ИМХО, Рафа хотел снять с себя напряжение фаворита турнира. Он не хотел показывать что он фаворит даже в выставочном матче.

Уж простите меня.... я всё могу понять, но что значит этот розовый сайт Рафы? Они что подурели там?

Если бы смогла сейчас поехать на турнир, точно бы подошла к Бенито и высказала свое фииииииииииииии. Интересно чем бы он аргументировал этот факт.

Что они делают с Рафы? какого-то сопливого мальчика? он же взрослый мужчина!!!

Юль, Найк - просто давным-давно потерял совесть, вот и все... Как только Рафа дал на это согласие?!, ощущение такое, что его и спрашивать не стали... Черный был как-то через чур, но это... Новый фасон сайта, мягким словом, идет вразрез характеру и стилю Рафы. Ведь Рафаэль Надаль это не только цвет футболки, которая на нем одета... Надежда, что по окончанию РГ (или хотя бы момента, когда Рафа оденет что-нибудь другое) они пересмотрят его внешний вид...
...такого сайта, я, например, не видела ни одного...

Не думаю, что Рафа уступил 109й (!!!) ракетке мира с какой то целью, этот матч просто надо увидеть, и тогда все станет ясно...
Я, честно говоря, слегка шокирована этой новостью...

мозги потерял Найк, я долго их не критиковала, но этот сайт поверг меня в ужас. Я просто не понимаю. что же они этим розовым цветом хотят показать. Мне каежтся что если даже Рафа будет носить каждый день розовую форму, всё равно, парни не будут ее покупать, Найк не сможет заработать на этом, клиенты не такие глупые как им кажется.

А Бенито ведь по идее должен смотреть за имеджем Рафы, интересно в какую пользу играет этот розовый сайт....способствует интересному имиджу....

Сегодня на РГ (это многолетняя традиция) проходит так называемый день "Benny Berthet", когда теннисисты в тренировочном режиме играют показательные матчи или сеты на 3-х основных кортах. На это мероприятие продаются дешевые билеты, поэтому зрителей приходит очень много. Доходы от билетов идут в несколько благотворительных фондов, которые являются партнерами турнира на Ролан Гаррос.

quote:

King of clay suffers first defeat For the first time ever, Rafael Nadal has been defeated here at Roland Garros! Before the rest of the men’s draw get too excited however, it should be pointed out that his loss came as part of the traditional "Benny Berthet" charity exhibition matches. Rafa went down 7-5 to Argentina’s Brian Dabul on Philippe Chatrier court in a single-set encounter, with the brief shower which made the court slippery towards the end perhaps seeing Nadal decide that discretion was the better part of valour. Various exhibition matches were played throughout the day on Philippe Chatrier, Suzanne Lenglen and No1 courts, with the proceeds going to five charities which are partners of the event. Despite the overcast weather, there was a good turn-out with fans enjoying some spectacular tennis, including appearances from local favourites Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Fabrice Santoro amongst others. http://www.rolandgarros.com/en_FR/news/ ... 85000.html

Кстати, Рафа почему-то очень часто на тренировках проигрывает сеты, играемые на счет, причем часто спаррингам заметно слабее себя.

Сегодня по НТВ+ была передача, посвященная началу РГ. Ведущие - А. Дмитриева и Е. Кафельников. Женя снова сказал, что Рафа симпатичен ему больше всех, что он всё больше и больше начинает потрясаться его результатами и что не верит, что на РГ его может кто-то обыграть. Обсуждая сетку, Женя сказал, что первая неделя у Рафы будет тренировочная. Когда в конце передачи АД спросила, на кого делать ставки, Женя сказал, что все, что у него есть, он бы поставил на Надаля.
Были вопросы по телефону. Один из звонивших спросил о перспективах Надаля выиграть БШ. Женя ответил, что уж если Агасси считает Рафу единственным игроком, способным это сделать, то о чем тут говорить. Хотя сделать это неимоверно сложно в современном теннисе. Но если Рафа возьмет РГ и Уим, то на ЮСО у него будет запредельная мотивация.
Еще задали вопрос о том, что современные топ-игроки не играют пару. А вот Женя в 1996 г. выиграл РГ и в одиночном, и в парном разряде. До него это удавалось Розуоллу в 1968 г. (если ничего не напутала), после него - никому. Женя ответил: вот если бы Надаль больше играл в паре, то его игра была бы еще интересней.
В общем, кто о ком, а Женя - только о Рафе

Ángel Ruiz Cotorro - Doctor to tennis players

The doctor sets up his surgery every year at Roland Garros where he doesn't just cosset Rafa Nadal but all the (Spanish) players on the tour.


"What makes Nadal number one in the world is his mental strength"

Interviewed by Emilio Pérez de Rozas
Translated by nou.amic for http://www.vamosbrigade.com

He was good at tennis but they say his son Alvaro, aged 10, is even better. Ángel Ruiz Cotorro (Santander 1958), who also has three other children, Ana (20), Ángel (17) and Paula (14), preferred to become a doctor, the best tennis doctor in the world. In November he will be organising the 'Congress of Tennis Medicine' with 400 specialists from all over the world. He has just set up the 'Mapfre Tennis Medicine Centre' at the CIMA Clinic in Barcelona. He fears for tennis players' hips and because of this has created a scholarship for the study of new pathologies.

To give you an idea of what kind of interview this is, although I know you are going to deny it immediately, I am one of those who are convinced that without you these boys of ours wouldn't have won the half of the victories and titles they have.
.- I don't have to deny that, you know as well as I do that it's not true. I haven't won a single one of those titles. But, yes, I've lived through them and enjoyed them like the players and, of course, when they have occurred I've felt the happiest man in the world and privileged, yes a privileged person. Yes, in my status as doctor, as a component of a team, a spectator with a front row seat, I've enjoyed them, I enjoy them, as much or more than they have.

Tell me, what are they like?
.- They are very young, which many people don't seem to realise. They are sportsmen and, on top of that, they form part of the elite of their sport. Because of that they live at a pace and under a pressure that isn't normal at their age. Their childhood and their youth fly past almost without them realising it. They live at an acclerated pace. They are very special people, very special, as otherwise they wouldn't be able to get where they have reached. They would like to be able to enjoy the same things as other young people of their age, but they can't. Many of those things are prohibited to them. Their spare time is not organized, they have to steal it from their daily activities. They have to live their youth with many things that don't correspond to their age.

You are doctor to all of them so, if you say that, it's because you know how hard a tennis player's life is.
.- Nobody can imagine what it is like. I'm not aiming to measure how tough it is. Moreover, I'm not saying there are not sports that are as hard or even tougher than tennis. The result is that they feel the need to surround themselves with people they trust, to feel they're protected, feel comfortable and, above all, be strong on court, where they are absolutely on their own.

And out there on court, alone in the face of danger, the strongest always wins.
.- The strongest mentally. At the very top of the pyramid, they are all very good physically and technically, all of them. What makes the difference between being good, very good or extraordinary, almost unique, is mental strength, which is very closely connected to the character of each one, and his ambition, and there, my friend, Rafa Nadal is unique. At the crucial moments, and there are heaps of moments like that in each match, in every final, it's his mental strength that makes the difference and makes him the number one.

It makes one think that the life these youngsters lead is admirable and just thinking of it produces a kind of vertigo.
.- There's no doubt that these boys are at full stretch but the whole tour have demands put on them that stretch them to the limit. Rafa has been leader of the world rankings for five years, it doesn't matter whether you're number one or number two for that. As you can imagine, all that time and that pressure causes the organism, which is a perfect computer, to end up causing something in the body to break down. Why? Because the body keeps 'plugging all the holes', but, in the end, this leads to a breakdown in one's defences which ends up manifesting itself somewhere: in fever, a slight infection, an untimely catarrh, flu, some kind of sprain. And, yes, that's when I think my presence is important because they trust me, they trust us. They are not just looking for our advice or diagnosis but, with us there at their side, they also feel free from worry.

I know that you live only to help these young men because of your love of tennis, your affection for them and your profession, but I suspect you suffer for the children that are just starting out.
.- We have set up the first world centre for tennis medicine not just to attend to professional players but also to establish a prevention plan. Just think, children start playing at 5 years of age and immediately begin training. When they reach maturity as a tennis player, at about 20 years old, they have already had 15 years at a high intensity. Only if you have been followed adequately (medically) throughout your life, can you aspire to maintaining yourself among the elite for 5 or 6 years.

They're already training at 5 years of age! I can see that many parents are trying to have a Rafa Nadal of their own.
.- I have my suspicions that they're won't be another Rafa Nadal. Not here or anywhere in the world. If there is, we'll be a long time finding him. Rafa is a unique phenomenon, special. Parents have to understand that this is a marathon not a 100 meter sprint. They shouldn't build up false expectations and they ought to give their children a good physical, technical and mental base. And they should understand that a child is not an adult in miniature but a person in formation. Sportswise, they have to grow in a common sense way, one stage at a time, carefully dosing competition, giving the child breathing space, so that he/she doesn't miss all the good things, the best childhood has to offer. Above all, thay must not abandon their studies. A good tennis player has to be an educated intelligent person.

Nadal is also a '10' at that.
.- Not just Rafa, that whole generation of players is very wholesome and they get on exceptionally well with one another. They are real phenomenons, of great worth as human beings. All of them, ALL of them, have their feet on the ground and, believe me, that is by no means easy living in the world they live in, not easy at all.

Наверняка мы никогда не узнаем, можем только предполагать или догадываться. Поэтому придется терпеливо ждать настоящих матчей. Что казается этого "показательного сета", то мне кажется, что Рафе не к чему перед защитой титула светиться на разных выставочных турнирах. К тому же пошел дождь, а играть на скользком корте очень опасно. Одно неосторожное движение - и прощай, Париж. Биться с в этих условиях с аргентинцем, который играл на полном серьезе и сражался за каждый мяч (как говорят те, кто там присутствовал) было бы верхом глупости.

Rafael Nadal puts pursuit of 'true slam' on hold

For the young Spaniard, winning a fifth successive French Open takes priority over an elusive record last achieved by Rod Laver

Steve Bierley
The Observer, Sunday 24 May 2009

The brow furrows, and the eyebrows, as if tugged by separate strings, rise and fall as though startled by each other. Rafa Nadal, the French Open champion for the past four years and the reigning Wimbledon and Australian Open champion, is contemplating the calendar slam, the true grand slam, something no male player has achieved since Rod Laver's second in 1969. "It is very special, but it is very difficult. That is the truth. I can't think about that right now. If I have the chance I would love to do it. And if I was in the final in New York, having won the French Open and Wimbledon again, I would think I had that chance. But until then, no."

He smiles, one that has radiated tennis stadiums throughout the world over the last four years. Young girls scream and grab at his hair when he passes; Roger Federer, holder of 13 slam titles, but twice denied the ethereal grand slam by the Spaniard, might be tempted to grab him by the throat. Had Rafa not emerged from his Majorcan fastness, the boy-man who won the French Open at his first attempt at the age of 19, beating Federer in the semi-final, then the patrician Swiss would surely have laid claim, beyond argument, to being the greatest player ever.

Small wonder emotion welled into tears in Melbourne when, having lost his Wimbledon crown to Nadal last year, he was then beaten by him in February's Australian Open final. And immediately afterwards, the thought occurred, almost sacrilegious so soon after Federer's fall, that it might be Nadal who could win the grand slam – that it might be this -Spanish force of nature who was destined to become the greater. The hard courts were Federer's last stronghold – he had won eight of his slams on them – and Rafa had stolen this security away from him, just as he had on the All England Club grass.

It may still appear that Nadal's racket is strung with razor wire, as opposed to Federer's silken strings, but it would be quite wrong to see the Spaniard as the equivalent of a barbarian force battering the gates of civilisation. He is every bit as special and, as he approaches his 23rd birthday, there seems no limit to what he may achieve, providing he remains fit and healthy. Carlos Moya, his fellow -Majorcan, and the 1998 French Open champion, always insisted that Nadal would be the world No1, while his uncle and coach, Toni, has quietly and indemonstrably prepared him for so much more than that.

Whereas Federer likes to practise in private, well away from the public gaze, Nadal's routine has changed little. "I am very happy to practise in Majorca and for people to watch. It is normal for me. In the summer, tourists come along; in -winter, only friends of the family. It's a normal life." Or at least as normal as it can ever be for a sporting superstar, -millionaire, and Aston Martin owner. "It was not a present for winning Wimbledon, I bought it before that," he points out while underlining, slightly sheepishly, that: "I don't like to drive fast." Neither would you see him emerge, Bond-like, to proclaim: 'The name's Nadal. Rafael Nadal."

Like all champions, he has a clear knowledge of his own ability: "I have my team who all help me, but in the end it is all down to me." There is no arrogance here. If there are hundreds waiting for an autograph after his matches, he continues to try to sign as many as is possible, win or lose. "I think I was the same when I was No2 as I am now. I think I am not more famous than I was two years ago." He pauses, then grins. "Maybe winning Wimbledon has made a little bit of difference, yes?"

To be sure it has. He is a man for all surfaces – "surfraces" as he -occasionally calls them – though "clay will always be special. It's a little bit easier for me, less aggressive." By this Nadal means it is less of a strain on his joints, although recently he has stopped wearing -support -strapping below his knees, the pain -having apparently eased. Yet if a dark cloud does pass temporarily over his sunny features, it is the remembrance of a serious foot injury that threatened to bring his career to an abrupt end almost before it had begun, the same year he won his first French Open title in 2005.

That first slam title was obviously special, though it was his second French Open that pleased him the most. "It was the most important. That injury at the end of 2005 was a very tough time for me. At that moment I did not know if I would have the chance to win another major because of the problem with the foot."

Because Nadal burst on to the stage with such energy and venom, it is -tempting to suppose he was immediately the finished article, but he has continued to learn and improve every year, even on clay, while taking greater care of his body. The problems with his foot and the -tendinitis in his knees made for many gloomy -prognostications that this rare and vivid flame would be snuffed out early.

At Roland Garros, Nadal has a perfect record: 28 matches, 28 wins, with 21 in straight sets. Not once has he been taken to five sets. Last year he equalled Bjorn Borg's four successive French Open titles, as well as becoming the first man since the Swede to win Roland Garros and Wimbledon back to back. This time he is attempting to become the first male player to win five consecutive French Opens.

Federer will cling to the hope that, -having beaten Nadal 6-4 6-4 in last Sunday's Madrid Masters final, this may finally be his year to win the French title, and place himself alongside the famous five – Fred Perry, Don Budge, Roy Emerson, Rod Laver, and Andre Agassi – who won all the four slams. He had similar expectations after defeating Nadal in Hamburg two years ago, but they came to nought, while last year he was bleakly crushed 6-1 6-3 6-0. Perhaps Nadal has not been quite his omnipotent best on clay this year, though he won in Monte Carlo, Barcelona and Rome, and remains the overwhelming favourite.

Borg always wanted his driver to take him along the same route to Roland Garros every day. Nadal has no such superstitions, his one foible being the placing of his water bottles in an exact spot by his chair. "It's very stupid. Maybe it's like concentration, I don't know." The calf-length shorts, the clam diggers, have gone, as have the sleeveless tops, while the Nureyev-style leaps on winning a special point have also been reduced. This is a more mature Rafa, and perhaps a touch less endearing because of it, though his ability to excite a crowd remains just as great, both on and off the court. There never have been -tantrums; the odd wince, the odd scowl, but never a broken racket.

So does he ever get angry? "Sure, a lot of times. When I am not happy I am -horrible, but I never shout on court. If I am angry I spend more time at the hotel in my room, or with Toni. If I am tired of everything." Such moods never last long, for Nadal is essentially gregarious. "No one is perfect. Everybody does stupid things. But to have a good family and friends is the most important thing. I feel a lucky guy for everything."

Nothing is inevitable in sport, though Nadal winning his fifth French Open and seventh slam is surely as near to a certainty as anything could be. Last year he won all seven matches in straight sets, with only Novak Djokovic taking him to a tie-break. Of the other 20 sets, he won nine 6-1, and three 6-0. "For me everything was unbelievable." As it was for everybody else, too, not least Federer.

As for the grand slam Nadal insists: "It is not an obsession." Defending his -Wimbledon title is unlikely to be straightforward, while he has never reached the US Open final, losing in the semis against Andy Murray last year. " I always love to win any slam, but the US Open would be a little bit special, because it is the only one left in my career. Anyway, I will try my best." This is undisputed. Even in practice Nadal always gives it everything.

And, as he says, with an eye towards both the record books and all his current opponents: "I have a lot of years on the tour, no? I feel very young."
