Djokovic sweeps Raonic

Novak Djokovic crushed in Sunday's final at Indian Wells Masters 1000 first season, the Canadian Milos Raonic 6-2, 6-0 in one hour and 18 minutes, so that it becomes the first player with five titles in the Californian desert.

Djokovic proved once again that he is the king of kings of the current court and added a new crown, the third consecutive in Indian Wells after those obtained in 2008, 2011, 2014 and 2015. It is also his title 27 in a Masters 1000, with which equals the mark of Spanish Rafael Nadal.

The Serbian dominated previous clashes with Raonic 6-0, 15-1 sets. This was the second final in which the faces looked after Paris-Bercy 2014 of which ended 6-2, 6-3 to Serbian.

The world number one, bordering on perfection in his game, shattered the plan of his rival from the start. Raonic was overwhelmed, surprised at such a gale, almost useless without his serve and would make the expected limited damage after the rest of his rival.

Meanwhile, Belgrade smiled. The strategy suggested in the previous day -neutralizar his serve and put the greatest number of remains at stake had left him perfectly and 4-0 set.

Thirty minutes into the game cost the Canadian claim his first game of the crash, but it was too late to react because Nole had direct and the first set in 44 minutes brokered, causing a thunderous applause from the 15,000 spectators who packed the central stadium of Indian Wells.

The general feeling was that the party would be short-lived. And so it was finally.

Djokovic tennis strokes and his gallery were growing even with the passage of minutes. Quite the opposite than his opponent, who was shrinking to almost nothing with each pointing the point that Belgrade.

Raonic was not even a shadow of the player who came to surprise the circuit in 2016. His service, sometimes devastating, was not a factor in the race, and without that weapon in his favor, the Canadian scares a lot less.

For the giant was his third final Masters 1000, but has yet to win the title at no.

Carla Suarez, champion in Doha

Carla Suarez gives the big jump in Doha, the most valuable radiant triumph of his career. Canary completed in the desert a wonderful week and in the end has slowed the momentum of Jelena Ostapenko , a girl of 18 years with a tremendous journey. Suarez, on a Saturday in contrast, has been imposed by 1-6 6-4 6-4 and is already in the cream of women 's tennis, number six and up.

In the prologue, the Spanish was unable to shake favoritism. In a jiffy, his enemy overpowered him with an amazing variety , capable of connecting with left hammer great. Punished for his tremors, Suarez assumed should wait for the storm to pass Ostapenko.

Go ahead that Latvia is a player who will war , very deserving their way in Doha and it has accumulated victories level. However, it seemed direct the title in the second set, but the experience weighs in tennis and Suarez offered a dose of patience and faith unpayable. It matured the match and took him to the third set when it seemed doomed.

And even there he was reborn when the thing was twisted. Ostapenko started the third set with a break for it , but the canary gave flip the script and went 0-2 against the 4-2. With tailwind, I knew how to handle the advantage masterfully and was enough to move his Jovene opponent to finish raising his arms. Carla Suarez, an example of work and improvement, is already among the best, among the best really.

Muguruza is anger of his coach

A Garbiñe Muguruza does not like to miss parcheesi . What she acknowledges, and is aware that it is the head that sometimes makes you fail over the account as well. Andrea Petkovic against tried everything, but could not overcome the German or his own nerves (1-6, 7-5 and 2-6).

During one of the exchanges, the Spanish tennis player requested input coach Sam Sumyk and calm face the French, the frustration of Muguruza."Tell me something I do not know , " he blurted tennis player in English. "I already know it" continued to attempts to appease his coach.

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.

Anastasia Myskina, despre Simona Halep

Fosta mare jucatoare de tenis Anastasia Myskina (Rusia) a vorbit despre esecul pe care Simona Halep l-a suferit in sferturile de finala de la Australian Open, in fata rusoaicei Ekaterina Makarova.

"Ekaterina Makarova a obtinut o victorie superba in fata unei jucatoare de top, care a incantatlumea tenisului prin ascensiunea pe care a avut-o. Simona e capabila de meciuri fabuloase, dar Ekaterina a reusit s-o invinga. La Simona m-a uimit cel mai mult modul in care reuseste sa compenseze lipsa taliei", a comentat Myskina.

Anastasia Myskina este prima jucatoare din Rusia care a castigat un titlu de Grand Slam, la Roland Garros in 2004.

Simona Halep a fost eliminata in sferturile de finala de la Australian Open, dupa infrangerea suferita in fata rusoaicei Ekaterina Makarova (locul 11 WTA), scor 4-6, 0-6.

Intalnirea dintre Simona Halep si Makarova a durat doar o ora si noua minute.

Pentru evolutia de la Australian Open, Simona Halep va primi 430 de puncte in clasamentul WTA si 240 de mii de euro.

Anul trecut, Simona a fost eliminata tot in sferturile de finala, de Dominika Cibulkova.

Chiar daca a fost eliminata in sferturile de finala de la Australian Open, Simona Halep a reusit, totusi, sa-i impresioneze pe organizatorii primului turneu de Grand Slam din acest an.
Organizatorii au stabilit ca Simona Halep a reusit cea mai frumoasa lovitura a turneului, in meciul cu Yanina Wickmayer.

"Putere, viteza, strapungere. Asa arata perfectiunea!", este descrierea facuta de organizatorii turneului la lovitura pe care Simona Halep a reusit-o in turul doi, in meciul cu Yanina Wickmayer.

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.

Cati bani a castigat (pana acum) Maria Sharapova?

Chiar daca in acest moment nu traverseaza un moment prea bun in tenis, unde a ajuns pe locul 7 in clasamentul WTA, Maria Sharapova se poate mandri cu averea impresionanta pe care a acumulat-o la nici 30 de ani. 

Maria Sharapova are o oarecare constanta in Top 8 WTA, chiar daca alterneaza evolutiile foarte bune cu cele mai putin bune! Insa, in tot acest interval, frumusetea este cea care a ajutat-o sa obtina contracte cu foarte multi bani pentru ea!

Jurnalistii de la publicatia Gazette Review au publicat topul celor mai bogati oameni din sport, iar Maria Sharapova a fost desemnata femeia cu cea mai mare avere.

In mod cert nu se poate compara cu barbatii, insa Sharapova a acumulat, totusi, o avere de 195 de milioane de dolari. Mereu in competitiile rezervate barbatilor, banii sunt mai multi decat in competitiile similare feminine. 

Asa cum se stia inca de anul trecut, Ion Tiriac este cel mai bogat om de sport, cu o avere estimata la 2.2 miliarde de dolari.

"Incepand cu 1990 a inceput mai multe afaceri pline de succes in Romania, precum banci, companii aeriene si auto", noteaza sursa citata despre Tiriac.

Topul celor mai bogati sportivi:

1. Ion Tiriac - 2.2 miliarde de dolari

2. Michael Jordan - 1.1 miliarde de dolari

3. Michael Schumacher - 800 milioane de dolari

4. Vince McMahon - 750 milioane de dolari

5. Arnold Palmer - 675 milioane de dolari

6. Floyd Mayweather - 650 milioane de dolari

7. Tiger Woods - 640 milioane de dolari

8. Roger Staubach - 600 milioane de dolari

9. Magic Johnson - 500 milioane de dolari

10. LeBron James - 425 milioane de dolari

Sports Illustrated despre Simona Halep la Australian Open

Una dintre cele mai apreciate jurnaliste de tenis din Statele Unite ale Americii a facut un comentariu surprinzator dupa ce a vazut lista adversarelor pe care Simona Halep le poate intalni pana in fazele superioare ale Australian Open.

Courtney Nguyen de la revista Sports Illustrated a descris tabloul de care Simona Halep are parte drept "o rusine", deoarece sportiva noastra intalneste adversare slab cotate.

"E clar ca Halep se va califica din aceasta parte de tablou. E o rusine, nici macar nu e amuzant. Are doar jucatoare pe care stie cum sa le bata. Errani? N-o va bate niciodata pe Halep! Romanca ar fi batut-o si pe Ivanovici oricum. Este sigur ca Simona va ajunge in semifinale!", a comentat Nguayen.

Explicatia surprizelor de la Australian Open si cand va fi invinsa Halep Interviu cu Erik Gudris

Apoi, Nguayen a facut cateva predictii, fiind sigura ca Simona Halep va fi invinsa de Maria Sharapova in semifinale.

Nu ati uitat banuiesc, pe vremea cand era inca in competitiile junioarelor, Simona Halep a castigat Roland Garros. Una dintre cele mai talentate jucatoare de tenis din lume este romanca, dar a ales sa reprezinte Canada in competitiile internationale.

Bianca Andreescu are 15 ani si ocupa locul 4 in clasamentul mondial destinat junioarelor. A inceput tenisul in Romania, dar in competitiile internationale reprezinta Canada, conform The News & Observer.

Desi Andreescu s-a nascut la Ontario, tenisul l-a inceput in tara noastra, la varsta de 7 ani, sub comanda unui prieten de-al tatalui sau.

Impreuna cu familia, Bianca Andreescu s-a intors in Canada pe cand avea 10 ani, unde talentul nativ a fost observat rapid de specialistii tenisului din aceasta tara, care nu au stat, au lucrat la programul ei, pentru a obtine maxim de performanta.

Andreescu a fost cooptata la Centrul National de Tenis de la Toronto, iar acum se pregateste sub comanda lui Nathalie Thauziat, o fosta jucatoare din Franta care a ajuns in finala de la Wimbledon, pe vremea cand era in activitate.

Specialistii din lumea tenisului o compara deja cu Simona Halep, in special datorita stilului de joc.

"Imi place mult Simona deoarece avem un stil asemanator de joc. Incerc sa urmaresc cu atentie", a afirmat Andreescu.

"Imi propun sa ajung numarul unu in lume si sa castig in turneu de Grand Slam", a mai spus Andreescu.

"My new life is beautiful, it's different, it's exciting in some views and quieter in others, are very happy and serene and this is important," he told askanews. 

Behind the decision to leave the court, he explained, there is a sentimental reason, contrary to what many have speculated. 

"My choice is not due to the pair but a feeling I had inside of me, a physical and mental fatigue, the fact that maybe not every day I wanted to compete in a world where you have to do it all the time," he said. The daily life of Flavia Pennetta has not changed much, despite the absence from competition.

Andrea Petkovic motivated by Sven Voss

Andrea Petkovic, currently world ranking number 22 in women's tennis, was on Saturday night as a guest in the current Sports Centre (ZDF) and told in an interview with presenter Sven Voss, why she thought the leztzten weeks and months again and again about their careers end.

After this little slugfest the face of Petkovic started to significantly darken before they talked about the most difficult time of their career. Career-ending? Burn-out, deep hole ... all terms that last fall in connection with Germany's tennis ace.

Petkovic commented wiefolgt: "I have said I do not want to go on like that was, but rather based on the 0:. 6, 0: 6 defeat (...), on the deep hole in which I daily maneuvered myself had - I had just not fun anymore, I took everything too seriously, every defeat was totally meaningless pregnant It was loose anything I had forgotten that I still love the sport "...

Voss goes where it hurts - the TV viewers got a sovereign Petkovic to see that, however, time and again noticeably tried to steer the conversation in a fluffy, light, entertaining direction. Somewhat confused her compared to the lead singer of Led Zeppelin, who had to fight also the age of 28 years with burnout, but then "his guitar in his hand took" and doing what he loved. Moderator Sven Voss however let such comparisons winking subsequently no longer apply and turned consistently among the subjects that Petkovic visible severe fell:

Voss: "Is it too difficult to go on tour, if one knows that one is really needed at home your mother is ill ...?" Petkovic: "Yes, there came much together I am a very familirärer Man Man enjoying.. the time very, you must spend at home. (...) It was also a part of the whole, I've built up in my head (...) which was not so bad to the outside. This is me now become aware." 

Sven Voss: " Is that your criticism at the tennis circus you travel a lot (...) In reality, you are there also very lonely "? Andrea Petkovic: " Yes, (...) the images that you see, it always looks all very loud. But it is most of the time alone in the hotel (...) as I would hope, I would have a football team with me (...) Just the time to share together (...) The of course, has played a big part. "

Conclusion: A presence that is encouraging - and wanting more towards the end of the interview told Petkovic nor of their friendly ties to Boris Becker: "When I go to a match almost depressed sitting at the French Open at the table, he's easy to set me. (...) In the end it was really great, he could tell me a lot of things. " Boris Becker, as Petkovic could "give a bit of maintenance" her. And you could see that even the TV appearance. Petkovic had strengthened, motivated, confident. Nothing to see from the disturbing impressions, moored at the headlines of the past few weeks ("End of career", "crisis of meaning", "crying fits").

Andrea Petkovic is back. And looking forward to the new season. At the Olympics in Rio. "I look forward to as a little child," said the tennis player. We are pleased with it!
