De Belgische hoop op de US OPEN 2010

Geschreven door Filip Dewulf

We zijn daarstraks naar de Belgische hoop in niet zo bange dagen gaan kijken. Joris De Loore (17) en (16) speelden naast elkaar in de eerste ronde van het juniorentornooi. Eigelijk zouden we ons van enig commentaar moeten onthouden want uiteindelijk hebben die jongens nog kilo's boterhammen te eten maar goed, we laten ons gaan.

We zijn te spreken over Bruggeling De Loore. Niet alleen omdat hij door onze vriend Johan Van Herck begeleid wordt maar ook omdat zijn tennis en zijn stijl heel hard op die van Aaron Krickstein lijkt. Voor de jongere lezertjes onder u: Krickstein is nog altijd de jongste speler ooit die een ATP-tornooi op zijn naam kon schrijven, hij deed dat op zestienjarige leeftijd (één jaar jonger dan De Loore) en was ook de jongste speler ooit die in de top tien binnenkwam. Bovendien deed hij dat met een ietwat verdedigend maar wel doordacht baselinetennis dat de moeite was om te volgen.

U begrijpt dat wij best wel opgezet zijn met de stijl van De Loore. Voor een junior behoudt hij heel veel controle over de bal en het punt, bouwt goed op en heeft hij veel techniek in huis. Hij moest vandaag wel tegen een ongeleid, Hongaars projectiel maar deed dat meer dan behoorlijk.. Het was steevast met verstandig tennis dat hij de klus kon klaren. Wij zijn fan !

Eens temeer was duidelijk dat we in België technisch uitstekende spelers kunnen afleveren. Of we hen daarom over x aantal jaren in de top 100 kunnen ontvangen is een andere vraag. De weg is nog vreselijk lang en zal de volgende jaren langs veelal kleinere stationnetjes dan de U.S.Open gaan. Aan hen om onderweg niet te blijven hangen.

Cheers, Filip

ORANGE BOWL 2010

USTA Website

Also advancing to the Boys’ 18s singles semifinals were unseeded Alexios Halebian (Glendale, Calif.), No. 9 George Morgan of Great Britain and No. 7 Joris De Loore of Belgium, who upended tournament favorite Dominic Thiem.

Though he won two of the first five games played in the second set, Thiem retried from the match, thus ending his 15-match win streak on the ITF Junior Circuit.

On the other side of the net, De Loore was hitting powerfully and moving smoothly. He’s the only Boys’ 18s semifinalist yet to drop a set at the Dunlop Orange Bowl.

"I’m trying to keep my level up," said De Loore. "I feel good physically and I train hard on that, which is very important if you are big."

Excellent résultat de Joris De Loore qui s’est qualifié pour les demi-finales de l’Orange Bowl de tennis des 18 ans et moins, l’officieux championnat du monde. En quarts, il a battu la deuxième tête de série, l’Autrichien Dominic Thiem, qui restait sur 15 victoires d’affilée mais qui a été contraint à l’abandon pour des douleurs abdominales alors qu’il était mené par notre compatriote. En demi, Joris, 7ème tête de série, va jouer contre l’Anglais George Morgan, 9ème tête

6:2, 6:1, 6:2, 6:1, 6:2, 6:1, 6:2, 6:3, 6:2, 6:3 – Dominic Thiem blieb in den letzten fünf seiner 15 Spiele andauerndern Siegesserie völlig ungefährdet, „kein anderer Spieler macht hier einen so starken Eindruck wie Dominic“, sagt Vater Thiem. Ein so klares Resultat wie zuletzt ist im Viertelfinale nicht wirklich zu erwarten: Dominic trifft auf den starken Belgier Joris de Loore (ITF 24), Nummer eins seines Landes, im Achtelfinale klarer 6:4, 6:3-Sieger über jenen Mate Delic, der in der Vorwoche beim Eddie Herr-Cup gegen Dominic Thiem schon 6:3, 5:3 geführt hatte.

In quarterfinals, wins can take time EDDIE HERR: Three- hour matches are the rule of the day

By JIM BROCKMAN Correspondent

BRADENTON - The competition turned steeper and emotions ran deeper Friday as singles matches reached the quarterfinal round in the ninth day of the Eddie Herr International Junior Tennis Championships at IMG Academies.

RESULTS

For Friday's Eddie Herr results, see page 4C

Joris de Loore, who trains in Antwerp, Belgium, defeated Croatia's Mate Pavic, the tournament's top seed in the Boys 18-Under division, 6-3, 2-6, 7-6 (7-4 in the tiebreaker) in a match that lasted in excess of three hours. "The competition is heavier now," said de Loore, the No. 6 seed in his age group. "The earlier rounds before were not easy, but the quarterfinals is a round where you must be steady."

After failing on five match points, Pavic was shouting at the linesman and gesturing wildly as the match concluded.

"I just tried to keep the ball in," de Loore said with a shrug. "I didn't make many mistakes."

Direction La Manga, en compagnie de Joris De Loore posté le 15 décembre 2010 | Patrick Haumont . Le Soir .

Voilà, comme je vous l’avais expliqué dans un mail précédent, je m’envole ce matin pour Alicante et, de l’aéroport, je me rendrai à La Manga club rejoindre un groupe de l’AFT qui s’y entraîne pendant une dizaine de jours. Ce groupe est composé, entre autres, d’, , , Yannick Reuter, Reginald Willems, etc. 2 joueurs de la VTV sont également présents, et Joris De Loore. Je prends d’ailleurs l’avion avec Joris car, vu son excellent parcours à l’Orange Bowl, il n’a pas pu partir en même temps que les autres membres du groupe .

Interview with Reginald Willems on 20-12-2010 , former Davis Cup Captain .

Joris De Loore est également un de nos grands espoirs. Il vient d’atteindre les demi-finales de l’Orange Bowl et est 16ème junior mondial ?

Je le connais moins bien que les autres. J’ai vu ses résultats et ils sont excellents. Il a un très grand service, puissant et il gifle la balle en coup droit. Il a tout pour réussir mais il faut savoir que la transition entre les juniors et les séniors est très délicate. Mais je ne peux pas en dire davantage car, je le répète, je ne l’ai pas souvent vu jouer.

Blog de Patrick Haumont , journaliste Le Soir , de La Manga

Cet après-midi, j’ai assisté à l’entraînement de David Goffin, Yannick Mertens, Yannick Reuter, Germain Gigounon et Joris De Loore. L’objectif de cet après-midi était clairement de mettre les jeunes en situation de jeu. Et, surtout, de les faire jouer beaucoup de balles “dites de match”. En fait, ils ont joué beaucoup de points, mais en ayant des objectifs très courts, ce qui les mettaient (un peu) dans la situation de devoir jouer un point “décisif”.

En termes de vitesse de balle, ce sont David Goffin et Joris De Loore qui m’ont le plus impressionné. Il est vrai que le deuxième mesure dejà 1m86 alors qu’il n’a que dix-sept ans. “Mais je compte bien aller à 1m90….”.

JORIS DE LOORE OUSTS ROBERTO BAENA IN SECOND ROUND OF BOYS’ SINGLES – WIMBLEDON CHAMPIONSHIPS 2011

An unexpected outcome in Boys’ singles matchup at Wimbledon Championships was witnessed when the unseeded Belgian, Joris De Loore, defeated the sixth seed Spaniard, Roberto Carballes Baena in the second round of the draws.

Being played at Court 11 of the All Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in Wimbledon, London, England, the three-set thriller featured some high quality boys’ tennis from the two contestants. The Belgian took one hour and forty seven minutes to conclude victory at 1-6, 6-4, 6-4, to qualify for the third round of the tournament.

The contest was dominated by Baena in the initial stages but a dramatic turnaround from the unseeded Belgian took the following two sets away from his opponent to eject him out of the mega event. The Spaniard failed to sustain the winning momentum he generated by winning the opener and submitted two consecutive sets to De Loore to let him away with an easy victory.

The Belgium showed his tremendous abilities under extreme pressure from the opponent to recover from one-set deficit and then went on to win the contest later. His below par first serve of just 53 per cent earned him 31 out of 35 points in the match to give him the competitive advantage in the matchup against the sixth seed.

The Spanish cashed in two out of three break opportunities in the contest, while giving 12 chances to break serve to De Loore, who converted two of the break points en route to victory. 21 unforced errors were reported by the Belgian in the game, which also include five double faults, but he belted 34 thudding winners as well to compensate for them.

The opening set took off with the sixth seed Spaniard in a ballistic mood, breaking the Belgian’s serve two times and kept pushing his opponent out of the game. De Loore posed minimum resistance in the opener and frittered away four break opportunities with conversions to lose the first set at 1-6.

It appeared from the opening set that Baena will wrap up a straight sets victory in the second set but an unbelievable recovery from De Loore surprised everyone. The Belgian registered his first serve break of the day in the second set and then again in the third to bag victory at 6-4, 6-4.

De Loore made it into the third round of the tournament, where he will face Sean Berman of the United States for a berth in the quarter-finals of Wimbledon. JORIS DE LOORE DROWNS SEAN BERMAN TO REACH BOYS’ SINGLES QUARTERFINAL – WIMBLEDON CHAMPIONSHIPS 2011

(

Belgian domination continued in the Boys’ singles at the Wimbledon Championships, with Joris De Loore winning his third round encounter against Sean Berman of the United States on Wednesday afternoon.

The contest was played on Court 6 of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in Wimbledon, London, England, with De Loore qualifying for the quarter-finals of the Grand Slam event after a stiff fight with the American.

The competition appeared pretty one sided at the start but it gathered up pace in the later parts, ending with a nail biting finish. The Belgian took hold of the game by bagging the opening set early and it looked as if he will cruise through the next set with ease to dispose of Berman. The American hung in the second set for 48 minutes, giving some real tough time to Loore but eventually fell in the tie breaker round to end his voyage at the Wimbledon Championships.

Despite of a below par first serve of merely 52 per cent, De Loore secured 33 out of 38 first serve points and cracked in 16 thudding aces en route to victory. Only one serve break was seen in the entire contest and it came from the Belgian in the opening set of the matchup. Berman had four break opportunities on four different occasions in the match but his errant stroke play never allowed him to cash in even a single one of them.

Both boys conceded 25 unforced errors each in the contest but DeLoore compensated for it by belting 35 winners, with Berman following him with only 23 winners. The Belgian made frequent forays to the net to fire some elegant cross-court winners to put his opponent under pressure. 14 out of 21 times Loore was successful in his net approaches, continuing with his aggressive style of play against the bleak American opponent.

Both players remained tentative at the beginning of the opener but De Loore finally made the first move in the fifth game to register the only serve break of the match. After bagging the opening set 6-4, the Belgian faced some serious resistance from his opponent in the following set. Berman held his serve in all games to drag the game in to a tie breaker round but failed to sustain the momentum and eventually submitted the match to De Loore at 6- 7(3).

The Belgian will take on the 16th seed Australian, , in the quarter-final of the tournament to get a place in the final four. MAYOR RESULTS ON COURT 2010 -2011

THE MAN IN THE ARENA Speech at the Sorbonne ,Paris, France ,April 23, 1910 Theodore Roosevelt

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
