Potęga Djokovica. Wielki sukces z glutenem w tle

Kluczem do wielkich sukcesów Novaka Djokovicia w obecnym sezonie jest zmiana diety. Serio. 23-letni Serb, który wygrał 24 mecze z rzędu, zdradził, że formę zawdzięcza lekarzowi - Igor Cetojević dokonał ważnego odkrycia: stwierdził, że Djoković jest uczulony na gluten.

Djoković to tegoroczny triumfator Australian Open, zwycięzca prestiżowych turniejów w Dubaju, Miami i Indian Wells. Serb jest nie do zatrzymania. Tenisista nie dał się pobić w kolejnych 24 meczach. Recepty na jego fantastyczną grę nie znaleźli ani Rafael Nadal, ani Roger Federer.

Serb przyznał teraz, że olbrzymi wpływ na jego formę miał specjalista żywienia, dietetyk Igor Cetojević, który dołączył do jego ekipy osiem miesięcy temu.

Igor wykonał doskonałą robotę. Zmienił moją dietę, odkrył, że jestem uczulony na gluten - stwierdził Djoković. Od miesięcy Serb nie je już produktów, w których w skład wchodzi gluten.

- Koniec z pizzą, makaronem czy chlebem. Straciłem trochę na wadze, ale to pomogło - jestem bardziej zwinny, czuję się doskonale - stwierdził zwycięzca Australian Open.

Tenisista podkreśla, że wokół siebie skonstruował idealny dla jego potrzeb sztab ludzi. Trenerzy, ich asystenci, medycy tworzą zespół, bez którego nie byłoby wielkich zwycięstw. Djoković: - Wiem, że jestem w stanie wygrywać z najlepszymi rakietami świata. Kiedyś było inaczej - jeżeli wychodziłem na kort przeciwko Federerowi czy Nadalowi traciłem swoje atuty przez brak konsekwencji. Nie potrafiłem utrzymać koncentracji, luzu psychicznego, pewności siebie.

Alergia na gluten czyli jeden dzień z życia Novaka Djokovicia

Dieta bezglutenowa polega na całkowitym wykluczeniu pokarmów z dodatkiem zbóż: pszenicy, jęczmienia i żyta. W jadłospisie alergika glutenowego powinny znajdować się produkty z kukurydzy, ryżu, kaszy, gryki, prosa, mąki ziemniaczanej czy mąki sojowej. Alergik nie może jeść zwykłego pieczywa i makaronu, kaszy manny i jęczmiennej, płatków owsianych, ciasta i słodyczy zawierających mąkę pszenną. Przykładowy jadłospis alergika powinien bazować więc na wyrobach mięsnych, warzywach i owocach.

DJOKOVIC: 'BEST FIVE MONTHS OF MY CAREER'

The numbers don’t lie – Novak Djokovic is enjoying one of the finest stretches in ATP World Tour history. Coming into the Mutua Madrid Open, the World No. 2 enters the event still undefeated in 2011 with 27 straight wins to start the season, and an overall win streak of 29 matches dating back to last December’s Davis Cup Final. “Well it´s no secret that it’s been the best five months of my career. I´m on a great streak and I definitely want to keep on going,” Djokovic said Tuesday during a press conference.

In addition to his budding confidence and improvements on serve this year, the Serb has been selective with his schedule thus far in 2011. He made his clay court debut last week at his home event in Belgrade, and feels it was the best possible way to prepare for the rest of the clay court swing. “I took some time off after Miami and I didn´t play in Monte Carlo so that gave me a couple of weeks to recover and really get ready for clay courts which actually require quite some time to get ready for,” evaluated Djokovic. “Then I went to my hometown, to my country, and played a couple of matches there. So far I´m feeling good and very motivated to keep on winning.”

In order to keep his undefeated run alive, Djokovic will most likely have to upstage the king of clay, Rafael Nadal, in the final, should both players come through their halves of the draw. They played one of the most memorable matches on clay in recent history two years ago in Madrid, a semi-final match Nadal won after the two expended over four hours on court. “Remembering that match, it was one of the best matches I’ve played on clay courts and that was, I think, the closest I got to beating Rafa on clay courts,” said Djokovic.

“It took me a while to recover after that loss. It was a really painful loss because I had three match points and it took four hours but on the other side, as I said, the nice memories are something that I keep from this tournament and this match, even though I lost it, I remember
it in a good way because I know I can play well here and I know I can beat top players if I’m
playing my game, if I’m having a good day – I just need to believe that.”

Djokovic has never defeated the Spaniard on clay in nine meetings, but is encouraged by what he’s achieved this year. “I didn’t think it was realistic to go without a loss in the first three-four months but it happened. I guess anything is possible if you really believe that you can achieve and if you’re fit, physically, if you’re mentally fresh and motivated and if you’re dedicated to the sport.

“This is something that I have been doing lately. I’ve been working very hard on my game, on my mental approach as well and my stability and now it´s paying off. There is no secret; it’s just something that I’ve been working on in the last couple of years playing on the tour. I knew that I had quality and I just need to get some things together and it’s happening right now.

Even though Djokovic is flying high with confidence, the 23 year old isn’t taking anything for granted. “I don´t really feel like talking about an eventual final against Rafa because there is a long way to go and there are many other great players who want to win this title as much as we do,” Djokovic explained. “I will just try to take one match at a time and we’ll see how far it can go.”

His first opponent in Madrid is Kevin Anderson, who has asserted himself as one of the most improved players on tour in 2011. The two have played twice before, splitting meetings in Miami, with Djokovic avenging his loss to the South African this year en route to the title. “He’s a big server and a very dangerous player to play against especially in these conditions because as we said, the ball flies very fast through the air here and for somebody who is that aggressive as he is, it’s quite suitable,” deemed Djokovic.

“A lot depends on me but also on his serve as well. If he serves very well and if he has a lot of efficiency on that serve, he can be very dangerous, so I expect a tough match.”

Djoković wygrał w tym roku 1/4 całego swojego dotychczasowego dorobku. Maj na starcie, a on ma już 6 tytułów.

Serb wygrał swój 8 turniej Masters w karierze, wyrównując wynik Thomasa Mustera:

19 - Nadal
17 - Agassi, Federer
11 - Sampras
8 - Muster, Djoković

Nole wygrał w tym sezonie już 32 kolejnych spotkań, a włącznie PD ma takich zwycięstw już 34.

Czy tylko mi się wydaje, że Nole jest sympatycznym gościem?

No wreszcie przedstawicielka płci pięknej, Witamy!

Tak, Novak to sympatyczny człowiek, w takim wydaniu podbił serca sympatyków tenisa w 2007 roku. Później jednak sporo stracił na licznych parodiach, co wielu zniechęciło do jego osoby. Czy słusznie? Moim zdaniem chyba nie.

1. 37 wygranych meczów z rzędu od początku roku (łącznie z PD z 2010 - 39)
2. 4 wygrane mastersy w tym sezonie
3. 7 tytułów
Ostro.

Nole wygrał turniej w Rzymie po raz 2 w karierze, łącznie ma już 9 zwycięstw w turniejach tej rangi. Plasuje go to na 5 miejscu listy wszech czasów:

19 - Rafael Nadal
17 - Andre Agassi, Roger Federer
11 - Pete Sampras
9 - Novak Djoković

DJOKOVIC BECOMES FIRST PLAYER TO QUALIFY FOR 2011 BARCLAYS ATP WORLD TOUR FINALS


Novak Djokovic has become the first
player to qualify for the Barclays
ATP World Tour Finals in November.

Serb qualifies for London as 2011 unbeaten streak continues

Novak Djokovic has sealed his qualification for the 2011 Barclays ATP World Tour Finals following his win over Rafael Nadal in the final of the Internazionali BNL d'Italia Sunday.

Djokovic's win in Rome adds another 1000 South African Airways 2011 ATP Rankings points to his 2011 points tally, meaning that the Serb is assured of his place at the season-ending finale, set to take place at The O2 in London from 20-27 November. Only the world's Top 8 players based on results in 2011 qualify to compete in the season's final showdown in London.

Djokovic qualifies for the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals for a fifth successive year. He captured the season-ending title in 2008 when it was held in Shanghai. Last year, Djokovic reached the semi-finals in London before losing to Federer. He has not lost a match since.

The Serb has enjoyed a remarkable run of form in 2011, capturing seven successive titles including the Australian Open in January and four ATP World Tour Masters 1000 titles. He heads into Roland Garros later this week with an incredible 37-0 match record so far this season.

Djokovic becomes only the second player to qualify for the season-ending event before Roland Garros since 1990 (Nadal also qualified before Roland Garros in 2009). Nadal retains his World No.1 ranking (based on the past 52 weeks) ahead of his title defense at Roland Garros, yet Djokovic’s results so far this year make him the current front runner to challenge for the 2011 year-end World No.1 crown, which could be determined at the last tournament of the season in London.

Czyżby najwcześniejszy awans w historii?

DJOKOVIC HOLDS NO. 1 DESTINY IN OWN HANDS


Novak Djokovic attended Fashion For Relief during the 64th Annual Cannes Film Festival Monday.

After his blazing start to 2011, Novak Djokovic will control his own destiny at Roland Garros in his quest to usurp the World No. 1 South African Airways ATP Ranking from Rafael Nadal.

Should the World No. 2 reach his first final at Roland Garros, he will overtake Nadal as the top-ranked player on the ATP World Tour, even if the Spaniard wins his sixth title. If Nadal fails to win the crown, Djokovic’s result is insignificant; any scenario featuring a Nadal loss puts Djokovic ahead of the Mallorcan [see chart below], regardless of the Serbian’s result.

At the start of the season, Djokovic was ranked third, behind Nadal and Roger Federer. He trailed Nadal by 6240 points and Federer by 2905 points. After winning the Australian Open, the year’s first four Masters 1000 events and two other titles, Djokovic is just 405 points behind Nadal, and has a 3275 point lead over his Swiss rival.

But the Serbian’s surge towards No. 1 started at the end of the 2010 season. After a disappointing loss to Federer in the semi-finals of the 2010 Barclays ATP World Tour Finals this past November, Djokovic  had an important event left to play the following week at home in Belgrade, the 2010 Davis Cup Final against formidable foe France.

Serbia overcame a 2-1 deficit to claim their first Davis Cup, large in part to Djokovic’s desire and commitment to showcase Serbia’s emergence as a world tennis power. During the tie, Djokovic displayed some of his best tennis in 2010 to defeat Gael Monfils and Gilles Simon, and was invigorated by the incredible dream he and his compatriots achieved. “Everything starts with the Davis Cup. I did have some changes but all these years I have been in a learning process of working hard, waiting for everything to come together,” Djokovic said Sunday in Rome.

So far this year, Djokovic has nine Top 5 victories, with four wins over Nadal, all Masters 1000 finals, three against Federer, two over Andy Murray, and one against Robin Soderling. “I had been winning major events before but did not have the consistency and did not have a great mental approach when I played big players,” said Djokovic.

“I was losing a little in the late stages of Grand Slams and important Masters 1000 events against Roger, against Rafa. I think this change from the Davis Cup title gave me an incredible energy really. Today I am definitely not thinking of losing a match and thinking only of winning.”

Djokovic is a two-time semi-finalist at Roland Garros, with his runs ended both times by eventual champion Nadal. Prior to his wins over the Spaniard at the Mutua Madrid Open and Internazionali BNL d’Italia, Djokovic was winless in nine meetings versus the World No. 1. “I am most happy about [my] game this year on clay,” the Serbian said. “The way I was fighting all the way I am confident and aware that I can win against the top players.”

Though he’s defeated Nadal on clay in back-to-back Masters 1000 finals, Djokovic still considers the 24-year-old Spaniard to be the favourite in Paris. “Let us be clear -- he is the king of clay and he is the best player ever to play on this surface,” Djokovic said about Nadal.

“I have won against him twice in the last [nine] days which I think is an incredible achievement for me and he has given me a lot of confidence for the French Open. But this is only a couple of tournaments this year and he has been dominant on this surface for so many years.”

If Djokovic wins the title at Roland Garros, he will tie Guillermo Vilas for the longest winning streak in the Open Era at 46 wins. An appearance in the final would also eclipse John McEnroe’s mark for most wins to start a season without a loss – McEnroe begin his 1984 season with 42 straight victories before losing a five-set thriller to Ivan Lendl in the Roland Garros final.“For me, it is an incredible honour to be part of the history in some ways and part of the elite of players like Federer and Nadal and McEnroe and Lendl and those players who have won many matches in a row,” said Djokovic.

Roland Garros begins this Sunday, 22 May, and Djokovic will rest for a few days before resuming his pursuit for a third Grand Slam title. “I am not going to touch the racquet for the next four days,” Djokovic admitted. “I have had enough for now and rest is very important right now to recover, and then [I’ll get] ready for Roland Garros, the most important tournament on this surface.”
