[swiss express]

hi to all the tennis lovers.im a newcomer and im absolutely excited to be able to join u guys and enjoy this sensational website.

and finally the prestigious masters 1000 kicked off on thursday.i just wanted to have a quick review of this tournament and share my ideas with u guys.by the way the reason i have turned into writing english is because im poor at typing persian and i didnt find finglish very suitable to the eyes or eye catching! so sorry for this.but i discovered that most of u guys are eager for the english commentary as i do (robby koenning and gason goode all!)so i guess u guys are familiar with english language.

to tell u the truth this is not my favorite tournament of masters one thousands.the condition is gusty and typically like dubai duty free its in the middle of desert.the courts seem to me pretty slow.esp cpmpared to a tpurnament like shanghai masters.but seems fair enough prior to the european clay cout circuit.and seems really a tough condition for rafa's knee.

but its a very happy hunting ground for matador and even better for the swiss maestro.at first i saw the draw i saw that novak is in a favorable stance.just like aussie open novak will avoid andy rafa and roger till the showpiece final.stanislas wawrinka seems really in form. and could be a potential QF opponent for roger.though big rog has an overwhelming head to head record against current world number three.rog has to play against the winner between nishikori who beat roger in last year's madrid third round while roger was defending champ or the rejuvinated veteran tommy haas who could have beat roger in both cincy and halle last year.actually took a set off rog in both those matches.

novak has an easier road.in form marin cilic is no threat to nole for my money.and the lucky serb will only play against one of these guys at the semis:thomas berdych or little big john isner or grigor dimitrov or earnest gulbis.but its not all sweet things for the serb as delpo could meet him at the QF.though juan martin picked up an injury at dubai championship against samdev devarman.

on the other hand british number one andy murray has struggled since his minor back injury.for me the serve has dropped since then.lost to cilic at rotterdon and to dimitrov at acapulco prior to this tournament.

if it gets gusty im sure it would be to roger's advantage.he play perfect tennis in windy conditions. but rafa and novak and esp murray will be in trouble.i remember in 2009 the situation was absolutely windy and rafael handled the situation very incredibly but murray couldnt do that and he even used some swear words which the umpire gave him a warning.

but fed express handled the situation perfectly at us open 2010 against robin soderling(may rest in peace!) and if memory serves me right fired down 17 aces.absolutely tough to serve an ace in that condition

i remember in 2012 whem murray won his maiden major ,en route to his title he beat berdych at the semis in a very gusty condition which berdych said at the press conference it wasnt tennis at all!.for me nobody can handle the situation better than roger.even though rafa thrashed murray 61 62 in 2009 final but roger beat nadal in straight sets in another windy match in 2012 64 63 which he won the title eventually .(beat isner)nadal was absolutely furious at the windy conditions.

novak has a lot of problems in these conditions.he was struggling against david ferrer in 2012 us open semi final which he drpped the intial st 62.but the rain saved his skin.david is one of those guys who can control the situation well on a windy day.


nadal was on the verge of losing his second round match,though he bounced back to save triple break points against a 35 year old opponent who has never beat him before.though radek stepanek made some troubles for roger at dubai too,but for me nadal always struggles at the beginning of this tournament but if he avoids an early exit then he will be a major threat it seems as if he needs matches under his belt esp at hard courts.just like last year when he dropped a set to gulbis and won the deciding set 75...

so i you are a roger federer's fan keep praying that he loses his matches against either alexander dolgopolov or gael monfils or andy murray and matbe milos raonic.because if he makes it to the semis roger could be in major troube.though first he needs to take care of his own section,overcoming a potential tommy haas and at the QF against stan the man.or if it gets windy roger could have the upperhand against the spaniard.

roger has had a very strong season till now considering his age the change of racquet and emotional stuff.beating novak was incredible and probably should've won brisbane.beating andy at melbourne,for me the new racquet with a bigger racquet head is helping the former world number one with his bachhand and definitely his serve.

as u guys know that roger was exempted from military service because of his back problem when he was a junior.though he has enjoyed a free-injury career ,the back pained him all the way throughout the last season.so this new black racquet has helped him with easier serves(he said this himself at aussie open to jim courier after one of his matches)

for me the serve is the key and fundamental to roger's game.in recent years he has decreased the speed of the serve to go for percentage.and that had proved fruitless.in his older days when he was unplayable as robby called him his serve was rock solid .last year robby said that for me the serve has been dominant during roger's downfall!but i strongly refute this idea.just watch one of roger's older matches esp the 2005 us open final against andre agassi.the serve is merciless.or 2012 wimbledon final and even semi final against murray and djokovic respectively.against murray in the final in that indoors situation which helped rog the serve was a huge monster.the serve simply wasnt working las year.though the foot work and the movement were poor as a result of incessant back injuries as well.

anyway sorry for disturbing u guys .lucky are those who can watch the matches right now.unfortunately after jsc sports 2 vanished into thin air!!i cant watch tennis matches anymore.any ideas?where can i find super tennis hd?is it free or scrambled?it used to exist at hotbird but probably it was too hot there and the bird flew out the cuckoo's nest!sorry for being too garrulous.
