Bernard Tomic, On a huge stage in the biggest game of his young career against the best player in the world, “Bernard Tomic”prévue all doubts to rest. Although predictable, beaten by world number one Rafael Nadal in a third round of the Australian Open, Tomic delivered on the hype that has shadow for years.

At 18, Tomic categorically proved he is the face of the future with a 6-2 7-5 6-3 defeat. It is just as good as it has long boasted of being. And will eventually become. Tomic was shoulder to shoulder with the French champion, Wimbledon and U.S. Open, more than holding his own.

Nadal was clearly impressed with his young opponent, applauding Tomic off the court and then win the unqualified praise.

“It is this kind of player, he makes you play bad,” Nadal said.

“I think he is improving every year. If he keeps improving like that, he will have the chance to be in the top positions.

“It will improve many things and I’m sure he’ll be a big rival.”

When Nadal shook hands at the net after match with Tomic, he told the youth: “Very good game, keep working hard in the future.

“This is an advice I’ll take him,” smiled Tomic.

“I played a superb match. Overall I’m pretty happy.”

Tomic Nadal described, “Physically-wise, he has the machine you use.

“But I’m really happy with how I played.”

He revealed that he could not sleep Friday night because of nerves.

Not that he has shown.

Production magnificent forehand cross, striped lapels and mesmerizing rhythm changes, Tomic defied pre-match predictions, it would be wiped off the court.

The most popular game at Melbourne Park before Tomic led Nadal on Rod Laver Arena was to guess the number of games Tomic would win.

The assumption of an average nine games.

And by the end of a series of first 44 minutes, this estimate may have been excessive.

As impressive as Tomic had been holding his ground on the baseline against the Warrior backcourt harder in tennis, there was a palpable sense that he was in danger of being razed.

This theory was shot on the head hitting a remarkable opening to the second round when Tomic twice broke Nadal with providing gorgeous forehand winner and stole a 4-0 lead.

The poor did not help cause of world champion Rafael Nadal, but Tomic was not only in all – it is now in the game.

Nadal switched rackets in frustration and suddenly had Tomic interference. Tomic lost serve twice in as many attempts as Nadal reaffirmed his authority.

Almost inevitably, Tomic ground Nadal into submission as the Gold Coaster is getting tired.

Intimidating and very phyiscal, Nadal has led to Tomic with the power of brands and intensity to pocket an entire 55-second minute.

Ahead by two sets to love, the Mallorcan proposes to turn the screw.

Tomic move around the court, Nadal broke serve in the first game of the third set, as the young Australian wilted slightly.

By winning games xx Tomic claimed more games in the shock of 150 minutes of Marcos Daniel and Ryan Sweeting succeeded in two games (four games).

Davis Cup captain Pat Rafter observed pre-game, the score was irrelevant.

Tomic has proved that he belonged at least as a legitimate turn. It is not yet a member of the elite, despite the widespread belief that it will end there, sooner or later.

That’s what “Bernard Tomic”réussi tonight, even if it has become the latest local bow out of Australian Open after losing Sam Stosur shock on hours of Rod Laver Arena earlier. It is a rare boast given the continued excellence of the Spaniard.

Much better Tomic Australian Open campaign ended 6-2 7-5 6-3, it was the game he played at 4-all that surprised the No. 1 worldwide. Three aces and an unreturnable serve. Nadal turned to his uncle, Tony the man who led at nine Grand Slam titles, smiled and shook his head. The kid has something.

Tomic is showed in claiming the first four games of the series, when he was the champion of under immense pressure. Before the match, Tomic said he felt Nadal would find his style _ a mix of balls out rhythm, drop shots and speed changes – uncomfortable.

This was certainly the case as the 18-year-old moved within range of at least takes a set from Nadal. Tomic played so well, Nadal felt compelled to abandon the comfort of the baseline for the network to earn points.

Only a poor service game to 4-0, which stressed that the experience helped Tomic and Nadal again in this set.

Before the match, Nadal said he thought the match would go at least four sets.

“We will try to win the third is what I thought,” he said.

“He is one of those types of players that make you play badly. His position on the ground is perfect. It is very difficult to pass from the baseline.”

The third set, too, is encouraging, even if the score does not indicate that. Tomic was broken in the first game and it seemed likely Nadal could easily close the match.

Instead, the Gold Coast teenager was working extensively on his first service game and had a number of possibilities to 2-1 to get the break, only for Nadal to find an answer, as he has done for most of the last four seasons.

Nadal, however, is more convinced than ever that Tomic is capable of reaching the highest echelons of sport?

“I think he is improving every year a large number. If he is able to continue practicing, he’ll have a good chance of being in the top positions soon,” he said.

“Every time will be increasingly difficult. He is very young and will improve many things. I’m sure he’ll be a big rival. ”

But for all the athletic Monfils and style, was devastated by not one but two opponents in the quarterfinal: No. 3 Novak Djokovic and wind Flushing. When Djokovic was not strong Monfils from the comfort of the baseline, the lanky Frenchman battled windy conditions all afternoon.

“A good experience, but the wind like this for me is very hard. You can not beat the way you want,” said Monfils.

Djokovic advanced to his fourth straight U.S. semifinal Open with a convincing, 7-6 (2), 6-1, 6-2. The Serb will face Roger Federer, who has beaten him every one of the last three years – twice in the semifinals and once in the Open final (2007).

After an animated series in which first approached forced a tiebreaker 4-2 and then broke Monfils in the last two sets. He hit forehands long or wide. Had repeatedly blown away service launches as ping-pong balls. And he ran out of steam jet, while Djokovic away from the baseline, or charged to the network.

Mirka Federer, Mirka Federer’s wife gave birth to twins in July 2009 but since then the Swiss has won his sixteenth Grand Slam in Melbourne and was sixth last year’s U.S. Open final succession.

Federer has looked in his way of winning the Australia Open so far at Flushing Meadows, apart from Robin Soderling et al, without dropping a set en route to the semifinals.

“I have the same fire, the same unit,” said Federer. “I thought it (having children) might have little impact on my agenda, may play less, have an impact on how I practiced. But it is so well established. Mirka looks so great. I can put my practice whenever you want. Yet I have enough time to spend with family. The transition was very smooth and I am very happy about that, of course. ”

Federer also revealed that the uncertainty about the financial security also means that tennis players tend to marry much later than other athletes, particularly football players.

“I suppose in soccer boys are married and have children much faster than in tennis,” reflected the Swiss. “In tennis, often economically you’re never safe. Injury can strike at any time. You do not have a five-year contract. It is the day largely live by day. We’re not in a place like an as football players are the best. You have a tendency to marry later and later in his career starting to maybe not play so well. “

Djokovic

Djokovic, Djokovic won 7-6 (2), 6-1, 6-2, but equally we could say that Monfils lost twice: one for Djokovic, and once himself. Addressed early in the match, before he decided it was not enough to win a victory. Had to look good doing it.

Exhibit A: The attempt to Monfils in a shot between his legs. It differed from Roger Federer reached last week that it was not necessary and did not work. Monfils facing the network, and the ball, at that time. When the ball was coming, he jumped in the air, caught his racket by-and-then-under his leg and knocked the ball between his legs … on the network. In a statement, reportedly brought warm applause for a good try. In a real match with a semifinal on the line should be drawn boos. Monfils, who said he had never played in windier conditions, claimed the shooting was more necessary than might have looked.

“I was very fast and I was leaning the other way,” he said. “The ball came and left me and tried to do it.”

In the third set, attempted a leaping forehand back to the network, turning on the air. At that time, the game was almost over.

Monfils will not yield a happy man Roger Rasheed. Monfils coaching Rasheed has two and a half years. Before the game, “said Monfils had not achieved half of what it could if it adopted a better tactic.

“It’s a work in progress,” said Rasheed. “We hope to see the complete package at some point.”

Unlike Monfils, Djokovic has not tried anything fancy this tournament. He had a slow start in the first round. But since then, has remained constant with the simple, robust, economic courts day after day. Minimizing the effects of wind on his shots volleyed more than usual (he won 40 of 59 criteria). Of course, he did much to too many errors (50) and aces very few (one) – certainly ugly numbers. But sometimes ugly is not the worst thing to be.
