Karim terima kasih sbb ambil bahagian dalam tournament hari tu. Doublespairing ko pon nampak bagus, too bad jumpa semifinalist dan aku plaktonggek kat Champion, frust sbb kami dah leading 5-2 pastu depa kuncidekat 5 jer ^*&^(*&^%

Mental strength takdak.. Tengah leading 8-7 dan serving for the match.. tapi tak boleh hold serve. Macammana pun, kami enjoy... At least Annual Leaves untuk 08 dapat dihabiskan dengan benda berfaedah. Dan paling penting, Kedah Close tu tak macam tournament sangat pun, macam family day ade lah.. Tenguk mood semua orang enjoy saja.. Takdak tense sangat.

Djokovic, Ivanovic jadi pilihan tawan Brisbane


IVANOVIC (kanan) dan DJOKOVIC


BRISBANE, Australia - Juara Terbuka Australia, Novak Djokovic serta bekas pemain wanita No. 1 dunia, Ana Ivanovic bakal mengetuai cabaran pada Kejohanan Tenis Antarabangsa Brisbane yang akan membuka tirainya esok.

Kedua-dua pemain kelahiran Serbia itu diletakkan selaku pilihan pertama kejohanan tersebut yang akan berlangsung di Pusat Tenis Queensland.

Djokovic yang juga pemain lelaki No. 3 dunia meraih gelaran Grand Slam pertama dalam kariernya tahun lalu apabila muncul juara Terbuka Australia.

Dia menutup musim 2008 dengan penuh bergaya apabila ditabalkan juara kejohanan akhir musim, Piala Masters di Shanghai.

Djokovic kini hanya ketinggalan 10 mata di belakang bekas pemain No. 1 dunia, Roger Federer yang berada di tangga kedua di belakang bintang Sepanyol, Rafael Nadal.

Kejohanan ini dianggap medan pemanas badan buat Djokovic sebagai persiapan mempertahan gelaran Terbuka Australia yang akan berlangsung hujung bulan ini.

Pada kejohanan kali ini, Djokovic dijangka menerima tentangan daripada pemain Perancis, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, pemain yang ditewaskannya pada perlawanan akhir Terbuka Australia tahun lalu.

Selain Tsonga, Perancis turut menampilkan beberapa pemain utamanya seperti Richard Gasquet, Paul-Henri Mathieu, Michael Llodra dan Julien Benneteau.

Untuk rekod, Tsonga pernah menewaskan Djokovic sebanyak tiga kali sejak kekalahannya kepada bintang Serbia itu pada Terbuka Australia tahun lalu.

Kini dia yakin mampu mengulangi rentak kemenangan ke atas Djokovic.

"Bagi saya, ia sesuatu yang menyedihkan apabila tewas kepada Novak pada perlawanan akhir (Terbuka Australia).

"Jadi, kekalahan itu memberi saya motivasi dan kini saya harap mampu sekali lagi menewaskannya," kata Tsonga.

Sementara itu, juara Terbuka Perancis, Ivanovic dijangka tidak berdepan masalah besar untuk muncul juara.

Bagaimanapun, halangan paling getir buat pemain No. 5 dunia itu apabila dijadualkan menentang pilihan keempat, Daniela Hantuchova dari Slovakia.

Hantuchova berkata, keadaan cuaca panas di Brisbane akan dapat membantunya membuat persiapan menghadapi Terbuka Australia. - AFP

Venus belum mahu bersara

HONG KONG - Biarpun menyaksikan ramai pencabar utamanya menggantungkan reket mereka kebelakangan ini, juara Grand Slam lima kali, Venus Williams masih mempunyai banyak sasaran untuk dicapai dalam tenis.

"Saya sukakan kerja saya. Saya suka memukul bola, berlari, melompat, mengejar bola itu. Saya sukakan apa yang saya buat, jadi itu yang menjadi perangsang saya," kata pemain Amerika Syarikat berusia 28 tahun itu di Hong Kong, semalam, menjelang satu kejohanan pertunjukan pemanas badan, Terbuka Australia.

Ketika ramai pemain seangkatannya seperti Justin Henin dan Kim Clijsters dari Belgium dan Martina Hingis dari Switzerland meninggalkan Jelajah Persatuan Tenis Wanita (WTA), kakak adik beradik Williams ini turut berasa masih laparkan lebih kejayaan.

Williams memenangi Wimbledon lima kali dan dua Terbuka Amerika Syarikat tetapi kurang berjaya pada dua lagi Grand Slam, mara ke perlawanan akhir Terbuka Perancis 2002 dan Terbuka Australia 2003.

"Saya tidak pernah memenangi Terbuka Perancis atau Australia walaupun saya hampir meraihnya, jadi kejohanan itu memang dalam senarai saya," kata Williams yang menambah bahawa merebut semula ranking Nombor 1 tahun ini sebagai satu sasaran realistiknya.

Pemain nombor enam dunia yang menikmati satu musim yang kuat tahun lalu dengan kemenangan di Wimbledon dan Kejohanan WTA penamat musim di Doha, Qatar, berkata, dia berasa sihat selepas bercuti empat minggu tanpa tenis.

"Tiada apa yang mahu dirungutkan ketika ini," kata Williams.

Pemain Amerika itu bermain di Hong Kong yang bermula hari ini sebagai satu-satunya persediaan bagi Terbuka Australia yang bermula pada 19 Januari.

Dia mengetuai Amerika dalam format berpasukan kejohanan itu yang turut menampilkan pemain nombor 1 dunia dari Serbia, Jelena Jankovic, Vera Zvonareva dan Anna Chakvetadze dari Rusia, pemain Hungary, Agnes Szavay; Zheng Jie dari China dan Sania Mirza dari India.

Williams turut berkata, dia akan menggunakan peraturan baru Jelajah WTA yang membenarkan jurulatih di gelanggang mulai tahun depan sekali-sekala.

"Saya mungkin memanggil jurulatih jika lawan saya melakukannya. Saya akan memerhati apa yang dilakukannya," katanya.

Qatar Open...

Fed def Starace 6-2, 6-2...semalam live kat astro

Ok gak game dia, x banyak unforced error, movement agak slow tp ada perubahan dr segi game plan. Antara yang ketara ada returned of serve, dia returned serve awal berbanding sebelomnya.

Nadal/Lopez doubles..........ada perubahan dr segi pakaian hahaha. Seluar makin pendek, kain kat baju makin banyak, dr pengamatan saya, dia amek kain lebihan sluar labuh tahun lepas tampal kat lengan baju baru dia

Frankly...Nadal nampak funny maybe pandangan kita terhadap awal dia tahun ni, sok sok ok la kot

Understanding The New ATP Tour

The 2009 ATP World Tour promises to be an exciting season of men's tennis with familiar faces leading the way and a number of young, up-and-coming players looking to join the game's elite. The changes have been introduced to create a healthier schedule for players and to make the sport easier to follow for fans with continued growth. A number of improvements have been implemented and here's a look at some of them:

* New Structure: New tiers of tournaments have been created -- ATP World Tour Masters 1000, ATP World Tour 500 and ATP World Tour 250 -- leading to the season-ending Barclays ATP World Tour Finals in London where the ATP World Tour Champion will be officially crowned. The number represents the points awarded to the winner in each respective tournament.

* Tour Calendar: The ATP World Tour will feature 63 tournaments in 31 countries with the following breakdown of tiers -- Nine ATP World Tour Masters 1000 events, 11 ATP World Tour 500 events and 39 ATP World Tour 250 events.

* Net Branding: At each of the different level of tournaments, fans will recognize the level of event as indicated by the net branding on court.

* Promotion: An enhanced TV package and web streaming proposition of ATP World Tour Masters 1000s, 500s and other key regional tournaments will allow fans to follow their favorite players from week to week around the globe. The multi-million dollar ATP advertising campaign, FEEL IT, will assist tournaments in promotion of the sport.

* Player Requirements: In 2009, players in the 2008 year-end Top 30 will be required to compete in four Grand Slam tournaments and eight ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournaments. In addition, the Best four ATP World Tour 500 and Best two other events (ATP World Tour 250 and Challengers) will be counted towards a player's ranking. All direct acceptance players at the time of the entry deadline who do not play will receive a 0-pointer in their ranking.

* Bonus Pool: A $6 million bonus pool for the Top 12 players in the South African Airways 2009 ATP Rankings will be awarded based on fulfilling their commitment. The season will also feature a 20% increase in player compensation and a profit sharing model that will for the first time invite players to share in the sport抯 growth.

* Facility Improvements: The largest ever facility investment of $800 million, including new stadia in Brisbane, Madrid, Shanghai, Valencia and Paris will be made in 2009. In addition, upgrades in Cincinnati, Rome, Acapulco, Rotterdam and Montreal deliver world class facilities.

* Tour Swings: The 2009 ATP World Tour calendar will also offer several cohesive swings within the full season. Each of these swings builds to a mini-crescendo along the way to the season抯 grand finale in London. Improvements to the calendar include an uninterrupted European clay season, with a new ATP World Tour 1000 Masters event in Madrid (moving from indoor to clay). In addition, a revamped Asian swing in the fall leads to a new ATP World Tour Masters 1000 event in Shanghai.

Facts About New Ranking Structure & Formula in 2009

n 2009, any player who finished in the 2008 year-end Top 30 will be required to compete in four Grand Slam tournaments and eight ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournaments. In addition, the Best 4 ATP World Tour 500 and Best 2 other events (ATP World Tour 250 and Challengers) will be counted towards a player's ranking. All direct acceptance players at the time of the entry deadline who do not play will receive a 0-pointer in their ranking.

A player who is out of competition for 30 or more days, due to a verified injury, will not receive any penalties. For other players outside the Top 30, the ranking structure that applies, IF QUALIFIED, will be four Grand Slam tournaments and eight ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournaments. The Best 6 with up to 4 ATP World Tour 500 results will also be counted towards the ranking. If a player is not a Direct Acceptance and did not play a Grand Slam or Masters 1000 tournament, he can substitute with ATP World Tour 250 and/or Challengers. The eight players who qualify for the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals will count an additional 19th tournament on their ranking.

p/s bagi saya sedikit masa nak pahami new structure ni. Kalau saya dah faham bolehlah kita share.
