grass and clay are far more forgiving surfaces but the grass season is so short.

Rafa Nadal : " I haven't forgotten how to play tennis , to me every success counts and of course it is great to be in the final here on grass ; now I'm feeling well , after the French Open it was important to get right back on the court and practice for many hours to stay positive and have my best tennis coming back , to be honest I really don't care about the expectations coming from outside , I have been on the tour for 13 years now , I don't care about what people think or say , I focus on myself and that is all that matters .!.! "
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Now it’s Becker vs Edberg , or Becker vs Federer or Becker vs Mauresmo ? Or Djoker vs Murray , I just pray that Tony will troll all of that staff one day , but how how my GOD .!.!

While Rafa’s rivals like Federer and Djoker have opted to bring in legends like Stefan Edberg and Boris Becker to reinforce their teams, Rafa is again keen to keep it simple and work with his tried and trusted team , Rafa joking about if he thinks change Toni as coach and hire a celebrity and said that now that Toni has started coaching his kids , he's more in danger of losing his coach than Toni his job , Rafa who has been coached by his uncle Toni all his life , says he doesn’t need a tennis legend to guide him on tour , here is some Rafa’s quotes about this ..

“ My feeling is that is depends on the player , I think coaching tennis is not a big deal , we are not doing something very very difficult , tennis is a simple game at the end of the day ”

“ It’s more about the player believing in the work that his coach is doing , some players need somebody who was a great champion in the past to believe in them , someone for example like me , I don’t need to have a great champion in front of me coaching to believe that what that person is telling me is the right thing ”

“ So in my opinion it’s more about the player than the coach , in my case, I never needed a former champion to be my coach , what I’m saying is that there are different ways to have the right coach ”

Video: Nadal Finding Form on Grass

http://www.tennisnow.com/Blogs/NET-POSTS/June-2015/Video-Nadal-Finding-Form-on-Grass.aspx

Surprisingly, Rafael Nadal played some of his best tennis of 2015 on the green grass of Stuttgart last week. Well, maybe it’s not so surprising when you think about it. Nadal is a two-time Wimbledon champion and, despite some difficult losses on clay this season, the Spaniard has been steadily improving as the season has progressed. More important, Nadal has not stopped working, or believing that the work he is doing won’t someday pay off.
Nadal’s hard yards paid off nicely this week in Germany, as the Spaniard convincingly won his first grass-court title in five years. The video above shows a very relaxed-looking Nadal, playing with poise and great feel for the ball. He appears to be committed to attacking the net and closing points early, and he seems to let his subconscious take over, just letting his reflexes and his intuition do the work, rather than overthinking.

The above highlight package shows Nadal knocking off volley after volley and setting up aggressive points with pinpoint locational serving and pretty aggressive court positioning. Rarely in these points is Nadal stuck behind the baseline. He takes the ball early and looks to step up to the baseline to conduct the points from an advantageous court position as often as he can.

On most occasions, it worked beautifully.

The big question: Can Nadal build on his Stuttgart success in Queen’s this week? His draw will be a lot tougher, but if he does, it will be a clear indication that Nadal’s clay struggles are behind him and he’s ready to be a threat on grass. Maybe playing with low expectations and a low seed feel like a breath of fresh air to Nadal this summer, rather than an ominous sign that the end is nigh?

Whatever the case, Nadal played some very clean, very instinctive ball this week in Stuttgart. He moved cat-like and precise, as if he was born with dimples on the soles of his shoes. After months of black clouds and blue moods, is the king of clay finally getting his groove back on grass? - See more at:

he was even up a break in the 3rd. tough first round loss for him but he knows he has his work ahead of him.

nothing short of 2 long practice sessions a day will help fix some of this.


this changes things again. it could be a very short grass season for him.

there is just no consistency in his game.

he really has no choice but to get back on clay after Wimbledon.

It's the inconsistency that's baffling. I agree. But he's also making inopportune errors. the decision-making isn't clear, but hopefully he can spend this time working on his game.

dolgopolov is ranked #79 in the world.

rafa just won a tournament on grass. he should have been able to steamroll this guy.


I am not disappointed. I just know how much rafa has slipped in all areas.


it was clear months ago that he dropped his game and most of his fitness. in fact it was clear to me over 2 years ago that this was going to happen.


ground game is suspect. backhand lets him down time again because he wont give it a chance in matches and in practice.

return game is suspect and inconsistent because he wont practice returns. and he gives them all the space they need with his poor court positioning.

I just don't know why he keeps doing the same thing.

fitness is suspect. he is just going to have to work a lot harder to get out of this funk.


I just hope he can get a few matches at Wimbledon. that will be a step in the right direction.


and then he has to go get on clay. clay is the only thing that can fix his ground game.

practice and hard work and complete focus on the game fixes most of the issues 100% of the time for all the players.


it is no different for him. he knows the value of hard work better than anybody.


if you are going to make $41 million a year playing sports then he should be working 7-8 hours a day on his game to at least get out of this damn funk.


he still does not have the sufficient focus and the mental discipline.


he should have been able to run right over dolgoplov in the 3rd set.


he struggled for nearly 3 hours to get rid of baggy in the last tournament. baggy is not even a good challenger level player anymore.


I am his greatest fan on the planet and I am just not seeing him work hard enough.


he is out there competing and we all know he is out there to win. he wants to win. they all do.

but to win consistently in this sport you need preparation.


it is war out there and you must prepare properly. rafa had always done that but he is not doing it anymore.

he leaves too much on the table for other players to take.


rafa would have been completely demolished by any of the top players today. he is going to have to go put in the long hard yards on the practice courts and on the fitness front.


these players are not going away. they keep showing up more and more fit and extremely hungry for wins.




stan won the French open for a few simple reasons:


1. first of all he wanted to win and he believed he could win. he had the hunger and the drive. he went to RG to take the tournament. so he was single minded in his focus.

2. preparation. he worked very hard on the practice courts. his team really pushed him.

3. he put in the time on the fitness front. he also spent time in the gym.

4. mental discipline. he knew djokovic had beaten him 17 times before. still he was willing to believe in his chances and stand up to djokovic.


he even said so: he said he thinks he has the game to beat the best.

General, unfortunately I missed yet another match.  I don't usually say it, but I'm almost glad I did.

Bottom line, he is losing to players he should be handling in the decider.  After Nadal not losing a set in their first 5 matches, that's two losses in a row to Dolgopolov, much like Fognini. He rarely used to lose deciders with his previous fitness.

I know he won the Stuttgart tourney, but against the level of players he played,  it wasn't that much of a surprise and he got those last two matches done against Monfils and Troicki in straight sets..  Now he arrived at the more competitive Queens with fresh grass and lost.  I guess the good news is that he won his first grass tourney since 2011, and has 5 grass matches under his belt without getting hurt.  So who knows what will happen?

I know some people would laugh at me, but I almost think he needs to give up Wimbledon and take a full training block and then return on the summer clay in places like Kitzbuhel and Hamburg.  Some hard work on the bike wouldn't go amiss - maybe 50-100 miles/day for a good foundation.  Well, you're the bike fitness expert general.  How many miles should someone like Nadal need?  I would first go for the long miles as a foundation for a few weeks, and then start doing repetitive shorter sprints to build explosiveness. But what do I know? :)

I don't know General.  We keep saying it, but something needs to change if Rafa is to be competitive at the top again, or, I guess he won't.

Federer barely escaped from a very good Philipp Kohlschreiber in Halle in a tough first round battle against the former champion, so nothing comes easy.  He just outplayed Philipp at the very end of the tiebreaker in a mostly good quality match that could have gone either way.  Strangely, Philipp probably played better tennis in the two tiebreaker sets he lost, but that's the way it goes sometimes.  He won more games, more points and broke twice to Federer's once, and still lost.  But Federer still looked physically strong at the end, and was serving well to close it out at the last.

Respectfully,
masterclass

great post. he has no business to losing to dolgopolov. and now twice in a row on 2 different surfaces.



winning in Stuttgart was a step in the right direction but it masked the issues only briefly.


it is like that title in rio last year. he should have lost to Pablo who had 4 match points. rafa did not face anybody ranked higher that #59 in that event.



the downfall has been steady and well forewarned and well forecasted here at Camelot.


winning barely just 10% of the points in the rallies against berdych in Melbourne should have told the story.


this was a weakened rafa with limited ground game and significantly diminished fitness and physicality.



his traveling coach has said this and we all know it too: he won in the past even when limping around. part of that was the youth and part was the hunger to win. he had better focus.


he cannot overcome the deficiencies in his ground game and his fitness this year to stand up to the top guns. it is going to take some time.


that is why I said I hope he realizes that next year starts now.

he has to work on both daily: practice courts and fitness.



general I don't think he will go ride bikes but he can do some swimming and spend time in the gym.

resistance training now is more critical than ever. he has lost his physicality and is no longer able to overpower his opponents.


he gives them free space with his poor court positioning and they also know exactly where he is going with his shots.


rafa has made the game very hard for himself.



now there is no way out except for very hard work on the practice courts and on the fitness front.

he just has to get back on clay as soon as Wimbledon is over.


it is either doing what he has to do now or drop out of top 20 next year and possible retirement at the end of 2016.


there is no time to waste. window keeps closing. he has to go find clay after Wimbledon.



getting caught up with all these extracurricular activities was a very bad idea.


I mean he stages poker tournaments right in the middle of the tournament. he has done that at least 3 times now.


so poker star throws $1-$2 million at him but each RG is worth $30 million over a lifetime.


and not to mention the chance to stare down history.


and who the bloody hell builds tennis academies while still in their prime. no other all time great has ever done that.


and then there is the world. the world just cant get enough of his time and his attention.  rafa is kind so he gives the world his time.


then there is golf and vacations. who vacationed for a week in costa rica except for rafa in the tennis world just before indian wells.


there are no more injuries. he is healthy and should be fresh. he loses just about every other match. he has been losing early damn near everywhere.


so there is plenty of time to work on the declining game and fitness.


he is just not doing enough. he is an all time great. one of the greatest players of all time.

they are not better than him. that is why he had a winning record against 100% of the top 30 players.



he is just leaving too much on the table for them to take.

Yep. Another super post general.  I guess I forgot bike training might put too much stress on the knees for him. Swimming is probably the way to go.

Here is something I just saw on ESPN general that is making me wonder...

    ESPN Staff
 
Rafael Nadal says he is not focused on winning grand slams this year and has set his sights on qualifying for the ATP World Tour Finals at the end of the season.

Nadal suffered just his second ever defeat at the French Open last month when Novak Djokovic knocked him out in the quarter-finals, but he has made a blistering start to the grass court season by winning his first title on the surface since 2010 at the Mercedes Cup.

After falling to No.10 in the rankings, his next target is a place back in the top eight and at the O2 Arena in November. "That's my main goal," the 29-year-old said. "Winning grand slams or not, I have won enough in my career. Fourteen is enough.

"Right now, I am the No.10 in the world and I only played six months, with half of them being very bad. But I am sure that I'm going to keep trying.

"I have the motivation and I feel my mentality and my body are ready for it. Then, if I'm able to play the full season, I hope to finish in a good position on the rankings and then have the chance to start 2016 stronger."

------------------------------------------

What do you make of this general?  That stunned me when he said, 14 slams is enough.  Hard to believe that he would have that perspective. Do you think he is just taking pressure off himself?

I bet Federer fans are happy that he did not say that 11 slams is more than enough.


he had Sampras in his sights. he was not going to stop or slow down. he is 34 and still after more slams. he said he went to RG to try to win it.



rafa had Federer and history in sight. and it was right there.



bottom line: rafa has given up trying to stand up to the top guns because of lost focus. he just does not want to work hard enough to keep up with them anymore.


he just does not hunger endlessly to win anymore. otherwise he would do something about it.

I know what he and his team have to say for public consumption.

but what I have been seeing on the court is quite the opposite. he usually checks out at some point. he is also huffing and puffing in these short matches. he gets tired. he was flat and spent against andy murray in Madrid. he just could not muster up the energy to stand up to Andy.


he never even bothered to show up--in a way--against djokovic at RG.


he said ahead of time that it was no shame to lose to djokovic. that is just a horrible state of mind.


and now he says that he expected to lose to djokovic at RG. that is even more ridiculous. he also said ahead--ahead of the French open--that if he loses it is no big deal. and that he had won it enough times already.


he said it was not the end of the world but his world is tennis. and it is damn near the end.



trying to qualify for WTF is a very bad idea. that means he will be chasing points on the hard courts after the u.s. open while winning exactly zero events.

hard courts now also could lead to injury which ends the career instantly.


when has he ever been a factor on the indoor hard courts. and what will he do when he gets to WTF?

he cant even get lucky anymore. luck always sides with those who are more prepared in this sport.

tony had hoped for luck at RG this year.



rafa needs to embark on a simple journey if he wants to win and dominate the top players again:

he needs to go put in the long yards on the practice courts and on the fitness front.

and he has to be single minded in his focus.

It's not weird to me. So much depends on someone's mindset. I would never be battling to be, stay, or hankering after the number one spot or trophies. I can't even say if I admire that. At some point we get sated. I know I do, and I can truly understand how he feels. In the end, what's the point? There will just be someone who comes behind you to take all your "glory" away.

Look at Pete. Everyone thought he would have a record that stood forever, but in just a few short years it was eclipsed. If I was in a competitive sport I would only be comparing my achievements to myself, not someone else. So, if I started a career and did well, I would be satisfied. Maybe that's what many people don't understand; contentment.

I don't think Rafa had dreams to be the greatest. I think he just wanted to play the game, but then all the titles, the money, the status came along, but is that really how you should define yourself as a player?

I actually respect him more for saying that. Nothing that we do will stand the test of time. Fifty years from now, when we're not here people may not even remember this era. Who talks about Renfrow now? Nobody.

Everything we do on earth is temporal. People, IMO, tend to make much ado about nothing.

As a fan I can only be grateful for the last decade of superb tennis. But, if he's not feeling it right now. I'm OK with that too. First and foremos I want my player to be happy, not just on the tennis court, but in his life.

I know it's weird, but I really don't like the idea of competition. I don't get the point of it. I only want to be happy. Bettering my fellow man just doesn't appeal to me. It never has.

chasing points on the hard courts after the u.s. open for the express purpose of qualifying for WTF is a very bad idea.


it can lead to injury which ends the career instantly, let alone doing anything in 2016.


I would skip WTF and use the time to practice long and hard on the clay and to work on fitness.

he has to minimize the incidence of injury at this point because 2016 is all he has left.


I think he will leave the sport at the end of 2016 if he cant win at all and if he is out of the top 20 by then.

Well the first thought that came to my mind when I read that, is that he'll be back on his darn indoor hard court in no time practicing non-stop for the WTF.  It's like once he built that thing, he is infatuated with it and can't get off of it. 

I also just saw an interview on Sky Sports where Rafa said that he knew Dolgopolov was a dangerous opponent and he would have a difficult time beating him if he couldn't play his best.  He said he will return home, take a short break, play some golf, go fishing before returning to practice.  He didn't seem very upset, almost like he expected it.  If they put the interview up on their site, I'll post it.

Well, I guess we'll see what happens in the next few months.  I won't be surprised at anything I see. We've seen Rafa  come out of nowhere and start winning everything if he start clicking with that forehand and can get on a roll.  Or he could continue to have problems.  He's much harder now to predict for me.
