A. MURRAY/I. Ljubicic
7 5, 7 6
An interview with:
ANDY MURRAY

THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.

Q. Pays to challenge calls, doesn't it?
ANDY MURRAY: Yeah, I mean well, obviously got pretty lucky. Supposedly he took the second bounce of the ball, yeah, which obviously landed on the line.
So I don't think it was obviously it wasn't the technology problem. It was sort of human error, which can obviously happen with line calls. I got lucky on that point. I don't know whether it had a huge bearing on the outcome or the result.

Q. How are you feeling?
ANDY MURRAY: I felt okay. It's hot. It was very hot today. I felt a little bit different in relation to the other days.
It was very breezy on the court. A lot of times on the big stadiums, if there is just a slight breeze, it does make a big difference. It sort of stays obviously in the stadium.
From one of the end it was difficult to dictate the points, but I felt fine. Physically I was moving well again, hitting the ball better as the match went on.

Q. How is your ankle?
ANDY MURRAY: The ankle was fine today. Didn't feel it at all.

Q. Can you talk about Federer and Verdasco?
ANDY MURRAY: Yeah, I think Federer obviously is I mean, neither of them have played since Australia but have played pretty well here. I know he had a tough match with Gonzбlez in the last round, but Verdasco struggled a little bit against Kolschreiber.
You know, it's going to be a really good match tonight. I obviously would like to watch it. Regardless, it's going to be a tough match.
Yeah, I wouldn't want to pick a winner in that one.

Q. Can you talk just about individually? Obviously you played Federer and you played Verdasco, both. What do you feel like you have to do against both guys?
ANDY MURRAY: I played Federer a lot. I've played him about seven times, so we know each others' games pretty well. Obviously if I want to beat him I need to play one of my best matches.
You know, it's important to serve solid and make a lot of balls and not feel like you have to do, you know, anything special on each point to win against him.
You know, if you watch the way that Nadal plays against him, it's not like, you know, every point it's doing something unbelievable. He just plays solid, solid, solid crosscourt balls to the backhand, and, you know, it obviously works.
Against Verdasco I've got a very good record against both of them. But at the Aussie Open match, I think I a lost one set against him in the past five times I played him. He's obviously improved a lot. You know, his forehand is a big weapon if it's firing. Obviously try and stay away from that.

Q. Are you at all surprised that you made the semifinals giving the build up to the tournament?
ANDY MURRAY: Yeah, a little bit. You know, I didn't know how I was going to play. As I said, I was just going to try and take each match at a time. I think when everyone says you know, all the players say that, but they might not necessarily be thinking it.
I wasn't thinking about the semifinals at all. I was thinking about the first round match and how I would get through that and each day working on my game and trying to get a little better.
I have done that with each match, and with the next match hopefully I'll play even better than I did today.

Murray and Nadal reach Indian Wells final Scotland's Andy Murray took advantage of an error-prone Roger Federer to reach the final of the ATP event at Indian Wells with a commanding 6-3 4-6 6-1 victory on Saturday. The 21-year-old Scot fended off a spirited fightback by the Swiss in the second set to wrap up the win in one hour 48 minutes and will meet world number one Rafael Nadal in Sunday's title match. Murray, who has won ATP titles this season in Rotterdam and Doha, where he beat Federer in the last four, broke the Swiss twice to sweep through the first set in half an hour. Although Federer raised his performance to level the match, Murray regained control by breaking in the fourth and sixth games of the third to seal victory in one hour 48 minutes. 'Every time I play Roger, I feel like I got a shot to win,' fourth-seeded Murray told reporters after beating Federer for the sixth time in eight encounters. 'That's one of my best wins against him for sure. 'I'm playing the match how I want it to go. If I started trading big groundstrokes with someone like Federer, I think he likes that. 'I haven't done it against him, and I don't do it against many people,' added Murray, who became the first Briton to reach the final here since Tim Henman in 2004. Federer, the number two seed who won the Indian Wells title for three consecutive years from 2004, piled up 32 unforced errors to Murray's 15. 'Way too many errors today,' the Swiss world number two told reporters after struggling with his backhand throughout the match. 'I struggled with the rhythm today. He played unbelievable in the end, and I made many mistakes.' Federer squandered three break points in the fourth game of the match before being broken in the fifth when he struck the net cord with a backhand and the ball bounced out. Murray, playing with fluency, also broke in the ninth to take the opening set when an attempted sliced backhand by the Swiss as he advanced toward the net sailed wide. After early breaks were traded in the second, Federer broke Murray again in the seventh game after hitting a superb crosscourt forehand winner before twice holding serve to clinch the set. Federer, repeatedly urged on by the crowd, failed to maintain his comeback in the third, being broken in the fourth and sixth games as a resurgent Murray completed a deserved victory to reach his third ATP final this year.

Murray Masters Federer To Reach Final

World No. 4 Andy Murray once again got the better of Roger Federer, defeating the three-time BNP Paribas Open champion 6-3, 4-6, 6-1 on Saturday in Indian Wells to advance to the final at the year’s first ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tennis tournament. He will play Rafael Nadal for the title after the Spaniard defeated American Andy Roddick 6-4, 7-6(4).
“I've started to play better against him lately, but he's obviously one of the toughest players ever,” said Murray about playing ATP World Tour Champion Nadal. “I have to play some of my best tennis.”

In his semifinal match, Murray took a frightening tumble in the fourth game of the decisive set, but brushed himself off and won the next three points to go up a break. He broke the Swiss again to take an insurmountable 5-1 lead, and served out the win on his fifth match point.

“Way too many errors today,” said Federer, who committed 32 unforced errors total, including 14 in the first set. “The first set, I tried to keep playing; I couldn't. I struggled with the rhythm today, so that was the same thing in the third set... He played unbelievable in the end.”

Federer had a golden opportunity to assume the lead early in the semifinal match when he held triple break point at 2-1 in the first set, but made three errors and then lost serve in the next game. He pointed it out as a pivotal point of the match: “Who knows if I maybe win that point, maybe he can't play the way he played all match long. That definitely helped him to stay in the match, and then maybe got the break later on after that. So it was a tough match for me and tough moment.”

Since falling to Federer in straight sets in last September’s US Open final, the 21-year-old Murray has now beaten the Swiss four straight times to assume the 6-2 lead in the head-to-head series. He is the third player to have defeated Federer at least four times in a row, joining David Nalbandian and Nadal.

“If you change the pace with the ball a lot and mix it up, I'm playing the match how I want it to go,” said Murray about his tactics. “If I started trading big groundstrokes with someone like Federer, I think he likes that. I haven't done it against him, and I don't do it against many people. That's my game style. Very rarely do I lose matches having let the other guy play his natural game.”

Murray is off to a career-best start in 2009 with an impressive 20-1 record, his only loss coming in the fourth round of the Australian Open to Spaniard Fernando Verdasco. He opened the year with the Doha title, posting wins over Federer and Andy Roddick, and then defeated World No. 1 Nadal in February at Rotterdam to win his 10th ATP World Tour title.

He is the first British player to reach the BNP Paribas Open final since Tim Henman finished runner-up to Federer in 2004. The 21-year-old Scot won his first two ATP World Tour Masters 1000 title last year at Cincinnati and Madrid.

Federer said of his opponent: “He's a great counter puncher and reads the game really well. He's got great feel, so he's very confident at the moment. You can tell the way he plays. He knows he doesn't need to play close to the lines because he knows he can cover the court really well. I think that calms him down mentally. I think that's why he's playing so well.”

The 27-year-old Swiss was playing in his first tournament since an epic five-set defeat to rival Rafael Nadal at the Australian Open, having been sidelined with a back injury for the past month.

He was attempting to become the first four-time winner in tournament history. He won three straight from 2004-06, joining Americans Michael Chang and Jimmy Connors as title leaders at the year’s first ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tennis tournament.

Надаль не оставил Маррэю ни единого шанса в финале Индиан Уэллс

В этот вечер Рафаэль Надаль почти не ошибался. Процент попадания первой подачи - под 90. Все остальные показатели тоже зашкаливали. В общем, Энди Маррэю не было оставлено ни единого шанса, притом, что британец также показывал теннис весьма высокого класса. (где автор высокий класс увидел , я вот ждала-ждала, да не дождалась - прим. мое)
Отметим, что одним из основных факторов этого матча, как и в женском финале, стал сильнейший ветер. Было видно, что менее опытному британцу с ним было справляться особенно нелегко.

Избиение младенца

Рафаэль Надаль стал победителем турнира серии Masters в Индиан-Уэллсе, в финале разгромив Энди Маррея со счетом 6:1, 6:2.

Этого матча ждали с нетерпением. В свете явного схода с орбиты бессменного лидера последних лет Роджера Федерера, именно соперники по отчетному финалу ныне рассматриваются большинством специалистов и болельщиков как основные величины в мировом теннисе на ближайшие годы. Если с Надалем уже все давно ясно, то резко заматеревший Маррей прибавил настолько, что Британия, за последнее время явно охладевшая к теннису ввиду отсутствия в нем сколько-нибудь пристойных результатов, кажется, нашла в его лице новую спортивную икону. Популярность Энди на англоязычных ресурсах растет не по дням, а по часам, и хотя до Бекхэма ему еще далеко, дорогу, как известно, осилит идущий…

Прогнозов на финал, как обычно, хватало. Многие, поначалу признавая Надаля фаворитом просто потому, что он Надаль, подумав, вспоминали, что именно Маррей отнял у 22-летнего «Бешеного Быка с Мальорки» титул в Роттердаме, и именно Маррей остановил победную поступь испанца на US Open-2008. Словом, единого мнения не нашлось, и все сошлись на старом добром «игра покажет». Она и показала…

Встреча началась спокойно. Игроки обменялись геймами на своей подаче, третий гейм тоже остался за подающим (Надалем), а вот в гейме четвертом первый номер мирового рейтинга резко прибавил и сделал брейк. Это событие настолько шокировало Маррея, что он так и не пришел в себя до конца партии. 41 минута – и Рафа оказался в роли ведущего по сетам.

Что творилось с шотландским теннисистом, сказать сложно. С одной стороны, ему явно мешал ветер, укравший у него целый ряд очков. С другой – тот же ветер обдувал и Рафу. Опять же, проиграв пару мячей, унесенных дуновением Зефира, с одной и той же позиции, Маррею, возможно, следовало бы сделать скидку на движение воздушных масс. Однако Энди с упорством, достойным лучшего применения, продолжал стрелять с форхэнда по «девяткам», наблюдая за тем, как мячи улетают за заднюю линию или же в коридор.

Так или иначе, партия была проиграна вчистую. 21-летний британец не сумел получить ни одного брейк-пойнта – с такими показателями рассчитывать на победу было проблематично.

Второй сет стал почти точной копией первого. В начале партии Маррей, казалось, встрепенулся и взял два гейма (правда, оба на своей подаче), но затем вновь расклеился, и избиение 191-сантиметрового младенца продолжилось. Взгляды, бросаемые им на своего наставника Майлза Маклэгана, не помогали – старина Майлз, похоже, и сам был не очень-то в курсе, что происходит.

Последний же гейм встречи и вовсе превратился в формальность. Надаль быстро оформил тройной матчбол, и хотя Маррей и подергался, ввязавшись в длительный «грунтовый» розыгрыш, исход этого действа не оставлял сомнений.

В итоге, за один час и двадцать минут 22-летний Рафаэль Надаль разгромил 21-летнего Энди Маррея и завоевал свой второй (после 2007 года) титул на кортах Индиан-Уэллса.

Соперников же ему по-прежнему не видно. Может быть, Вы, молодой человек? Нет? Что ж, на «нет» и суда нет. Будем искать…

http://www.eurosport.ru/tennis/indian-wells-masters/2009/story_sto1884090.shtml

надо сказать, что название полностью отражает мое настроение когда смотрела матч, Энди на самом деле смотрелся дитя дитём на фоне Рафы.

A. MURRAY/R. Federer
6-3, 4-6, 6-1


THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.

Q. You took such a terrible tumble there. Did you feel that the match was over at that point possibly?
ANDY MURRAY: Well, obviously got a little bit scared at first. Then, you know, once I got up and ran around after a couple points, I knew that it felt okay.
But I had a few problems with my groin, that groin, when I was younger. Actually got a tear in the cartilage, which quite a lot of people do have. I just kind of get used to it. It's a bit stiffer than my right side.
Obviously feels fine just now. Hopefully it'll be okay tomorrow.

Q. After that particular fall, he then went into a bit of a trance and you were almost able to dominate the match from there on in.
ANDY MURRAY: I managed to do the same in Doha, as well. You know, just -- yeah, I started to make a lot of balls. I was getting the ball nice and high and deep, and actually, after I fell over, the wind picked up quite a bit.
He missed a few balls long in that game, mishit a couple. After that, he had little chance at 5-1. But I think I lost one, maybe one point in the next -- from after I fell, maybe one point in the next sort of three games after I fell. It was quite comfortable after that.

Q. Two years ago when you played Tommy Haas, you took a fall down a set and you came back and won. Can you just talk about that? Seemed like a couple times when you kind of hurt yourself you've come back and played stronger, at least here you have.
ANDY MURRAY: Yeah, the match against Haas was a bit different. It was quite serious. I had problems with the ankle that I twisted.
The next day I woke up feeling pretty swollen and not great. You know, today I didn't feel like I hurt myself. I just went down.
Obviously when you fall or lose your footing and stuff, you're a little bit shocked at first, a bit scared. But I don't think that it's going to be a problem tomorrow.
I haven't been hurt that much in the last couple years. Yeah, I don't feel like anybody plays better when they're hurting.

Q. It seems like against Roger now you're playing on your terms. You're pretty much in control of the entire match if you're playing at your top level, which is a pretty tough thing to do against him. Talk a little bit about that.
ANDY MURRAY: Yeah. Well, the one thing I tried to explain to a few people, like a year or so ago, is that, you know, people say, Oh, you play very defensively. You didn't hit the ball particularly hard all the time, or whatnot. You lose a lot of the matches by letting guys sort of dictate the points.
But you know, trying to explain that there's more than one way of dictating points. It's not just going for big, booming serves all the time and huge forehands. If you change the pace with the ball a lot, you know, and mix it up, you know, makes your guy -- I'm playing the match how I want it to go.
If I started trading big groundstrokes with someone like Federer, I think he likes that. I haven't done it against him, and I don't do it against many people. That's my game style. Very rarely do I lose matches having let the other guy play his natural game.

Q. There was a lot of anticipation toward a Federer/Nadal final. How does it feel to ruin those plans?
ANDY MURRAY: Doesn't really bother me, to be honest. Every time I play Roger I feel like I got a shot to win.
You know, I'm sure a lot of people would like to see Roddick in that final now. Maybe I definitely wasn't thinking about that during the match.

Q. Are you still practicing Bikram yoga, and how much do you attribute your fitness and focus to this?
ANDY MURRAY: I did it in the off-season quite a lot. I don't do it that much throughout the year, because you get very dehydrated doing it. It's very hot, so you need to make sure that going in, you're hydrated.
When you come out, it takes, you know, two, three hours before you're feeling normal again. So I do it a little bit in the off-season when I have time to recover and whatnot. But I don't do it that much during the year.

Q. That's six times out of eight you've gotten a piece of Roger. How would you rate your all-round performance today?
ANDY MURRAY: I mean, it was good. I lost my concentration a bit at the start of the second set. You know, managed to get myself back into the match -- into the second set, sorry. It was good. I don't think I did anything incredible, but that wasn't what I was trying to do when I went in to play the match.

Q. Can you talk about playing the finals tomorrow and facing either Andy or Rafa?
ANDY MURRAY: Both are obviously very tough. Rafa won the first set, but -- I mean, Roddick has always been very tough in the States.
He loves playing in front of his home crowd, and it will be obviously tough against him. I've got a good record.
Nadal, I've started to play better against him lately, but he's obviously one of the toughest players ever. I have to play some of my best tennis.

Q. When you were a kid, were you the fastest kid in your school?
ANDY MURRAY: In a straight line, no. (Laughter.) But, I mean, since I played tennis, that was one of the things that I've always done very well, is have good anticipation and felt like I could chase a lot of balls down. That's just gotten better now that I've got stronger. Like over 100 meters I'm okay; not great.

Q. Federer had a reputation for being very strong in third sets. You've taken him four times. His level was going up and down quite a lot today. Were you surprised to see that?
ANDY MURRAY: No. I mean, like I said, it depends. As long as I'm sort of playing the match on my terms and I'm sort of getting the ball in the position that I want to get it in and making him play difficult shots, then not really.
I mean, he missed a couple backhands early in the second set. Then he started trying to hit forehands from way in the, you know, into the advantage side of the court.
He was running around a lot and playing very sort of low-percentage shots. When you do that, you're going to make mistakes.

Federer "old" in loss to Murray
3/22/09 6:05 AM | Ricky Dimon

Roger Federer referred to himself as "old" following his semifinal loss to Andy Murray at the Masters Series Indian Wells on Saturday. Murray advances to play Rafael Nadal.

Andy Murray beat Roger Federer for the fourth straight time on Saturday afternoon, prevailing 6-3, 4-6, 6-1 in the semifinals of the BNP Paribas Open. Federer's third-set meltdown invoked memories of the 2009 Australian Open final, in which the world No. 2 fell to Rafael Nadal 6-2 in the fifth set.

Whereas Federer broke down in tears following that epic encounter, this time the Swiss composed himself and did his best to explain the loss to Murray, against whom he is now 2-6.

“I’m old, he’s young," noted Federer, six years Murray's elder at 27. "Makes a huge difference."

Federer went on to use the term "shocking" in describing his third-set performance. "I think in the last few matches I always felt Andy came on strong as the match went on. This time was different. I think I played well in the second, forced the issue a bit more, and then I played a shocking third set."

The 13-time Grand Slam champion, however, made sure to give credit to Murray for seizing victory. "He played unbelievable in the end," Federer said. "He’s a great counter-puncher and reads the game really well. He has great feel. So he’s very confident at the moment. You can tell, the way he plays. He knows he doesn’t have to play close to the lines because he can cover the court really well. I think that calms him down mentally. I think that is why he’s playing so well."

Murray will take on Nadal, a straight-set winner over Andy Roddick, in Sunday's Indian Wells title match. Federer now moves on to Miami, where he was upset by Roddick in last year's quarterfinals.

Minor scare for Murray prior to Nadal clash
3/22/09 6:19 AM | Ricky Dimon

Andy Murray went down awkwardly during his Indian Wells semifinal win over Roger Federer on Saturday, but he looks good to go for the title match against Rafael Nadal.

Andy Murray appeared to survive a possible injury on Saturday when he took an awkward fall during his 6-3, 4-6, 6-1 semifinal win over Roger Federer at the Masters Series Indian Wells. The world No. 4 said he has been having problems with his left groin, and he appeared to aggravate it when he fell in the fourth game of the third set.

"I got a little bit scared at first," Murray admitted. "Then, once I got up and ran around after a couple points, I knew that it felt okay. It feels fine just now.

"It was sore when I fell over and then after a couple of points it felt okay," added the Scot, who did not lose another game the rest of the way. "I'll have to wait and see once the adrenaline wears off and I cool down."

Federer was also concerned, if only for a moment. "I was worried for him; he went down badly," Federer explained of his opponent. "I was happy to see that he got back up. That was good that he's not injured."

Murray is set to do battle with Rafael Nadal in the BNP Paribas Open title match on Sunday afternoon. They recently contested an injury-plagued final in Rotterdam, where Murray was dealing with an ankle problem and Nadal had his knee flare up again. Murray prevailed in three sets.

R. NADAL/A. Murray

6 1, 6 2

An interview with:

ANDY MURRAY

THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.

Q. Goes without saying that it was a bit of a brutal day to play tennis, wasn't it?
ANDY MURRAY: Yeah, it was tough. You know, I haven't played in conditions as windy as that for quite a long time.
Rafa dealt with it very well. You know, he hit the ball cleaner and just, yeah, seemed to get himself in better positions than I did.
Then you don't necessarily want to be doing a whole lot of defending and running. You want to be in the best position possible to hit each ball, and I wasn't. That's why he managed to dictate most of the points.

Q. As Nadal's peer and someone who has beaten him before, detail what it is that makes him so difficult to play.
ANDY MURRAY: I mean, when I played him in the past, he's obviously an incredibly tough player. The thing I always felt when I played him was that you get a chance to play your game, because he does play with a lot of topspin.
You know, early on in the rally the ball sort of comes up to a nice height, and you can move the ball around. He moves very well, and he's got a big forehand, obviously, and he competes great. He's improved the rest of his game. He's using a bit more slice and coming to the net a little bit. His backhand has become a better shot.
So he does everything quite well. It's not one thing in particular.

Q. You said at the beginning of the tournament you didn't expect to do very well here, considering your illness before. Are you pleasantly surprised with the way the tournament went?
ANDY MURRAY: Yeah. I mean, I don't feel like I'm that disappointed just now with how the week went, because I wasn't expecting, like you said, to do that well. I obviously had some very good wins.
You know, I got a lot of the matches that I wasn't necessarily expecting. So going into Miami I'm going to be better prepared than I thought.
You know, obviously today was not my best day, but I'll definitely get over it, because, you know, I'm guessing, you know, I'm not going to play in those conditions, you know, each week.

Q. You took a spill yesterday. Was there any lingering...
ANDY MURRAY: No. My groin feels fine. I don't think that was anything to do with the outcome of the match. I'll definitely be okay for Miami.

Murray optimistic despite Indian Wells beat-down
3/23/09 9:02 AM | Johan Lindahl

Andy Murray won't let a comprehensive loss to Rafael Nadal in the Indian Wells final derail him from his winning mission in Miami.

The world No. 4 will be returning to Florida for the second time in four months after devoting four weeks of his off-season to working on fitness in the subtropical heat.

Murray is looking forward to proving himself again on hard courts at an event where his best showing was a 2007 semifinal.

"I don't feel like I'm that disappointed just now with how the week went, because I wasn't expecting to do that well," said Murray, who was down with a virus the week before Indian Wells.

"I obviously had some very good wins. I got a lot of the matches that I wasn't necessarily expecting. So going into Miami I'm going to be better prepared than I thought."

Из статьи Юлии Ниткиной "Новые чемпионы и повторение пройденного" (Sports.ru)

quote:

О причинах того, почему Мюррей стал так опасен для Федерера, мнения экспертов расходятся. Бодо считает, что причина именно в некоторой схожести их игровых стилей: «Когда вы смотрите на великолепные теннисные навыки Федерера, его опыт, его талант бойца, вы задаетесь вопросом – почему же у него возникают такие проблемы с Мюрреем. Моя теория состоит в том, что Мюррей как бы приводит в замешательство и раздражает Федерера тем, что покушается на территорию, которую все – и особенно Надаль – считает принадлежащей Федереру. Потому что игра Мюррея кажется немного волшебной. Она артистична и непредсказуема. Мюррей, возможно, не умеет двигаться и махать ракеткой так легко и без видимых усилий, как Федерер, но он очень часто так же приводит оппонентов в замешательство разнообразием и искусностью своих ударов». Стив Тиньор же, напротив, считает, что в чем-то Мюррей ближе к Надалю, чем к Федереру: «Шотландец, с его высокой скоростью, интуицией и высокой способностью принимать разнообразные удары, не нуждается в том, чтобы так же ходить по высоко натянутой проволоке, как Федерер. Его талант, заключающийся в том, чтобы понизить игру, приземлить ее, делает эффектность бесполезной. Мюррей провел большую часть третьего сета выполняя скучные резаные удары и неуверенные свечки и при этом демонстрировал вещи в десять раз лучше – косой форхенд крюком и бэкхенд по линии – только, когда Федерер выходил к сетке. Это была тактика предложенная Мухаммедом Али 35 лет назад – он позволял оппоненту бить себя, пока тот не устанет, потом наносил один нокаутирующий удар. Как и Али, Мюррей, кстати, большой поклонник великого боксера, знает, что это атакующая тактика, замаскированная под защитную. И с самого начала пресс-конференции он хотел, чтобы все поняли – это он выиграл матч, а не Федерер проиграл. Мюррей закончил утверждением, которое я никогда прежде не слышал ни от одного игрока – что Федерер не играл в умный теннис. «Он много бегал», – сказал Мюррей, – «И выполнял много рискованных ударов. Когда ты делаешь это, ты непременно ошибешься». Он не испытывает трепета перед Федерером, никаких привычных мантр, типа «неважно, как он сегодня играл, он все равно самый великий игрок в истории». Ничего подобного, просто недоуменное пожимание плечами, которым Мюррей говорил нам: «Это был мой план, что вас так удивляет?» По словам Мюррея существует больше, чем один способ диктовать розыгрыш. Существует больше, чем один способ выиграть борьбу. Существует больше, чем один способ для теннисного художника, чтобы нарисовать матч».

Тиньор что-то загнул про схожесть скотта с Рафой. они похожи как слон на апельсин. Полностью согласна с Бодо.

Тьфу млин, зачем всех сравнивать и обряжать в воротнички?
Они ваще разные, я бы даже сказала, противоположнче по всему. Если только говорить о дифенсив стайл, да и то, Рафа уже давно нападающий так что я тоже за Бодо, он рулит

А вот это, на мой взгляд, передёргивание какое-то:

Уж только ленивый не знает, как Марри боготворит Федерера, но при этом почему он должен непременно на каждой ПК им восхищаться, особенно, если выиграл матч? Или если он этого не сказал, то можно считать, что скотт кинул в него поганую тряпку чтоль?


Вообще, почитала ПК скотта, всё-таки он фанат игры, так всё складно рассказывает и о тонкостях любит потрындеть, праильно, пишущую братию тоже надо образовывать Ыыы

Винус Уильямс и Энди Мюррей провели матч на крыше внедорожников
24.03.2009 15:05

Начало турнира Sony Ericsson Open-2009 было ознаменовано "Теннисом в автомобильной пробке": ведущие мировые теннисисты Винус Уильямс и Энди Мюррей провели матч, стоя на крышах машин, застрявших в пробке на Ocean Drive, Майами. Декорацией к матчу стали дома квартала Арт Деко в районе South Beach, и все зрители были поражены игрой в теннис в этом совершенно неожиданном месте. Для этого трюка использовались два модифицированных внедорожника, на крышах которых были смонтированы платформы и закреплены ремни безопасности.

"Sony Ericsson Open – это один из самых зрелищных и гламурных турниров в спортивном календаре. И не только благодаря месту проведения, но и мероприятиям, которые сопровождают турнир: теннис перемещается за пределы корта, и это усиливает эффект", – заявила Винус Уильямс.

"Я всегда с нетерпением жду приезда в Майами и участия в Sony Ericsson Open. Это один из самых увлекательных турниров в спортивном календаре, и подобные мероприятия позволяют привлечь огромное внимание к нашему виду спорта", – приводит слова Мюррея пресс-релиз Sony Ericsson Open.

Стихийное бедствие Света
перестала обращать внимание на "переводы" высказываний, в оригинале либо совсем иначе, либо чуть иначе, но крайне редко именно так, как вещалось и произносилось... эта особенность краткости англ. по ср. с рос. дает свои "плоды, цветочки и ягодки" в виде недопонимания (в лучшем случае)

вдогонку - Бодо менее радикален по ср. с Тиньором, посл. иногда как скажет, как в детстве говорили, как в лужу...

вроде он прогнозировал поганке глубокую черную депрессию в случае невыигрыша АО (мда, много у нас осталось на тех площадках)

да я давно перестала вообще переводы воспринимать с цитатами игроков и читаю давно уже все на англицком.
