he just handled it better at the start. I was playing far too defensively and passively and he was controlling everything. He was the better player for a set and a half.”

After missing two straight backhands in the first set, Djokovic slammed his racquet on the court twice, for which the Chair umpire gave him a warning.

“It’s not the first time and I don’t think it will be the last time,” said the Serb. “I’m a player with a lot of emotion. I hope kids didn’t see it. But then it changed the match, … the momentum swung to my side.”

Where Djokovic was challenged, Nadal was not. The Spaniard destroyed countryman Marcel Granollers 6-1, 6-1.

“I start the match bad with two double faults with my serve,” Nadal said, “but after the first two or three games then started to play well, good forehand and control of the point and going to net conditions were difficult and windy but I think I found rhythm and after third game. I played very solid.”

 

“I started clay well in Monte Carlo and Barcelona without losing a set and it’s great to win two tournaments – without losing a set and you have to be playing well to do that and then I played bad in Madrid and so I am here on clay and I am solid and well and I played a good match yesterday and today.

 

“I always say I go week by week and I always say I arrive to Roland Garros at my best and don’t take this tournament to prepare me for the rest … I take this tournaments like a very important tournament each one and I try my best in every match to have the best I can. Roland Garros is in two weeks and I am now here in Rome and that is the most important thing for me and last week I was in Madrid where the conditions didn’t help.”

 

On Friday Nadal will battle Tomas  Berdych for a place in the semifinals. “He’s a great player and I think that he has win tournaments on clay,” Nadal said. He played in semi-finals on clay in Monte Carlo against me and he had fantastic results in Monte Carlo and Madrid and so his level is fantastic on clay and hard and grass and he is a complete player and so tomorrow will be a difficult match for me and so if I play my best it will be possible.”

Monaco Stuns Isner for Houston Crown

By Joe McGovern

HOUSTON – It was a championship match between two buddies in Houston as Juan Monaco persevered over John Isner, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3 to win his first title ever on American soil and his fifth overall.  It was a particularly sweet day for the two tour friends, who have bonded over their love for American football.  Isner, despite his loss in the US Men’s Clay Court Championship final, has moved into No. 9 in the rankings, positioning him as the number one ranked American, while Monaco’s victory moves him up to No. 14, matching his career best.

 

“It was a great final, great final,” said Monaco. “The third set was like a battle. We both fought until the last point and we both played a really good final.”

 

“I’m very happy for Pico,” said Isner. “He’s had a very good year, and so have I. We’re both winning a lot of matches this year and he was just a little bit better than me today.”

 

Monaco had 15 break point chances on Isner’s serve during the match, converting three of them—the only breaks the 6’9” American suffered over the course of his four matches at River Oaks.  “You can sometimes make the opportunities against Johnny, but it’s very tough to convert them.”

 

Monaco departed Houston within an hour of the match’s conclusion for an overnight flight to Europe.  He starts play at the Masters series tournament in Monte Carlo on Tuesday, less than 48 hours after his title bout in Texas.

 

“It sounds absolutely miserable,” said Isner of Monaco’s itinerary. “But that’s the life of a tennis player and sometimes you just have to do it.”

Isner Rallies Past Lopez in Houston, Becomes US No.1

HOUSTON – American John Isner defeated Spain’s Feliciano Lopez 6-7 (5), 7-6 (4), 6-3 on Saturday to advance to the final of the U.S. Clay Court Championship at the River Oaks Country Club.

The victory moves Isner’s ranking up to No. 9 in the world as of Monday, making him the top American moving past Mardy Fish who lost earlier in the week.

“Even coming out of college it’s something I never could have imagined,” Isner said in regard to becoming the top-ranked American. “But as I started to improve and play better a little bit, I knew that this could be something that was attainable for me. I’m very thrilled. And now I have my highest ranking ever as well, number nine.  That was my next goal, after I got to ten. Now my newest goal is to get to eight, and then seven, and then six.”

Isner bested Lopez, despite not having his best day. “I was not the better player today, just as I wasn’t yesterday.  But I found a way.  It definitely wasn’t pretty but I found a way to eventually get it done, and I’m proud of that.  It’s fortunate for me that I can get through matches when I’m not feeling my best or playing my best because of my serve.   And I think I’m backing it up with better play.”

Isner is 20-6 for 2012 with victories over No. 1 Novak Djokovic and No. 3 Roger Federer.

Isner will face Argentina’s Juan Monaco who stopped the career run of Houston’s own Michael Russell 5-7, 6-1, 6-4. Russell had reach the semifinals of a main tour ATP event for the first time. En route to the semifinals he knocked out Mardy Fish and Bryan Harrison.

In doubles action, James Blake and Sam Querrey captured the doubles crown  stopping Treat Conrad Huey and Dominic Inglot 7-6(14), 6-4.

“The week was great,” Blake said, “as I haven’t been in the winners’ circle in a while. It’s a great feeling to get back in it with a good friend like Sam. I hope it’s a stepping stone. I remember when I won my first doubles title, it was a precursor to my first singles title the next weekend. I think it shows I’m starting to play well and getting confidence. I’ll take it anywhere I can get it.”

“It’s always fun to play with a buddy like James,” Querrey said. “We hadn’t won a match before, but once we got one win, we got four. We had a lot of close matches. Hopefully we can play again and win another title.”

Birthday Boy Monaco Earns Miami Semis Berth over Fish

Juan Monaco celebrated his 28th birthday on Thursday with a quarterfinal victory at the Sony Ericsson Open over world No. 8 Mardy Fish 6-1, 6-3 in just 82 minutes. The Argentine has now reached his second Masters Series semifinal. His first was the Shanghai Masters in 2010.

“It was unbelievable,” Monaco said.  “I think the way to celebrate my birthday, playing like this like I did today, feel proud and very happy for be here on my birthday and talking to you.  Very happy now.”

“I meant every shot that I played, I did. It was a perfect match for me”

Monaco kept the American in check with his serve.

“He did a lot of things well today,” Fish said of his Argentine opponent.  “I think more than anything else, he shrunk the court extremely well with his movement, and that’s why I think you saw a ton of errors from me.

“You know, I was pressing a lot just because he wasn’t giving me anything.  He wasn’t giving me any errors.  He made one error in the first set and served 98%.

“That’s tough to beat, you know, especially with someone who moves as well as he does in a place where, you know, the surface is slow and the balls are even slower to get by him.  So, you know, a lot of combination of things, but that’s the first thing that jumps out.

“You know, I competed hard, tried to get back into it obviously in the second set.  That 3-All game was, you know, obviously the biggest game of the match.

“I played three good points that game, and, you know, I came in ‑ I don’t know if you remember; I remember it,  but I came in on two of his kind of defensive slices and I lost both of those points.  He had an unbelievable lob on that last point that I wasn’t sure was going to go in or not but probably was, and it was just  it was his day.”

Feliciano Lopez and Juan Monaco Awarded Wild Cards for Houston

The first wild cards for the 2012 US Men’s Clay Court Championship have been awarded to Spain’s Feliciano Lopez, the 15th ranked player on the ATP World Tour, and Argentina’s Juan Monaco, who is No. 21.

Lopez and Monaco join a pair of Top 10 Americans, Mardy Fish and John Isner, in committing to the event that will be held April 9-15 at River Oaks Country Club.

Lopez, who has been ranked in the Top 50 in eight of the past nine seasons, will be making his tournament debut in Houston. He has been a mainstay of Spain’s Davis Cup success in recent years, playing in 20 ties and contributing to four championship teams. The three-time Wimbledon quarterfinalist owns two ATP World Tour titles in seven career finals.

Monaco ranks ninth among active players for career clay court wins with a 157-91 record on the surface. He has claimed four titles in 11 finals on clay, including earlier this year in Vina del Mar. In 2011, he helped Argentina to the Davis Cup final against Spain. Monaco was the 2006 runner-up of the River Oaks International, and went 2-2 at the US Men’s Clay Court Championship at Westside, reaching the quarterfinals in 2007.

“We’re thrilled to have the chance to grant Feliciano and Juan wild cards,” tournament director Van Barry said. “To have these Top 25 international stars join our field that’s anchored by a couple of Top 10 Americans with Mardy and John is a very exciting way to gear up for the tournament which begins in just over two weeks.”

Fish, the 2006 US Men’s Clay Court Champion, is ranked No. 8, while Isner has reached a career high No. 10 on Monday after reaching the final this past week at Indian Wells by beating No. 1 Novak Djokovic in the semifinals.

Fish is one of four former champions in the field, including Ryan Sweeting (2011), Marcel Granollers (2008) and Ivo Karlovic (2007). Three former finalists are also in the field, and they are all Americans: Sam Querrey (2010), Wayne Odesnik (2009) and James Blake (2008).

The addition of Lopez and Monaco brings the tournament field to 23 players thus far (SEE CURRENT LIST HERE). One more wild card will be awarded and four other players will join the field through the qualifying tournament that begins April 7.

The doubles field will be announced just before the tournament, but four-time winners of the US Men’s Clay Court Championship Bob and Mike Bryan have committed to return and defend their title once again.

For more information – www.mensclaycourt.com

Once again, the US Men’s Clay Court Championship will provide the Texas Children’s Ticket Turnback program. Any fans holding tickets for a session that they cannot use are invited to return those tickets to the box office where they will be sold for face value and the entire resale price will be donated to Texas Children’s Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Institute.

Around The Grounds at the BNP Paribas Open “ Weekend Round Up“ Part 1

By Jennifer Knapp

After a very busy Friday, I knew that today (Saturday) would be all of that and more as more of the seeded players took to the courts to play their first matches.  First up was Ana Ivanovic who made quick work of Joanna Larsson 6-1, 6-2.  I made it a point to sit in on her news conference as I had yet to seen her in person and was very impressed with her poise and demeanor as she answered a series of questions ranging from her current excellent form to her Olympic aspirations and her thoughts on the mandatory tournament schedule.

Next up was a stroll around the practice courts as you’re pretty much always guaranteed to see many of your favorites at any point throughout the day.  Indian Wells is known for the great fan access to the practice courts and this particular trip did not disappoint.  I came across Jurgen Melzer, Marcos Bagdhatis, Victoria Azarenka, Gael Monfils and Feliciano López spread out across the many courts.  Not bad for a 15 minute walk!

 

Juan Monaco

My ultimate destination was the Juan Monaco/Nicholas Mahut match on Court 6, the smallest of the show courts. For the first 20 minutes or so that I was there, Mahut missed at least a half dozen drop shots. It was as if his racquet magnetically directed the balls into the net.  You could hear everyone in the crowd wince as he missed each one. Also,  Monaco was sliding all over the court as if it was made of clay.  There were a few crowd winces for him as well!  Monaco had multiple chances to win the match in two sets but needed a third to close it out.  He advances to play his Twitter buddy, John Isner on Monday.

 

Stpanek and Paes

Next up on the agenda was the David Ferrer/Albert Ramos versus Leander Paes/Radek Stepanek match on Court 4.  There’s nothing like watching doubles action up close and sitting in the front row gives you amazing perspective.  You also need to pay close attention though as it’s quite likely that you’ll end up getting hit by a ball at some point. I say this because it’s happened to me more than once. The stands were full and the cheering was equally split for the two teams.  Ramos was fresh off his big win over Richard Gasquet but he and Ferrer were no match for the stronger, more seasoned team as Stepanek/Paes won 6-3, 6-3.

 

Sitting in the direct sun for over an hour had taken its toll so I opted to take a shade break before heading to another match.  With so many great matches to choose from I ended up going to Stadium 3 for Kei Nishikori/Santiago Giraldo. Another near capacity crowd was thoroughly entertained although it wasn’t without (minor) incident thanks to a malfunctioning electronic scoreboard with bad timing.  The board went out just as Giraldo challenged a call and once he realized that the play could not be reviewed, he protested the by sitting down in his chair and refusing to play.   Entertaining for the crowd but unsettling for Nishikori who eventually lost the match.

Caroline wozniacki

I headed back to the media room in time for a series of news conferences Mardy Fish, Caroline Wozniacki, Ryan Harrison and Maria Sharapova. I really enjoy hearing from the players directly and having the opportunity to do so live is an absolute thrill for me.  Fish was first, followed by Wozniacki, who unceremoniously busted into the news conference and (humorously) turned in into more of a comedy routine.  The talk quickly turned to golf and ended when a reporter asked Wozniacki how she thought Fish would do on the PGA Tour. Her response was “no comment which was followed by lots of laughter.  Wozniacki proceeded to answer multiple questions about golf intermixed with tennis but the classic question came at the very end, when she was asked if she had “ever met Tiger Woods and had interactions with him  Her reply?  (pause), I was going to say something. (another pause) No, no, I have never met Tiger.” Enough said.

Ryan Harrison

The next news conference was with Ryan Harrison who had just upset 25th seed Viktor Troicki.  I am always amazed how poised and mature he is in general conversation and impressed by the fact that he made it a point during the offseason to work on controlling his energy into a positive mindset.  He spoke about his first Davis Cup experience and the positive influence of team captain, Jim Courier.  Next up for him was supposed to be Andy Murray but will now be Guillermo Garcia-Lopez.

 

Maria Sharapova

Maria Sharapova came to press following her win over Gisela Dulko. Questions for her included her thoughts about the mandatory 15 tournaments per year and her time at the Bollettieri Academy. She was incredibly complimentary of Nick Bollettieri and considers him one of the “best businessmen I have ever met in my life but yet he’s very professional in everything he does.” Surprisingly, there were no questions about basketball.

 

Guillermo Garcia-Lopez

Following the media conferences I headed down to the photo pit to watch Andy Murray and Guillermo Garcia Lopez.  What was expected to be a pretty routine match for Murray was anything but.  Garcia Lopez was playing lights out and Murray simply was not.  The majority of the crowd was stunned but continued to show their support for Murray throughout the match.  Murray had multiple break chances but simply couldn’t convert when necessary and Garcia Lopez won in two.  Indian Wells hasn’t been too kind to Murray as he lost to Donald Young in his first match in 2011.

Andy Murray

Murray came to press within minutes of losing the match and made no excuses.  He did say that he had a hard time trying to hit though the court, missed a lot of returns and squandered many chances.  He also said compared to last year, he was hitting the ball much better in practice and that he felt better mentally as well so he needs to turn it around for Miami.  The upside? He didn’t have any points to defend!

Around the Grounds at the BNP Paribas Open – Friday, March 9, 2012

 

By Jennifer Knapp

INDIAN WELLS, California- First full day on site  – so many matches (and practices) to see but so little time.   Armed with a fresh camera battery, 8gb memory card and fully charged iPhone, I plotted my plan of attack.   I have a love/hate relationship with the early rounds.  I love the fact that there are so many matches to see any one time but I hate having to make the often times difficult prioritization decisions.  Okay, so I’ll admit that when I think about what I just said, I realize that I am quite lucky to have such a predicament but it really can be quite stressful!   Here it goes!

 

A few minutes after I got settled in the media room, word spread that Feliciano Lopez, David Ferrer and Fernando Verdasco were on the practice courts so I quickly grabbed my camera and headed downstairs.  Before I could get very far, I saw a huge crowd looked up and realized it was Juan Martin Del Potro.  Took a few (blurry) photos and headed over to the grassy area just in time to see Feliciano Lopez kicking around a soccer ball.  More photos.  I spotted Ferrer and Verdasco practicing on the far court and Caroline Wozniacki on the court closest to me. More photos.  Practicing nearby on separate courts were Victoria Azarenka and Janko Tipsarevic. Even more photos before I finally made it to Court 8 for Tommy Haas versus Jarko Nieminen.

 

Tommy Haas

Haas seemed to be in control in the first set but ended up winning it in a tie break – one that he came very close to losing.  He eventually won the match but he cracked at least a few rackets along the way.  Haas has long since been a desert favorite and he didn’t disappoint.  And yes, I took more pictures.

 

Next up was the Novak Djokovic/Viktor Troicki versus Feliciano Lopez/Marcel Granollers match on Stadium One.  It was a very entertaining match but I think the primarily pro-Djokovic/Troicki crowd was quite shocked to see Lopez/Granollers win in straight sets.  No pictures for this one as I was sitting up too high – in the shade – but after a few hours in the direct sun, it was a welcomed relief.

 

Juan Monaco and Rafael Nadal

I made my way back to the practice courts in time to see a huge crowd watching Rafael Nadal and Juan Monaco.  Very little chance of finding any free space, I opted to take photos from the other side and relied on my zoom to make them look much closer than I actually was. 

Also on the practice courts at the same time was Bernard Tomic who was tucked far away from the fans.   I think this might have been his first time in Indian Wells and unfortunately, it was a brief visit as he ended up losing in 3 sets to Gilles Muller.

 

My next destination was Court 2 to watch David Nalbandian and Potito Starace.  It was extremely hot sitting courtside so I took a bunch of photos and headed up to the top of the stands where you have a much better chance of catching a breeze.  The first set was a tight one with Nalbandian taking in in a tiebreak but it seemed like Starace gave up pretty early in the second set and eventually was bageled. Ouch.

 

My Twitter timeline let me know that Victoria Azarenka was in trouble on Stadium 1 so I hightailed it back over there.  The idea the #1 player in the world, riding an unbeaten streak in 2012, could crash out in the first round seemed unthinkable but it came way too close to happening.  Total crowd thriller though and what a match for Mona Barthel.

 

Andy Roddick

Took a quick break to freshen up and got myself situated (in the cafeteria) for the Andy Roddick/Mardy Fish versus Florian Mayer/Jarkko Nieminen match.  Wanted to catch some of the Gael Monfils/Philipp Kohlschreiber doubles but I knew it was going to conflict so I made one of those judgement calls.  Mayer/Nieminen started off with a bang and jumped to an early lead but Roddick/Fish fought back to take the second set and come within only a few points of winning the match. Alas, it wasn’t meant to be.   Managed to catch the last few minutes of Roddick’s news conference and heard him answering questions about his radio show and the Olympics.  

 

Last but not least was the highly anticipated doubles match between Rafael Nadal/Marc Lopez and Nenad Zimonjic/Michael Llodra.  Sat in the photo pit for this one and it was quite a view.  Nadal and Lopez were clearly fired up and seem to play some of their best doubles matches in Indian Wells.  Tonight was no exception as they beat the No. 3 seeds in straight sets.  During the on court interview, Nadal “encouraged” Lopez to speak to the crowd in English but Lopez opted to stick to Spanish.  Great way to end the evening!

 

My next and final task for the day was to complete this write up which I am now finishing after 11:00pm  – 13 hours after my “tennis” day began.  It was an amazing day and Saturday promises to be equally exciting so stay tuned!

Third Time’s the Charm for Monaco in Viña Del Mar

 

In Juan Monaco’s third time in the Viña Del Mar final, the Argentine finally took home the title on Sunday by taking out first-time ATP World Tour finalist fellow countryman Carlos Berlocq 6-3, 6-7(1), 6-1.

“Third time is lucky they say, so this time it’s true,” said Monaco. “I’m very happy to be champion again. I lost the last seven finals, so this is a very special moment for me. I’m very happy because I fought a lot, I practiced a lot and I was thinking a lot about winning a tournament again. [It gives me] confidence and motivation.

“It was a hard final. At the beginning I felt I was playing very well. Then in the second set I started playing a little bit nervous and he came back, fought a lot, and at that time played really well. I tried to be very focused, tried to fight for every point like it was the last one and I started playing better every game.”

Berloq spoke about his career week: “I felt very good. I was very calm and I enjoyed it a lot. I think I did things well and played the match very well tactically. I think that if I continue this way I can continue achieving good results. Now I have to continue working and trying to reach this level of performance as many times as possible each year.

“It gives me a lot of confidence to be able to play at this level. It also gives me peace of mind and confidence to be able to play with the players at an equal level. All the players here are of good quality and even though I reached a final this week, every week is different and I have to continue being focused and working hard.”

The victory was Monaco’s four ATP World Tour title win.

“Our Hope is Intact,” Argentina Takes Doubles Rubber on Day 2 of Davis Cup Final

Argentina’s David Nalbandian reacts after winning his Davis Cup tennis match in Buenos Aires March 4, 2011. REUTERS/Marcos Brindicci (ARGENTINA – Tags: SPORT TENNIS IMAGES OF THE DAY)

 

David Nalbandian and Eduardo Schwank kept hope alive for Argentina in the Davis Cup final when they defeated Feliciano López and Fernando Verdasco 6-4, 6-2, 6-3 in the doubles rubber on Saturday in Seville, Spain.

“We played a great game. We’re in very good shape, and the series is still alive,” said Nalbandian. “Our hope is intact.” The win gave Nalbandian his 12th career Davis Cup doubles victory equaling Guillermo Vilas’ record for Argentina.

“We feel alive,” Argentine Davis Cup Captain Tito Vázquez said.

López, who made numerous errors on easy volleys during the match said,“It was not our best day, especially not mine. It was my worst ever Davis Cup match.”

Spain leads Argentina 2-1 going the final day of play on Sunday when the team play reverse singles. Rafael Nadal who has a 16-0 record playing clay will face Juan Martin Del Potro in Sunday’s opening rubber.

Spain’s captain, Albert Costa, said: “Tomorrow we have Nadal and Ferrer to win one point.” Spain is looking to capture it’s fifth Davis Cup title.

“We first have to beat Nadal, which obviously will not be easy,” said Vazquez. “It’s normal (Del Potro) feels tired but I think he’s ready for the challenge tomorrow. To take it to a fifth match we have to win the fourth and that means we have to beat Rafa Nadal. It’s not so simple.”

Argentina has never won Davis Cup but has been a finalist three times before 2011.

Ferrer will play either Juan Monaco or Nalbandian in the final match.

“I’m not pessimistic. Tomorrow we have Nadal and Ferrer to win one point” said Costa.
