Nochmal zum Belag: Es ist doch sowieso nicht nur der Belag. Die Bälle und die Luftverhältnisse (outdoor Höhenlage) usw sind eben auch entscheidend. Cincy und USO waren heuer wohl sogar gleich schnell, aber die Bälle waren es, die das Spiel in Cincy nochmals schneller gemacht haben
Ich bin also was das Gesamtpaket in der O2 angeht, Paris ebenso, recht zufrieden. Federer entscheidet, wer als Sieger vom Platz geht. Its on his racket, maddafakkas!
Zitat von Darth Roger im Beitrag #369Roger hatte heute leider so gut wie keine Beinarbeit. Trainingsrückstand?
Der Belag in der O2 war im letzten Jahr ein Witz. Ich will hoffen, dass das heuer wieder anders aussehen wird.
das CPR von cincy werden die wohl nie mehr draufpacken, aber der bounce 2014 war wirklich abartig. wie gummibälle...
Was interessiert mich jetzt ne Herz-Lungen-Wiederbelebung??
hast du nicht oder willst du das jetzt nicht verstehen, darth? ich kann den emotionalen stress nach der niederlage von fed heute ja durchaus nachvollziehen...
Zitat"If you still have one more point to play, no matter what the score is, you still got a chance to make a difference in your favour."
“I definitely thought of last year's match,” said Federer. “But at the same time it was a completely different match. Playing a lefty maybe also had something to do with it. Who knows? Albert was doing a good job of trying to stay on the offensive as well as I was trying to do the same. There were some good rallies there. “I had my chances. I just couldn't make it today. I’ve got to look into it. But at the end of the day this can happen during the year. Unfortunately, here in Shanghai where I was defending champion, I was really hoping again to play a great tournament. “I just think the first round here in Shanghai has always been historically quite difficult, getting used to the conditions and the surface and the balls. The balls play very different than in other places. Last year I got lucky. This year I didn't. So it's a pity.” “I'm always cautious,” said Federer, who had lost just three games in his one previous meeting with Ramos-Vinolas at Wimbledon three years ago. “I don't underestimate or lack respect for anybody out there. These guys are all touring professionals, they know what they're doing. The margins are so small. “I played him at Wimbledon before, so I knew him. I've seen him play. He's definitely improved since then. That was a while back and that was not his favourite surface. I was aware that he could give me a tough workout and even beat me.”

Federer ist ja immer so ein schlechter Verlierer.
Muss natürlich GOATmos loben, alles andere wäre ja nur noch peinlicher. Insgesamt war ich sehr zufrieden wieder den passiven, abwartenden Federer zu sehen. Oft lies er sich in der rally zürückfallen und reagierte nur. Ramos hat teilweise das Spiel diktiert. Haha, Ramos ist normalerweise eher der Pushertyp, der einfach zurückschaufelt. Federer war auf jeden Fall nicht geladen, kein Vergleich zu Cinci und den USO. Court wirkte zügig, aber nicht megaschnell. 1000 Punkte weg. Damit steht wohl fest, dass er spätestens seit heute nie wieder die Nummer 1 werden kann.
