Si elvetienii se iau de Simona Halep

Jurnalistii elvetieni o critica pe Simona Halep pentru o decizie pe care a luat-o la finalul anului trecut, considerand ca aceasta a fost inexplicabila.

Portalul Bluewin face o analiza a rolului pe care antrenorii il au in progresul jucatorilor, iar Simona Halep este dat exemplu negativ.

"Nimeni nu ar trebui sa spuna ca antrenorii nu sunt importanti in tenis!", e concluzia trasa de publicata elvetiana.

In ceea ce o priveste pe Simona Halep, elvetienii gasesc decizia sportivei noastre de a renunta la Wim Fissette ca fiind inexplicabila.

"Greselile ultimelor luni: Ce face o jucatoare care a urcat de pe locul 11 pana pe 3 si ajunge in prima finala de Grand Slam? Simona Halep si-a dat afara antrenorul!", a mai scris sursa citata.

Eugenie Bouchard si Agnieszka Radwanska sunt si ele date exemplu negativ de jurnalistii elvetieni.

Simona Halep a anuntat, in luna octombrie, ca a renuntat la colaborarea cu antrenorul belgian Wim Fissette, care i-a fost alaturi timp de zece luni..

Sportiva l-a angajat pe Wim Fissette la inceputul anului trecut si, sub comanda sa, a castigat turneele de la Doha si Bucuresti.

De asemenea, sportiva a ajuns in finalele de la Roland Garros si Turneul Campioanelor si in semifinale la Wimbledon.

Dupa despartire, Wim Fissette a acuzat-o pe Simona Halep ca s-a schimbat mult in ultimul an, transformandu-se "dintr-o fata timida intr-un superstar". Totodata, Fissette a reprosat ca s-a uitat rolul pe care l-a avut in obtinerea unor rezultate "la care Simona nici nu visa".

In schimb Serena Williams e sigura ca Madison Keys, pe care a invins-o in semifinale la Australian Open, va ajunge pe primul loc in ierarhia WTA.

Desi in luna octombrie a anului trecut, dupa finala de la Turneului Campioanelor, i-a transmis Simonei Halep ca va ajunge pe primul loc WTA, acum pare ca americanca s-a razgandit.

"Cred ca poate fi cea mai buna din lume. Daca va continua sa joace in modul asta, atunci cu siguranta va fi numarul 1", a spus Serena, conform Herald Sun.

"Are dorinta de a deveni cea mai buna si de asta e nevoie. Am fost impresionata de abilitatea ei de a sta in meci si n-a renuntat pana la final. Asta e de asemenea o mare calitate", a continuat aceasta.

Dupa Turneul Campioanelor, Simona a dezvaluit ca Serena i-a spus ca "e sigura ca va deveni numarul 1 in lume si ca vrea sa faca o poza cu viitorul lider".

35 e locul ocupat in prezent de Madison Keys in ierarhia WTA.

Topul celor mai zgomotoase jucatoare de tenis

Spectatorii dar si telespectatorii meciurilor de tenis feminin sunt adesea deranjati de zgomotele produse de jucatoare. Si nu putine sunt cazurile in care urletele scoase de acestea rivalizeaza cu evenimente la care ai nevoie de casti de protectie.

Presa americana a realizat topul celor mai galagioase jucatoare din istoria tenisului si, asa cum era de asteptata, primul loc ii apartine Mariei Sharapova.

Rusoaica are un record masurat de 101 decibeli, ceea ce echivaleaza cu suntele scoase de un avion ce tocmai decoleaza.

Locul doi este ocupat de portugheza Michelle Larcher de Brito (decibeli neconfirmati), ale carei urlete sunt la fel de puternice precum motorul unei masini de Formula 1.

Cu 93,2 de decibeli, americanca Monica Seles ocupa locul trei in acest top. Ea este printre primele jucatoare care au dat nastere acestui fenomen. Dupa retragerea din activitate, Seles a afirmat ca regreta ca urla atat de puternic.

Pe locul patru se afla Serena Williams, cu 88,9 decibeli, care s-ar traduce in echivalentul unui pickamer.

Ultimul loc in acest top ii revine lui Venus Williams, cu 85 de decibeli, ceva mai silentioasa decat sora ei, dar suficient de enervanta pentru spectatorii tenisului.

Vom avea asadar o finala zgomotoasa la Australian Open de anul acesta, Serena Williams si Maria Sharapova se vor intalni, sambata, intr-o finala de vis la Australian Open, in ceea ce specialistii tenisului considera a fi cea mai mare rivalitate din ultimul deceniu.

Totusi, jurnalistii de la Wall Street Journal au demonstrat ca rivalitatea despre care se vorbeste nu exista in realitate, intrucat Serena nu a avut niciodata probleme cand a intalnit-o pe Sharapova.

Cele doua sportive s-au intalni de 18 ori, iar bilantul victoriilor este 16-2 in favoarea Serenei. De asemenea, Serena are o serie de 15 victorii consecutive, ultimul esec datand din 2004.

In plus, publicatia americana prezinta si alte date statistice, menite sa demonstreze ca Sharapova nu se poate ridica la nivelul Serenei Williams.

Din 2008, de cand WTA a inceput sa contabilizeze statisticile, cele doua sportive s-au intalnit de 12 ori (26 de seturi). Americanca a castigat 15 seturi fara ca Sharapova sa obtina mai mult de trei game-uri. In cinci dintre ele, ea a pierdut doar unul, iar in alte doua nici macar unu.

In aceste 12 partide, Serena a facut 108 de asi si 37 de duble greseli, in timp ce Sharapova a avut doar 24 de asi si 73 de duble greseli.

Aceasta va fi a patra intalnire intre cele doua sportive cu ele clasate pe primele doua locuri in ierarhia WTA. La precedentele trei, Serena s-a impus de fiecare data.

Sharapova si Serena Williams sunt in finala de la Australian Open

Maria Sharapova si Serena Williams au dat primele declaratii despre finala feminina de la Australian Open.

Cele doua s-au calificat in ultimul act de la Melbourne dupa ce s-au impus in semifinalele de joi dimineata.

Serena Williams este constienta ca porneste ca favorita in disputa de sambata, insa nu uita ca Sharapova este un adversar redutabil.

"Toata lumea se asteapta ca eu sa castig, dar Maria joaca fenomenal. Era aproape eliminata, dar si-a revenit si s-a calificat mai departe, iar acum joaca din ce in ce mai bine.

Cred ca e foarte bine ca numarul 1 si numarul 2 din clasamentul WTA se vor intalni in finala. Cred ca va fi un meci interesant", a declarat Williams.

La randul ei, "Masha" anunta ca isi doreste sa rupa blestemul si s-o invinga, in sfarsit, pe Serena.

"Cred ca forta si agresivitatea ei m-au facut intotdeauna putin prea agresiva, sa incerc mai mult decat pot. Reuseste sa isi forteze adversarele sa greseasca. Pentru mine a fost dificil sa joc impotriva ei pana acum, dar sunt gata sa incerc din nou. Voi merge pe teren si voi da totul pentru a incerca sa castig", a precizat rusoaica.

Finala feminina de la editia din acest an a Australian Open pune fata in fata cea mai importanta rivalitate din tenisul feminin in ultimul deceniu.

Maria Sharapova si Serena Williams, ocupantele primelor doua locuri in clasamentul WTA, au oferit, pe langa meciurile superbe, si momente pline de tensiune.

Cele doua jucatoare nu au avut niciodata o relatie apropiata si s-au contrat de fiecare data cand au avut ocazia, insa apogeul a fost atins in urma cu un an si jumatate.

La acel moment, Serena Williams a fost surprinsa de un jurnalist in timp ce vorbea la telefon cu Venus Williams despre Maria Sharapova.

"Ea incepe fiecare interviu spunand 'Sunt atat de fericita, sunt atat de norocoasa!' E atat de plictisitor! Nici macar nu o invita la petrecerile tari. Si daca vrei sa te iubesti cu un barbat cu inima neagra, cine te opreste?", a spus Serena lui Venus, cu referire la Maria Sharapova.

Declaratiile au aparut in presa americana si au starnit furia rusoaicei, care nu s-a sfiit s-o contreze public, amintindu-i de presupusa relatie pe care o are cu antrenorul patrick Mouratoglou.

"Daca vrea sa vorbeasca despre lucruri personale, poate ca ar trebui sa vorbeasca despre iubitul ei, care era insurat, iar acum divorteaza desi are copii. Sa vorbeasca despre altceva!", a reactionat Sharapova.

Dupa acest incident, Serena Williams a declarat ca i-a cerut scuze Mariei, dar rusoaica a refuzat sa confirme.

In plus, in ultimul an si jumatate cele doua sportive nu si-au mai vorbit.

Un barbat in varsta le-a cerut sa faca o pirueta Serenei Williams si lui Bouchard

Editia 2015 a Australian Open este lovita de un scandal cu tenta sexuala care a luat amploare in ultimele doua zile. Serena Williams si Eugenie Bouchard, doua dintre cele mai bune jucatoare din intrecerea feminina, sunt implicate.

Totul a plecat dupa ce Ian Cohen, comentator al celor de la Tennis Australia si omul desemnat sa realizeze interviurile de dupa meciuri, le-a cerut celor doua sportive sa faca piruete pe teren pentru a-si prezenta echipamentele de joc.

Daca Serena a refuzat, Bouchard s-a conformat, insa ulterior a marturisit ca i s-a parut extrem de ciudat.

"A fost ceva neasteptat. Adica, da, nu stiu cum sa explic. Un barbat in varsta mi-a cerut sa fac o pirueta, a fost ceva amuzant", a spus Genie dupa acel episod.

Serena Williams a avut un discurs mai dur, lasand sa se inteleaga faptul ca a fost extrem de deranjata de propunerea lui Ian Cohen.

"Un comentator mi-a cerut sa fac o pirueta. Nu stiu daca le-ar fi cerut acest lucru lui Rafa Nadal sau lui Roger Federer. Nu stiu daca a fost ceva sexist sau nu, nu pot raspunde eu la aceasta intrebare", a replicat lidera clasamentului mondial.

Pe site-urile de socializare evenimentul a luat amploare, jurnalistul australian fiind acuzat de multi de misoginism.

Serena Williams - planul pe 2016

Liderul clasamentului WTA, Serena Wiliams, ia in calcul sa evolueze si in proba de dublu mixt a Jocurilor Olimpice de la Rio, din vara, si astfel sa castige trei medalii olimpice de aur.

"Mi-ar placea sa o fac. Nu stiu, totusi. Sunt o multime de meciuri. Vom vedea", a spus Serena, sambata, inainte de turneul de Grand Slam de la Australian Open, care va incepe luni, relateaza NBC Sports.

Serena Williams are trei medalii olimpice de aur la dublu, castigate cu sora sa, Venus, iar in 2012, la Londra, a castigat pentru prima oara medalia de aur la simplu.

Niciun alt jucator de tenis nu a castigat pana acum medalia de aur la cele trei probe olimpice. Proba de dublu mixt a revenit in programul olimpic in 2012, pentru prima oara din 1924.

Printre potentialii parteneri pe care i-ar putea avea numarul 1 WTA in aceasta proba se numara John Isner si Jack Sock. Serena a jucat in echipa cu Isner la Cupa Hopman din 2015 si a jucat un singur meci de dublu mixt la turneele de Grand Slam, in ultimii 16 ani - cu Bob Bryan, in 2012, la Roland Garros.

Serena Williams si Maria Sharapova au avut probleme medicale in ultimele saptamani, insa cele doua jucatoare au anuntat, sambata, ca sunt pregatite pentru primul Grand Slam al anului, cel de la Australian Open.

Americanca nu a jucat un meci important de patru luni, de cand a pierdut in semifinalele turneului de la US Open, insa sambata a spus ca este sanatoasa, in ciuda faptului ca s-a retras de la meciurile disputate in acest an, scrie The New York Times.

Serena a acuzat probleme la genunchi, insa acum a precizat ca nu mai sufera din cauza vreunei accidentari.

"Sunt un pic obosita astazi", s-a scuzat numarul 1 mondial. Intrebata daca este pregatita 100 la suta inainte de inceputul turneului, a replicat: "Nu, sunt la 120, 130 la suta acum. Stiti, in aceasta saptamana, in saptamanile dinainte de turneu, a fost mult de munca. De fapt am vrut sa am o zi mai usoara atazi. Insa pentru mine, in mintea mea, 'usor' inseamna doar doua ore de munca foarte intensa".

De asemenea, Maria Sharapova, care a fost chinuita de probleme medicale mai multe luni, in sezonul trecut, a spus ca se simte in forma si ca nu mai are nicio problema de sanatate, potrivit Sky Sports.

"Ma simt foarte bine, am ajuns la Melbourne mai devreme decat as fi vrut. Insa acest lucru mi-a dat sansa de a exersa aici in aceasta saptamana", a declarat si Sharapova.

Exista prietenii in tenisul feminin? Cu cine se intelege Halep cel mai bine?

Tenisul feminin este un sport inchis, in care este greu sa iti faci prietene, dar chiar si asa intre cele mai bune jucatoare din lume s-au creat legaturi.

Intr-un sport in care rivalitatea este dusa la extrem, cea mai cunoscuta prietenie este cea dintre americanca Serena Williams si daneza Caroline Wozniacki, relateaza One News.

Cele doua au surprins in momentul in care au mers impreuna la manichiura inaintea unui turneu, iar cel mai frumos moment al relatiei lor s-a petrecut anul trecut, cand Serena Williams a asteptat-o plangand pe Caroline dupa ce aceasta a incheiat maratonul de la New York.

De altfel, Serena Williams spune ca lucrurile s-au schimbat in tenisul feminin, iar jucatoarele au o relatie mult mai apropiata.

"Acum suntem ca intr-o mare familie", afirma Serena Williams, care are o relatie buna si cu Simona Halep, dupa ce cele doua s-au intalnit la Turneul Campioanelor din Singapore.

Totusi, cea mai buna prietena a Simonei Halep din circuitul mondial este Petra Kvitova, ocupanta locului 4 in clasamentul WTA.

In schimb, Maria Sharapova a declarat public ca nu are nicio prietena in tenisul feminin, deoarece nu este interesata de acest lucru.

Bielorusa Victoria Azarenka spera insa sa o faca sa se razgandeasca pe Sharapova, adresandu-i o invitatie in acest sens.

"Nu am iesit cu nicio fata inca, dar sper ca intr-o zi sa ies cu Maria Sharapova, stiu ca locuieste aproape de mine", a afirmat Azarenka.

La fel ca si Maria Sharapova, Eugenie Bouchard a anuntat ca nu vrea sa aiba nicio prietena in tenis.

"Chiar nu vreau sa fiu prietena cu nicio fata din circuit. Vin aici, imi fac treaba si plec. N-am nevoie de distractii!", a explicat Bouchard.

O alta prietenie cunoscuta din tenisul feminin este cea dintre Ana Ivanovici si Sorana Carstea.
