Ich würde Federer sagen, wie verdammt gut er ist Interview: Marcel Hauck | 00:29 | 03.04.2009 Nick Bollettieri (77), der grosse alte Mann der Tenniscoaches, sieht Roger Federers Probleme gegen Rafa Nadal und Andy Murray vor allem im Kopf. Blick: Warum ist es für -Federer so schwierig, gegen Nadal und Murray zu gewinnen? Nick Bollettieri: Nadals Vorhand ist extrem giftig, mit dem hohen Absprung und dem Linkshänder-Drall. Ausserdem hat er seinen Aufschlag gewaltig -verbessert. Und Murray? Murray deckt den Court hervorragend ab, spielt die Bälle immer lang, aber nicht unbedingt schnell. So muss der Gegner den Druck selber machen. Was muss Roger Federer tun, um gegen die beiden zu gewinnen? Gegen Murray müsste er mit -seinen glänzenden Schlägen -eigentlich meistens gewinnen. Es liegt mehr an ihm als an der Stärke Murrays. Nadal muss er unter Druck setzen, die Bälle früh nehmen und den Spanier zu riskanten Passierbällen zwingen. Von der Grundlinie aus wird -Roger 7 von 10 Spielen gegen Nadal verlieren. Würden Sie Federer coachen wollen? Nein, aber ich könnte ihm ein paar hilfreiche Tipps geben. Ich würde niemals an Rogers Technik herumbasteln. Es geht nicht darum, die Vorhand so oder -anders zu spielen. Es ist eine -Frage des Kopfes. Ich würde -Roger sagen, wie verdammt gut er ist. Roger muss wieder auf den Platz gehen und sicher sein, ich bin der Sieger. Reicht das? Früher wollte niemand in der -Tableau-Hälfte von Roger sein. Diese Angst der Gegner gab ihm bereits einen entscheidenden Vorteil. Den muss er sich wieder erarbeiten. Braucht er dazu einen Coach? Roger ist der Beste, der je Tennis gespielt hat. Er braucht keinen Coach, der ihm sagt, wie er spielen muss. Aber vielleicht braucht er jemanden, der ihm in den Hintern tritt und ihm sagt: Hey, du bist der Beste, du wirst gewinnen!

McEnroe offers to help struggling Federer
Sat Apr 4, 2009 10:54am EDT

PARIS (Reuters) - Former great John McEnroe has offered to help Roger Federer rediscover his form after the Swiss suffered a series of uncharacteristic defeats this year.

Since the start of the season, Federer has failed to win a tournament or beat any of his rivals ranked in the world's top four.

After the world number two's latest loss to Serbia's Novak Djokovic on Friday, when he was knocked out of the Sony Ericsson Open in the semi-finals, McEnroe said he was willing to lend a helping hand.

"I would really like to help Roger. Especially as he needs to change his strategy if he wants to beat Nadal. And I have an idea about that," the American was quoted as saying in the French weekly Le Journal du Dimanche on Saturday.

"I can't see myself accompanying a player all year long but it could be really interesting to help out from time to time."

Federer has failed to beat his greatest rival Rafael Nadal for almost 18 months and has emerged second best in their last five meetings, including five-set final thrillers at last July's Wimbledon and at the Australian Open in February.

McEnroe said the Spaniard could cause Federer, who is one shy of Pete Sampras's all time grand slam title record of 14, even more problems in the future.

"I think (Federer) will beat Pete Sampras's record of 14 grand slam wins. But it will not be easy at all for him to become world number one again," McEnroe, a former world number one himself, said.

"Even though Roger is a fantastic player, I think that Nadal will play at a higher level this year than last year provided he stays in a good shape. It could be hard for Roger to keep up."

Who are you and what have you done with Roger Federer

We each have expectations; we form them all the time, even if we don't want to admit it. I expect that when I turn on CNN, I'm going to see the news. I expect that when I run out of milk, I can go to the grocery store and get more. I assume these things because my past experience has taught me to assume them. And if, for example, I were to turn on CNN and find that they were broadcasting an episode of Seinfeld, I would be quite surprised - not because watching Seinfeld is shocking, but because CNN would be an unexpected source for it.

Look. Players break rackets all the time. I'm not applauding the practice - obviously it's wasteful to break an expensive piece of equipment. But it's also understandable. So much time, effort and heart goes into the game for players that I can hardly blame them for getting mad over a bad error. But Federer snapping a racket in half because he missed a forehand is... well... let's say he's an unexpected source.

I've already been accused of holding Roger up to a higher standard than his fellow players, and that was before I wrote this entry. "He's human!" goes the battle cry. And "He has feelings like everyone else." He is. And he does. I've never contended differently. I'm not disappointed in him, nor do I think he should be raked over the coals because he lost control for a moment. But I am perplexed, a little surprised and I can't help but speculate on the changes we've seen in him lately.

Federer has played in exactly 4 tournaments this year and we have seen him sob uncontrollably at one and lose his cool on court in another. It seems to me that the legendary Federer composure is starting to... I don't know. Crumble? Fade? I'm sure you've already heard about his presser after Friday's loss. I can think of no other word to describe him other than miserable. Yes. I know he'd just lost a match. Yes, I'd probably be mad too. But this went beyond the normal disappointment of losing and straight to rude, surly and... well... miserable.

So miserable in fact, that he is glad to see the end of the hard court season so he can move on to clay. The best hard court player the sport has ever seen is glad to be moving on to clay, where his arch-rival is at his very best. Um... OK. Bizzaro Tennis World it is.

Federer's state of grace has come to an end
TOM TEBBUTT From Monday's Globe and Mail
April 5, 2009 at 6:51 PM EDT

To paraphrase Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Roger Federer has nothing to fear but fear itself.

With the latest of his mid-match collapses, a 3-6, 6-2, 6-3 loss to Novak Djokovic in the Sony Ericsson Open semi-finals near Miami last Friday, the tennis world is again abuzz with speculation about the erstwhile indomitable Swiss. It follows similar uncharacteristic displays earlier this year — in the final sets of defeats to Rafael Nadal at the Australian Open and Andy Murray at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, Calif.

His frustration with his erratic ball-striking against Djokovic, especially on his vaunted forehand side, finally boiled over when he smashed his racquet, trailing 0-2 in the final set.

Le Matin, a Swiss newspaper, wrote his play made him "completely unrecognizable," while a fan posted a complaint on the Internet about his form being "just plain shambolic/atrocious/ horrible/unfreakingbelievable/ridiculous/ mind-boggling/underwhelming tennis at its height."

The usually-placid Federer's mangling of the racquet was actually a good sign, a cathartic venting of his inner feelings.

He played better after the blow-up, which was initially greeted by boos that had changed to cheers of encouragement by the time he walked back onto the court with a new frame.

To his credit, even at 0-4, a time when many players would just bash as many balls as possible into the back screen to get off the court quickly, he battled on and won three games.

Maybe the essence of Federer's dilemma is that never has a player soared so high — from 2004 to 2007, he was 315-24 and won 11 of the 12 Grand Slams not played on clay (French Open). And there are no flight plans for soft landings from such ethereal heights.

Listening to his media conferences, in his own mind he attributes his decline in 2008 (after 237 weeks at No.ѓ|1) to mononucleosis during the first part of the year, to a shorter break after Wimbledon in the summer (just two weeks because of the Olympics) and to a back ailment in the fall, which has lingered to some extent into 2009.

It is only natural that it is hard for him to recognize his almost surreal state of grace has come to an end. Whether it is because he has slipped a notch, or others have improved, is not relevant.

What is important is he come to grips, maybe during his three weeks off, with the new reality and reinvent himself as someone who is in the mix but no longer above the fray.

Formerly, in his toughest matches, he would hit a few clunker shots but always rebound and regain his sublime level. Now, he compounds them with what seem to be uncontrollable flurries of unforced errors.

The world No. 2 is still capable of playing at or near his former level, as he has shown at times in the losses to No. 1 Nadal, No. 4 Murray and No. 3 Djokovic. The problem seems to be some adverse reaction, a mental block that takes over his nervous system and feeds on itself.

As mystified as he may be, he must accept he is no longer eerily better than the competition, and try to play more relaxed and not constantly beat up on himself.

Also, the tears after these losses, which famously flowed at the Australian Open and were also in evidence last week, have to stop.

He needs someone, such as a coach whom he respects, to shake some sense into him and emphasize what is happening is not cataclysmic. The great Pete Sampras went 26 months and 33 events without a title from 2000 to 2002. Federer has gone a mere five months and five tournaments without success.

Exactly 10 years younger than Sampras, Federer has always worked harder than him at staying fit and should have a few more years left to add to his 13 Grand Slams titles and surpass Sampras's record of 14. But he needs to find a rekindled joy and freedom in playing, and combine it with an attitude that reconciles his less dominant status today with his glory days.

After his unexpected loss to Djokovic in the 2008 Australian Open semi-finals, he dramatically declared he had "created a monster."

Now, he must beware he isn't devoured by that monster.

просто пост

quote:

louisandorlando I am a long time lurker at RF.com and can I first say how much I appreciate and enjoy all the regular posters - krist, alicat65, wcr, rickyroger, norah and andrew burton, to name just a few. I've been watching tennis for over 40 years. I can even remember watching Rod Laver in grainy black and white. I played a little as a child but zero hand-eye co-ordination and zero athletic ability do not a tennis player make, so it was watching for me. Of all the players I've seen only Roger and John MacEnroe have had 'magic' rackets. Much as I loved watching JM play, his bratty, attention seeking personality ..... I don't need to say more except that if Roger even considered him as a coach he should be taken off to a discreet institution in the Swiss Alps for a while. Because I'm not a serious player I'm going to leave the technical comments to others who are better qualified, though it is obvious that Roger has some wrinkles at the moment. What Roger appears to be showing most of all at the moment is extreme stress - shell-shock, battle fatigue, burn-out, call it what you will. Irritability, volatile emotions, uncertainty, lack of self-confidence (see reports from Swiss press / Heinz Gunthardt in news thread - Roger is clearly not hiding how he feels from his own press), confusion, repeated inability to perform in a previously 'normal' situation, exhaustion (see end of Roddick match) - they are all classic symptoms which in 'real' life would mean sympathy and time away from work. At the moment the press is admirably performing the role of the First World War army and executing Roger for cowardice ... as are a few fans. I wouldn't be at all surprised if Roger was absolutely furious with himself for smashing the racket just because it would give every Neil, Charlie and smart ass in the press room more ammunition to shoot him with. The only good thing to be said for it was that it jolted him out of his introspective funk and he got some good games on the board. To quote JMac, Roger has put together the four greatest years in the Open era. Andre Agassi said that Rafa was writing cheques his body eventually wouldn't be able to cash - nobody was noticing - even Roger - that he was doing the same to his mind and body. No matter how insanely gifted you are you simply cannot expect to keep putting out the physical, mental and emotional effort that it takes to win all those matches and fulfill all those expectations from fans, tournament directors, sponsors, media, ones country and oneself, especially if you are as rightfully proud and responsible as Roger. Eventually ones mind and body say I can't do this every time you ask me any more. I am sure this started happening to Roger at the end of 2006. How many of us wake up in the night screaming for no apparent reason? On top of that Roger is now coping with the idea of fatherhood. I am sure he and Mirka are totally thrilled, but theirs is a 'two hearts that beat as one' relationship and maybe Roger hasn't acknowledged it yet, but the prospect of not having her with him all the time must be a very daunting one. The reason that I've put this post in the 'coach' thread is because I think Roger badly needs 'wise counsel' (Darren Cahill does not fit this bill - Yoda, he ain't). It doesn't have to be a coach in the conventional sense but I think it has to be someone who is not in his inner circle, not because I think he's an arrogant so and so surrounded by yes men, but because it is so much easier to listen to advice and gain persepective when there is less emotion in the mix and the source is qualified and respected. Tom Tebbutt in his piece in the Globe and Mail could not have summed up more perfectly where Roger is. Someone ought to put it in front of Roger and make him read it until he understands it - just as Roger will have to say to his son or daughter, 'eat your creamed spinach, it's good for you'. Roger has got to realise that his quest for perfection must be re-calibrated otherwise it will make it harder and harder to achieve his final dreams in tennis. I would be very surprised if he can work out how to re-calibrate without a Yoda. I know Pete Bodo is not popular round here and I can't deny that I don't think he 'likes' Roger as a person, but he really knows tennis and admires Roger's achievements very much. He wrote a piece called The Third Stage of Greatness. He also knows where Roger is now. Roger is not less great, but nothing and no-one can defy the passage of time - stuff happens as we get older. It can't be, doesn't need to be and shouldn't be the same as it was. Will he be less loved by the fans, less talented, less respected by his peers, less of a Swiss icon and, most important, less likely to achieve his goals - of course not. OK, off to search the galaxies now...

соотечественники совсем не так дружелюбны к Роджеру, как совсем недавно,
и как он вообще-то давно этого заслужил. Уже называют его Феди.... И рассуждают
о том, когда же Марри украдет (так написано) у него второе место в рейтинге.
http://www.blick.ch/sport/tennis/federerundco/federer-bald-nur-noch-nummer-3-116287
коротко:
1. Надаль доминирует как раньше Роджер.
2. Марри - беспримерный прогресс во всем.
3. Роджер - проигрывает пока только топ-4, зато регулярно. о первом месте не может
быть и речи, посмотрим на ближайших турнирах, будет ли и дальше скатываться
вниз или вернется.
4. Роддик - очень большой прогресс в последнее время, но проблемы как у Федерера:
турнир выиграть не может.
5. Джокович - его теснит Марри.
