這篇很仔細的講Andy為什麼會輸整場比賽抓不到節奏經驗老道的Bjorkman巧妙運用戰術風沙太大導致Andy看不清楚球... 但Andy不為自己輸球找理由只是因為Bjorkman打的很好---class! 其實他去年也是這樣 Sydney第二輪也是刮大風輸給李亨澤然後澳網打進四強......今年也是一樣嗎? 還是會更好?更差? we'll see :p 但有人直接把這場輸球解釋為拿了出場費就跑啦 (據說是monstrous fee) 不想在低積分小比賽浪費時間但他還有打雙打阿... 不管了 *聳肩* Andy澳洲公開賽加油!! ========================== Bjorkman Breezes By Roddick Into Qatar Quarters From Tennisweek By Brad Falkner 01/08/2004 A swirling desert wind swept across the stadium court in Doha today. The gentle breeze was music to Jonas Bjorkman's ears. The 30th-ranked Bjorkman patiently put smart shots together and溻ike the sands of an hour glass slowly and methodically wore down world number one Andy Roddick 6-3, 6-4 to reach the quarterfinals of the $1 million Exxon Mobil Open. The 21-year-old Roddick, whose timing on his淸round stokes was about as accurate as a sun dial during an eclipse, could not turn back Bjorkman or the hands of time. The reigning U.S. Open champion never really regained the range on his strokes amid the windy conditions. In his post-match press conference, a relaxed Roddick refused to use the wind as an excuse, crediting Bjorkman for simply outplaying him. "Everybody is going to have an off day, I don't want to make excuses because he played great," Roddick said. "I was not seeing the ball well and it was pretty windy, but hey it's the same (conditions for both players)." Entering his 13th year on the ATP Tour, the 31-year-old Swede has experienced virtually all the effects the elements can have on a tennis ball and today Bjorkman believed the blowing breeze would sap some sting from Roddick's resounding serve. "The wind helped me today," said a smiling Bjorkman. "I knew that this would help me today. It's not easy to hit with power in the wind. This made his serve easier to return." The return has always been one of the Swede's strengths and today he not only hit consistently deep returns, Bjorkman actually hit more aces than Roddick, delivering eight aces compared to six for Roddick. A master tennis impersonator who performs spot-on imitations of classic serves ranging from John McEnroe to Boris Becker to Pete Sampras, Bjorkman looked completely comfortable cracking his own serve today. "The key was that I served really well today," Bjorkman said. "It is not often that you more aces than a guy like Andy." A six-time Grand Slam doubles champion, Bjorkman does not possess the power of Roddick, but can capably call on a more varied shot selection. The former No. 4 used his all-court acumen to stifle an unsteady Roddick into滟ore unforced errors than winners. In the sixth game of the first set, Bjorkman broke serve when嘞oddick hit a routine沲orehand long.In the second set, Bjorkman immediately gained the advantage by scoring a service break in Roddick's opening service game. The reigning U.S. Open champion spent the rest of the set playing catch-up and Bjorkman's persistent patience often induced Roddick into errors of over aggression. "Getting the early break in the second set was very helpful," Bjorkman said. "What really helped was saving the break point in the first game of the match, I did not want to fall behind early." Bjorkman took a page out of the Brad Gilbert play book in employing tactical brilliance to beat the Australian Open semifinalist. While common player wisdom sees many opponents pound Roddick's weaker backhand wing, Bjorkman took a different tact. Spinning deep forehands cross court that pushed Roddick wide in pursuit, Bjorkman effectively nullified Roddick's knock-out punch: the inside -out forehand. "With Andy you have to be careful not to go to his backhand to many times in a row," Bjorkman said. "I was trying to hit only濳wo or three shots in a row to his backhand and then wide to his forehand. Guys like Roddick and (Younes) El Aynaoui like to run around their backhands so you can't give them five or six in a row." Fourth-seeded French man Sebastien Grosjean beat qualifier Bohdan Ulihrach 6-1, 6-4, and wild-card entry Nicolas Escude continued his strong showing in defeating Ivo Hueberger 6-3, 6-2. http://www.sportsmediainc.com/tennisweek/index.cfm?func=showarticle&newsid=10224&bannerregion= -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.231.102.17
