其实Rog也这样默默打了七年了,默默来到34岁这个年龄
回味一下那时的耍白广告

那时也是整天被唱衰要退休这样。之所以会一直强调年龄,
是因为就网球而言,年过30还能打得这么好的,真的不多。
EVERY #1 player (13 players) since Lendl other than Agassi and their
aggregate accomplishments after turning 30: 其他13人
332 match wins 332场比赛
6 titles [One slam, USO] 6个冠军,一个大满贯
6 other finals made 6个决赛
1 slam final, 2 QFs 一个大满贯决赛,两个八强
Federer by himself: Rog自己就赢了
FEDERER
240 match wins 240场比赛
17 titles [including Wimbledon, WTF undefeated (oldest to win), Cincy 2X, IW,
Madrid, Shanghai) 17个冠军 [包括温网、年终赛全胜(且最老)、两个辛辛那提、
印地安全、马德里、上海]
14 other finals made 打进了14个决赛
Slam RU, 5 slam SFs made, 2 QF 大满贯盘子、五个大满贯四强、2个八强
Very few players win anything after turning 30, let alone after turning 33.
The fact that Federer is still playing at this level is anomalous. Still, he
is past his peak and past his prime, but still is highly competitive because
he's the best ever.
上面的数据比较,排除Agassi,我想是因为他生涯前期出赛并不稳定。
it is impressive, unbelievable, really, it also shows that it's difficult
to expect anything from players who have won slams and have reached #1 (and
have played a lot early in their careers), to win anything after 30. The fact
that he does makes him rather anomalous, but the exception doesn't discount
the rule.
上面红笔处我想是人性。底下就是一些有成就(有大满贯+世界第一)球员年过30的表现:
Edberg, Becker, Wilander, Courier, Rafter, Kuerten, Safin, Kafelnikov, and
Roddickwon about 85 matches TOTAL between them, respectively, after they
turned 30. They made TWO finals between them.
Safin, Rafter, Kafelnikov, and Guga didn't win any.
Moya did better and won about 80 matches and 1 title, got to 3 other finals.
Musterwon 45 matches and got to a final. JCF won 55 matches and 4 titles.
Sampras won one title (one BIG title) after turning 30, won 39 matches, and
made 3 other finals after turning 30. The players from the next generation
were taking turns beating him up including Fed, Safin, Mark Flip, Hewitt,
etc. In the current TMS (1000) era, Fed, Agassi and Lendl are the exceptions
as far as older players who could play against the next generation are
concerned.
然后回到这场罗马决赛,Djo的状态最好,是整个锦标以来最轻松的一场。
但 Rog 也不糟,虽然二发赢球率只有18趴!只有18趴!只有18趴!
追究其根本原因还是他的正拍。换了新拍后,反拍跟发球是变好了,
但以往的致命武器却退化了。所以导致底线相持时,他也没有任何优势。
不过身为一个挑战者,Djo 从去年美网后至今的几败(应该一只手可以数得出来),
34 岁的这位老人也贡献了两场。
他以前是大魔王,有众多后起之秀挑战他
物换星移,现在变成挑战大魔王,以年近 34 岁的高龄。
嘿,但也别忘了,四强他可是秋风扫落叶(以前最常形容他的四个字XD)晋级。
有些人可能认为与其如此不如不要换拍;
但我看到的是一个人愿意为了继续打下去,而做了改变。
知道因为年龄增长,待在底线并不会有任何优势,
所以换了大拍、开始拾回从小孕育他的技术:发球上网。
然后再想想 Rog 所拥有的一切,我除了感到不可思议与敬佩外,想不到别的。
但身为他的球迷,我有更多的感谢。
从 2008 年京奥到 2012 年的伦敦奥运,眼看明年奥运又要来了;
七年前他就不断被问退休这个问题,我只觉得一个人被同样问题烦这么久,
他不烦,记者怎么都不会问得烦呢?或者记者也跟我们一样,就是害怕那天来临。
It's not only his effortless, smooth, and wonderful to watch tennis that
makes Fed the GOAT. He's that once in a lifetime professional athlete who is
truly the total package. Thanks to him for playing still...hope it lasts much
longer and that more finals turn into trophies. Tennis will likely be over to
me once Roger moves on, and the entire sport will feel it, I'm sure. Same
journo's bringing up retirement over and over will be writing columns begging
for him to make a "comeback". Sad they don't realize that he's been doing
just that, in spectacular fashion, over and over for all to enjoy.
看到这边好像有点文题不符~
其实就是希望来个18啦!!去年温网已经很接近了,
Rog 还是很有竞争力的~
