The other seeds are: David Goffin, David Ferrer, Viktor Troicki and Philipp Kohlschreiber. Federer, who owns a tournament record eight titles, is one of three former winners in the field, along with Kohlschreiber (2011) and Berdych (2007). DAY 1 PREVIEW: There are six singles matches on opening day of play, highlighted by No. 2 seed Kei Nishikori, No. 5 David Goffin and No. 6 David Ferrer. In the opening match on Stadion, Lucas Pouille and Nishikori meet for the first time. Pouille is looking for his first career win on grass (0-3) and fourth Top 10 win of the season. Nishikori was a semi-finalist the last two years. In the next match on, #NextGen teenager Borna Coric looks for his first win (0-3) against Goffin, who is making his first appearance in Halle since 2013. In the third match on, qualifiers Ernests Gulbis and Benjamin Becker square off for the third time (tied 1-1), the first on grass. In the final match on, Ferrer looks for his 10th win in as many meetings against last year’s finalist Seppi, who is attempting to earn his 300th career match win on the ATP World Tour. Ferrer is making his debut. On Court 1, a pair of Americans are in action as Denis Kudla takes on qualifier Sergiy Stakhovsky and wild card Taylor Fritz meets qualifier Yuichi Sugita. Both are first-time meetings. KING OF GRASS: Federer is making his 14th appearance in Halle in the past 17 years (except 07, ’09, ’11). The Swiss superstar is the most successful grass court player in the Open Era with 15 titles and an .873 match winning percentage (144-21) on the surface. More than one-third of Federer’s 144 career match wins have come in Halle where he is 51-5, winning eight titles in 2003- 06, ’08 and ’13-15. Last year Federer defeated Andreas Seppi 76 64 in the final. He is 8-2 in Halle finals (l. to Hewitt in ’10, Haas in ’12). Federer has won his last 13 matches in Halle since falling to Haas in the 2012 final. Going into this season, Federer has won at least one grass court title in 11 of the past 13 years (except 2010-11). KEI RETURNS: No. 2 seed Nishikori is making his fourth straight showing in Halle and the last two years he reached the semi-finals (l. to Federer in ’14, ret. vs. Seppi with calf injury last year). He has a 24-18 career record on grass. This season the Japanese star is 32-10 with his fourth straight title in Memphis and runner-up efforts at ATP Masters 1000 Miami and Barcelona. He is coming off a 4R at Roland Garros (l. to Gasquet in four sets). THIEM TOP 10 SUCCESS: Thiem, who became the newest member in the Top 10 Emirates ATP Rankings on June 6 after his SF run at Roland Garros, is making his second visit to Halle (0-1). In Stuttgart, the 22-year-old Austrian beat World No. 3 Federer en route to his first grass court final (vs. Kohlschreiber). Going into the Monday rain-delayed final, Thiem has a 44-11 match record on the season with three ATP World Tour titles.

  • Inside the STMS-January 2013
    January 2013 Sincerely yours, Neeru Jayanthi, MD Editor-in-Chief STMS BOARD President Javier Maquirriain Buenos Aires, Argentina Vice President Neeru Jayanthi Chicago, IL, USA Secretary/Treasurer Mark Kovacs Atlanta, GA, USA Membership Officer Todd Ellenbecker Scottsdale, AZ, USA C onference Report Submitted by Neeru 2012 STMS-USTA Conference Presented by Connor Sport Court Atlanta, Georgia, December 14-16th, 2012 This STMS North American Regional Conference was organized by Mark Kovacs, PhD, USPTA and Neeru Jayanthi, M.D., USPTA, and held at Life University outside of Atlanta Georgia in collaboration with the United States Tennis Association (USTA). The conference had a tennis-specific set up as well as innovative tennis medicine content with keynote presentations, break out sessions, and on-court sessions. Thanks to Connor Sport Court, there were 2 court surfaces that were laid down inside the Life University gymnasium for very real on court demonstrations. Some of the participants (and even speakers) found some time to even play out some points and warm up with the foam balls and rackets provided! This conference was also supported by Ortho Atlanta, a local orthopae- dic group that serves as the official medical providers for the Atlanta ATP Championships as well as the Australian Open Wildcard tournament. The International Tennis Performance Association (ITPA), was an- other key contributor, and they also helped to arrange an on court stroke technique evaluation for coaches in conjunction with Georgia Professional Tennis Association (GPTA), and STMS one day prior to the main STMS-USTA conference. Dr. Ben Kibler, Dr. Mark Kovacs, and myself provided an enthusiastic audience of many local tennis professionals, coaches, and some medical providers some specific modifications of strokes for junior elite players as well as adult players.

  • Four More Stars Sign up As Tie Break Tens Madrid Partners with the Mutua Charity Against Domestic Violence
    24th March, 2017 Four more stars sign up as Tie Break Tens Madrid partners with The Mutua Charity against domestic violence On the day that Tie Break Tens Madrid announced a partnership with the Mutua Charity against domestic violence, a reigning Olympic champion, a French Open runner-up, an Australian Open semi finalist and one of the most exciting young players in tennis joined the line-up of stars at the event. The event, which takes place on Thursday May 4th, will donate $100,000 to victims of domestic violence. Tie Break Tens Madrid will therefore be named Mutua Charity Tie Break Tens Madrid, against domestic violence. Monica Puig, who won Puerto Rico's first ever Olympic gold medal last year in Rio, joins the field in the 8- player women's tournament alongside Maria Sharapova, Garbine Muguruza and Simona Halep. In the men's event, the 2013 Roland Garros finalist David Ferrer, the 2011 Australian Open semi finalist Fernando Verdasco and Lucas Pouille - the 23-year-old Frenchman who beat Rafael Nadal at the US Open last year - signed up. They will take on Kei Nishikori, Grigor Dimitrov and Feliciano Lopez in Madrid. $200,000 will be on offer to the winner of each event, which will be played over a knockout format with every match a first-to-ten point tie-break. Ferrer, a former World No.3, said: 'I couldn't pass up the opportunity to play in this event. To play in Spain is an opportunity that doesn't come around that often and I think that this exciting competition format with tie-breaks of 10 points will be great fun for the crowd, so I ask everybody to come and watch in support of an important cause".
