MOTT OPENS LAUNCESTON ACCOUNT

Blake Mott returns to the winner’s circle with an opening round win against Japanese qualifier in Launceston.

Launceston, TAS, 4 February 2020 | Asher Packman 0 10

Blake Mott survived an early scare to join a host of Australians in the second round at the Launceston International on Tuesday.

Continuing to build after a hiatus from the game – and a recent wrist injury which forced him to retire from the Australian Open wildcard playoff match against Alex Bolt – Mott was slow to start, dropping the first set, before recovering to finish strongly and take the match away from Japanese qualifier Naoki Tajima 4-6 6-1 6-2.

“We were in a bit of a battle there, but I was able to get on a roll, which was good,” Mott, 23, said.

In a race against time, Mott was able to get back in time to play the qualifying event at the Australian Open, in which he notched a solid first round win before falling to Frenchman Constant Lestienne. “That was a bit disappointing,” he said. “But I’m feeling really good now and it’s great to have the wrist back to one hundred per cent. “It’s still early days in the comeback, and I’m just seeing how I go each tournament. Every match is a bonus and I’m not putting too much pressure on myself as I ease my way back into the tour life.”

Mott will next need to get past Launceston’s top seed Marc Polmans, with the good friends now opposing each other. It was a rough day for the seeds on Tuesday, with only two of the six seeded players on court making it through to the second round. Most notably, Japan’s third seed, Tatsuma Ito, was bounced out by Argentinian Matias Franco Decotte in straight sets.

What a week! Turning up to play the Australian Open 2017 Qualifying Event after being given a wildcard  from Tennis Australia was a dream come true in itself. I had worked so hard in the lead up to prepare my body and fitness should  I receive a wildcard. I have had my best year to date and could only pray that I received one. After getting through the first round against an opponent I lost to 2 years ago was a major achievement and a step in the right direction, that felt really good and I knew I could take it to these guys at this level.

It’s amazing stuff, to be playing in my first grand slam in my home country where I grew up playing tennis, watching on TV all those years – this is truly special.

My heartfelt thanks goes to Peter Luczak who flew home cutting his Xmas short with family overseas to be here with me for my preparation … words cannot describe how much you do for me and I truly appreciate it. It worked! and I will be forever grateful.

The story goes….

“Mott beat Ireland’s James McGee 7-6, 3-6, 6-3 to score a place in the main draw and the financial security of a guaranteed $A50,000. For the world 284th-ranked Mott, he can’t wait to find out what life is like in a grand slam. “It’s amazing stuff,” Mott said on Saturday. “To be playing in my first grand slam in my home country where I grew up playing tennis, watching on TV all those years – this is truly special.”

Cairns ITF- Finalist!

This week I made it through to the Final of the Cairns ITF Futures event. I started really well in the Final, and then lost my way early on in the second set and will be first to admit that “I got complacent and looked too far ahead” before I knew it, I was 0-2 down. Chris played really strong and got the better of me and never gave in.

I take a lot of positives out of this week and the last week, and that is that my serve is improving after extensive work on that part of my game before I left for these two ITF events.

I now look forward to next week a Challenger event in Traralgon, Victoria, which is good for me, it is close to home and Peter Luczak my coach will be with me again at this event. Onto next week and a good start for me to the Australian Summer of Tennis. thanks for everyone for their support!

“O’Connell takes seesaw final in Cairns

Chris O’Connell has overcome a 0-6 start to take the Cairns Pro Tour title over Blake Mott.

Hi everyone,

My first tournament back since my return to Aus has been great, to which I made the Final. Unfortunately I lost to Jamere who played well and got the win 7-6 7-6.

“I thought I played pretty well when I was down but maybe could have been a bit more aggressive when I was up,” “I felt like I had a couple of really good opportunities but didn’t quite grab it by the horns. That’s the ebbs and flows of tennis. I understand that’s how it goes,” “You’ve just got to keep chipping away and bringing the same competitive attitude and giving it your all.”

“It’s my first tournament of this Aussie summer campaign, so for me it’s great to get some matches and it’s a good start.

Thanks to Hutchinson Builders who put on a fantastic event, thanks to all the lines people and ball boys and girls. What a great week! Thanks to everyone and especially Peter Luczak my coach and mate Marc Polmans.

Onto the next tournament starting Wednesday for me  at Cairns ITF F 8.

This is a great article. A must read by Allistair McCaw

Letter to a young athlete

“Reality is, you are never going to realize your potential, if you can’t master this one thing”. Dear Athlete, Here’s something I’d like to share with you that I’d wish someone would have told me when I was growing up and playing sport. Fact is, like it or not, you’re not going to play well or the way you’d like to, every time you step out to compete. In fact, You won’t even win playing your best either sometimes. Here’s the reality: You will have more days that you ARE NOT going to be playing to how you’d like to. Part of the reason why athletes get so down on themselves is due to their expectations and the fact that they want to play ‘their way’ every time they step out to compete. The truth is – it’s impossible. That might sound a little negative, but it’s the reality. You have always got to expect the best from yourself, (be confident), give your very best, but be prepared and ready to handle the way you are going to think when you aren’t playing how you’d like to. It’s not all going to go the way you plan it. You can’t control that. But you can control how you are going to react it. Great athletes are great, not because they have brilliance, but because they are more self- accepting of their mistakes. They just know how to deal with it better. They are consistent in their habits and routines too. That’s the reason they’ve won some of their biggest games or tournaments playing far less from their best. I once read this great quote and it stuck: “In the heat of battle (competition), you don’t rise to your level, you sink to the habits you have created in your practices”. I love this quote because it’s so true. As a sports performance coach, I keep reminding the athletes I work with, that you become your habits under pressure. So, they better be good ones! I just read a piece on former French Open Tennis champion Gaston Gaudio. This is what he said: “Most of the time you don’t play the way you want, things don’t go the way that you would like to, so you have to manage that”. Key word: “Manage” (Mindset management) Many years back, whilst living in South Africa I worked with Graeme Smith, The former South African cricket captain. This is what he said to me: “I know I’m not going to play the want to every time, but I can control how I’m going to think about it”. NBA star, Lebron James said that it’s impossible to play 80 odd games a season and expect to be firing on all cylinders every game. What matters is that I’m trying my hardest every game, putting in the work. Some players put so much pressure on themselves thinking they can rock the floor every night! it’s impossible! Good friend and Maria Sharapova’s coach Sven Groneveld once said: “To win a Grand Slam (7 matches) it’s impossible that you will play great every match. You have to expect a few less than great matches along the way.” Another client of mine, 3 time World Squash Champion Ramy Ashour, went to the 2014 World Championships knowing he wasn’t anywhere near 100% fit, after 8 months being out injured. Being in touch with him by phone after each match, he simply said: “I got through, even though not playing my best, but all that matters is that it was good enough for today to play tomorrow again”. This is what a winner and champion understands; Just accept it and get through it! In my experience of working with athletes of all levels, I’ve found that it’s those with perfectionist like personalities who are most likely to hurt their own performances by not accepting that they aren’t playing as well as they’d like to. But before I finish, let me share these 3 things with you: 1. A successful athlete accepts that they aren’t going to play their best every time they step out to compete. 2. They understand that success lies in the consistent control of their habits, emotions and mindset. 3. A Successful athlete understands that in order to win on their ‘bad’ days, they need to continually give their best effort and believe they can actually win. They don’t let a negative or bad attitude get in the way. Young athlete, If there is just one more thing I want to leave you with, it’s this: You are not defined by what you do or by your results. Rather, you are defined by WHO you become and how you handled the journey. Good luck. Yours Sincerely, Allistair McCaw

Hi everyone,

Hitting with Novak has been another huge week and highlight for me. I got to know Novak a little bit more each day along with his coach Boris Becker. I learnt a lot off him and it was a privilege and honour of being asked to hit and warm up the No.1 in the world that I will never forget. I wish him the best for his Final. I also thank him for our tickets to the Quarter Finals night against Kei Nishikori. I also during my week warmed up Milos Raonic, Kei Nishikori and Tomas Berdych.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to say thanks for all the people that supported me this week at Traralgon Challenger, my coach Peter Luczak, Dad and Peter Hiscock who came and cheered me on yesterday, Wilson and Rob Aivatoglou.

I felt I played really well and came so close to such a great player in Alex. I will take a lot from that match and played to my plan but need to work even harder and leave behind what let me down at the end, and try to focus now on Canberra tomorrow. We sign in this afternoon.

Hi everyone,

I’m back in training and happy to announce that I have a new coach Peter Luczak. Peter is a retired professional tennis player for Australia. His career-high ATP singles ranking was World No. 64, achieved in October 2009. At the 2010 Commonwealth Games held in Delhi, Peter won the Gold in the doubles. Pete recently has been travelling with his great mate and pal Lleyton Hewitt, as coach and hitting partner in tandem with Tony Roche.

I am so happy to have Peter as my coach and happy to playing again. I train here in Melbourne now for six weeks and then hit the road for the Australian Pro Tour leading into the Australian Open.

Thanks to Wilson, Rosy Kids Foundation and Andrea & Rob Aivatoglou who works tirelessly when I’m not 100% and is such a great support for me, organising strings, racquets and everything else and a great Manager and friend.

Here is the schedule: http://www.tennis.com.au/tournaments/calendar?tournament_type=Pro+Tour&tournament_filter=true

Hitting with Andy Murray

After playing qualifying and making it through to the 2nd round. I played A Kudryavtsev (13) seed and lost 2-6 4-6. It was a great experience and unfortunately I injured my arm and could not play to my full potential.

I then rested for a week and started hitting with top players warming them up for their matches on the Friday of the first week.

I hit with Kei Nishikori, Andy Murray and Stan Wawrinka. It was a great week I now head to Burnie International see next post for all the details.

Hi everyone,

I played my best tournament to date this week at the Melbourne Challenger at Rod Laver Arena. I made it through Qualifying http://www.atpworldtour.com/posting/2013/6863/qs.pdf beating 2 seeded players ranked 688 and 461 being Mitchell Krueger (USA) in the final round to qualify. I then went on to play two fellow Aussie players Nick Kyrgios and Jordan Thompson http://www.atpworldtour.com/posting/2013/6863/mds.pdf which I got through and then faced off against Matthew Ebden in the Quarter Finals Australia’s ranked No.4 player and Davis Cup player who is ranked World No. 110 in singles. I lost 4-6 1-6. I am so happy with my week and hope to take that confidence and belief into Traralgon Challenger starting Tuesday where I have received a wildcard into the main draw.

Traralgon Main Draw: http://www.atpworldtour.com/posting/2013/6865/mds.pdf

Thanks to Marc McGowan at ACELAND TENNIS for his coverage of the week. http://acelandtennis.com.au/news/179-inspired-mott-turns-giant-killer-at-melbourne-atp-challenger.html

“Blake Mott maintained his rich vein of form with two wins at the Melbourne ATP Challenger today.

BLAKE Mott has enjoyed few, if any, better days in his tennis life than this one.

Dual wins over fellow teenagers, ‘Next Big Thing’ Nick Kyrgios and in-form Jordan Thompson, delivered qualifier Mott a Melbourne ATP Challenger quarter-final place.

The New South Welshman will also climb to a new career-high ATP ranking inside the top 650 – even if he loses his last-eight clash with countryman and world No.109 Matt Ebden.

“I’m a bit shocked, actually,” Mott said, moments after reaching the quarter-finals.

“It was quite a unique day; playing twice, obviously, and I knew I’d have two tough matches … I was just trying to be a bit optimistic.

“I spent some time with (Ebden) last year in the Davis Cup and that was a huge time. It’ll be good to play him and go out there and have a crack.”

Seventh-seeded Kyrgios’ much-discussed right elbow injury overshadowed Mott’s first-up 6-3 7-5 triumph this morning.

The Canberrian played under clear duress and rarely did more than roll his first serve in, but Mott, not intimidated by the occasion, did what many could not.

He capitalised.

Seventeen-year-old Mott’s returning was first class and he pounced on anything short.

A frustrated Kyrgios audibly wondered at one stage whether he had ever been dictated to so much on serve.

Mott even fought back when he trailed 4-2 in the second set, breaking Kyrgios twice from that point to score a landmark win.

It was his second success over a former junior world No.1 inside a month after beating South Australian Luke Saville in Sydney.

Kyrgios later tweeted he should not have played.

The rain, such a nuisance for most, proved Mott’s saviour in his second-round clash with Thompson.

Thompson reeled off six straight games to go 6-4 2-0 ahead when play was suspended.

Mott’s response once the contest resumed was to claim 12 of the next 14 games to post a 4-6 6-3 6-1 victory.

“My coach told me to just get away for a bit and that, obviously, worked and I came out and felt a bit more refreshed and ready to go,” Mott said.

“There was some good tennis out there today and I’m just pumped to be playing tomorrow. I’ll just go and do the right things now and prepare.”

Mott has taken a different route to this point compared to many of his junior rivals.

He spent two months playing against open-age opposition in Turkey at the start of 2011 in a major baptism of fire as a 14-year-old and has mostly avoided the junior circuit.

“That was a personal choice I made with my dad, who was coaching me at the time,” Mott said.

“We always thought the game style I wanted to play, which I thought would get to the top level – where I really want to be – was to be aggressive.

“I was playing juniors in under-14s and I won an ITF and I watched the video of it and it was really defensive. It wasn’t the game style I wanted to play.

“I decided I didn’t want to get caught up in that, so I am willing to go under the radar a bit. I don’t need all the fame just yet.””

Hi everyone,

I lost my second round match here at the Sydney F10 Futures event in a three set match to Jose Statham ranked 300 in the world. While I was so disappointed with how the match finished for me, I take away some inspiring comments from Statham on us younger guys and will continue to work hard….“Some of these younger guys are playing some really good tennis, despite their ranking,” Statham said.

“They are playing top-100 level of tennis. Before I came to Sydney, four tournaments in a row I played a top-100 player – and some of these kids are playing at that level.

“They’re playing really good tennis, but it’s just about consistency and not wavering and trying to keep an even level throughout the match.

You can read the full match summary on behalf of Mark McGowan of ACELAND Tennis here at http://acelandtennis.com.au/news/144-sydney-tournament-starts-now-for-statham.html Thanks Mark.

I now travel back to Melbourne for a Challenger event starting on Monday the 21st October and will sign in for qualies tomorrow.

Tuesday 16 July 2013 -

Hi everyone,

I played my first round match here at Granby Challenger Canada today. I went down 6-7 3-6. I played well in the start and was up in the first set 5-3 with a set point. I got a little nervous and lost that opportunity. I felt I gained so much experience for playing a player who has been as high as 60 last October in the ATP rankings. His experience really showed and I felt I did my best and will take a lot away from this event. I want to thank Grant Doyle who was here for me as a Coach and Mentor and gave me so much encouragement and support. All the boys here have been great and I have loved the experience. Hope there is many more to come. cheers Blake

Hi,

My experience at the Australian Open 2013 was unforgettable and very memorable. I was asked to be a hitting partner by Maria Sharapova, Janko Tipsarevic and Richard Berankis.

I hit twice with Maria Sharapova and found the crowd whilst very overwhelming, certainly a great experience and was a very exciting time for me.

My match in the Juniors event of the AO did not go as I would have liked, the nerves affected be bad, the doubles went a bit bitter with a win in the first round. With the crowd more afforded to a Main Draw match we thank all the Aussies that turned out and cheered us on with Flags and chants of Oi Oi Oi. I am now of the belief that I need more tennis at that level, and that atmosphere. I have only been use to maybe a single person watching overseas on the Futures circuit ( if one). I’m now back overseas and will return on the 10th February hoping to qualify for the Futures events in Melbourne.

Cheers Blake

Hi everyone,

I’m here in Barcelona, Spain playing the Junior Davis Cup. We played our first round against Morocco and won 3-0.

Below is the table as it stands. Cheers Blake

Hi everyone,

Being part of the Davis Cup environment here in Hamburg with the Australia’s Davis Cup Team has been the most memorable and enjoyable experience for me, even though they went down in the 5th rubber, it has definitely taught me how important the team atmosphere is, they are a great bunch of guys, so I am really keen to ensure we have that same great team feel in our Junior Davis Cup team and I can see how critical it is to success. I now head to Spain, Barcelona with the other Junior Davis Cup team members and captain Mark Woodforde. The key to our success against the Spanish team will be for us to play to our potential. The Spanish team will be tough because it is being played on clay, and while it is not our favourite surface but we are certainly not afraid of it.

‘‘I am confident that we have a very talented team, a good captain who will give us the benefit of his enormous experience and I think we can get a good result.’’

Here is a link to my story on my Davis Cup experience. I will be back in 2 weeks to play some Aussie Futures before the Australian Open summer starts. See you then

Hi everyone, I lost my 1st round qualifying match today, I won the first set 63 and was up 4-3 and a break in the second set, I got broken for the first time in the match and at 4-4 had a couple of break points to go up 5-4 and serve for it but played too tentatively. He played better at this point and continued to do so. I let out a few CMONS when I had chances and he was right back in my face.. That’s tennis… I am very let down at the fact that I could not seize the opportunities. Will train hard and get back on track. Cheers Blake

Doubles: http://www.atpworldtour.com/posting/2012/349/mdd.pdf

Hi everyone,

I lost my first round match today 57 26 but I am happy with how I played, I had a couple of chances at 3 all in the first set I saved a couple of break points, I listened to what Peter had to say yesterday and came in on my opponents backhand with the off forehand and won the point every time. At 4-3 I had a break point but my opponent came up with a good serve out wide which I made cross court and then Marc hit a very good backhand up the line which I could barely get a racket on. At 5 all I saved a break point at 15-40 with a good serve out wide, I felt I fought hard to the end.  I thought I played good and the match was tough, my opponent was a lot stronger and was 6 years older and I will learn from this match and get stronger. We are going to practice hard now and look forward to our doubles togther tomorrow. Cheers Blake

Hi,

I got a bye first round of qualifying and won my final round 6-1 6-1, I was a bit nervous early in the match as it was my first match back on the clay, and then won the next 15 points in a row. The match felt a bit closer than the score and I saved a few break points in the second set. I will let you all know how I go today.

Hi everyone,

Being around Australia’s Davis Cup team has been just awesome ! I have been hitting with Bernard, and he has been really good to me. I have had a match with Peter Luczak after opening my big mouth and saying I could match it with him. He took the challenge up ! I have also had hits with Pat Rafter and coaching by Tony Roche. I had a doubles match against Guccione and Pat. Along with my Orange Boy duties getting towels, sending racquets for restringing, I’ve had plenty of hitting and fetching balls.. ha ha .

I did my “Rookie Speech” at the Davis Cup Dinner last night and it brought roars of laughter. I was so nervous before doing it as it went to the tune of Slim Dusty’s “I want to have a beer with Duncan” song.. Although words were changed and it took on a slightly lighthearted dig at all the team members, no one was left out.. even Bernie’s BMW. I had a great night and look foward to tomorrow’s Davis Cup matches against China ..

This experience will never leave me and I am even more inspired and determined than ever before by being around these guys. Thanks to Pat, Tony and TA for selecting me for this, I will never forget this experience.

Cheers Blake

Hi Everyone,

I am still training with Lleyton, I will always be grateful to Lleyton for this experience and the most intense training sessions I have ever had. Its something most young tennis players dream about but never get, I hope one day I can give back like Lleyton’s done with me. I thank Tony Roche for his advice and his experience he has helped me a lot. It’s also so rewarding to be able take one our local little tennis players from Bulli Tennis out to meet Lleyton, Kyle loved coming for the day and helped with picking up all the balls.

Hi, I arrived home as a surprise to everyone. We came home to get into some gym, fitness and strengthening work over the next month or so in preparation for Australia’s summer of tennis from December through to late January 2012. I will have a break from tennis for a few weeks, have a rest as I have been overseas since April. I feel i really made some great accomplishments overseas and the hard work paid off, arriving home with my career best ATP ranking of 1314.

This tournament has been my first Main Draw win. I have now secured my first ATP professional points. I made it through the first round 3-6 6-0 6-2 and yesterday won my second round match 7-5 6-1. I am so happy, for all the hard work and persistence, feel I am really pushing these guys and all the goals I have set myself are coming through. We have worked really hard to be here and feel this is something my Dad and support team truly believed I was capable of, how close it was and and now it has happened, I want to keep going..
