Nisam to gledao, a i mrzi me da tražim. Spor je sajt. Daj link.

Nego, Nadal je prilično potcenjen u poslednje vreme. U meču s Davydenkom je kvota na njega veća! 1.85:1:75. odds-comparison. Jedino je na williamhill.com fifti-fifti.

Trenutno nema snage za vise a i Davidenko igra u dobroj formi. Meni je vazno da Davidenko za 150 godina igranja tenisa ne bi uzeo ono sto vec sad ima Rafa a pitanje je da li ce do kraja karijere uopste uzeti nesto veliko. Ne obracam puno paznje na coveka koji je umesan u namestanje meceva i koji ne shvata velicinu Vimbldona ;)
 
Nadal je takmičenje na Mastersu završio bez osvojenog seta i zabeležio je četiri uzastopna poraza u završnici sezone.

"Baterije se nekada istroše i morate da kupite nove. To ću ja uraditi sledeće sezone. Oporaviću se i naporno trenirati. Nisam previše razočaran. I pre početka turnira sam znao da će biti teško, ali želeo sam da pokušam", rekao je Nadal.

"Trudim se na svakom meču i mislim da sam malo napredovao. Ali, to je tenis, igrate sa najboljim svetskim teniserima, a na ovoj podlozi nisam mogao više", dodao je španski teniser.

Nadal očekuje bolju sezonu u 2010.

Drugi igrač sveta Rafael Nadal uveren je da će, uprkos relativno kratkim pripremama, sezonu koja počinje naredne sedmice početi mnogo bolje nego prethodnu.

Španac je, posle veličanstvenog početka sezone, kada je osvojio Australijen Open, Indijan Vels, Barselonu, Monte Karlo i Rim, do kraja godine imao problema sa povredom kolena i stomačnih mišića, zbog čega je izgubio prvo mesto na ATP listi, dok je doživeo i prvi poraz na Rolan Garosu. Ipak, posle odbrane titule Španije u Dejvis kupu, Nadal je optimista.

"Sada sam se pripremao samo tri sedmice, ali me povrede nisu mučile i to vreme sam odlično iskoristio. Potpuno sam spreman i verujem da u sezonu ulazim mnogo bolje pripremljen nego prošle godine", rekao je Nadal.

Nadal je pripreme završio dvočasovnim igranjem protiv Karlosa Moje, a potom je otputovao za Abu Dabi, gde će učestvovati na egzibicionom turniru "Capital World Tennis Championship", od 31. decembra do 2. januara.

Sezonu će zvanično početi 4. januara turnirom u Dohi, a potom će od 11. januara učestvovati na prvom godišnjem gren slemu u Melburnu.

Iako mu je cilj da ponovo juriša na titule na svim takmičenjima, Nadal kaže da će mu prioritet biti Rolan Garos. Posle četiri uzastopna trijumfa na pariskoj šljaci, ove godine ga je u četvrtom kolu zaustavio Šveđanin Robin Soderling.

"Rezultati će biti onakvi kakvi budu, ali u ovom trenutku želim da osvojim sve. Pošto je to, naravno, nemoguće, ostaje mi da pokušam da uradim što je moguće više na svakom turniru", rekao je Nadal

Ja mu verujem... z:)
 
Nadal admits to loss of confidence

Jan 7 01:29 PM US/Eastern

Rafael Nadal, seeking his first ATP World Tour title in eight months, admitted after reaching the semi-finals of the Qatar Open that he has been suffering from a crisis of confidence.
"I have had a lot of problems in the head," the former world number one said after winning 6-1, 2-0 when his opponent, the Belgian qualifier Steve Darcis, retired after only 35 minutes of very one-sided action.

"I have had under-confidence and things in the head - but that's life. You have to accept problems and you have to come back. I am trying. We will see what happens in the next six months."

For someone who has been conspicuously stable while closing out matches, rarely letting slip opportunities to win when they present themselves, Nadal's words superficially contained an element of surprise.

However, he has had increasing problems with arthritic knees, suffered from a stomach ailment, and reportedly been affected by the recent break-up of his parents' marriage.

The 24-year-old Majorcan took only two days' break over Christmas before returning to training and is here in Doha with his mother, though not his uncle-coach Toni. Apparently he will link up in Melbourne for Nadal's defence of the Australian Open title the week after next.

Nadal was asked whether the media has been too impatient with him - suggesting that he is not the player he was, for having reached just one final since returning from a three-month absence in August.

"We will see in a few months," Nadal replied amicably. "Everyone is free to talk. I can say nothing against them. I didn't win against the best players.

"But that's tennis - you can't be all the time one hundred percent. I am ready to try and win tournaments, but you never know what will happen. You have to work every day, every week, and wait your moment."

During the very short time Nadal was on court it was apparent that he was trying to be more forceful with his first serve, later volunteering to having made small improvements identified after many hours of watching videos with his uncle.

He also put plenty of energy into his pumping topspin drives, applying plenty of pressure without waiting for opportunities for his more characteristic counter-attacks. The highlight though was an inventive winning lob, played off his body like a cricket shot.
 
Nadal: "Imam šansi u Melburnu"

Drugi teniser sveta Rafael Nadal rekao je posle poraza u finalu u Dohi od Davidenka da misli da ima šansi za trijumf u Melburnu.

“Moram da budem srećan što sam tokom većeg dela meča bio bolji od jednog od najboljih igrača na ATP turu. Ne kažem da ću trijumovati u Melburnu, nikada se ne zna pre turnira, ali u Dohi sam igrao dovoljno dobro za pozitivan rezultat na Ozi openu. Moram prvo da vidim kakvi su uslovi. Spreman sam da osvojim turnir, ali ne mogu da kažem da će se to i dogoditi".

Nadal je potom analizirao poraz od Davidenka.

“Imao sam meč u svojim rukama nekoliko put u drugom i trećem setu. Bio sam blizu, bolje bi naravno bilo da sam pobedio, ali to je tenis i verovatno je trebalo da budem malo smireniji. Verovatno nisam osvojio ovaj turnir jer nemam trofej već nekoliko meseci. Ali, osvajaću titule ako budem igra na ovom nivou”.
 
Iz intervjua sa Federerom:

"Q: Nadal has not won a tournament since Rome last year, in May. Some think he’ll never be what he once was.
RF: This is bullshit ['conneries' in French]. It reminds me what people said about me last year. I’ve seen Rafa play in Abu Dhabi and in Doha: he lacks absolutely nothing. Granted, he’s not won in a long time. But look at those who beat him: Del Potro, Murray, Davydenko, Djokovic, Soderling… They’re not bad! Think about it: had he played Wimbledon last year and not lost 2,000 points from his victory in 2008, where would he be right now? He came back from injury, so it’s normal that he lacked confidence. But to me, the really great Rafa is still to come."
 
Nadal četiri nedelje van terena

Rafael Nadal odsustvovaće sa terena četiri nedelje zbog povrede kolena koja ga je primorala da preda četvrtfinalni meč Endiju Mariju na Australijen Openu.
Drugi teniser sveta obavio je preglede u Španiji i lekaru mu savetuju potpuno mirovanje naredne dve sedmice, a da se posle toga podvrgne dvonedeljnim tretmanima, navodi se u saopštenju Nadalovog menadžerskog tima. Španac je rekao da nije u pitanju upala tetiva, zbog koje je u nekoliko navrata pauzirao prošle sezone.

Drugi teniser sveta zbog povrede neće učestvovati na turniru u Roterdamu, koji počinje 8. februara, gde je prošle godine u finalu izgubio od Endija Mareja.

"Posle dve nedelje mirovanja, u zavisnosti od rezultata terapije i testova, Nadal će nastaviti sa aktivnostima, a njegov oporavak očekuje se za četiri nedelje", navodi se u lekarskom saopštenju.

Nadal je rekao da je srećan što ga ne muči stara povreda.

"Dobro se osećam i razmišljam o potpunom oporavku. Cilj je da se dobro pripremim i spremno dočekam predstojeće turnure. Veoma sam razočaran što neću igrati na turniru u Roterdamu", rekao je 23-godišnji teniser.

On je istakao i da uopšte nije zabrinut što će izgubiti drugu poziciju na ATP listi.

"Nije važno ako izgubite koju poziciju na listi. To je normalno kada ne možete da se takmičite. Za mene je važnije da ponovo počnem dobro da igram i da se dobro osceham na terenu, kao na turnirima u Abu Dabiju, Dohi, ali i na Australijan openu, gde sam igrao na visokom nivou", rekao je Nadal.

Roger Federer: 2,500 rpm
Rafael Nadal: 3,200 rpm - peaked at 5000 rpm

Rafael Nadal hits the heaviest topspin forehand in the game. This shot works to his advantage when he is full of confidence and is a detriment when confidence is lost.

Nadal Reverse Forehand Advantages

heavy spin brings ball down into court
keeps ball out of opponent's strike zone when hit deep
higher net clearance that reduces errors
heavy topspin = heavy ball for opponent
gives Nadal time for recovery
good rally ball
Nadal Reverse Forehand Disadvantages

When left short can be attacked
fewer winners are hit
strain on body due to its physical nature
gives opponents time to cover court
A healthy, confident Nadal is the most dominant and unbeatable player on tour. He won three out of four majors in a span of less than year against the greatest player of all time and was ranked #1 in the world.

When Nadal loses his confidence, he loses the depth on his forehand wing. This pattern of play has resulted in uncharacteristic losses as of late, and has dropped his ranking to #4 in the world.

Nadal needs to use this next month to regain his confidence and find the form from the 2008 Wimbledon and 2009 Australian Open.

Two things stand out to me when watching the matches during this period. He hit his two-handed backhand hard and flat making it a dangerous weapon. On the forehand side, he put away short replies by stepping into the ball and hitting more of a topspin drive finishing his stroke around his body as opposed to over the head.

His forehand is one of the best shots in the world, and it will benefit him to find the confidence in his topspin drive that spins less and drives more to put away his opponent during a rally.

The day we start seeing that, is the day we will start seeing the rise of Rafa.
