Swaythling Cup and Jan-Ave Waldner Became the New World Champion
IEditorial Four "gems" to remember • • • ENGLISH table tennis players, administrators, fans will not easily forget this campaign now drawing to a close. It was the season when we entered the Olympic Games in Seoul, England finally bounced back into the Super Division of the European League, when Sweden slayed the Chinese dragon, (at least in the men's game) by winning the Swaythling Cup and Jan-ave Waldner became the new world champion. A year ago we failed to win promotion again and then found that Hungary were a new barrier. As it happened, Belgium and Austria were the two nations we had to beat and this we did principally by the strength of our two young men Alan Cooke and Carl Prean. Both have had a season they can lookback on with pride - Alan captured the Commonwealth title in Cardiff and it was Carl who raised his game in Dortmund in the memorable match with Waldner when he reached 19-19 in all four games against the exquisite talent of the man who two days later, became the new champion of the world. Don Parker summed it all up in Dortmund when he said, "We are now in all the competitions amongst the top nations including the new men's world team cup as we finished ninth here in Germany. I am more than pleased with the group of teenagers now bidding for a place in the England squad headed by Michael O'Driscoll, Bradley Billington and Matthew Syed. They demonstrated in Cardiff that they are improving all the time. -
An Analysis of the Metaphors Used in the 2002 Official Wimbledon Film Torben Schmidt, Frankfurt ([email protected])
Cutting the Russian Bear down to size on the graveyard of champions – An analysis of the metaphors used in the 2002 Official Wimbledon Film Torben Schmidt, Frankfurt ([email protected]) Abstract Sports reports on the radio, on television, or in newspapers are usually characterized by very vivid language full of metaphorical terms and expressions. After an introduction to the most prominent metaphor theories, this paper focuses on an analysis of metaphor usage in an English tennis report. Based on a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the spoken commentary of the 2002 Official Wimbledon Film, the aim of this paper is to establish how many and what kind of metaphors are typically used in this film, to which image donor fields the different metaphors belong, and how certain metaphors interact with each other within the commentary. Sportkommentare in Rundfunk, Fernsehen und Zeitungen sind in der Regel geprägt von einer sehr lebhaften Sprache, die reich an metaphorischen Ausdrücken und Formulierungen ist. Der Schwerpunkt des vorliegenden Artikels liegt nach einer Beschreibung der bekanntesten Arbeiten zur Metapherntheorie auf einer Analyse des Gebrauchs von Metaphern in einer Englischen Tennisreportage: Basierend auf einer quantitativen und qualitativen Untersuchung des Kommentars des offiziellen Wimbledon-Films aus dem Jahre 2002 soll hierbei herausgefunden werden, welche Metaphern in diesem Film typischerweise verwendet werden, zu welchen übergeordneten Bildspenderkategorien sich einzelne Metaphern zusammenfassen lassen und wie Metaphern innerhalb des analysierten Kommentars miteinander verknüpft sind. 1. Introduction No doubt because of its tradition and very special flair, the Wimbledon tennis tournament has become the biggest and most popular tennis event in the world. -

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. -

Ostavio je traga ne samo kao teniski igrač već kao i trener i sportski komentator. Za vrijeme svoje sportske karijere bio je poznat po svom popularnom „dive-u“ a Tennis Magazin ga je rangirao kao jedanaestog najboljeg igrača u periodu od 1965-2005 godine. Kao njegovi veći uspjesi navode se i 6 Grand Slam titula, Olimpijsko zlato i 13 Master titula. Tri godine je bio dio tima tada tenisera broj 1, Novaka Đokoviča, s kojim je nizao mnoge uspjehe kao trener. Njegov život je nekada bio, a i sada je, veoma dinamičan i turbulentan zbog čega je privlačio puno pažnje javnosti. Svoje poslovne i privatne priče podijelio je sa publikom u svojoj autobiografiji. Zbog svojih velikih uspjeha često se pominje kada se govori o sportu, ne samo kao jedan od najuspješnijih tenisera, već i kao jedan od nauspješnijih sportista uopšte, kao i trenera.
