For months now, I’d also heard rumors that Ivan was struggling with his change of rackets (he abandoned his Babolat Pure Drive for the Head Extreme in January of 2007). This turns out to be true, or at least partially so. As Ivan likes to point out, he beat Andy Murray in the final of Doha in the first event he played with the Extreme, and that the new racket performed well in every way that could be quantified.
“My best shot is my serve. If my serve is working, I am not complaining. If my production of aces really went down or something, sure, there’s a problem. But one thing was that the racket was not helping me on clay, even though I never focused my effort on the clay-court season."
...“I feel the way I was feeling two, three years ago. I’m feeling like a top ten player again.” His most memorable moment after getting back to France was not a big party or celebrity meeting or finding himself swamped by cameras, but the reaction he got from the crowd when playing his first post-Australian match in France at the ATP event in Marseille. ""When I was out on the court, the crowd was like this [waving hands and going 'ahhh'] for ten minutes," he said. "Standing ovation."
The 28-year-old Spaniard is a decade past his appearance in the French Open junior final, and the nearly five years away from the best summer of his life, when he won the Roland Garros title, reached the fourth round of Wimbledon and the US Open final and briefly became No. 1. That year, he won four of his 11 career titles. Shockingly, he hasn't won one since.
...Hantuchova did a terrific job against Mirza, controlling the court with her forehand and serving hard and accurate to the small and elusive spots. Her two-handed backhand is still her money shot, but the Sanchez-Casal coaches have done an admirable job shortening the back swing of her forehand and now she's much more comfortable off that wing. "I feel I've improved it so much since I started to work with Angel, and I've been able to put more spin on it, especially when I needed to. I was able to, especially today, to just make it to the quarters before where I made mistakes and make it more difficult for myself in the matches. Having a bigger forehand definitely takes the pressure from my backhand away"
The split didn’t []breach any contract since Connors was being paid on a weekly basis. The split follows a pattern in recent years with Roddick, whose earnest but edgy personality can wear thin over time. His hyper mind also gives him a wandering eye for coaches. And the reality is that Roddick’s brother, John, has been his real coach for the past 1-2 years, even with Connors on board.
“Like with Brad[], Andy got inspired for a few months” and then the relationship just wore down, said the source. Unlike the breakup with Gilbert, there are few hard feelings. Connors’ family (but not Jimmy) was here this week attending matches.
...But some of it is worth listening to. "Actually, I am reading a book about Freud psychology at the moment," Ivanovic said in answer to a question about her favorite philosophers. "It’s really interesting how the mind works and how it forms itself, actually. I think it’s great because we get a chance to see so many different people and different cultures so you get to know the personalities and you can judge more and more efficiently how good the person is and what are their actual feelings and thoughts."
But Ivanovic thinks her reading is helping her understand herself as well. "Obviously I’m a very emotional person and always, even when I am on court I think so much. It actually helps me control my own emotions."
Seles announced her retirement last month and yesterday made her debut on the television show. Davenport, meanwhile, is rounding up support for the former champion among WTA tour players.
"When I was playing against Federer in Dubai, I had no nerves at all," he said, looking perplexed.
"Maybe it was a nerves thing this time, I have no idea, but it's something that I don't want to have happen again.["] There is a real family feel in this desert idyll, Jamie and Andy’s grandparents, Roy and Shirley, are here (which is probably why Andy’s oaths in his first-round match were caught beneath his breath) and their uncle and aunt are flying in from Dallas. “Not many guys have family on the road with them and not many have a brother playing at the same level of tournament who can understand what you are going through,” Jamie says. “It can be really lonely out there for the singles guys and I hope that having me around relaxes Andy a bit. In the other evening match on the women's side, No. 1 Ana Ivanovic out lasted France's Francesca Schiavone, 2-6, 7-5, 6-2.
"In the first set," Ivanovic said, "I had a lot of mis-hits, but I think I fought pretty well. In the third set, I basically played point by point and didn't think about the score too much." She may have been on to something. "Anything can happen" appeared to be a running theme in the interview room. Third-seeded Jelena Jankovic, who is suffering from a cold, was told she "sounded sexier." A good guess: That probably didn't happen to Federer when he was sick with mononucleosis earlier this year.
But Jankovic has considerable game. "Sounds sexier? I don't want to sound sexy. I just want to feel healthy," she said. "No, I don't know. Maybe that's true. Actually, I've been getting a lot of guys lately."
On Tuesday, Sharapova needed to tough it out against No. 15 Alona Bondarenko, 6-2, 5-7, 6-4. Bondarenko broke the former No. 1's serve to push it to a third set - just the third time in 17 matches this year that Sharapova had dropped a set.
"I had a couple of three-setters in Doha, but the conditions there and here are completely different," said Sharapova. "The ball bounces a lot higher over here, the court is different.
"I felt like I was pretty close to being down and out, because I wasn't able to produce good points for a long period of time (against Bondarenko). I would play a good game, I would get down again and then I would miss three returns in a row."
As for regaining his title at the Pacific Life Open, Federer thinks the player to beat is defending champion Rafael Nadal, the second-ranked player in the world.
"After I lost here last year, I remember I was thinking, 'Well, if Rafa doesn't win here, something's wrong', and he did. He didn't lose a set," Federer said. "I expect him to do similar things here again this year."
"But my forehand is starting to come around and starting to feel pretty confident. When it does, I can hit it real well like tonight and try to dictate play. I'll try to do the same thing."
"It was a tough match," Ivanovic said. "In the first set, I had quite a few miss hits and I was disappointed, but I fought well. In the second set, I started to play better.
"She really didn't drop her level much. We had a good point at 15-0 (at 5-5 in the second), and then she had two double faults and I saw my opportunity."
Prior to Miami, Mirza plans to get an MRI as a precaution on the wrist.
..."It's very hard for me because I'm almost defying nature every time I hit a forehand because I'm going in a very weird way because I have a very extreme grip," Mirza said. "Usually it doesn't get this sore, so I'm a little worried right now. Usually, it gets sore and then it gets OK when I ice and do whatever I have to do."
Roddick has already had that opportunity. In 2004, he lost in the third round in Athens, Greece.
"Some guys really don't care that much," he said at the time. "I cared a lot. It's not the biggest thing in our sport, but it's the biggest thing in sports."
"We just talked about basic stuff," Kuznetsova said. "For me it's a huge compliment what he said, and I still think about it, like, 'Oh my god, did he really say that?' Then I'm like, 'I can get some tips from him.' But I was just too shy to ask."
"I have a game where I can choose between different things to do, whether I stay back, whether I come in, whether I do a little bit of everything," she said. " I felt that I spend most of the time finding how to use these weapons at the right moments, making the right choices. I feel that, for example on today's match, I make 70% of the time the wrong choice on the court. So it makes it pretty difficult, the building of these right choices.”
Sania Mirza scored one of her biggest wins of the season with 6-7 (7), 7-5, 6-3 win over Shahar Peer, her fourth win over the Israel’s in as many attempts. Mirza told TennisReporters.net after the match that the complaint lodged against her in an Indian court for going barefoot near an Indian flag in Perth was thrown out of court. She says she’s very relieved.
Roddick will now head home to Austin, Texas to practice for Miami and watch March Madness. But, before he went, he did admit it was slightly strange to his see his old coach, Dean Goldfine, in the Haas camp. "But that’s fine," he said. "I’ve always had a lot of respect for Dean and it’s good to see him back."
...A replacement sponsor may not be the only major change that the LTA will announce in the coming weeks. Draper hinted recently that there may be other changes in the pre-Wimbledon schedule, although Queen's looks certain to remain the jewel in the crown. "It's really not the best thing for your mum and dad to read in the paper that you're fighting and not getting on with each other," Andy said.
When Murray did click, he made the game look effortlessly easy, as is his wont. But his first-serve percentage, an element he is striving to improve, was still not high enough to make him entirely confident about the rest of his game. He had better hope his returns are grooved in the third round, where he faces Ivo Karlovic, the 6ft 10in Croat, who he admitted would be a tough proposition “especially if the wind kicks up again”.
"We want to clarify that our intention is to be here for a number of years," Arrix said.
This year, physical vulnerability has been a real issue for Federer, who came down with mononucleosis. Still he had his limits, drawing the line at hospitalization.
"They wanted to keep me there," Federer said. "But I said, 'Roger Federer doesn't stay in the hospital for this.' If I have a problem, I'll come back, but let me first get worse."
As for last year's loss, Federer mentioned how difficult it was to go out so early and have almost "two weeks to kill" before the next event in Miami and spoke about what had happened to Roddick here.
"I struggled with that this week in practice and I don't know if I ever got comfortable on second-serve returns. I don't feel like I hit the ball badly. I maybe didn't play as well as I should have on the points I should have won on."
So while Roddick continued his career struggle against the 29-year-old German, who is coming off his third shoulder surgery, Haas utilized 10 forehand winners and 12 backhand winners to stay on top. Haas now has a 7-3 career record against the 25-year-old American, who is ranked No. 6 in the world. "I still think he's got the best serve in the game," said Haas, who along with Roddick committed 28 unforced errors. "When his first serve is coming at you 135-140 miles an hour and has placement on it, I don't think (Croatian Ivo) Karlovic or (American John) Isner's serve can compete with that, in my opinion.
"He's just a great competitor. He really makes you win every point and I think for some reason the matchup with my game against his matches good."
"I like to play here. I never get a good result, but I like the condition," Nalbandian said. "The court is good, balls are good, everything is perfect, but I don't play good enough. I try. I feel I play good, just not today."
Mirza also had a three-set victory over Olga Savchuk in the second round.
"I probably could have gone on," Mirza said. "I wasn't like dead tired, and I was still running down balls. I wasn't feeling like I wanted to collapse on the court, which is a very good sign for me."
"Yeah, he always warns me, but …" Sharapova said, just before describing the first time she saw Djokovic's impersonation.
Sharapova was having dinner at home with her family, watching the U.S. Open when she caught a glimpse of the imitation.
"My mom was like, 'Do you see what he's going?'" she said. "I'm like, 'Yes, mom, it's right in front of me,' as we're eating our steak. That was the first time I actually saw it was at the U.S. Open when I was at home watching tennis on TV, which was quite sad at the time. I saw him do it once; that's enough."
..."It gives me more confidence that I did come through (the injuries)," she said. "If I ever do have a serious injury again or if I do have any gaps, some frustrating losses or I don't produce the kind of tennis I know I can produce, I know that I can come back and play even better tennis than I did before

Great Shoes
- Peter Bodo, TennisWorld
“I was always putting a lot of pressure on myself, but also feeling the pressure from others, especially when I was close to the top. Everything under the semifinals was bad – it’s really difficult to start off a Grand Slam with that idea, that if I don’t make semis, it’s bad. Now, nobody has high expectations, and I am really focused and enjoying the tennis much more.”
Practice Makes Half-Perfect
- Steve Tignor, Tennis.com
On the positive side, they showed off the best aspects of a match that contrasts baseliner and serve and volleyer—Stepanek exploited Nalbandian’s two-hander by kicking his serve wide and coming in (one-two); Nalbandian punished any volley that Stepanek left hanging (boom). Stepanek lost and regained his forehand five times, double-faulted at just the wrong moments, but kept coming forward. Nalbandian was his usual wildly up and down self. Two points from losing the match on his serve at 3-5 in the third, he suddenly won nine straight points and forced a tiebreaker
Getting There from Here

Tsonga frames playing were in terms of being "there" -- being "there" on the court, being "there" with his tennis... "I like this and I play with this because for me tennis is a big show," he said. "I don't know, if I play without crowd, I don't go on the court [mentally]. So I do everything to have the crowd with me."

Roddick and Connors: Two Inflexible Forces
- Douglas Robson, Sports Dish
In a nutshell, Roddick wanted to stop in New York City on his way back so he could spend time with his squeeze, the blonde S.I. swimsuit model Brooklyn Decker. He asked Jimbo to come to the Big Apple to train. Connors told Andy he preferred him to come to his home in Montecito. It was a good old-fashioned standoff. Neither would budge. Not hard to imagine, is it: Two bull-headed champs standing their ground. Vexed that Connors wouldn’t be more “flexible” considering the princely sum he was paying the eight-time champ from East St. Louis, Ill., the two had a longer conversation about their working relationship, travel, commitment. One thing led to another and…Kaput.

Certainly he was in his element today and it showed. "I’ve always enjoyed playing against the Frenchman," he said. "They have good techniques, playing style, unbelievable shot making. It sometimes tends to be a bit easier playing against them. They make you play better tennis than, for instance, the Spaniards who are just going to throw the ball into play."
Murray loses temper again as he strives for perfection
- Eleanor Preston, The Guardian
"I was disappointed with my attitude during the match," said Murray, who will play Tommy Haas in the fourth round at around 10pm GMT tonight. "I was getting really angry and I haven't done that this year. I was just in a bad frame of mind. I used to do it a lot when I was younger. It's pretty immature and something that is not very professional. I want to make sure that that's something that I get out of my game, because when you play against the best players, you need to be focused the whole way through the matches.["]

Davenport beats Bartoli to advance at Indian Wells
- Bill Dwyre, Los Angeles Times
Now, like somebody in a rush to catch a bus, she broke Bartoli at love, then served three aces at 6-5 and got the match point with a 109 mile-an-hour first serve and a forehand winner off Bartoli's return. Davenport's next match will be a real test. She will face No. 3 Jelena Jankovic of Serbia.
Federer conquers the French again

Unfamiliarity with Bondarenko, whom she'd never played, may have prolonged Sharapova's discomfort. That won't be a problem against Hantuchova. Sharapova is 6-1 against the Slovakian. "She's playing obviously in great form, so it will be a good test for me," said Hantuchova, who beat Sania Mirza, 6-1, 7-6 (4). "I feel like I own this place. I'm here and anything can happen."

Now she’s fallen back into her retro Amelie personality — not knowing where she is, what she should be doing and why she is about to skid out of the top 30. It’s a sad process to watch, because she is without question one off the most thoughtful, considerate and interesting players in the game. But if the 28-year-old Frenchwoman is taking shocking 6-2, 6-2 defeats to Alona Bondarenko, you know she’s in brig trouble.

Andy Murray overcomes initial troubles by giving himself a good talking to
- Neil Harman, The Times
So he was, for Murray turned the match on its head and it was Melzer, a durable left-hander ranked No 85 in the world, who was left to curse his inadequacies. Melzer had caught the Scot’s disease, an overindulgence of the drop shot, which he played poorly and at daft moments. Murray’s first break of serve, ridding him of much negativity, was donated by a reckless backhand drop shot on break point.

They added another title in Paris, but after playing 12 doubles matches - and winning 11 - in less than five weeks, they needed a break.
So Alona Bondarenko took two weeks off, not playing doubles in Doha and Dubai.
Sunday afternoon, Bondarenko made quick work of former No. 1 Amelie Mauresmo 6-1, 6-2 in their third-round match, assuring the 24-year-old Ukrainian her best finish at thePacific Life Open.
