The Lob: The Best of the Racket Toss 12/19/02 11:46 AM By Greg Laub, USTA.com 過去幾年, 世界職業網球選手有一個共通點: 摔拍.從脾氣好到脾氣壞的,這讓我們這些 fans有一些短暫的餘興節目可看.從一些重要因素,我們排出了摔拍排名. 分數從1到10計算: 創意分: 普通/特殊ㄉ摔拍 生動性: 情緒綜合其強度與運動家精神 困難度: 有其他球員可做到嗎? 表現分: 煽動群眾者, 是否是故意ㄉ. ---------------------------------- 16.Mary Pierce (1994) 創意分: 2 生動性: 1 困難度: 2 表現分: 1 總得分: 6 If we found out that she actually caught the racket off the bounce and played on with it, she'd score much higher. --------------------------------------------------------- 15.Jan-Michael Gambill (2002) 創意分: 2 生動性: 3 困難度: 2 表現分: 3 總得分: 10 Sure he looks upset, and the racket may bounce like crazy (big points), but it's on the way down, so we'll never know. ----------------------------------------------------------- 14.Serena Williams (2002) 創意分: 3 生動性: 2 困難度: 2 表現分: 5 總得分: 12 Pretty much anything Serena does is a crowd pleaser. But this is nothing special. Perhaps we've finally found a weakness in her game. ------------------------------------------------------------ 13.Conchita Martinez (1995) 創意分: 5 生動性: 3 困難度: 3 表現分: 6 總得分: 17 Presentation points for distance, but we've seen Conchita more emotional than this before. ------------------------------------------------------------- 12.Yevgeny Kafelnikov (1999) 創意分: 3 生動性: 8 困難度: 1 表現分: 6 總得分: 18 He basically just dropped the racket, which anyone can do. But that reaction is priceless. -------------------------------------------------------------- 11.Pete Sampras (1994) 創意分: 6 生動性: 3 困難度: 3 表現分: 8 總得分: 20 Any emotion from Sampras tends to be exciting. Plus, we added points for the outside shot he's using his tennis magic to make the racket float. --------------------------------------------------------------- 10.Martina Navratilova (2000) 創意分: 4 生動性: 7 困難度: 2 表現分: 8 總得分: 21 We admit, if this wasn't an all-time great it would just be another racket toss. But it's Martina, and she is rarely this upset. -------------------------------------------------------------- 9.Richard Krajicek (2000) 創意分: 5 生動性: 8 困難度: 3 表現分: 7 總得分: 21 Krajicek put an awful lot into this, and it shows in the follow through. But either the racket didn't bounce well, or he was ripped off by a quick trigger finger on Mr. Brunskill. -------------------------------------------------------------- 8.John McEnroe (1990) 創意分: 9 生動性: 7 困難度: 2 表現分: 6 總得分: 24 John McEnroe. Racket tossing. Come on. Plus, there's a good chance he walked away and let it just fall to the ground. ------------------------------------------------------------ 7.Marc Rosset (1997) 創意分: 5 生動性: 10 困難度: 4 表現分: 7 總得分: 26 Now that's animation at it's best. He probably wishes he put that much effort into the point he just lost. -------------------------------------------------------------- 6.David Nalbandian (2001) 創意分: 9 生動性: 1 困難度: 8 表現分: 10 總得分: 28 It doesn't look like he is upset enough to have bounced his racket that high, so we're going to go on the assumption that it just decided to attack him. ------------------------------------------------------------- 5.Lleyton Hewitt (2002) 創意分: 4 生動性: 8 困難度: 10 表現分: 8 總得分: 30 Bounce points, bounce points, bounce points. The grass surface helps, but a six foot bounce deserves it's props. -------------------------------------------------------------- 4.Tommy Haas (2002) 創意分: 4 生動性: 10 困難度: 9 表現分: 8 總得分: 31 Is this what Rosset and Krajicek were trying to do? Tommy probably just wanted it more than those guys did. ------------------------------------------------------------ 3.Roger Federer (2001) 創意分: 10 生動性: 8 困難度: 7 表現分: 8 總得分: 33 Wow, he's actually going punch the racket down after tossing it, isn't he? What will those young kids think of next, kicking it? ------------------------------------------------------------ 2.Juan Carlos Ferrero (2002) 創意分: 10 生動性: 5 困難度: 10 表現分: 9 總得分: 34 You heard me, didn't you Juan Carlos. Nice kick. A little more emotion and you might have earned yourself the most points. --------------------------------------------------------------- 1.Marat Safin (2000) 創意分: 8 生動性: 10 困難度: 10 表現分: 10 總得分: 38 Did we mention that breaking a racket in two is the ultimate accomplishment? This is just classic Safinator, at his very best. --
