Feb 27, Vishy rated it really liked it. I discovered this book when I was in a cafe sometime back, attending a book club meeting. I have never seen a biography of Roger Federer before and so I was excited. I asked the cafe manager whether I could borrow it and Roger Federer: The Inspirational Story of Tennis Superstar Roger Federer was kind enough to lend it to me. I am sure there are more which have been published since. It was first published in Roger Federer: The Inspirational Story of Tennis Superstar Roger Federer inas 'Das Tennis Ge I discovered this book when I was in a cafe sometime back, attending a book club meeting. Stauffer starts the story with how Federer's parents met, how the family lived when he was born, how he got into tennis, his junior days in tennis and how different people helped him, the support of the Swiss Tennis Federation during the early part of his career, how he turned professional and joined the ATP tour, how his initial years on the tennis tour were challenging and how it took him three years to win his first ATP title, his first grand slam title at Wimbledon inhow things fell in place after that and how he started winning one grand slam after another, and how he became one of the greatest players as early as The book also describes the love and support he received from his family throughout and how that has been the bedrock of his life, how every coach of his starting from Peter Carter to Peter Lundgren to Tony Roche has influenced his tennis and helped him become a better player. The book also describes how Federer and Mirka Vavrinec first met and the big part she has played in his life. There is a second part to the book, a shorter one, in which Stauffer looks at Federer from different perspectives - as a person, a player, an opponent, an entrepreneur, a celebrity, an ambassador. The book ends with a timeline which describes the major milestones of Federer's career and has quotes by prominent tennis persons on what they think about Federer. I enjoyed Roger Federer: The Inspirational Story of Tennis Superstar Roger Federer 'The Roger Federer Story'. I particularly enjoyed reading the first part which talks about his early Roger Federer: The Inspirational Story of Tennis Superstar Roger Federer, his personality as a kid growing up, how he hated classes at school, how he hated practice but was wonderful during the big matches, how, though he was talented, the expected results were hard to come by on the tennis court. There was a lot of new information in that first part of the book that many tennis fans wouldn't be aware of. It was interesting to know that Federer was introverted, he liked hanging out with his childhood friends, he was not really a reader or an intellectual type but loved playing games on his Playstation during his younger years. There were interesting comments in the book by his sister and his mother on his younger days. There were also interesting depictions of how he was his own independent man - the way he ignored his tennis coach from his younger years, Peter Carter, and went with a new coach Peter Lundgren, how he broke off his relationship with Peter Lundgren after he won his first grand slam and continued playing without a coach, a decision which puzzled many, how he broke off his close relationship with the Swiss Tennis Federation at one point and stuck it out on his own, how he broke his relationship with IMG and started handling his business affairs with the help of his own family. Some of these decisions look brave, some of them look surprising, but all of them look interesting. One of the things which I learnt after reading the book was that Federer didn't have it easy. Success on the ATP tour didn't come easily for him. It took him three years to win his first ATP title. It took him five years to win his first grand slam. Many players - some of them established professionals and others from Federer's own generation - seem to have had his number on court. In the case of some of these players, Federer seems to have reversed the trend and started winning more matches against them, but in other cases, it looks like that player has continued to have Federer's number. For example, Nalbandian seems to have continued winning against Federer, even after Federer started clocking all those grand slams. Nalbandian seems to have been the Nadal of his time. All this makes Federer's achievements look even more impressive. The book ends at the beginning of Lots of stuff has happened in Federer's career since then - how Nadal chased him and caught up with him at Wimbledon and everywhere else, how Federer won his first French Open, how he crossed Sampras' record of 14 grand slams, how he won seven Wimbledons and tied with William Earnshaw, how his career continued without any slams for the next Roger Federer: The Inspirational Story of Tennis Superstar Roger Federer years, how Djokovic came up and had both Federer's and Nadal's numbers, how Andy Murray and Stan Wawrinka came out as wonderful challengers to the three greats, Federer's great renaissance in when he won two slams and how he won his eighth Wimbledon and broke William Renshaw's record and how he defended one of them inand how his performances have dipped again since then - these are not covered in the book.

  • Tennis Glory Ever Could
    A CHAMPION’S MIND For my wife, Bridgette, and boys, Christian and Ryan: you have fulfilled me in a way that no number of Grand Slam titles or tennis glory ever could Introduction Chapter 1 1971–1986 The Tennis Kid Chapter 2 1986–1990 A Fairy Tale in New York Chapter 3 1990–1991 That Ton of Bricks Chapter 4 1992 My Conversation with Commitment Chapter 5 1993–1994 Grace Under Fire Chapter 6 1994–1995 The Floodgates of Glory Chapter 7 1996 My Warrior Moment Chapter 8 1997–1998 Wimbledon Is Forever Chapter 9 1999–2001 Catching Roy Chapter 10 2001–2002 One for Good Measure Epilogue Appendix About My Rivals Acknowledgments / Index Copyright A few years ago, the idea of writing a book about my life and times in tennis would have seemed as foreign to me as it might have been surprising to you. After all, I was the guy who let his racket do the talking. I was the guy who kept his eyes on the prize, leading a very dedicated, disciplined, almost monkish existence in my quest to accumulate Grand Slam titles. And I was the guy who guarded his private life and successfully avoided controversy and drama, both in my career and personal life. But as I settled into life as a former player, I had a lot of time to reflect on where I’d been and what I’d done, and the way the story of my career might impact people. For starters, I realized that what I did in tennis probably would be a point of interest and curiosity to my family.

  • Andy Murray Articles 2006-2008|
    ANDY MURRAY ARTICLES 2006-2008 | In 2006 Andy Murray began his voyage into World top 20 Tennis players. Starting with a tame Australian Open campaign which led to a strained relationship with the bullish British press. His first ATP tour title in San Jose beating two Former Grand Slam Champions along the way. While a rather upsetting coaching split and a trouncing of the World number 1 filled a year where progress was there for the tennis public to see but attitude and off court issues usually filled the journalists copy. 2006 Scrappy Murray prevails after sluggish start By Neil Harman, Tennis Correspondent Published at 12:00AM, January 4 2006 HIS first match of 2006 reassured Andy Murray’s followers yesterday that the element of his game that stands him in such stead as a professional of rare promise — his love of a scrap — is undimmed. From every standpoint, Murray’s defeat of Paolo Lorenzi, an Italian qualifier, in the first round of the Next Generation Adelaide International, was exactly the kind of thrash in the dark of which these first-week events are chock-full. He served seven aces, six double faults, broke serve seven times in 12 attempts, lost his own service three times and won the final five games. The one statistic to matter was a 3-6, 6-0, 6-2 victory and a place in the second round today against Tomas Berdych, a player being touted every bit as fiercely in his native Czech Republic as Murray is in Britain. Berdych’s last defeat was against Murray in the second round of the Davidoff Swiss Indoors in Basle in October, after which the Scot was almost buried in headlines about the passing of the British baton — he defeated Tim Henman in the first round — while Berdych went on to overhaul a star-studded field and lift the Paris Masters.

  • Die Geschichte Des Schweizer Davis Cup Teams Von 1992 Bis 2015
    Von Final zu Final und weiter – die Geschichte des Schweizer Davis Cup Teams von 1992 bis 2015 Eine Geschichte mit Höhen und Tiefen und einer ganz besonderen Krönung 1992 wars, als die Schweiz erstmals ein Davis- Cup-Endspiel erreichte. Gegner waren die USA; 1:3 hiess es nach drei Tagen. Seit den "goldenen Tagen von Fort Worth" sind etliche Jahre vergangen. Jahre mit vielen Höhen und Tiefen. Jahre, in denen sich das Schweizer Team grundlegend erneuert hat und 2014 den grössten Erfolg seiner Geschichte feiern konnte. Ein Blick zurück auf die letzten Davis-Cup-Jahre... Irgendwie ist es bezeichnend: 1992, dem Jahr des bisher grössten Erfolges in der Schweizer Davis-Cup- Geschichte, folgten die Ernüchterung von Kalkutta und Tel Aviv. 1993 war ein verlorenes Jahr, ein Jahr der vielen Missgeschicke. Dem Jahr des Triumphs hinkte das Jahr des tiefen Falls hinterher. Irgendwie hatte sich alles gegen die Davis-Cup-Helden von Fort Worth verschworen: Die Auslosung mit der Erst- Runden-Begegnung im fernen Indien, die unbeschreibliche Armut in Kalkuttas Strassen, die selbst den ausgebufften Profis Marc Rosset und Jakob Hlasek den Schlaf raubte, der unsägliche Rasenplatz inmitten eines fürchterlichen Panoramas von Armut, Dreck und Kriegsfilmkulisse mit halbverfallenen Häusern. Die Schweizer, etwas spät angereist, verfielen dem Trauma des Siegen-Müssens, verloren Spiel und Partie und fanden sich unvermittelt in der Abstiegsrunde in Israel wieder. An jenem verhängnisvollen Freitag begannen die entscheidenden Partien morgens um acht, mit Rücksicht auf den israelischen Feiertag zum Jom Kippur wurde die normalerweise am Wochenende stattfindende Begegnung kurzerhand zwei Tage vorverschoben. Und es kam, wie es kommen musste: Der lange Schatten Kalkuttas reichte bis ins schmucke Canada Stadium zu Ramat Hasharon, die Schweizer stiegen in die Europazone ab, Coach Georges Deniau und Captain Tim Sturdza nahmen den Hut.

    DIPLOMARBEIT Titel der Diplomarbeit Die Vereinbarkeit von schulischer Ausbildung und professionellem Tennissport Verfasser Michael Weinberger angestrebter akademischer Grad Magister der Naturwissenschaften (Mag.rer.nat.) Wien, 2013 Studienkennzahl lt. Studienblatt: A 190 482 313 Studienrichtung lt. Studienblatt: UF Bewegung und Sport UF Geschichte, Sozialkunde, Polit. Bildg. Betreuerin: Ass. Prof. Mag. Dr. Rosa Diketmüller VORWORT Im Alter von 14 Jahren stand ich selber vor der Entscheidung den Weg eines professionellen Tennisspielers einzuschlagen, in eine Schule für Leistungssportler(innen) zu wechseln oder doch ein „normales“ Gymnasium zu besuchen und das Tennisspielen in den Hintergrund zu rücken. Ich entschied mich für die zweite Variante, der Frage was der Umstieg in eine Schule für Leistungssportler(innen) für mich bedeutet hätte, wollte ich allerdings in irgendeiner Form nachgehen. Nach der Matura begann ich meine Tätigkeit als Tennistrainer in Amstetten, dort wurde ich mit Spieler(innen) konfrontiert, die vor der Frage standen, ob sie die Schule aufgrund ihres professionellen Tennistrainings abbrechen sollten oder ob es eine Möglichkeit gibt schulische Ausbildung und professionellen Tennissport miteinander zu vereinen. Einige meiner Tenniskollegen studierten mittlerweile in den USA und finanzierten sich ihr Studium mittels Collegetennis und genau diese Art der Vereinbarung zwischen Schule und Tennis wollte ich untersuchen, um es als Möglichkeit darzustellen und eventuelle wichtige Erkenntnisse/ Verbesserungsvorschläge herauszufiltern. Danksagung Ich möchte mich bei allen Personen bedanken, die mich im Rahmen meiner Arbeit und in meiner gesamten Studienzeit unterstützt haben, vor allem bei denjenigen, die mich in so mancher schwieriger Phase wieder aufgebaut haben. Mein Dank gilt weiters Frau Ass. Prof. Mag. Dr. Rosa Diketmüller, die mich im Rahmen der Betreuung meiner Diplomarbeit immer wieder mit nützlichen Tipps und Hinweisen unterstützt hat.

  • Histoire De L'équpe Suisse De Coupe Davis
    Kommunikation Biel, 23.02.2015 / sp De 1992 jusqu'à 2014 Jusque à 2014 c’était ne seule fois que la Suisse a frôlé l'exploit en Coupe Davis. C'était en 1992, à l'occasion de la finale contre les Etats-Unis, perdue par la Suisse 1 :3. De nombreuses années ponctuées d'échecs, de malchance et de pannes se sont écoulées depuis « l'âge d'or de Fort Worth ». Des années de renouvellement et de renaissance pour l'équipe suisse qui peut maintenant pour la première fois depuis longtemps se remettre à rêver. Flash-back dans le passé suisse de la Coupe Davis... Plus on monte haut, plus on peut tomber bas. L'équipe suisse de Coupe Davis, arrivée au sommet de sa gloire en 1992, en a fait la douloureuse expérience avec les douches froides de Calcutta et Tel Aviv. 1993 fut une année perdue, l'année des infortunes à répétition, l'année de la chute libre. Tout semblait vouloir se liguer contre les héros de Fort Worth: le sort qui leur avait destiné une rencontre de premier tour dans l'Inde lointaine, la misère indicible des rues de Calcutta qui priva de sommeil des professionnels de la trempe d'un Marc Rosset ou Jakob Hlasek, l'inénarrable gazon au cœur d'un terrible décor de pauvreté, d'insalubrité et de maisons délabrées digne du plus noir des films de guerre. Arrivés tard sur les lieux, les Suisses, hantés par l'obsession de gagner, perdirent leurs moyens et la rencontre, et se retrouvèrent en Israël pour le barrage..
