(I've not read it yet so it might not make any sense)
Thursday 12 February at 13.30 in the short annex to the Stade Pierre de Coubertin in Paris. So qu'Alizé Cornet and Daniela Hantuchova playing at the same time under the spotlights in the center court, the numbers 1 double World put on a show during their 1st Round match, the pair face Benesova / Rosolska ... to 20 people, including a quarter which comes from their entourage. The Black from Zimbabwe is small and deep, the American Huber (naturalized, it is actually from South Africa), and powerful. A combination that has already proved its worth, because they already win 3 Grand Slam tournaments (Wimbledon 2005, 2007 Australian Open, U.S. Open in 2008, including the 2008 Masters).
They are two hours later, with a fairly Black and Huber cleared much more talkative. So, seriously, it's not too annoying to be the best but to have that right too rarely short key?
Liezel Huber: Well to be honest, it's true that we are not at all known to the public. However, when the WTA is asking us to do clinics with children, or any other operation promo, we are still OK.
TenFem-StreetReporters witnesses is: on a WTA overheard a manager telling a colleague that they were "delighted" to be asked in interview.
Precisely, the WTA, why do not you put out on the court rather than outside?
Cara Black & Liezel Huber: "What is unfortunate is that to make the double attractive, there is a tie-break by 10 points in place of the third set. We thought it was a good idea for the discipline, because it fits the TV format. In fact, it has not changed. "
Another oddity, there is no advance registration for tournaments:
Cara Black: "It comes to cities where we play and it is there. It is still not the top, it gives a lot of things to do outside the court, many logistical distractions. "
Good post, there are still visibly improved in recent years.
Cara Black & Liezel Huber: "For example, Masters in Doha, we have excellent infrastructure and the reputation of the players simply leads the world in the stadium, where everything is played on one court. It was played in front of the stands filled for our meetings there. "
They said they think it's still just a little ... only have 4 teams, while the same type of event attracts 8 pairs with their male counterparts on the ATP circuit.
Start a tournament semifinal, it's not terrible is not it? And this is when their team instead of number 1 arises, because they speak patron leaves swinging names.
Cara Black & Liezel Huber: "At the same time, the 4 best teams in 2008 were actually well above the lot."
They said that the Bondarenko sisters, winners of the Australian Open, and only the sixth team to end the season, might have deserved a place, but we Huber stops net.
Cara Black & Liezel Huber: "Quite frankly, they have tried to play tournaments at the end of the year to qualify, but they have almost won a single match after the U.S. Open. So why have them in a Masters? And among men, when we see someone like Moodie, who has not played half of the year and who qualify in the 8 to be eliminated anyway in chickens is not a super pub pour le double
And when asked to name us their team nightmare, they have no long
Liezel Huber, "Ruano-Pascual and Suarez (multiple Grand Slam champions in the early 2000s). Whenever I was playing, I thought "How can they play like this all the time, with lobs, and again and again?" It surprised the lot when they are pressed to the net, but it asked a lot energy. It was not necessarily enhances the image of two women. "
Basically, we can say that Black and Huber are confident of their value is obvious. Even if one considers àTenFem-StreetReporters an international competition like the Masters loses much credibility sport if only two matches to win. The dual is therefore a little condemned to remain an attraction for national team competitions, where the stakes for the nation transcending a discipline that leaves us indifferent the rest of the year, despite a quality tennis interesting.
