FANATIK: Nitko kao Peter Polansky, Kanađanin na neobičan način ispisao tenisku povijest

Peter Polansky poražen je u trećem kolu kvalifikacija za US Open od Donalda Younga 7:5, 1:6, 6:3, no ušao je u glavni ždrijeb kao sretni gubitnik. Međutim, to ne bi bilo nimalo čudno da se to nije dogodilo i na svakom prethodnom Grand Slamu ove sezone, Australian Openu, Roland Garrosu i Wimbledonu.

Nijedan tenisač u povijesti to nije uspio niti tri puta u sezoni, ali Peteru Polanskom bio je sretne ruke četiri puta. S tom činjenicom pohvalio se i na Twitteru.

History has been made! Peter Polansky (@PPolansky) has now entered every Grand Slam in 2018 as a Lucky Loser.

No player before had ever even gotten three in a row or three in one year.

Legendary stuff. #poLLanskycaLLendarsLLam https://t.co/PSB9Y4iddY

Sure Federer has won 20 majors, Nadal is 86-2 at the French Open, and Djokovic has won all 14 elite events, but Peter Polansky completing the Lucky Loser Slam is easily the most impressive thing I’ve ever seen in tennis.
