Novak Djokovic the best male tennis player for 2011

“I am very pleased that I got this reward. Starting with the last years win on the Davis Cup in Serbia, the past 12 months were amazing. Since I was a little boy, my dream was to become world number one tennis player. But when you`ll win three Grand Slam tournaments and you will finish the year as a world number one tennis racquet on the ATP list, that feeling is really spectacular”, said Djokovic, who was not hiding the pleasure from the great year he had.

Petra Kvitova was very surprised. “This reward is like a cherry on the cake. I won Wimbledon, then the final tournament from the masters series, and in the end with the Tennis Representation from the Czech Republic we won the Fed Cup. With all these achievements, I went beyond my dreams, I will never forget this amazing year”. Congratulations to everybody, we are looking forward to the Australia Open 2012.

Recently, the world number two tennis racket attended the David Letterman late show.He went there to present his autobiography “Rafa”. The autobiography is written with John Carlin, and on the 250 pages, Rafa writes about his tennis career. He also reveals that he does not love animals. Very soon, the Armani campaign will be presented, and he is the main model.Check out how the interview went.

LOL…This Djokovic boy is unstoppable. After he retires from the tennis, he can build a career of this impersonations that he is constantly making for all the tennis players. But, his favorite is Maria Sharapova, so Head did a smart move, using this joke as a promotion of the new Head Youtek IG Instinct Racquet. Check out the video, it is really funny.

Today, Adidas released the photo shoot for the Fall/Winter 2011 Collection of Stella McCartney. The model of this photo shoot was of course the young Danish player Caroline Wozniacki. She has been promoting Stela McCartney`s models since 2009. Until then, Maria Kirilenko was the main promoter of Stella`s collections, but due to her constant loses, Adidas signed a new contract with Wozniacki. In 2009, she was the only female tennis player that was wearing the Adidas collection by Stela McCartney on the US Open. Although, these days, Caroline is not in a great shape (like the rest of the top 10 players), we hope that she will get back her form before the US Open. She is looking forward to this US Open, hoping that she will gain great results. Also, she said that is very satisfied with her new dress, especially with the material of the dress and the comfort that it brings. You can check out the photo shoot that took place in London. How i wish I was Caroline, everything looks incredible. Enjoy.

Today, Andy Roddick played against Philipp Kohlschreiber at the Western and Southern Open, where he lost his senses and lobbed a ball into the audience. He lost 6:7, 7:5, 6:1. When he lost the second set, Roddick got a warning about smashing his tennis racket, and at the beginning of the third set, he lobbed the ball into the audience, so the judge gave him a penalty point, and it was already 30: 40 for Kohlschreiber, so Andy Roddick lost the game. After that, he lost the match too. Not cool Roddick, not cool.

Today, Marcel Granollers won the Swiss Open in Gstaad. He managed to win over Fernando Verdasco in amazing three sets, 6-4,3-6,6-3. After Wimbledon, Granollers have had constant pains in his arm, so after that, he haven`t had any training at all. On Sunday he came at Gstaad, rested and ready to play, and amazingly he won the tournament. We noticed an improvement in his first serve which was one of the key factors that affected his game and his confidence during the game. The match wasn`t easy at all, because Verdasco is an amazing player. Although he is ranked better than Granollers, Verdasco did not win a tournament this year. Last time Granollers won an ATP tournament was back in 2008 in Houston. Congratulations on the new Swiss Open champion.

Maria Sharapova

The World No.5 Maria Sharapova will attend the major coup for the Brisbane International that will take place in Queensland. The 2011 Wimbledon finalist has never been to Brisbane, and she thinks that the attendance to this coup would be a good start for her. Cameron Pearson, the Director of the Brisbane International Tournament said that he is very delighted that the popular Russian tennis player Maria Sharapova will be part of 2012 Brisbane International. He claims that Sharapova will be extremly popular on this tournament, and the fans will be delighted to see her live.

In a spectacular show, the artist Jean-Pierre Blanchard did amazing painting of Roger Federer in four minutes. The portrait was done at the presentation of the SVC Enterpreneur Award in Zurich. Jean-Pierre is a great adimierer of Roger Federer. He said that he has a great face which is relatively easy to paint. The painting was put on auction and the highest bid came from Ernst & Young`s Thomas Sauber, who acquired the painting for 16.100 swiss francs. The money from this bid will go to the Foundation of Roger Federer that supports under-privileged children in Africa.

The 20 year old Canadian Milos Raonic, had a hip surgery after his injury on Wimbledon. He suffered a right hip injury in a second round match. Raonic was serving at 2-1 in the first set against Giller Muller, when he slipped on the grass, and after the break for medical attention, he continued, but after the first serve, he retired from the game. Today he had a surgery, and he is hoping to play on US Open. We hope so too. Raonic is currently ranked 26-th.

After winning Wimbledon, Novak Djokovic became officially World Number 1. And why is that so? Well, watching his game, we can notice that Novak became the best returner in the tennis game, which is proven by the fact that he has won 39% of the returns. Playing against Nadal in the finals, tells us that something has to be changed, and that is Nadals strategy, because Nole became unstoppable. Anyway, what I was trying to say is that now, when Novak became no.1 , Head announced a video in order to celebrate the victory of Novak Djokovic. Respect for them and respect for Nole, we salute you. Enjoy the video;)
