Some lines for Albert Montanes
The man may not have the build like his compatriot tennis sensation Rafael Nadal, or the seductiveness of Fernando Verdasco, however the Spaniard Albert Montanes still manages to turn heads during the ATP World Championship.
Grabbing his second trophy of the year on Sunday, the twenty nine years old player from Barcelona showed that his victory on the second tier of the spell was not at all a mere coincidence.
Knocking down Roger Federer in Estoril previously this season for his fourth career trophy, Montanes took advantage from ankle damage to Gael Monfils in Stuttgart for his 5th career trophy. Making effective use of his deceivingly, strong one handed backhand, Albert’s off the apex smash serve is always tough to judge.
In the present day of tennis, where Tour victory in Spain has reached remarkable ratio, Albert has showed that just because he is heading towards the duck of his career, there's no point of relaxing at all.
Grabbing up almost eighty percent of his Tour hardware after twenty eight years of age, Albert’s healthy and positive game has taken the man to his career high ranking of number twenty four few days ago. Making his way into the round number three of every single Major thus far in this year, Albert may not urge for his very first Grand Slam trophy anytime shortly, however he is absolutely one to see when the draws are relegated.
There has always been an appealing attribute about players who enjoy taking complete advantage of their aptitude. It's not only about triumphing at Wimbledon or gaining the ATP rankings as the lengthiest standing number one in fact it is more about the sense of honouring their profession and believing that their day work is to visit and swindle a forehand.
With the entire thrill that has revolved around the Cristiano Ronaldos and Dennis Rodmans of the world, Albert has sustained and exceeded what a shining example in sports should be: energetic and loyal sportsmen who get up every morning with the only aim of progressing.
There is not any measure of speculation in expert’s mind that Alberts looks ahead to championships like Bucharest, Estoril as well as Umag. The surfaces are normally not that heavy, and Alberts can allow his hits move with a higher level of self assurance.
It is not that Alberts doesn't wish to be tested by the lofty fields in the city of New York or even Australia more than everything, the Barcelona indigent has admitted that his period to sparkle will probably come at 250 point championships.
According to the experts, it is simply is a delightful characteristic for a Tour contester to have. To be truthful, how many contesters who are plugging away in the Futures as well as Challengers championships wouldn't go up for an opportunity to grab a Top twenty five ranking along with a total of two Tour trophies on the season?
Obviously, players like Roger Federer as well as Rafael Nadal wouldn't be standing in that queue; however there is no question that the Taylor Dents as well as Janko Tipsarevics on Tour would be more than obstinate on stuffing that place.
Greeting Albert Montanes for his struggle, it's once again an honour to see a contester who is not searching for billboard category, rather simply to enjoy the brilliant experience of moving all around the world and suggesting a ball man that he requires a towel.
There may only be no one like Rafael Nadal however the world of tennis in general would definitely experience some more Albert Montanes in the upcoming years.
