"I also don't understand why Novak didn't play that day", Federer.

Federer: 'I also didn't quite understand why Novak didn't play that day to be honest.'

Federer: 'There's a lot of players but there's a lot of demand from TV and sponsors. All sorts of things are going on behind closed doors.'

Tekst je brutalno dobar. Steta sto lik retko pise o tenisu. Njegov tekst o finalu AO-a 2012 je jedan od boljih tekstova kojih sam procitao, a da je tenis related.

This image of Novak Djokovic, taken by Jed Leicester on July 10, 2015, is awesome on many levels. There’s the incredible athleticism of Djokovic’s lunge, the way the surreally balletic pose is captured mid-air, the stunning layering of player, racket and ball with their counterpart shadows.

“This is one of the best pictures from 2015,” says Bob. “It’s a great shot looking down on Centre Court on to the player, which gives you grass as the iconic Wimbledon backdrop. It’s a classic action shot, but what’s truly fantastic about it is the way the interesting elements of the picture stack up: racket, ball, shadow racket, shadow ball. It’s a picture that invites you in. What’s happening? He can’t get to the ball… so he’s ended up throwing his racket at it?”

Jed Leicester recalls the day well. The occasion was the semi-final when Djokovic, the defending champion, was playing the No.21 seed Richard Gasquet of France for the chance to face seven-times champion Roger Federer in the final. This was Djokovic’s annus mirabilis, when the Serb became only the fourth man in history to reach the final of all four majors; the 2015 Novak Djokovic tennis season is generally considered one of the greatest of all time boasting a Wikipedia entry of its own.

“A picture from this match was only ever going to be one of Djokovic, who was on a massive hot streak that year,” says Jed. “I had focused 90 per cent of the match on him. It was either going to be a win and a ‘hooray’ picture or a loss and his head in his hands. But with Djokovic, you know that at some point he’s going to launch himself or do the splits. It’s a sign that he’s fired up. In terms of players throwing themselves around, my favourite is Gael Monfils, followed closely by Djokovic, Dominic Thiem, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, and Dustin Brown for air and hair. For me, a dive beats the splits, but it’s a close thing. These moments come like lightning. Ordinarily you don’t aim at a player with his back to you, but he happened to scramble and lunge and then in desperation threw his racket at the ball.”

The photograph was taken at 3.22pm. “The key thing is the shadow of the ball and racket - without it, this image would be unfinished. The best thing about it is that the shadow is so perfectly racket-shaped. It was a bit of luck that he dived at all, and that he dived when the afternoon sun was at this angle. Centre Court light goes at about quarter to six in the evening.”

This image has not been cropped. Jed talks about luck but anticipation played a huge part in capturing this image, too. “Normally I set the focus on the player, but if I had done that, he would have dived out of the picture and I’d have inadvertently cut out the shadow, so I set the focus point to the side of Djokovic.”

Tacno ova slika najbolje opisuje Novakove muke trenutne iako je iz sasvim drugacijeg perioda. Ni s reketom niti s lopticom da se sastavi. Ali bice to ok. 

Ali da je spektakularno uhvacena...jeste!

Sad premotavam film, i ne mogu da se otmem utisku da je Djokovic donirao u humanitarne svrhe 3 Slema, pa mozda cak i 4.. USO 2012, RG 2013, W 2013, USO 2016.

[NMX]

+ USO 2014

 

Inace taj RG2013 nikada ali nikada necu prezaliti, jbg

[Elias]

Jedini greh in my book su mu USO 2014 i USO 2016. Posebno USO 2016. Izgubiti od tenisera poput Wawrinke tri slema je nedopustivo za legendu ovog sporta kao sto je Djokovic

[steva8lfc]

Inace taj RG2013 nikada ali nikada necu prezaliti, jbg

 

 

Druze, pa tu nije ni igrao finale... sta ima da zalis

[NMX]

Druze, pa tu nije ni igrao finale... sta ima da zalis

nije ni uso 2014 pa se zalim

 

jasno je da bi uzeo oba da je prosao...

[4_Webber]

Eh, pa ako je prokockao USO 2014, onda je i AO 2014. protivnici bi mu bili Berdih i Rafa koji je igrao na jednoj nozi...

[4_Webber]

A USO 2014. je prokockao samo teoretski, jer bi kao trebalo da dobije Nisikorija, ali nije imao sanse jer je bio ocajan... U svim ovim mecevima je imao sanse, pa cak i protiv Mareja kada je izgubio 3:0, lik je ispustio 4:1 u drugom i 4:2 u trecem, pritom je u trecem bio u seriji od 4 dobijena gema uzastopno...

[NMX]

Jbg, bilo je za ocekivati da iz uz losu igru tradicionalno razmontira Keia posle 6:1 u drugom setu. I onda TB koji gubi lagano i lagan kraj u 4 seta. Marina tada bi dobijao sve i da igra levom rukom.

 

Ne znam, mene je taj uso14 bas razocarao, posebno sto sam znao da bi i Feda i Marina pocistio u finalu.
