Drugi Grand Slam sezone! Danas izlazi ždrijeb kvalifikacija, pa je prigodno na vrijeme otvoriti temu...

Branitelji naslova su Nadal i Serena, a  oni su glavni favoriti i ove godine za osvajanje.

Neće se mnogi složiti sa mnom, posebice nakon lošeg uvoda Nadala u ovogodišnji French Open, ali čovjek koji u 9 godina skupi 1 poraz na pariškoj zemlji mora biti favorit - protiv svakoga... Odmah iza njega, sa par promila manje šanse za osvajanje je Đoković, koji je ako se ne varam u seriji od 4 pobjede protiv Nadala i sigurno je da će s nestrpljenjem obojica gledati tko će doći kome na put do očekivanog finala... Jednom ide Wawrinka, drugome Federer, dok će jednome od njih (možda čak i u četvrtinu) doći Ferrer,  i rekao bih da se s njim zatvara krug potencijalnih osvajača ovogodišnjeg RG, jer je danas takva slika tenisa, gdje su ostali miljama daleko, posebice na tri dobivena seta. 

Kod cura je situacija drugačija, Serena izraziti favorit, a onda veliki broj potencijalnih iznenađenja od cura koje mogu do finala, am ogu i ispasti u prvom tjednu. Tu prije svega mislim da Radwansku, Halep, Ivanović, Janković, Errani... Ipak, kao legitimna konkurentica Sereni se ističe Sharapova koja je igrala dobar tenis prošli mjesec i može zapapriti braniteljici naslova.

Od naših su niska očekivanja... blago rečeno... Drugi tjedan mislim neće dočekati niti jedan naš predstavnik... Čilić jedino ako mu se nešto okrene u glavi i počne igrati, Donna i Ajla previše ovise o raspoloženju određenog dana, a i ždrijeb bi im se za to trebao posložiti, dok od ostalih to i nije realno očekivati... Idemo vidjeti koliko daleko može Ana, nadam se da ćemo je vidjeti u glavnom tuniru...


Uživajmo svi zajedno!!!

Roland-Garros, a never-ending story

How did Roland-Garros come to be? Why is it named after an aviator? In what year was the tournament first held? Who are the legends of the game to have inscribed their name on the Coupe des Mousquetaires trophy? We take a fond look back at the long and glorious history of the world's greatest clay-court championship.

Way back when...

The stadium that stages one of the world's four major tennis tournaments was built in 1928, but the French men's singles championship goes back much further than that. Originally reserved for members of French clubs, it was first held on the courts of Stade Français club in Paris in 1891. The women's singles were added six years later, it was not until 1925 that the French Tennis Federation decided to open the event to the best foreign players. Thus, the French Internationals were born, and staged alternately at Stade Français and Racing Club de France until the Roland-Garros stadium came into being in 1928.

These Musketeers need a stadium!

1927 was a milestone for French tennis, the year the celebrated French Musketeers (Jacques "Toto" Brugnon, Jean Borotra, Henri Cochet and René Lacoste) pulled off one of the biggest shocks in 20th century sport. The famous foursome upset all the odds by winning the Davis Cup on American soil, and in doing so set up a rematch in 1928, in Paris. Obviously, such a major sporting occasion required a stadium worthy of its stature, and so it was that the Stade Français handed over three hectares of land near Porte d'Auteuil to the French Tennis Federation. The only condition to the offer of land was that the new stadium should bear the name of one of Stade Français' most renowned former members, Roland-Garros, who had died some ten years earlier. Roland-Garros was an aviation pioneer who, on 23 September 1913, had become the first man to fly a plane over the Mediterranean. The 1928 French Internationals were the first event to be held in the new stadium, just before the Musketeers took centre-stage to beat the Americans in their long-awaited rematch.

The post-war period: a golden era beckons

The Musketeers held on to the Davis Cup for another five years, only giving up the famous silver salad bowl in 1933, by which time the French Internationals at Roland-Garros had well and truly established themselves as a major international tournament. Cancelled from 1940 to 1945 due to the Second World War, Roland-Garros went from strength to strength in the post-war period, reflecting tennis' growth into a hugely popular sport-for-all. A new era began in 1968 with the French Championships becoming the first "open" Grand Slam tournament, bringing together amateurs and professionals who had previously played separately.

Borg and Evert take up residence at "Roland"

The late 1970s and early 1980s were a magical era for tennis in general, and Roland-Garros in particular. Centre court delighted in a succession of breathtaking displays by the peerless Björn Borg (who won the title a record six times). Other greats of the men's game to have graced the courts of Roland-Garros have included Ivan Lendl, Mats Wilander and more recently Gustavo Kuerten, all of whom have contributed to the legendary reputation of the French Open Championships.

The women's singles has had its great champions too: Chris Evert, who had the upper hand in a series of magnificent battles with Martina Navratilova over the years, Steffi Graf, who captured the hearts of the French fans in the twelve years between her first and sixth (and last) title in 1999 and Monica Seles, who was unstoppable in 1990, 91, and 92.

Nadal the undisputed king

Today, the tournament is fully deserving of its reputation as the world's premier clay court event. It is furiously competitive each year, to such an extent that French successes have been few and far between. Since the war, only Nelly Landry (1948), Françoise Durr (1967) and Mary Pierce (2000) among the women, together with Marcel Bernard (1946) and Yannick Noah (1983) in the men's event, have lifted the supreme title. Will a Frenchman be able to re-write the history books? To win at Roland Garros, it almost seems to be a prerequisite for a player to speak Spanish. Most of the current clay court specialists are Spanish, including of course the current holder, Majorcan left-hander Rafael Nadal, who has won no fewer than eight times in nine appearances!

Eh, napokon drugi GS sezone. Nekakve prognoze ću ostaviti malo kasnije kada to sve ukalupim u smisleni post.

A i kladionica će se ponovno aktivirati - red je da obranim vodstvo nakon prvog.
