  • Defending Champion Mahut Plays Double-Header
    RICOH OPEN: DAY 3 MEDIA NOTES Wednesday, June 8, 2016 Autotron Rosmalen, 's-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands | June 6-12, 2016 Draw: S-28, D-16 | Prize Money: €566,525 | Surface: Grass ATP Info Tournament Info ATP PR & Marketing www.ATPWorldTour.com www.ricoh-open.nl Mark Epps: [email protected] @ATPWorldTour @RicohOpen Press Room: +31 653 19 79 00 facebook.com/ATPWorldTour facebook.com/RicohOpen DEFENDING CHAMPION MAHUT PLAYS DOUBLE-HEADER DAY 3 PREVIEW: Reigning singles champion and World No. 1 doubles player Nicolas Mahut plays a pair of matches on Court 1 at the Ricoh Open on Wednesday. Mahut begins his busy day at 11 am against countryman Paul Henri-Mathieu. The Frenchmen were born nine days apart in 1982 and live in Boulogne-Billancourt. But despite their proximity in age and residence, Mahut and Mathieu have only met twice on the ATP World Tour. The older Mathieu leads 2-0 in their FedEx ATP Head 2 Head rivalry. Mahut is enjoying a milestone week in ’s-Hertogenbosch. The two-time champion began his title defense with a win over qualifier Lukas Lacko on Monday, the same day that he became the second World No. 1 from France in doubles or singles. Mahut joined Hall-of-Famer Yannick Noah, who spent 19 weeks atop the Emirates ATP Doubles Rankings during the 1986 and 1987 seasons. Because his regular partner Pierre-Hugues Herbert is playing singles in Stuttgart this week, Mahut is teaming with World No. 10 Rohan Bopanna for the first time. They make their debut Wednesday in the third match on Court 1.

  • US Open Sportsmanship.Pdf
    ...It’s How You Pl aythe Game Sportsmanship is an integral part of every match, from junior tennis to the pros. BY KENT OSWALD It is odd how often tennis sportsmanship surprises us. In the first-set tie-break of his quarterfinal match this year at Indian Wells, Novak Djokovic feath - ered a drop shot that Jo-Wilfried Tsonga barely reached before flicking it wide. Walking back to the baseline to prepare to receive serve, Djokovic heard the umpire announce the point in his favor and immediately corrected the chair. Djokovic explained that Tsonga’s shot had nicked his racquet. Even on replays, it was practically impossible to see the contact. But Djokovic knew; he conceded the point. A couple months later, Djokovic found himself on the other side of doing the right thing when Andy Murray protested a time violation warning that had been issued to Djokovic in the final of the Madrid Masters. Djokovic was serving at 30-all, 4-2 in the deciding set when the chair ruled he was taking too long to serve. Murray marched over to the chair. “I’m the one [who] was keeping him waiting,” Murray said. “He was at the line about five seconds before me.” In both cases, there was discussion of how unusual it all was. It is as if sportsmanship is a new concept, when, in fact, it has been part of the game almost from the beginning. In 1881, the United States National Lawn Tennis Association (forerunner of today’s USTA) formed tennis’s first national governing body.
