All about Andy Murray’s Techniques to Sony Open Victory

ten_u_murray1_sy_400

Everyone is talking about the most dramatic final this year!!!It is the Murray – Ferrer match and after winning in the year 2009, at last Murray go up to number 2 ranking as he defeated Ferrer 2-6, 6-4, 7-6 in the Sony Open. We all waited for this moment except for some of you had problems watching the first 20 minutes at CBS…

The match lasted for two hours and forty-five minutes with an overall of 15 breaks of serve. Ferrer thought it was his day but nah~ Murray didn’t let it to happen! Second set came but Ferrer had a hard time to play well simultaneously as everybody believes that he also needs to present extra constructive shots if he really wants to be the victor.

In contrast, the humble Murray quoted “If I’d served better I could have made it easier and that’s something I need to do better in the clay court season,” Just so you know Murray is the seventh competitor who won numerous titles in Miami and still pushy to be the most excellent player. Will he be in rank 1 next time? What can you say about this?

Both drained and in fierce conditions during the last set, they still gave what the audience wanted. You may say, it will not be effortless for Murray to win if Federer and Nadal did not pass over the tournament hence I am sure fans of the two marvelous players are all happy win or lose.

The Remarkable Moment of Sharapova

It was undeniably a thrilling day for Maria Sharapova as she won the Indian Wells title. What happened to Wozniacki? She played sound but it was not her day I reckon. The Russian girl showed various outstanding hits and techniques in playing Tennis even if she went through a vast pressure over Caroline Wozniacki. Furthermore we all noticed that she improved a lot since 2006 and we all expect that 🙂

It is without doubt a breath-taking match at the BNP Paribas Open Tennis Tournament and she made Wozniacki run from side to side during the one hour and twenty minutes play. She truly believes that if you really work hard for something it will be paid off. Thanks to her coach – Robert Lansdorp without his help Sharapova will not make it to the top. Sharapova quoted “I went through different types of coaches but Robert helps out physically and mentally as well as he put my game in place” unquoted.

So if you are an aspiring player and loves Tennis so much, do not lose hope practice a lot and make her as one of your inspiration because you will never know sooner or later you will be a PRO like her.

Nike Women Launches Nike Training Camp #NTC with Serena Williams, features Nike+ Fuel Band

Nike, this year’s #1 Most Innovative Company according to FastCompany, has launched a new campaign around fitness and endurance. Serena Williams, the top female tennis player, has partnered with Nike to support the campaign under the tagline “You can become strong and powerful and beautiful”. Nike and Serena have developed a series of workout routines not just around tennis, but focused on core body strength using drills similar to Pilates exercises.

BTS 1

Serena is not only sporting cool Nike wear, but also impressive high tech gadgets like the Nike+ Fuel Band, which you can wear on your wrist and measure your daily steps and calories burned. Not only does it look like it’s part of the next Star Trek movie set, but it also tells time and earns Fuel points, an important bragging data point among its owners. Tennis players on Tennis Round could add another competition element to their list – Nike Fuel points. Or maybe we can even compare who takes fewer steps during a match and wins anyway!

BTS-6

Nike+ Fuel Band folks can see how they measure against their peers and claim the top spot for the day or the week, in terms of number of steps traveled or total calories burned. The super slick Nike+ FuelBand app has a stellar 5 star rating on the Apple App Store. It syncs effortlessly with the Band at the press of a button and displays performance data right on your iPhone, and is just a pleasure to work with.

Nike+ Fuel Band comes in black and white color, and in the white version you can even see the chips and electronics through the see-through material.

The Nike Training Camp #NTC app itself provides training routines and drills for athletes to use when customizing their workout.

BTS-5

Nike has left us very few excuses not to get out and train. Now to top it off, they’ve made us accountable to each other, as we’ll be sharing our activity data with our friends. So, when in doubt, check your Nike app to see if it’s time to get off the couch. Or just ask your friends.

Launch Festival Winner Will Rent Satellites To the Public

What an amazing conference the 2013 Launch Festival was. Full of energy, enthusiasm, passion, great ideas and above all solid work and products.

The Launch team, lead by Tyler Crowley @steepdecline and Kirin Kalia @kirinkalia had clocked long hours prepping presenters to deliver tight stories to the crowd and the jury of judges. And it all paid off. The pitches came from the standpoint of a narrative, contextually relevant to the story they told. We could all feel part of the problem and part of the solution.

My favorite startup was Nanosatisfi – www.nanosatisfi.com – affordable satellite access. These guys make satellites. Who knew!

I wonder if one day, we could use their satellites to monitor the activity on any of the 200,000 tennis courts in the US to figure out which ones are open and which ones are busy. Wouldn’t that be nice?

Congrats to @Jason Calacanis and the Jason Nation on a fantastic event and giving everyone something to think about and something to dream of!

What Everybody Ought to Know About Serena Williams

Who would not know the famous and greatest tennis player Serena Williams?! Her career started in 1995 and became a top 10 player during 1999-2001. She got the highest ranking in the year 2002 and I will not be surprised if she will continually get triumph. In 2010, she was on top both in singles and doubles and guess what, she’s the first player who accomplished a big bang in single division even though a lot of injuries and inconsistent scores came about.

201302151255465056412-p2

On the photo above, you will witness her bliss after winning in opposition to the champion Petra Kvitova in their WTA Qatar Ladies Open tennis match in Qatar. Thrilling battle indeed! I was so sure that it’s only a piece of cake for her because she’s so excellent in playing Tennis. She’s the oldest woman who holds the WTA No. 1 and I was right! Serena Williams did it again against Petra Kvitova 3-6, 6-3, 7-5 in their last tournament.

No one can stop her as she goes forward and attain victory.  She is truly blessed with powerful hands and wit too. She is also an inspiration to the young generation.

How about you? Who is your favorite Tennis player? Have you watch the last tournament? I am excited and I can’t wait to watch their next game.

Roger Federer Quote

“Sometimes you’re just happy playing. Some people, some media unfortunately don’t understand that it’s okay just to play tennis and enjoy it. They always think you have to win everything, it always needs to be a success story, and if it’s not obviously what is the point. Maybe you have to go back and think, Why have I started playing tennis? Because I just like it. It’s actually sort of a dream hobby that became somewhat of a job. Some people just don’t get that ever.” – Roger Federer

FitBit Clocked 12,000 Steps in My 3 Set Tennis Match

I’ve recently started using FitBit and feel really proud of the stats, when I remember to wear it. In my 3 set match last night I traveled about 12,000 steps. Normally I walk about 4,000 – 5,000 steps every day, so adding some tennis in my routine can double and tripple my mileage. 

Check out the spikes around 6:30pm to 9:30pm. That’s the match. And it looks like each game is about 400-500 steps. Who knew! fitbit dashboard tennis steps
