2019 Wimbledon Day 3 Men's Notes 2019 WIMBLEDON DAY 3 MEN’S NOTES Wednesday 3 July 2nd Round Top Half Featured matches No. 1 Novak Djokovic (SRB) v Denis Kudla (USA) No. 4 Kevin Anderson (RSA) v Janko Tipsarevic (SRB) No. 10 Karen Khachanov (RUS) v (WC) Feliciano Lopez (ESP) No. 11 Daniil Medvedev (RUS) v (Q) Alexei Popyrin (AUS) No. 15 Milos Raonic (CAN) v Robin Haase (NED) No. 19 Felix Auger-Aliassime (CAN) v (Q) Corentin Moutet (FRA) No. 21 David Goffin (BEL) v Jeremy Chardy (FRA) No. 22 Stan Wawrinka (SUI) v Reilly Opelka (USA) No. 26 Guido Pella (ARG) v Andreas Seppi (ITA) No. 30 Kyle Edmund (GBR) v Fernando Verdasco (ESP) On court today… • Having become the first man born in the 2000s to record a Grand Slam match-win by winning his 1st round match on Monday, No. 19 seed Felix Auger-Aliassime returns to court to face qualifier Corentin Moutet today. 18-year-old Auger-Aliassime and 20-year-old Moutet are the youngest and 4th-youngest men left in the draw here, respectively. While the Canadian is ranked more than 60 places higher than Moutet, he will be wary of the Frenchman, who came back from 0-2 down to defeat former Wimbledon semifinalist Grigor Dimitrov in the 1st round here. • British No. 1 Kyle Edmund will once again take centre stage here today – he goes up against former Top 10 player Fernando Verdasco in the 3rd match on Centre Court. Edmund is one of 7 British players, men and women, to reach the 2nd round here – the highest number of home players through to the 2nd round at Wimbledon since 2006, when there were also 7. Edmund defeated a Spanish player in Jaume Munar in the 1st round, but Verdasco, who reached the quarterfinals here in 2013, will present an even greater challenge today. • No. 10 seed Karen Khachanov plays the wild card and wily grass court campaigner Feliciano Lopez in a mouth- watering clash on No. 1 Court today. Lopez dropped to his lowest ranking in over 17 years earlier this year but, having won the singles and doubles titles at Queen’s last month, is now just outside the Top 50 and will hope to climb even higher with a good performance here too. The Spaniard is a 3-time Wimbledon quarterfinalist – but Khachanov has reached the 3rd round or better in each of his previous appearances here and will be determined to maintain that record with victory today. • Qualifier Alexei Popyrin is hoping to emulate his compatriot and mentor Pat Cash at Wimbledon this year. The 1987 champion is working with the 19-year-old Australian during the grass court season, and Popyrin will hope that the work they have done together will pay off when he takes on the No. 11 seed Daniil Medvedev in the 2nd match on Court 12 today. Popyrin comes into the tournament on a strong grass court run, having battled through qualifying last week, but Medvedev is among the stand-out performers of the season so far and Popyrin will have to be at his best if he is to prevent the Russian from notching up a 30th Tour-level match-win of 2019.

Djokovic has lost a grass court match to a player ranked as low as Kudla on just one previous occasion – to No. 128 Jan Hernych in the 2nd round at 2006 ’s-Hertogenbosch. The lowest-ranked player to defeat Djokovic at Wimbledon is No. 75 Marat Safin in the 2nd round in 2008. DJOKOVIC v KUDLA 32 Age 26 1 ATP Ranking 111 74 Titles 0 271-42 Career Grand Slam Record 11-20 66-10 Wimbledon Record 6-5 865-182 Career Record 49-89 89-18 Career Record - Grass 21-19 29-6 2019 Record 8-15 1-0 2019 Record - Grass 3-2 29-10 Career Five-Set Record 4-6 4 Comebacks from 0-2 Down 2 239-136 Career Tiebreak Record 22-32 6-3 2019 Tiebreak Record 4-4 • Defending champion DJOKOVIC is bidding to reach the 3rd round here for the 14th time • Djokovic is bidding to reach the 3rd round here for the 11th consecutive year and claim sole ownership of 2nd place on the list for most consecutive 3rd round appearances at Wimbledon in the Open Era. Jimmy Connors is at the top of the list, having reached the 3rd round here on 14 straight occasions in 1972-85. • Djokovic has lost in the 2nd round at Wimbledon on one previous occasion – in 2008, when he fell to No. 75 Marat Safin. It was his earliest exit here. • Djokovic advanced to the 2nd round here after defeating Philipp Kohlschreiber 63 75 63 in the 1st round on Monday. • Last year here, Djokovic won his 4th Wimbledon title, defeating Kevin Anderson 62 62 76(3) in the final. At No. 21, he became the lowest-ranked man to win the Wimbledon title since No. 125 Goran Ivanisevic in 2001. This is his 15th consecutive appearance at Wimbledon and his 58th Grand Slam overall. • Djokovic is bidding to win his 5th Wimbledon title and move into joint-4th place on the list for most Wimbledon titles won in history, alongside Bjorn Borg and Laurie Doherty (see Preview page 1) • Djokovic is also bidding to win back-to-back Wimbledon titles for the 2nd time in his career, having won consecutive titles here in 2014-15, defeating Roger Federer in the final on both occasions. He defeated Rafael Nadal to win his first Wimbledon title in 2011, and also reached the final here in 2013 (l. Andy Murray). • Djokovic is looking to win his 16th Grand Slam title here. By defeating Nadal to win his 15th Grand Slam title at the Australian Open this year, he claimed sole ownership of 3rd place on the all-time list for most Grand Slam men’s singles titles, ahead of Pete Sampras. Federer (20 major titles) and Nadal (18) are the only men to have won more Grand Slam singles titles than Djokovic. (see Preview page 2) • Also at the Grand Slams in 2019, Djokovic reached the semifinals at Roland Garros where he fell to Dominic Thiem in 5 sets, ending a 26-match winning streak at the Grand Slams which began in the 1st round here last year. • Djokovic did not contest a grass court event prior to coming here. It is the 7th time in the last 10 years that he has entered Wimbledon without playing a grass court event – but the first time since 2016, having played at Eastbourne in 2017 and Queen’s in 2018. He is one of just 7 men in the Open Era to have won the title here without playing a warm- up event on grass, achieving the feat in 2011 and 2014-15. (see Preview page 9) 2019 Wimbledon day 3 men’s match notes • Also in 2019, Djokovic won his 74th Tour-level title at Madrid-1000 (d. Stefanos Tsitsipas). His victory against Tsitsipas was his 200th match-win against a Top 10 player. He also finished runner-up at Rome-1000 (l. Nadal), reached the semifinals at Doha (l. Roberto Bautista Agut), the quarterfinals at Monte Carlo-1000 (l. Daniil Medvedev), the round of 16 at Miami-1000 (l. Bautista Agut) and the 3rd round at Indian Wells-1000 (l. Kohlschreiber). • This is the 21st Grand Slam at which Djokovic has been seeded No. 1. He was also seeded No. 1 at the Australian Open and Roland Garros this year, having previously not been seeded No. 1 at a Grand Slam since the 2016 US Open. • Djokovic returned to the world No. 1 ranking for the first time since October 2016 in November last year, and has been ranked No. 1 since then. He is guaranteed to remain at No. 1 when the new rankings are released on Monday 15 July regardless of his performance here. • Djokovic has an 8-1 win-loss record in 5-set matches at Wimbledon, with his only defeat in a 5-set match coming against Mario Ancic in the round of 16 in 2006. He has a 29-10 win-loss record in 5-set matches overall. • Djokovic has played Davis Cup for Serbia since 2004 and has a 34-10 overall win-loss record in the competition. Serbia will compete in Group A against France and Japan at the Davis Cup Finals in Madrid in November. • Djokovic is coached by Marian Vajda. • KUDLA is bidding to record his 50th Tour-level match-win today. • Kudla is bidding to reach 3rd round here for the 2nd time. This is his 6th Wimbledon appearance and his 21st Grand Slam overall. • Kudla advanced to the 2nd round here for the 4th time after defeating Malek Jaziri 64 61 63 in the 1st round on Monday. • Last year here, as a wild card, Kudla fell to Lucas Pouille in 4 sets in the 1st round. • Kudla’s best Grand Slam result is reaching the round of 16 as a wild card here in 2015, where he defeated Pablo Cuevas, Alexander Zverev and Santiago Giraldo before falling to Marin Cilic.

  • 2020 W&S Open Partners
    Western & Southern Open Partners Embrace Unique 2020 Tournament CINCINNATI (Aug. 6, 2020) – Numerous Western & Southern Open partners will remain involved with the tournament in 2020 during it’s one-year staging at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York. Due to circumstances brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Western & Southern Open will be held Aug. 20-28 at the same venue that will host the US Open beginning Aug. 31. The ATP Masters 1000 and WTA Premier 5 Western & Southern Open will be the first combined tournament hosting players from both circuits at a single venue since the tours suspended play in early March. While the venue will be different this year, a number of facets of the tournament will remain the same, starting with the name. Cincinnati-based Western & Southern Financial Group returns as title sponsor for a 19th year, marking the longest-running active naming rights relationship with a North American tennis tournament. The traditional Western & Southern backwall branding will be just one of the familiar aspects of the on-court presentation this year, particularly on the NTC’s Grandstand which will serve as the primary show court. As with 2019, a Porsche serve speed display and Rolex clock will be featured on the court. Player benches will once again be furnished by Mobisport and will be placed behind Cintas mats near drink coolers provided by BODYARMOR. Emirates will have net signage during the ATP Tour matches. LED screens will rotate sponsor signage on the side walls of the Grandstand while Motorola will be featured on LED boards on the side of the umpire’s chair.

  • 2020 Western & Southern Open Doubles Field
    Western & Southern Open Defending Champions Headline Doubles Fields CINCINNATI (Aug. 11, 2020) – Both the women’s and men’s defending champions are among the initial entries to play doubles at the 2020 Western & Southern Open, which will be held Aug. 20-28 at the USTA Billie Jean King Tennis Center in New York. The 2019 WTA doubles winners – Lucie Hradecka and Andreja Klepac – are joined by the ATP Tour champions – Ivan Dodig and Filip Polasek – to headline the early entries. Other notable entries on the women’s side include the teenage pairing of Cincinnati’s 18-year-old Caty McNally and 16-year-old Coco Gauff. Dubbed “McCoco,” the duo won a pair of WTA titles in 2019 – at Washington, D.C. and Luxembourg – and reached the US Open Round of 16. Elise Mertens and Aryna Sabalenka, who finished 2019 atop the WTA Porsche Race to Shenzen as the season’s No. 1 team, are also in the field. Reigning Australian Open singles champion Sofia Kenin, a 21-year- old American, has entered with former Western & Southern Open singles and doubles winner Victoria Azarenka. The top two teams in the ATP Tour doubles race are entered in the men’s draw. The No. 1 team of Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah is returning after reaching two straight Western & Southern Open finals. They are joined in the field by the No. 2 team of Lukasz Kubot and Marcelo Melo. The ATP Tour No. 1 ranked singles player, Novak Djokovic, has entered the doubles draw with countryman Filip Krajinovic. An additional five women’s teams and six men’s duos will join the fields through on-site entries, while the tournament will award three wild cards into each draw to complete the 32-team fields.

  • 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.
