First Ball In: Rally Point

First Ball In
Steve Darcis
Steve Darcis, who upset Rafael Nadal at the 2013 Wimbledon, won his U.S. Open first-round qualifying match today.
A sweat-soaked Steve Darcis stepped off Court 9 after winning his U.S. Open qualifying match today, turned left and walked right into his career crest. Wrapping up a 6-0, 7-6 (5) win over Inigo Cervantes, Darcis stopped to sign autographs when one young boy in a blue baseball cap thrust a photo of Darcis, in all his Wimbledon glory, before the 30-year-old Belgian. Darcis signed it with a polite nod and moved forward.
Reminders of a career-defining triumph still swirl around him while Darcis continues his comeback. Only 14 months ago, Darcis played "the best match of my life" producing an astounding 7-6 (4), 7-6 (8), 6-4 upset of Rafael Nadal in the Wimbledon opening round. Now, about 10 months after undergoing shoulder surgery, he's ranked No. 365, fresh off a Futures title in his native Belgium and trying to reach the U.S. Open main draw for the first time since losing to Stan Wawrinka in a five-set thriller at the 2012 Flushing Meadows major.
"I need matches," Darcis told us after today's win. "I can do better. I cannot serve fully right now. There's no easy point with my serve...I have to play every point hard; it's tough when you get tight."
Minutes after stunning Nadal last summer, elation turned to devastation as the throbbing pain his right shoulder intensified. Darcis, who believes he injured his shoulder diving to the lawn in the opening set, says he knew before leaving the All England Club that day his shoulder injury was serious.
"I was like up here," he said raising his hand above his head to illustrate the level of exhilaration after his upset. "Ten minutes later, I was down here...In 10 minutes everything was down. It was very good then it was very bad. That's tennis."
Surgery last fall did not exactly allay concerns over his competitive future.
"The surgeon told me he was not sure I could play anymore...I had doubts every day [about coming back]," said Darcis, who paused to accept congratulations from fellow pro and friend Michael Llodra, passing by with his young son. "For two months I stayed on the sofa. I could not lie down. You don't do nothing for two months but sit on the sofa and you have doubts."
Blue kinesiology tape snaked around his shoulder and poked out beneath his right sleeve and nerves slithered to the surface when Darcis failed to serve out the match at 5-4 today. Serving at 5-6, Darcis delivered the kind of shot-making dazzle that lit up Centre Court. Gliding inside the baseline, he belted a one-handed backhand drive volley out of the air, followed it forward and angled an exquisite drop volley. Asked why he showed such little emotion after winning such a vital point with stirring shot that would have elicited at least a fist pump from many players, Darcis smiled and replied, "I was tired."
Darcis, who says he spent time earlier this summer practicing almost daily with the now surging David Goffin, will play 14th-seeded American veteran Michael Russell in the second round.

worth it, huh, Darcis?

Defending champion Rafael Nadal has pulled out of the U.S. Open because of a lingering right wrist injury. This is disappointing and sad news, yet somehow you can’t help but think that Roger Federer is suppressing the urge to do cartwheels, and Novak Djokovic suddenly may find the motivation that seemed to be lacking in his last two tournaments, the Toronto and Cincinnati Masters.
Nadal’s main foes have been, in rough chronological order, Federer, Djokovic, and Andy Murray. But now it seems that his chief enemy is his own body, a body in rebellion against the rigorous, physically grueling brand of tennis that has always been Nadal’s trademark.
This is the second time that Nadal is unable to defend his title at a major. Due to tendinitis in his knees, he also missed Wimbledon in 2009. And in 2012, he surrendered a chance to defend his runner-up finish at the U.S Open (knees, again). I can’t think of a single Grand Slam champion who was unable to defend a title because of injury, although it’s hard to imagine it hasn’t happened.
But twice?
This latest injury also has some long-term implications for Nadal’s legacy. In the big picture, we might be looking at this season a turning point in Nadal’s career. Heading into this year with 13 Grand Slam singles titles to his credit, it looked as if 2014 might be the year when Nadal begins a final, successful push to surpass Federer as the all-time Grand Slam singles champion (Federer has 17 Slams). Given his prowess at the French Open, it certainly seemed like all Nadal would need in the near future to turn that corner was a win at one of the other major venues.
Nadal reached the final of the Australian Open in February—defeating Federer along the way—where he found himself facing Stan Wawrinka, a quality player but one unfamiliar with the championship round of a major. Wawrinka won that match, during which Nadal clearly was affected by some sort of back injury. All credit to Wawrinka; he showed no sign of wavering or choking, and thoroughly earned the win. But it certainly was bad luck for Nadal, and yet another episode in his struggles with competitive fitness.
Thereafter, Nadal did what Nadal does best: He won the French Open to bag Grand Slam title No. 14. Despite winning Wimbledon twice, Nadal has been mortal at SW19 of late. This year, he fell victim to a classic Wimbledon upset inflicted by young Aussie prospect and, at the time, world No. 144 Nick Kyrgios (the 19-year-old is up to No. 59 now).
But at least Nadal wasn’t dealing with physical impairments in that match—or he didn’t think he did, until he picked up his sticks again and began to work out for the summer hard-court season. Within days, his right wrist was in a splint, and he called off his commitments to the two hard-court Masters but held out hope to play in New York.
Now, Nadal’s drive to equal or surpass Federer is stalled, and the prospects for its future are uncertain. The King of Clay is 28, so he might be able complete the ultimate mission without having to leave Stade Roland Garros. Andre Agassi was almost 31 when he won Roland Garros in 2001, and if you believe in omens, Andres Gimeno of Spain won Roland Garros in 1972 at the age of 34 years, 10 months, and a day (he remains the oldest French Open champion of the Open era).
The implications of Nadal’s absence for the U.S. Open are profound, and Federer fans are undoubtedly feeling heartened. The Swiss veteran is on fire, having won Cincinnati and placed second in Toronto; he’s the hottest player on the ATP World Tour. And nobody dumps a bucket of cold water over Federer’s flames as consistently and effectively as Nadal. We’ll leave it at that, since the last thing the world needs is another story about how well Nadal’s forehand matches up with the Federer one-handed backhand. 
Meanwhile, “What’s wrong with Nole?” stories are sprouting like mushrooms under rotting logs. Although the top-ranked Serb won Wimbledon, he was no factor in the two summer Masters events. Newly married, Djokovic seems to be loving life and feeling pretty mellow. But if Nadal’s abdication at the U.S. Open doesn’t light a fire in his belly, he’s less a warrior that we think.
Andy Murray, down to No. 9 in the rankings, might also find renewed enthusiasm for the last major of the year on the heels of Nadal’s decision. Murray is like a roadside bomb at hard-court events—you never know where or when he’s going to go off. But Nadal has been good at diffusing Murray, winning seven of the last eight matches they’ve played.
Other, less vested players will also have improved chances. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga is rejuvenated, Grigor Dimitrov is an emerging star, and unpredictable talents like Ernests Gulbis and frustrated veterans like David Ferrer will also feel emboldened.
The one thing all the contenders share is the knowledge that, with some luck, they could get to the final, and perhaps even win it, without having to face at least two of the Big Four. And the three members of the Big Four who are playing will know that, with a little luck of their own, they may have to play as few as one match against a Grand Slam peer.
Once the U.S. Open starts, it will be easy to forget that the throne where Nadal ought to be ensconced is vacant. People forget quickly, and even at the best of times, tennis is a “what have you done for me lately?” game. But at the moment it’s sobering to contemplate Nadal’s future. It certainly looks like that muscular, kinetic game is beginning to catch up with him. It’s hardly surprising. He’s been at it on the pro tour since his mid-teens—that’s over a decade of punishment.
Then again, punishment is something Nadal has handed out as liberally as he’s absorbed it. Unfortunately, he won’t be handing out any this year at Flushing Meadows.

note from doctor Cotorro
"He could not recover for the requirement of US Open"
Rafael Nadal's doctor said Monday that the Spanish tennis player did all that was in his hand to recover facing the United States Open, but admitted that there was enough for the time wrist pains disappear.
"We were talking about three weeks. We were in the final stage, but could not recover for implying the requirement for a US Open, which is a five-set," he told dpa Dr. Angel Ruiz-Cotorro, medical Nadal staff.
The world number two resigned Monday to US Open, a tournament that begins within seven days and where defending title, not recover in time from a right wrist injury he suffered in training on July 30. The Spanish could not dispute the events in Toronto and Cincinnati.
Cotorro said the joint Nadal is not ready to hold five-set matches over two weeks. "The requirement begins from the first ball. When you go to these tournaments have to be on top and we have not had enough time," said a doctor on the Spanish Tennis Federation (RFET).
"What was lost was the US Open where possible. Rafa has done everything that had to do training every day, but when it is not one hundred percent ..." said Cotorro. "He was very excited, but also knew it was difficult."
The doctor said Nadal, 28, will continue in the coming weeks with recovery, but did not venture to predict a date for his return.
"The process is continuing with the resposo, physiotherapy and rehabilitation. Continue doing tests in the coming days," he told dpa Cotorro. "You have to give more lead time to heal well."
