Who's The Champion?

THIS GUY!!! :)

We're out of words to describe this year's Novak Djokovic. I don't know what he does, what he eats, but he's almost unbeatable. I was just reading an interview with Marian Vajda the other day. When asked if he thinks that Nole can win three Grand Slams this year, he said "Yes. He takes training very seriously, he is determined to win and his game is stronger than ever." When asked if he thinks that Nole can win all the Grand Slams this year, his answer was simple. "No." Well, the coach knows it best, no? :)

Day 6 - My Most Memorable Match

WIMBLEDON 2010, R1 : JOHN ISNER def. NICOLAS MAHUT

6-4 3-6 6-7 7-6 70-68

Probably the easiest for me to choose. This should be everyone's most memorable match. It's epic. After more than one year, I still don't have enough words to describe this incredible confrontation. I know you have heard a million times about the records these two guys have broken in those three days, so I won't mention them again. I just know that they won an ESPY Award for this match, their outfits and racquets are now at the International Tennis Hall of Fame and they have the respect of everyone in the tennis world and not only them. So please everyone, take a bow in front of John Isner and Nicolas Mahut, two REAL champions!

Day 5 - Least Favourite Women's Player

CAROLINE WOZNIACKI

Just like yesterday, it is difficult for me to choose a least favourite player. But unlike yesterday, when I didn't really have a player I didn't like, today I have more than one. The most important candidates at the title of 'My Least Favourite Women's Player' were Maria Sharapova, Petra Kvitova and Caroline Wozniacki. So, I took them one by one and I thought. Maria Sharapova. An amazing player, a huge talent and a killer determination. Not very constant, but she gets over a loss easily and continues to take down important players. Petra Kvitova. A good player, very strong and determined. She went from zero to hero and positively shocked the tennis world with her Wimbledon win. Caroline Wozniacki. *silence* Well, she is the world No. 1, so she must be pretty good. Honestly, when I see her playing, I'm always wondering: how does she win matches? Her game has nothing amazing, nothing brilliant, nothing to make me say "Yes! That's the best player in the world!". If she wins a Grand Slam, I will be very surprised. And I shouldn't be surprised when it comes to the world No. 1.

Day 4 - Least Favourite Men's Player

ERNESTS GULBIS

It's very difficult to me to choose a least favourite player in men's tennis. Because I don't really have something like that. How did I decide to write about Gulbis? No idea. He is a great player and I've seen his very loved among tennis fans, but I've never really cheered for him. So yes, this would be the only reason I'm choosing him. Sorry, Ernie!

Day 3 - Favourite Doubles Team

ROBERT LINDSTEDT & HORIA TECAU

First time I saw Tecau and Lindstedt on the same court, they were playing against each other, during the Davis Cup tie between Romania and Sweden. Tecau was teaming with Hanescu, while Lindstedt's partner was Soderling. The Swedes won back then, but Robert was impressed by Horia's talent. Not long after that, he contacted the Romanian and soon enough, they became a team. One of them, older and wise. The other one, young and powerful. They won tournaments together, they defeated important names in doubles tennis and they made two Grand Slam finals. Last year, they were extremely close to qualify for the World Tour Finals. Should I go on? I think I've made my point. :)

Day 2 - Favourite Women's Player

DINARA SAFINA

If you read my blog or you follow me on Twitter, you probably know already that my favourite WTA star is clearly Dinara Safina. She has become my favourite only a few months after I said I was never going to support her. Unbelievable, but real.

Usually, when I just start to watch a sport, I am cheering for the outsider. I have always liked to see surprises in sport or even provoke them, while being a TaeKwonDo player. When I saw Dinara for the first time, she was the best player in the world and she was playing against Sabine Lisicki in Wimbledon 2009. She was playing amazingly well, to be exact. So, knowing none of them, I decided to take the outsider's side. Of course, Dinara won and I said I was not going to support her in her next matches for anything. I was basically not liking her because she was too good. However, in like two months, after seeing more of her matches, who was her biggest fan? Moi, of course. Now, it's a pity that the physical problems decided to stay in her way to success. It's too bad that she couldn't take home a Grand Slam trophy before this happened. Anyway, I can't wait her to be back and to proove everyone she is amazing. I've already seen that. :)

Davai, Dinara!
