Tennis Principles do not apply to Novak Djokovic

Tennis Principles do not apply to Novak Djokovic

During the last match, Murray soldiered on the match and was ahead of Novak a great deal. Novak didn’t seem to be bothered by Murray leading the first round because he knew where he would deploy his non explainable tactics. Murray thought he would take the cup as he was certain he would beat Novak out of his own game like he did in Rome. But Murray lost it all during the first service in the second set. He made a few errors which resulted to his defeat. From that point, his service became very poor. But Novak knew how and where to apply his tactic in his game. He consecutively slammed Murray to the fourth set. Although the atmosphere of defeat had already been instilled in Murray, he still tried fighting back.

Novak has a close tendency to let his opponents take the first matches and later shows that he was just trying to comprehend their game. He leads by playing softly and tightly until the mood is instilled in the court. He then starts his sprints and start slamming his opponents leaving them ajar. This makes him the protagonist in every game. Novak plays his game pulling the opponent to the baseline of one side and then abruptly re directs the ball to the other side. The opponent gives up knowing that he can’t reach the ball.

In the history of the tennis as a game, no one has ever enchanted four slams as Novak did. This makes him the best man there is in the game positioning him high in the rank. Serena Williams tried to fulfill her pursuit to proof that she could be on the same boat as Djokovic but she was unable because the rules Novak used or rather uses simply couldn’t and can’t be applied by anyone else. Serena was once the world tennis record breaker but it seems that the title shifted to someone else. It is thus predictable that Djokovic will win any game. He may win the full Grand Slam or come out with a gold medal in Rio. Though there isn’t any logistic in that, it has already been proven that principles of tennis don’t apply to Novak Djokovic.

Golf should not be a game of the Olympics

Golf should not be a game of the Olympics

It’s better and clearer to say that Golf doesn’t need to be in the Olympics. The golfers ought to have left after the tournament in Rio de Janeiro. Some of the best players in the female category include Lexi Thompson , Stacy Lewis and Gerina Piller. In the male family they include; Jordan Spieth, Bubba Watson , Rickie Fowler and Dustin Johnson who closes the category. The golfers feel bad because the International Olympic Committee has limited the number of match play elements to 60 players, 72 holes.  The problem is that the eligibility of the player will only be based on world rankings. This makes many of the games stars out of course.

The players will only come out of countries which have a line of descent in golfing. The PGA schedule really puts the players off. It seems they’ll get very tired and won’t be able to enjoy their summer as expected.  The tour used to start with the Classic field but due to alteration it’ll be between Bridgestone Invitational and British Opens. The Bridgestone and WCG which will take place in Akron will be two weeks after U.S Opens.  Before the British Opens comes in Greenbrier will start and then the PGA Championships will come two weeks after the British Opens. The Olympics will come two weeks after the PGA tournament and Two weeks after the Olympics tournaments where FedExCup playoffs will begin.

David Lingmerth says he won’t be playing the Greenbrier though it’s one of his favorite because the schedule is far much too complicated. He’ll have to play other tournaments which aren’t his best. This won’t happen to him alone; a great deal of other top 50 players will also be affected thus leaving an expression of disgust to the Olympics.

The Classic have always had bad lucks with the weather. This includes the four day rains which happened last year and a post-sunset finish which was caused by the 2013 delay. Memorial 41 editions also suffered 71 weather delays which happened on Saturday and Sunday. This sums it all why Golf ought to forsake the Olympics Games.

Kevin Durant might not be going for the free Agency Tour

Kevin Durant might not be going for the free Agency Tour

Kevin Durant is one of the best forward players this summer. The Los Angeles Lakers will be trying as much as possible to convince him to join their league during the tour. After Kobe Bryant retirement, Lakers are trying as much as possible to look for someone to take part of the forward position Kobe left. Even though their anticipation and regard to Durant, chances are very minimal that he will accept their offer. During the last seasons agents have been offering free tours to players in different teams. But according to Royce Young of ESPN it is likely Durant won’t comply. To him it looks like recruitment but he said that he isn’t that kind of a person.

Though it is certain that he won’t attend the tour, Matt Moore of CBS Sports put down assumptions how Durant’s agency operation will happen. He said because Kevin Durant hold a number of meetings in Los Angeles, he spends his summer and his home is situated in the same location hell try to make a lot of decisions. This would not be the case if he has already decided to go back to OCK. This will be so whether it’ll be based on a five or two year deal. This basically would make him not harbor such offers.

Over the seasons Lakers wait too long for players to make decisions about their recruitment. This isn’t so with Durant, though he may not make his decision as they expect, he’ll make it pretty fast. If maybe he refuses it’ll be fair because other players won’t wait too long or make commitments with other agencies because there won’t wait for long. If he rejects the recruitment, that won’t be a problem to the Lakers because they have enough salary to pay other players. This will be profitable because they won’t sacrifice a salary slot. The Lakers are planning to make it big this summer; this will be possible if only they convince the best player they’ll get to come to Los Angeles.

Golf ought To Be a Team Sport!

Golf ought To Be a Team Sport!

Golf industry is trying as much as possible to attract younger players. To make the children induced into the game a foot golf, a fifteen inch hole and a golf board (which is a vehicle) are being used to replace the handed down golf cart with skateboard which is motorized. The question remains as, what would happen if golf became a team sports?

Many may find it awkward but it has been proven that team playing is the best combination for people under the age of 35.Kris Hart said that he thinks golf as a team sport regardless other don’t have the same view as him. Since the formation of Nextgengolf organization in 2014 most players are from 18 to 34 years of age. In college 450 students from different schools compete in club tournaments. They compete in group of eights. Only those who score five counts win. On the City Tour teams of four to six people compete in a two team formats where the team which scores on each hole wins. A scramble up is also there, whereby everyone in the team tries his or her best shot.

Kris hart tried to explain that by playing together unity can be achieved and the game becomes more enjoyable with everyone participating than individuals. PGA of America tried this formats to kids under the age of 13 and many joined. In the last three years, the number tripled with 30,000 members. Teaming in golf helps players to co- exist as each player knows which wing or side he can play best.  Most watched golf events are individual but since the early 1960s it has been proven right that teaming up helps mobilize the players to one opponent and try as much as possible to muster their positions very well.

This summer golf officials chose the PGA formats that is: seventy two holes of individuals shot play. As a result of this occurrences golf as an individual game play persists. Kris Hart cited many games which gear young people to make friends. These games are basketball and soccer. Golf isn’t included here because it’s a  very stand alone game. Hart concluded by saying that the organization is looking at way in which everyone can be included in one game instead of one person playing a match, solo.
