Fernando Verdasco Carmona tennis player from Spain photo

Fernando Verdasco Carmona (born 15 November 1983 in Madrid) is a professional tennis player from Spain. He is currently the second-highest ranked Spanish tennis player, ranked number 9 in the world. Verdasco started playing tennis at four years of age and had a full-time coach when he was eight. As of 2009, Verdasco has been working in Las Vegas with Andre Agassi and his team including Darren Cahill (Agassi's former coach) and Gil Reyes (Agassi's fitness coach). Verdasco has aided Spain in winning two Davis Cup titles, winning the deciding match in both 2008 and 2009.

2010 career information

Fernando started his 2010 campaign at the exhibition tournament AAMI Kooyong Classic in Melbourne, in preparation for the upcoming Australian Open. He beat Fernando Gonzalez 7-5, 6-1 on day one, and crushed Novak Djokovic 6–1, 6–2 on day two, to reach the final where he faced Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. He won 7–5, 6–3 against him in the final.

His first official tournament for the year was in the Australian Open. As the 9th seed, he defeated Australian Carsten Ball in the first round 6–7(4), 7–6(1), 7–5, 6–2. He then easily defeated qualifier Ivan Sergeyev 6–1, 6–2, 6–2 in the second round. He entered the fourth round after his third round opponent Stefan Koubek was forced to retire when Verdasco was leading by a set. He bowed out in the fourth round against Nikolay Davydenko in a five set thriller, 2–6, 5–7, 6–4, 7–6(5), 3–6. Commentator John Alexander and others believe that Verdasco was not as fit as he was this time last year.

His next tournament is the SAP Open in San Jose, California, starting February 8th and he is the second seed. Notably, he changed his racquet sponsors to Yonex, so he will be using Yonex racquets from now onwards. Before his first round match, he won an exhibition match against Pete Sampras in straight sets [6–3 7–6(2)]. In the first round of the tournament he defeated Yen-Hsun Lu 6–3, 6–7(6), 6–3. In the second round, he defeated Benjamin Becker, 7–5, 6–2, and then qualifier Ričardas Berankis in the quarterfinals 6–3, 7–6(5). He fought past Denis Istomin 6–3, 2–6, 6–4 to reach the final, and defeated Andy Roddick in the final, 3–6, 6–4, 6–4 to capture his fourth ATP singles title. This was his first win over a Top 10 ranked player since the 2009 Australian Open.

However, his energy was sapped after his win in San Jose. He arrived at the 2010 Regions Morgan Keegan Championships in Memphis, only a day after the tournament started and he didn't have time to practice on the tournament courts. As a result, he was ousted in the opening round 6–7(4), 3–6 by Jérémy Chardy.

At his next tournament at Acapulco, played on red clay, Verdasco defeated Fabio Fognini in the first round, 2-6, 6-4, 6-0 and Lukasz Kubot in the second, 6-4, 6-3. He lost to Juan Monaco in the quarter-finals 7-5, 6-3.

Seeded 10th (and as a result, receiving a bye into the second round) at the 2010 BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, he beat Ramón Delgado 6-4, 6-1 in the opening round. However he self-destructed in his third-round match, losing to Tomas Berdych 0-6, 3-6.

At the 2010 Sony Ericsson Open, he received a bye in the first round and in the second round, beat Dudi Sela 6-1, 6-2. In the third round, he beat Jurgen Melzer 3-6, 7-6(4), 6-1. in the fourth round he beat Marin Cilic 6-4, 7-6. In the quarterfinals, he once again lost to Tomas Berdych 6-4, 6-7(5), 4-6.

At the 2010 Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters as the 6th seed, he received a first round bye and defeated Julien Benneteau 6-2, 6-1 in the second round. In the third round, he once again faced Tomas Berdych, the tenth seed and prevailed in three sets, 5-7, 6-3, 6-2. Verdasco then defeated Albert Montañés in the quarterfinals in three sets, 6-3, 6-7(4), 6-0 to reach his first masters tournament semi-final. He defeated the number 1 seed Novak Djokovic 6-2, 6-2 to reach his first ever Masters 1000 final, to meet five-time defending champion Rafael Nadal. It was the first all-Spanish final of a Masters 1000 event since Monte Carlo in 2002. However, he was dominated by Rafael Nadal, 0-6, 1-6 in the final. Despite the lopsided final, Verdasco had done enough to ensure a return to the Top 10, at #9.

Verdasco played the following week at the 2010 Barcelona Open as the fifth seed. After a first round bye he defeated Richard Gasquet for the fifth consecutive time, 7-5, 6-3. He then posted a come-from-behind victory to beat the 11th seed Jurgen Melzer 3-6, 7-6(1), 6-3 in the third round. He defeated Ernests Gulbis in the quarterfinals 6-2, 7-6(4). In the semifinals he fought from a set and break down to beat David Ferrer 6-7(3), 7-5, 6-1 to reach his second final in two weeks. He faced Robin Soderling in the final, and he won 6–3, 4–6, 6–3. Verdasco's win here ensured that this tournament is dominated by Spaniards for the 8th consecutive year. It is currently the biggest title he has won to date.

In the 2010 Internazionali BNL d'Italia, after a bye in the first round he defeated Simone Bolelli 7-6(11), 6-3, saving multiple set points in the first-set tiebreak. He defeated Guillermo Garcia-Lopez in the third round 6-4, 7-6(2). He will face Novak Djokovic in the quarterfinals.

Playing style and equipment

Verdasco is an offensive baseliner who is comfortable on all surfaces, with fast hard courts being his best^[4]. Verdasco considers his best shot to be his forehand^[5]. His serve is characteristic of a left-handed player predominantly using slice to create a lot of spin, and is capable of speeds exceeding 210 km/h. He is known for rivaling compatriot Rafael Nadal with the amount of topspin he can put on a . Verdasco has been known for making mistakes during important moments in matches and sometimes losing concentration. He has been showing improvement in this area which partly explains his improved results since 2009, but still struggles with his nerves when facing the best players in the world. He is endorsed by adidas (he wears the Edge Group clothing and Barricade V shoes) and recently switched to Dunlop Sport for racquets, after having played with Tecnifibre for the majority of his career (and with Yonex for a very short time in 2010).

Verdasco learned to play tennis when he was trained by his father on two hard-courts adjacent to his family home while he was growing up.

Carlos Moya Llompart Spanish picture

Carlos Moya Llompart (Catalan: Carles Moyà, Spanish: Carlos Moyá; born 27 August 1976) is a former World No. 1 tennis player from Spain. He was the French Open singles champion in 1998 and was the singles runner-up at the 1997 Australian Open. In 2004, he helped his country win the Davis Cup. He currently resides in Switzerland. Although he plays with his right hand, he is naturally left-handed – the opposite of fellow Majorcan Rafael Nadal.

He is one of four currently active players to have won over 500 matches at ATP level.

Tennis career

In 1997, Moyá reached his first Grand Slam final at the Australian Open, defeating world number three Michael Chang in the semifinals in straight sets, before losing in straight sets to Pete Sampras.

In 1998, Moyá won the French Open. He defeated fellow-Spaniard Álex Corretja in the final in straight sets. He also won his first Tennis Masters Series tournament that year at Monte Carlo. He reached the semifinals of the US Open, losing to Mark Philippoussis. He concluded the year by finishing runner-up at the ATP World Championships (now known as the Tennis Masters Cup), where he lost in a five-set final to Corretja.

In March 1999, after finishing runner-up at Indian Wells, Moyá reached the World No. 1 singles ranking. He held the top spot for two weeks. Later that year, he entered the French Open as defending champion, and lost in the fourth round to Andre Agassi (who would go on to be that year's champion). At the US Open, Moyá withdrew in the second round with a back injury and only played in two tournaments for the rest of the year.

In 2000, despite being hampered with a stress fracture in his lower back from the 1999 US Open through the early part of 2000, Moyá still managed to finish top 50 in the world for the fifth straight year. He reached the fourth round of the US Open, where he held a match point in the fourth set but eventually lost to Todd Martin in an epic five-set marathon 6–7, 6–7, 6–1, 7–6, 6–2. Moyá's best result for the rest of 2000 was winning at Portugal.

In 2001, Moyá won the title at Umag. He also finished runner-up at Barcelona, where he lost in a four-hour marathon final to countryman Juan Carlos Ferrero.

2002 saw Moyá win four titles from six finals. He captured his second career Tennis Masters Series title, and the biggest hardcourt title of his career, at Cincinnati, where he defeated World No. 1 Lleyton Hewitt in the final.

Moyá captured three clay court titles in 2003. He also helped Spain reach the final of the Davis Cup, compiling a 6–0 singles record. In the semifinals, he won the deciding rubber against Gastón Gaudio as Spain beat Argentina 3–2. He beat Mark Philippoussis on grass court in the final. But that proved to be Spain's only point as they lost the final 3–1 to Australia.

In 2004, Moyá helped Spain go one better and win the Davis Cup. In the final, he won two critical singles rubbers against Andy Roddick and Mardy Fish, as Spain beat the United States 3–2. The year also saw Moyà capture his third career Masters Series title at Rome, where he defeated David Nalbandian in the final (6–3, 6–3, 6–1). He was the only player on the tour to win at least 20 matches on both clay courts and hardcourts that year.

In July 2004, Moyá's kind hearted gesture to hit with ball boy Sandeep Ponniah at the 2004 Tennis Masters Series Toronto event captured audiences during an injury timeout against opponent Nicholas Kiefer of Germany. To the crowd's surprise, Ponniah shuffled Moyá across the baseline and received an ovation for an overhead smash on a Moyá lob.

Moyá won his 18th career title in January 2005 at Chennai. He donated his prize money for the win to the 2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake victims.

In January 2007, Moyá was the runner-up at the Medibank International in Sydney, Australia, losing to defending champion James Blake.

In May 2007, at the Hamburg Masters, he defeated Mardy Fish, World No. 12 Tomáš Berdych, World No. 9 Blake, and World No. 6 Novak Djokovic, a run which saw him reach his first Masters semifinal since 2004 Indian Wells. After reaching the semifinals against Roger Federer, Moyà lost 4–6, 6–4, 6–2.

Moyà lost against Nadal in straight sets in the quarterfinals of the 2007 French Open.

During Wimbledon, Moyá lost in the first round to Tim Henman in a 5-set thriller, the fifth set stretching to 24 games (Henman won 13–11). Despite the loss, Moyá had no points to defend (he had not played a grasscourt match in a few years), resulting in moving to World No. 20, his first time inside the top 20 since 13 June 2005.

In July 2007, Moyá won the Studena Croatia Open in Umag, Croatia, defeating Andrei Pavel (6–4 6–2). The win brought him to World No. 18 in the rankings, his highest rank since 23 May 2005, when he was World No. 15.

In August 2007, Moyá lost to Marcos Baghdatis in the first round of the Montréal Masters. At Cincinnati, one week later and just two weeks shy of his 31st birthday, he beat David Nalbandian 7–6 (4), 7–6 (2), World No. 3 Djokovid 6–4, 6–1, and Juan Martín del Potro 7–5, 3–6, 7–5 (after being down an early break in the third set) to set up a quarterfinal clash with Lleyton Hewitt.

In 2008 at the Cincinnati Masters, Moyá defeated Nikolay Davydenko 7–6(8), 4–6, 6–2 which was played over the course of two days because of rain. Hours after his match with Davydenko, Moyá beat Igor Andreev 6–4, 7–6 (2).

Moyá made a slow start in 2009. He failed to progress beyond the second round of his first 4 tournaments, including a first round loss at the Australian Open. In March 2009, he announced that he would have an indefinite hiatus from tennis to recover from injured tendons and ischium in his hip.^[3] He returned to professional tennis in January 2010 losing 6–3, 7–6 against Janko Tipsarevic in the first round of the Chennai Open, then losing in the first round of the 2010 Australian Open to Illya Marchenko, 7–6, 7–5, 6–3.

Charles Wade Barkley basketball picture

Charles Wade Barkley (born February 20, 1963) is a retired American professional basketball player. Nicknamed "Sir Charles" for his aggressive and outspoken demeanor, and "The Round Mound of Rebound" for his unusual build and talent, Barkley established himself as one of the National Basketball Association's (NBA's) most dominating power forwards. He was selected to the All-NBA First Team five times, the All-NBA Second Team five times, and once to the All-NBA Third Team. He earned eleven NBA All-Star Game appearances and was named the All-Star MVP in 1991. In 1993, he was voted the league's Most Valuable Player and during the NBA's 50th anniversary, named one of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History. He competed in the 1992 and 1996 Olympic games and won two gold medals as a member of the United States' Dream Team. In 2006, Barkley was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.

Barkley was popular with the fans and media and made the NBA's All-Interview Team for each of his last 13 seasons in the league. He was frequently involved in on- and off-court fights and sometimes stirred national controversy, as in March 1991 when he mistakenly spat on a young girl, and as in 1993 when he declared that sports figures should not be considered role models. Short for a power forward, Barkley used his strength and aggressiveness to become one of the NBA's most dominant rebounders. He was a versatile player who had the ability to score, create plays, and defend. In 2000, he retired as one of only four players in NBA history with 20,000 points, 10,000 rebounds and 4,000 assists, although a fifth player, Kevin Garnett, has since accomplished that feat.

Since retiring as a player, Barkley has had a successful career a color commentator on basketball. He works with Turner Network Television (TNT) as a studio pundit for its coverage of NBA games.^[4] In addition, Barkley has written several books and has shown an interest in politics; in October 2008, he announced that he will be running for Governor of Alabama in 2014.

Early life

Barkley was born and raised in suburban Leeds, Alabama, ten miles (16 km) outside of Birmingham, and attended Leeds High School. As a junior, Barkley stood 5'10" (1.78 m) and weighed 220 pounds (99.8 kg). He failed to make the varsity team and was named as a reserve. However, during the summer Barkley grew to 6'4" and earned a starting position on the varsity team in his senior year. He averaged 19.1 points and 17.9 rebounds per game and led his team to a 26–3 record en route to the state semifinals. Despite his improvement, Barkley garnered no attention from college scouts until the state high school semifinals, where he scored 26 points against Alabama's most highly recruited player, Bobby Lee Hurt. An assistant to Auburn University's head coach, Sonny Smith, was at the game and reported seeing, "a fat guy... who can play like the wind". Barkley was soon recruited by Smith and majored in business management while attending Auburn University.charles barkley shoes
