Haase, The Djoker's clone

Haase has been another player turning heads at this year’s edition of the Rogers Cup. Sadly, he is not a next gen player but he is a djoker just not the djoker. In his semifinals clash with Federer he earned himself fans by making a mid-match joke. When the Dutchman was preparing to serve a fan shouted “Come on Roger!” Robin quickly came up with a humorous response “my name is Robin!” It didn’t take long for the crowd to burst into tears after that. It helped him grow since then, in the days since he has gotten 50 more followers total compared to his daily average of 10.

The tennis veteran has had an admirable 12 year career. He has managed to put two 250 events on his resume both tournaments being Kitzbuhel from 2015 and 2011. His career high ranking is 33. As a junior, Robin Haase was showing signs of stardom, his highest rank as a junior was world number 3! Up until today the dutchman has won 13 ATP challenger events and isn’t showing signs of stopping anytime soon.

Haase ended up losing to Federer 3-6,6(5)-7 but it was a hard fought battle and included overall great effort from players. With Federer’s win over Robin Haase and Zverev’s win over Shapovalov each will mount on a serious challenge for the title. Federer to tie for 2nd most titles in the open era (94) and zverev for his second masters trophy and for his 5th career title.

How To meet Your Tennis Idol (Djokovic, Nadal And More!)

We’ve all dreamed about it as kids, and maybe even adults. But how would you actually come into contact with them? Here are a couple ways that you might find useful. Using Their Agency I know of 1 particular agency that represents a couple of big players like Djokovic and Nadal. They offer lots of different opportunities to contact their players. You can book a hitting session with them or have lunch with them, imagine finding out what Nadal orders at restaurants! You can get a private meet and greet with the player of your choice I’m not too sure but you could probably also do it for an organization too. Although this isn’t with a player you can get a “backstage tour” of an ATP or WTA tournament of your choice. Or something every single tennis fan has dreamed of sitting in a player’s private box and having cameras shine on them. Just think about sitting next to Jelena or Xisca and talking to them about their boyfriend/husband’s game. Or you can sit on the court during a p

Zverev, Boss Or Bust?

Z verev has had an amazing run in his dream 2017 season and was showing no signs of stopping ahead of this year’s US Open. Last night something unpredictable happened. He lost to his fellow next gen contender, the Croatian Borna Coric 6-3, 5-7, 6-7, 6-7. Zverev at the 2015 US Open Zverev started off his year with an impressive run to the round of 32 in the Australian Open until he got shut down by Nadal 6-2, 6-3, 6-4. Later he exited a tournament due to Kyrgios on 2 straight occasions. Which was then followed up by another defeat to Nadal in the round of 16 in Monte-Carlo. 8 days before his first round match he beat Raonic and Djokovic to get his first Masters title. Following that achievement he suffered a first round exit to Verdasco in 4 sets, 4-6, 6-3, 4-6, 2-6. Maybe his curse is real! A little later, he reached a round of 16 match. Then he fell to Milos Raonic 6-4, 5-7, 6-4, 5-7, 6-1. I’m sure he and the majority of his fans hoped and believed he could’ve do

What Was key In Zverev's Triumph Over Federer And How Can You Use It?

Zverev managed to stop Federer from tying for second most titles in the Open Era, looks like most grand slams, most ATP Final events, most masters 1000 event finals, most 500 tournaments, most 250 tournament finals and most match wins is enough. Zverev is definitely happy for his second masters' event and for the check that says $894,585. There is no doubt that Zverev dominated in most aspects of the game. , but which of those stats were the most key? For starters Zverev’s serve was way more effective than Federer’s serve in every way possible average serve speed, 1st serve in %, 1st serve and second serve points won and double faults. Now, one of the biggest reasons for any win lies in there, but which one. The answer is 2nd serve points won, yes the mere three percent may have won Zverev the match (Zverev 61%, Federer 58%.) My theory is that if that stat is significantly under 50% you’re already 50% closer to losing that match. Another very important statistic lying in
