What we had seen in this game? It was obvious that Isner suffered a lot from the smart passing shots, diagonals and counter-attacks of the Serbian. Actually it was a game between two giants, not only big man , but tennis players who have that power in serving and hitting the ball, that they almost could kill some one. The interesting thing here is while I was watching Djokovic , I did see some of the best moves and tricks from his opponents now and during the years.

If you want to be a good tennis player, you have to move very soft, to hit hard and to be that fast with the legs, like Mohammad Ali in the previous times of like Mike Tyson, you have to be having string wings , which will move your legs right after the ball. Djokovic is a complex machine. He has everything and had learnt a lot during the past 5 years. Let’s me show you things from my point of view:

1. He was that precise and sharp as Federer in his young age. To be able to do and take best from the situation is very rare quality. This quality belongs simply to geniuses.
2. He is now strong enough as Nadal, Murry and Kevin Anderson. That power , gives hi the strength to control the game in every aspect and details, no matter if he is on losing or winning run.
3. His service became sharper and stronger and productive for aces. Boris Becker was a good player, obviously he is also one of the best trainers nowadays.
4. Concentration – I will tell you this way, the concentration of good players helps them to see situations and game as a whole from different angles. The same is in chess, football, poker, basketball. Djokovic is smart and intelligent enough to be good in some other sports ,not only in tennis.
5. 6-2 , 6-2 : when you see that result in tennis , you think that other player was injured or not motivated enough. The reason was that Djokovic is playing tennis from another dimension, from another universe.
6. People, fan and supporters like him a lot. I saw the crowd yesterday in Beijing, they were crazy about him. Around the big players, there is some kind of magic around them.
7. Let’s say big applause for Isner. He is not a bad tennis player. He is in the top of the standings for aces in tennis for all times. But when you have a perfectly shaped, conditioned and motivated machine- you are not able to do anything , than losing with a head up .

I was going to give you some football pick, but changed my mind, while I was thinking about the tennis game in Beijing. I am actually a fan of Nadal, but he will not soon be in the shape we are all used to see him in. The Serbian is born 575 km from where I am now writing this post and maybe we have something common. While I am sitting and writing the idea came to my mind. What we have in common is- passion.  He has it for playing and winning in tennis, I have it to write for those who inspire and provoke me to write each time for the best of mankind invention- sports. Keep being the best Nole, I feel sad about Nadal and Grigor Dimitov , but when we have geniuses and smart players, all we have to do is show  them respect and admiration.

I do not know about you, but when sports are played on grass it is a different feeling and emotion. There is some kind of miracle and a piece of magic when the ball hits the white lines on the grass i.e like in tennis, baseball,football, american football etc.

This tourney will answer many questions. Is Djokovic too good enough and will he have any competition till the final? Can Grigor Dimitrov make it to the semi-final, why not to the final? Is Federer too old and tired to make something to remember in London? When Nadal will show his great power and the skills we were used to see from him ? Will Sharapova be able to attack the second place in WTP standing? Will Petra Kvitova have the title again, as she did in 2014?

Let me tell you what my expectations are . I think that Djokovic will take the men’s title , as he is playing tennis from another planet. The choice he made , with exquisite trainer and former player Boris Beker, gave him all the discipline, sharp and strong hits , that guarantees number one place in the ranking for a long period. Grigor Dimitrov can do someting here, as he was Champion in the youth format of the tourney few years ago. Roger Federer will be the leader, sneaking in the shadows and trying to take the maximum here. Andy Murray has the advantage of the home crowd, which is not to be underestimated.

As per women, I have a doubt between Sharapova and Kvitova. Williams is not that good on grass. Much of the surprises in this tourney , I expect in the women pool.

About the doubles, I think Bryan brother will make their best effort to have the title this year. Their main competition will be the winning double from previous years : Vasek Pospisil and Jack Sock.

It will be a wonderful tourney, no one has a doubt about it. We will watch , bet and shout for our favorite tennis players. What I can wish you is never lose your focus and try to watch the tournament from the very singe game.

Take the best from this marvelous Sunday.
