Nadal generally plays an aggressive behind-the-baseline game founded on heavy topspin groundstrokes, consistency, speedy footwork, and tenacious court coverage.[65] Known for his athleticism and speed around the court, Nadal is a capable defender[66] who hits well on the run, constructing winning plays from seemingly defensive positions. He also plays very fine dropshots, which work especially well because his heavy topspin often forces opponents to the back of the court. [67] Nadal is primarily a baseliner and seldom volleys but when he does come to the net he is a capable volleyer.
Nadal employs a full western grip forehand, often with a "lasso-whip" follow through, where his left arm hits through the ball and finishes above his left shoulder—as opposed to a more traditional finish across the body or around his opposite shoulder.[68][69] Nadal's forehand groundstroke form allows him to hit shots with heavy topspin—more so than many of his contemporaries.[70] San Francisco tennis researcher John Yandell used a high-speed video camera and special software to count the average number of revolutions of a tennis ball hit full force by Nadal. The first guys we did were Sampras and Agassi. They were hitting forehands that in general were spinning about 1,800 to 1,900 revolutions per minute. Federer is hitting with an amazing amount of spin, too, right? Twenty-seven hundred revolutions per minute. Well, we measured one forehand Nadal hit at 4,900. His average was 3,200." [71] While Nadal's shots tend to land short of the baseline, the characteristically high bounces his forehands achieve tend to mitigate the advantage an opponent would normally gain from capitalizing on a short ball. [72] Although his forehand is based on heavy topspin he can hit the ball deep and flat with a more orthodox follow through for clean winners.
Nadal has developed his serve into a solid weapon since his earlier years as a pro.[65] Nadal is able to deliver a high percentage of first serves, struck with moderate pace and placed strategically.[65] Nadal's second serve usually employs a hard left-handed slice towards right-handed opponents' backhands. Nadal relies on the consistency of his serve to gain a strategic advantage in points, rather than going for service winners.[73]
Nadal's mental resiliency and strategic approach to the game are other noted strengths. Nadal is able to avoid discouragement regardless of match score, allowing him to singularly focus on winning the current point and gaining an advantage. As a strategic player, Nadal can assess outside variables such as court surface, weather conditions, and his opponent's tactics in order to adjust his own play to best adapt to present conditions.[74]
Djokovic was born in Belgrade, Serbia. He was born to Srdjan and Dijana, and is the oldest of their three sons.[4] His two younger brothers, Djordje and Marko, are also tennis players with professional aspirations.[5]
He won his first Grand Slam singles title at the 2008 Australian Open. After beating World No. 1 and defending champion Roger Federer in the semi-finals, Djokovic defeated Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the final, becoming the first player representing Serbia to win a Grand Slam singles title and the youngest player in the open era to have reached the semifinals of all four Grand Slam events.[3]
He was the runner-up at the 2007 US Open and won the bronze medal in singles representing Serbia at the 2008 Olympic Games. He won the Tennis Masters Cup in 2008 and has won four Masters Series tournaments.
Portparol turnira izjavio je danas da je policija uhapsila čoveka zbog ometanja sportskog događaja. Kada je Nadal završio meč sa Francuzom Gaelom Monfisom navijač je počeo da trči sa tribina stigavši do španskog tenisera pre nego što je obezbeđenje intervenisalo.
"Za mene to nije problem. Stvarno je bio veoma fin. Rekao je 'ja te volim' i poljubio me", objasnio je kroz smeh Nadal.
