“Andy Roddik commented on a new great confrontation in male tennis”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
Roddik confessed that he did not expect two stars such as the Spaniard and the Italian, especially after the era of Dzokovich, Nadal, Feder and Serena Williams: “I would lose the house if I was told that after Roger (Fedeer), after Rafa (Nadal), after Serena) Impulse. And here we are here again. I would not put it on it, I definitely not expect, but the hell I am very grateful. ”
“I think tennis players are the best athletes in the world. More than five hours in the largest arenas of the planet. Compare this with other sports. I do not want to depreciate others, but: the NBA match is 48 minutes in the air-conditioned room, with partners, breaks, time outs, trainers. Constant communication. And earlier we looked at us as “weak golf club players”. Now this perception has disappeared. The more I see, the more I understand – tennis players are really the best athletes on the planet.
The level at which the two tennis was taken is simply absurd. Just like three large figures to them – they continue to lift the bar to unprecedented heights. The way Jannik went out for the match and how he was strongly beat on the ball … It was madness. Five hours forty minutes – and they are still standing. Yannik may have been convulsions, but he is fighting. And Carlos never seems. And Yannik too. It was not the case that someone was mistaken on fortchend or Beckhendi. You just look and say, “Oh, the percentage of the first feed has fallen into four points” – and that is enough. Mistakes are not even mistakes, it is a deviation by half a meter, and that is enough. ”
In addition, he expressed his condolences to Sinner, who did not implement three matches.
“It is always strange to talk about other people’s defeats, but I’m sorry for the Yannik. I am sure that he understands himself – there is nothing to blame himself and that he has fully arranged. Probably three months ago, such a result would seem fantastic, but it will not help him fall asleep for a few nights. ”
With the end of the soil season and the onset of herbal Roddik, he tried to predict who could challenge this great couple.
“After the defeat of Dzhokovich, I said he could still win Wimbledon. But Rolan Harros is not sure. Although every time I doubt it, it makes it impossible. But yes, he is still among the main contenders. I think he is on par with Alaras and Sinner. Jack Draper, who has become a sensation of this season, will now enter the same Hippe car that always accompanies the British at home tournaments. All the attention will be drawn to him, and it will be one of the most interesting stories on the grass. ”
