Both will aim to use home advantage to have a good run here this year – Monfils will look for a repeat of his 2008 performance when he reached the semifinals, while Pouille will hope to emulate the form he displayed in reaching the last 4 at the Australian Open in January to impress the home fans in Paris. • Monte Carlo champion Fabio Fognini takes on fellow Italian Andreas Seppi in the first match on Court Simonne Mathieu today. It will be the 8th all-Italian meeting at Roland Garros in the Open Era and the 16th all-Italian clash at the Grand Slams in the Open Era. The pair are tied at 4 wins apiece in their previous Tour-level match-ups, but Seppi has not beaten his compatriot and Davis Cup teammate since 2010 and will have to put in an inspired performance if he is to defeat to the No.

    News Release 26 November 2018 DJOKOVIC, NADAL, FEDERER IN TOP 3 YEAR-END ATP RANKINGS FOR RECORD 7TH TIME, FIRST TIME SINCE 2014 PONTE VEDRA BEACH, FLORIDA — The ATP World Tour today published the 2018 year-end ATP Rankings on ATPWorldTour.com after an exciting season of milestones and breakthroughs. The trio of Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer finished in the Top 3 ATP Rankings for the seventh time (2007-11, 2014, 2018), the first since 2014. All three players ranked No. 1 at one stage during the year and it was the first time all three ranked No. 1 during the same season. There were five changes in the year-end Top 10 from the previous season for the second year in a row, including first-timers No. 6 Kevin Anderson and No. 10 John Isner, both former U.S. collegiate standouts. The last time at least two former college players finished in the Top 10 was in 1989 when John McEnroe, Brad Gilbert and Jay Berger accomplished the feat. Other players returning to the Top 10 were World No. 1 Novak Djokovic, who was No. 12 at the end of 2017, No. 5 Juan Martin del Potro, who equaled his year- end best from 2013, the last time he was in the Top 10, and No. 9 Kei Nishikori, who jumped from No. 22 last year. For the first time in ATP Rankings history (since 1973), players from five different regions of the world were represented in the Top 10. Six players from Europe and one each from Africa, Asia, North and South America comprised the Top 10.

I asked him to write a piece about the prospects, written just before the recent ATP Finals when Mike Venus had qualified for the doubles with Ryan Harrison. Since then Michael and Ryan have surprised many. They were seeded 8th, but reached the semi-finals, winning all 3 of their group matches before bowing out to the top seeds. A great effort, not to mention how handy the US$200.000 they share will be. They also won 600 ranking points each to assist them being seeded in tournaments next year. The overall winners were Henri Kontinen & John Peers. To show how close the men’s doubles teams are, Michael and Ryan beat them in the round robin section 6-4 7-6.

    KINEMATICS ANALYSIS ON THE FOREHAND STROKE OF ATP TENNIS PLAYER KAREN KHACHANOV Chuanjia Du1,, Jihe Zhou2, and Shuai Wang1 1Chengdu Sport Institute, 610041, Chengdu, Sichuan, China 2Chengdu Sport Institute, Sports Medicine Department, 610041, Chengdu, Sichuan, China Three-dimensional video analysis was used to examine the forehand stroke technique of the ATP tennis player, Karen Khachanov. The study provides a reference for all tennis learners to improve their forehand stroke. In preparation, Khachanov's center of gravity was lowered, and his body control was steady. In the swing, his racquet arm was fully extended, to increase the swing radius. His right leg was the support point for the swing stage. Notable in the swing stage motion was his driving leg action and full hip rotation, the whole hitting action typical of a whipping movement. The follow-through was natural, coordinated, and smooth. KEYWORDS: kinematics, tennis forehand, leg action, hip rotation INTRODUCTION: This paper used three-dimensional video analysis method to examine the forehand stroke of the ATP tennis player, Karen Khachanov. Kinematic data obtained in competition was the basis of the kinematics analysis and description of the forehand movement model. METHOD: Three-dimensional video analysis: Two JVC-GC-PX10AC high-speed cameras (50 fps) were used in the International ATP250 Chengdu Open 2016 to record forehand strokes. The axis of the two cameras was about 50° apart. The selected video was the last forehand stroke in the 2nd point of the first games first set in which he won the point. The selected video was analysed using the 3-D Signal TEC V2.0C analysis system.
