Roger Federer discusses his fourth Miami Open presented by Itau triumph and why he thought he may have even broken John Isner too many times in the first set of the final.

 

 

Roger Federer VS John Isner - Miami Open 2019 FINAL | HIGHLIGHTS.

 

 

Federer downs injured Isner in Miami for 101st career title.

Roger Federer defeated a hobbling John Isner 6-1 6-4 for his 101th career title at the Miami Open on Sunday.

Holder Isner struggled to continue late in the second set, hampered by pain in his left foot.

Federer, who won his fourth Miami title, broke Isner three times in a blazing opening set.

"It was a dream start, relaxing my nerves," the Swiss, 37, said in a courtside interview.

But the American fought back in the second, leveling the set at 3-3 and 4-4 before the pain made it difficult to continue. Federer took the final two games for the victory.

"What a week its been for me," said the fourth seed. "I'm just so happy right now. It's unbelievable. I played here in 1999 for the first time and here I am in 2019. It means a lot to me."

Only American Jimmy Connors, with 109, has more career singles titles than Federer.

Isner began to feel pain in the first set.

"I started feeling some pain on the top of my foot, and it didn't go away. It only kept getting worse," he said. "I have never had anything like this before, ever."

MASTER FEDERER

Even before the injury slowed the seventh-seeded American, Federer was the master, tempering Isner's big serves and winning 32 of 35 points on his own serve

"Roger was too good," Isner said. "In the first five games, I was fine. Nothing was bothering me. He was all over me."

Federer elected to receive to open the match and the strategy paid off as he broke Isner.

The American held on the third game but Federer took the next four.

Isner played much better in the second set but in the end the pain became too much, even with a medical examination after the seventh game.

"I knew at 3-4, whatever, I knew I wasn't going to win. I can tell you that much," said Isner.

"Which is a weird feeling, you know, being on serve in the finals of a match and knowing that I wasn't going to win."

Federer also sensed the American was in trouble.

"I knew it was going to be something that was not right. The way he was moving was not well," Federer said.

"But at the same time I have got to make him work hard, keep doing my things."

The title was Federer's second of the year, coming after his historic 100th win in Doha in February.

Proud Barty defeats Pliskova to capture WTA Miami Open title.

Ashleigh Barty's transformation is complete after the Australian defeated Czech fifth seed Karolina Pliskova 7-6 (7/1) 6-3 Saturday to win the biggest singles title of her career at the WTA Miami Open.

The 22-year-old Aussie quit tennis five years ago after finding the mental grind of the tour too much to bear, turning to professional cricket in a bid to find sporting happiness.

Barty, however, knew she had the tennis skills to compete at the very top and after returning in February 2016, has taken her career to an elite level, culminating in her first-ever WTA Premier Mandatory title to follow on from the US Open doubles crown she won last September.

Barty, a junior Wimbledon winner at age 15, will rise from 11th to number nine in the world rankings and become the first Australian woman since Sam Stosur in June 2013 to crack the top 10.

"It feels like it's a long time ago now since I took the break and since I came back," said Barty, who also reached the doubles semi-finals at the Hard Rock Stadium with Victoria Azarenka.

"It's been a few years now, but I certainly feel like I'm a very different person. I feel like I'm a more complete player, I'm a better player.

"I was an average cricketer and I'm becoming a better tennis player.

"I feel like when I play my best, I'm good enough to match it with the very best in the world."

Barty hit 15 aces and 41 winners compared to 22 from an out-of-sorts Pliskova.

"I had to keep it physical, make as many balls as possible and keep my running shoes on," Barty said.

Barty's victory means that for the first time ever there have been 14 different winners in 14 WTA events so far this season.

Pliskova, who will rise to fourth in the rankings despite a disappointing final, badly struggled with her serve and movement, off the pace mentally and physically after reaching the quarter-finals or better in her five prior tournaments this year.

"She played well and I was super tired," said the Czech. "The conditions were different to the night matches I played. For sure I could play better but she went for it in the tie-break.

"The first set was key for the match and one I should have won.It was tough to fight in the second."

The 27-year-old Czech , who beat Barty 6-4, 6-4 in the round of 16 at last year's US Open, came into the final with 31 aces, most in the women's draw, but she won only 65% of points on her first serve compared to 86% from Barty.

"She served great," said Pliskova who defeated Simona Halep in the semi-finals and denied the Romanian the chance to reclaim the world number one ranking.

- 'Amazing fortnight' -

When the Australian double faulted at 1-1 to hand Pliskova an early break, it wasn't the start Barty sought and more errors in the following game allowed Pliskova to extend her lead.

Barty then began to settle down and crisply struck a forehand winner to break Pliskova for the first time.

The Aussie started superbly in the tie-breaker, moving 5-1 ahead before Pliskova hit long to seal the set for Barty, who broke early in the second set to signal it would be her day.

"It's been an amazing fortnight of tennis and it's pretty cool to have played a good match on such a big stage.

"It was always going to be a match of small opportunities so getting the first set was massive.

"There were zero expectations coming into this tournament, I just saw it as an opportunity to get better every day but I have grabbed my chance with both hands.

"I am proud of myself," she said.

For rock people, he lost five straight matches to Federer.

Federer can win Roland Garros if I am not injury free and therefore complete the second Career Slam?

I can win Wimbledon if Federer is tired by then and Djokovic continues on his slide?

Man who stabbed Petra Kvitova gets eight-year prison term.

A man who stabbed two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova in her home was sentenced to eight years in prison on Tuesday.

Radim Zondra, 33, was convicted of causing Kvitova serious bodily harm by a regional court in Brno.

The state prosecutor requested 12 years for Zondra, who pleaded not guilty to attacking Kvitova in December 2016 in her apartment in Prostejov.

After a quarterfinal round loss in the Miami Open on Tuesday night, Kvitova addressed the verdict.

“Yeah, I heard that, for sure, I heard that this morning,” she said. “I accepted the news. I’m happy for the news and I’m glad it’s over now.”

Kvitova’s spokesman, Karel Tejkal, said she “respects the ruling of an independent court.”

“She’s satisfied with the verdict because she identified the convicted person as the attacker,” Tejkal said.

Zondra can appeal, and so can the prosecution.

Kvitova had surgery on injuries to her playing left hand. It took the tennis star more than five months to recover.

Kvitova reached the Australian Open final in January, her first Grand Slam final since her second Wimbledon title in 2014. She is ranked a career-high No. 2.

Her testimony provided key evidence for the court to rule in the case, Judge Dagmar Bordovska said.

Kvitova testified she opened the door when Zondra rang the doorbell because she expected a possible doping control. The suspect claimed he came to inspect her boiler.

In the attack, Kvitova sustained damage to the tendons in her hand, along with injuries to all five fingers and two nerves, and underwent nearly four hours of surgery.(

While bleeding, she said she offered Zondra money. He accepted 10,000 Czech crowns ($440) and left.

Zondra has a criminal record behind him.

In 2012, he was sentenced to seven and a half years in prison for being a member of a gang that attacked lonely pensioners. After he was released when his sentenced was suspended, he gave a tip to a gang of three 2015 to rob a lawyer. The three tortured that person and robbed him of some 50,000 Czech crowns.

For his tip, Zondra received last year a two-and-a-half year prison term he currently serves.

John Isner back in Miami Open final.

Despite a change in venue, the Miami Open has a familiar look, with John Isner back in the final.

The defending champion moved closer to another title by hitting 21 aces Friday and defeating 18-year-old Canadian qualifier Felix Auger-Aliassime 7-6 (3), 7-6 (4).

Next is a Sunday showdown in the Miami Dolphins’ stadium, where the tournament moved this year from its longtime home of Key Biscayne.

“The venue is absolutely fantastic,” said Isner, a big football fan. “To play in the stadium – the Super Bowl will be here next year – it’s pretty amazing.”

Isner’s opponent in the final will be the winner of Friday night’s match between three-time champion Roger Federer and another Canadian teenager, 19-year-old Denis Shapovalov. Now 33, Isner won his only ATP Masters title a year ago on Key Biscayne.

“It’s amazing,” Isner told the crowd after his latest win. “I said before the tournament the chances were I would not defend my title. I’m very, very happy.”

The women’s final Saturday will match No. 5 Karolina Pliskova of the Czech Republic against No. 12 Ashleigh Barty of Australia.

Auger-Aliassime served for both sets in the semifinal, but Isner broke each time by taking advantage of double-faults, and then used his big serve to control the tiebreakers.

Nine of his 10 sets in the tournament have gone to a tiebreaker, and he has won each one. But Auger-Aliassime figured neither set should have gotten to that point.

“It’s a chance you can’t miss, serving two times for the set,” he said. “Just terrible.”

Auger-Aliassime, 5-0 previously against top 20 opponents, was the youngest male semifinalist in the tournament’s 35-year history. He’ll jump to a career-best No. 33 in next week’s rankings.

But he’ll need steadier play at pivotal moments to fulfill his potential as a future Grand Slam champion.

Isner lost serve for only the third time in the tournament to fall behind early. Auger-Aliassime served at 5-4 but double-faulted into the net three times, including on break point.

There was a repeat in the second set. Auger-Aliassime served at 5-3, double-faulted once and then hit a swinging volley into the net on break point.

The teenager blamed nerves.

“It’s like I caught a virus or something,” he said. “I couldn’t put a second serve in anymore. That’s just very tough to swallow.”

Each lapse led to a tiebreaker, where Isner has been unbeatable of late after arriving at Miami with a modest 7-10 record in tiebreakers this year.

He finished strong against Auger-Aliassime, whacking three aces in the final tiebreaker, the last on a 140 mph serve that was his fastest of the match.

“I’m playing well,” Isner said. “Keep it up and see what happens.”

Tony Robbins: Here's what brings more happiness than money.

Money alone isn't enough to make you happy.

But helping other people can give you long-lasting joy and the feeling of true wealth, according to life coach and self-made millionaire Tony Robbins.

"Lots of people get a billion dollars and they're not wealthy, because wealth is emotion, it's psychology, it's spirit, it's soul," Robbins tells CNBC Make It.

One of the "biggest mistakes" that people make, Robbins adds, is to obsess only over making money instead of on improving quality of life for themselves and the people they care about. 

"You think, 'I've got to make this money so my family will stay together or I've got to make this money so there's enough food…" Robbins says. He adds that this way of thinking is often described as a "scarcity mentality," where people believe that there isn't enough money to go around, so they obsess over the goal of clinging to money and objects while ignoring other sources of happiness like personal growth and relationships.

"Really, quality of life comes by finding a way to add more value to other people's lives," Robbins tells CNBC Make It.

Robbins notes that there is research that explores "what stimulates and sustains well-being and happiness, and the thing that does the least is buying things." In other words, obsessing over money and buying material objects might give you momentary pleasure, Robbins says, but that good feeling typically does not stick around for long after you've made a purchase.

"The [material things you buy] don't last, you get used to them," Robbins says. "What's more valuable, if you want happiness, is clearly being able to have experiences. When you buy experiences, they linger. A trip, the experiences, the emotions, all that."

An experience like a vacation might produce lasting memories that provide longer-lasting happiness, but that feeling still doesn't compare to making other people happy, according to Robbins. "When you buy something for yourself, the pleasure almost never lasts that long. If it's something huge, it doesn't even last that long..." he says. "Giving money away actually gives more joy than almost anything else on the planet."

If you want to be happy, Robbins' advice is to do something for another person today — you don't even have to know the person. Just test it out, see if it's true or if I'm full of it. Do something really unique, and don't do it to get [something], do it because you just want to give."

"There have been times when I've had nothing and I gave that money away, and the level of freedom it created in me ... I can't even describe to you verbally."

The pleasure that you derive from helping others can be life-changing, Robbins says. "You're going to find a giant shift, and that shift will change the way you do business, it will change the way you approach your family, it will change the way you feel about yourself and it'll give you the experience of wealth," he says.

My Story: Coric On That Win Over Federer.

 

 

Wall Of Fame Contest. From Alpha. Thanks.

ALPHA

TP, can we please have a suicide pool for Miami Winner gets WOF. If we have multiple winners, they get an honorable mention.

Note: Rules are simple.

Each round you must pick a man who will not lose in that round, and then you can't use that player again. So, don't pick Novak in R1 or R2 for you can't pick him again.

If anyone can survive all rounds, they'll get a WOF (Wall Of Fame) or HM (Honorable Mention) on the WOF if shared.

It's harder than you think -- there was no winner at IW.

Let's start with R2. Your pick must be in before R2 starts.

Please participate, ladies and gents.

It's fun, it'll keep you more involved, and maybe you'll get to say you beat Veglia, something very few people claim in WOF contests. Plus, you are not subject to TP's unique logic.

So, JOIN IN!

Draw here.

Wall Of Fame here.

What MOST weakens Federer's GOAT standing?

Leading by just three Slams with a realistic possibility of it shrinking further?

Trailing Masters total by six with a realistic............?

Leading WTF by just one with a realistic..............?

Failed to win Olympics - on grass - whereas some other clown won it on hard court - singles AND doubles?

Losing record against his two biggest rivals?

Don't think so.

How about this one?

At 38 he has a MUST WIN Slam - to just live - forget 'thrive'.

That's like being 80 and living in a card board.

If you have to fight for 'survival' THIS late in your career..............................?

Do you detect a pattern? Know what I am barking about? No, you don't!!!!

Got more?

Real Quiz Question.

There is something eerily similar between what has transpired over the last month and the Feb/March period in another year. Which year and why?

Gary is locked out for 48 hours. Sorry, mate, but let's give Veglia a chance to answer a real quiz. It's easier than it looks.

Wall Of Fame Contest.

Federer defeated FOUR world No. 1 players in his career.

Name them.

First correct answer = Wall Of Fame listing.

Winner / Correct answer: Monday, April 1, 2019.

 

First correct answer = Wall Of Fame listing.

Winner / Correct answer: Monday, April 1, 2019.

Photographic evidence Federer is suffering from severe mental disorder called chronic narcissism - not unlike 'someone else'.

1. He has his own freaking emoji.

NO ONE in the history of mankind, womankind, any-kind has even attempted this. EVEN Ali didn't have it. Heck, EVEN 'someone else' doesn't have it.

You see, when 'regular' shame factor is suspended from your make up, you are officially on chronic narcissism territory.

2. He has beyond irrefutably established himself as the SOREST loser in the history of sports. Heck, mankind.

You see, a normal human being does his best to force a gracious appearance despite the pain of loss seething underneath. It's outright embarrassing to act as a sore loser. NOT if you are a chronic narcissist.

3. Here's another BRAZEN exhibit of 'suspension of the shame' factor.

Not convinced? Try this:

Would YOU - if you were a pro tennis player (in your freaking dreams!!!!!) - wear this BS @ Wimbledon final?

4. Disrespectful towards women.

Think it's the ULTIMATE humiliation for a woman if she is kept hanging for TEN freaking years with NO sign of commitment? Heck, to add insult to injury he presented Mirka with some 'friends' or some such BS ring after about what seven years?

She had to use the pre-poked condom routine to gain some semblance of respect and dignity.

It's the 'suspension of the shame' factor in play - again.

 

5. Blatantly disrespectful towards his colleagues.

He called Nadal 'one dimensional'. Heck, he even called him a Mowgli!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He called Djokovic a porcupine for his spiky hair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you starting to see the parallel between 'someone else' and Federer already?

6. Logo.

NO ONE had this. Not even Ali. Heck, 'someone else' still doesn't have it.

Still not convinced?

Try this:

Federer WILL be running for President / Prime Minister or whatever BS they have @ Red Cross - not too many years after retirement. Do they have a porn star there? He will also have a MAJOR hair transplant surgery. Get a tan..................... Are we there yet????????????????????

Roger Federer believes his form is getting better each day at the Miami Open.

 

 

What can Federer do 'protect' GOAT status?

Put ALL his baskets in ONE egg?

He has lost the WTF and Masters battle.

He leads WTF by one. Djokovic - most probably - will at least match it, if not pass it with 'time' to spare.

Federer trails Masters by six. That's not freaking happening.

LONE basket that can now move the needle or keep it flickering dangerously is the freaking Slam total. Duh!!!!!

If Federer can stay ahead by even two on the Slam pole - with everything else around him disintegrating beyond recognition including weeks @ No. 1 - he may STILL be able to engage his nose length advantage to barely beat the other two clowns for the GOAT pedestal.

Translation: Win freaking 2019 Wimbledon AT ALL COST - legal or Tanya Harding.

With Nadal appearing increasingly vulnerable EVEN @ 2019 clay, No. 21 may be all he needs to stay ahead. Add the near impossible task Djokovic faces to get to No. 20.........

No. 20 for Federer is unsafe even with projected forecast for Nadal based on his recent 'withdrawals / losses'. That's still within range and Nadal will 'kill' for anything within 'access / bounds'. No. 21 - even though it's just one more - makes a difference for both Federer AND Nadal.

If Federer fails to win 2019 Wimbledon, he WILL be faulted for competing @ clay - specially if he loses due to fatigue or injury.

Bottom line: Juice @ 38 trumps ranking.
