Vida temprana y personal [ editar ]
Ram nació como Andreas Ram en Montevideo , Uruguay , y es judío . [1] [2] [3] Su padre Amiram, un ex jugador de fútbol profesional de Betar Jerusalem en la década de 1950, era israelí. Después de que su padre resultó herido fue enviado a Uruguay en " shlihut " ("alcance"), y fue allí donde conoció a la madre de Ram, que es uruguaya. Ella es una especialista en odontología para niños. [4] Tiene un hermano mayor y una hermana menor. Se mudaron a Jerusalén cuando tenía cinco años, que fue cuando comenzó a jugar al tenis. [5] [6] "Fue duro al principio porque no podía hablar el idioma y estaba peleando con gente en el jardín de infancia que no me entendía", dijo Ram. "Mis padres decidieron enviarme al centro de tenis poco después de nuestra llegada". [6]
Se casó con su esposa Shiri en septiembre de 2006 y tienen 3 hijos. [4] La familia vive en Tel Aviv.[7] Ram es fanático del equipo de fútbol Beitar Jerusalem . [8] [7]
Carrera de tenis [ editar ]
Primeros años del tenis [ editar ]
"Disfruté mucho jugando al tenis, porque cuando tenía seis o siete años y ganaba torneos me sentía bien", dijo Ram. "Desde que tenía 8 o 10 años supe que iba a ser una carrera para mí. Es una vida de tenis, así que no fue tan fácil. Tienes que renunciar a muchas cosas. Cuando todos mis amigos jugaban afuera, tenía que hacerlo. No fui a todos los viajes escolares. Pero me concentré desde muy joven. Crecí practicando en el centro de tenis de Jerusalén. Pasé la mayor parte de mi infancia allí, practicando cinco días a la semana. Nunca me arrepentí disfruté cada momento. Ahora estoy cosechando las recompensas ". [6]
Ram fue entrenado por Ronen Moralli en los Centros de Tenis de Israel en Jerusalén. "Mi primera inspiración fue Jo Jo Lizmi, el famoso entrenador de tenis de Jerusalén, quien me mostró todas las técnicas básicas. Estuve con él cuatro o cinco años y me enseñó todo: cómo sostener la raqueta, el golpe de derecha y el revés. muy rudo." [6] "Pero el hombre que realmente desarrolló mi juego fue Ronen Moralli", dice Ram. "Estuvo conmigo en Jerusalén desde que yo tenía 10 años, pero luego se mudó a Wingate como seleccionador nacional". Moralli recuerda: "Cuando trabajé con Andy en el Jerusalem Tennis Center, él estaba muy, muy enérgico y lleno de pasión. Sus habilidades técnicas no eran tan buenas como las de los otros niños, pero entendía el juego. Era algo espectacular. . Sabía cuándo ir a la red, cuándo quedarse atrás. Esto es algo con lo que naces. O lo tienes o no lo tienes. Puedes enseñarlo, pero solo hasta cierto punto, y Andy nació con eso." [6]
Cuando tenía 15 años fue enviado al Wingate Institute , donde se prepara a los jóvenes atletas israelíes para que se conviertan en profesionales. [9] "No fue fácil estar lejos de tu familia", recuerda Ram, "pero sabes que va a ser tu profesión y eso es lo que vas a intentar hacer de por vida. Practicas dos veces al día y encajar en la escuela en el medio ". [6] Se convirtió en tenista profesional en 1996, a la edad de 16 años, pero no compitió en un torneo de Grand Slam hasta 2001 cuando apareció en los dobles de Wimbledon con Erlich. [10]
Fue en Wingate donde conoció a Jonathan Erlich , su futuro compañero de dobles que también nació en Sudamérica . Ram dijo: "Nos conocemos desde hace muchos años. Cuando tenía 17 años nos conocimos en Wingate y desde entonces hemos estado practicando juntos. Crecimos juntos y nos completamos fuera y en la cancha - la primera regla de los dobles es comunicación." [6] Agrega: "Yoni y yo estamos muy orgullosos de ser israelíes. Nos aman en todo el mundo, y hay una gran comunidad judía en todo el mundo que nos apoya ... En todo el mundo es así . Cuando vamos a Beijing, incluso los judíos chinos nos animan ". [6]
2002 [ editar ]
En 2002, Ram se lesionó y no jugó porque se sometió a una cirugía de rodilla y de espalda. Estuvo con muletas durante dos meses, no podía caminar y consideró dejar el tenis ". [6]
2003 [ editar ]
En 2003, Ram ganó el título de dobles en el Campeonato RCA con el croata Mario Ančić . [11]
Con su compañero Jonathan Erlich , su logro pionero fue llegar a las semifinales de los campeonatos de Wimbledon en 2003 como clasificados desconocidos. Derrotaron a tres oponentes cabezas de serie en el camino a las semifinales. En los cuartos de final, en un partido en el que ninguno de los equipos rompió el servicio, Ram y Erlich derrotaron al segundo cabeza de serie Mark Knowles y Daniel Nestor en sets seguidos: 7-6, 7-6, 7-6. En las semifinales, Ram y Erlich, los primeros israelíes en avanzar a las semifinales en cualquier evento de Grand Slam, perdieron ante los campeones defensores de Wimbledon, Jonas Björkman y Todd Woodbridge . [12]
Ram llegó a la final de dobles mixtos de Wimbledon 2003 con Anastassia Rodionova de Rusia. La pareja perdió ante la leyenda del tenis Martina Navratilova y Leander Paes . [13]
Ram sintió en ese momento que tenía que elegir si concentrarse en dobles o individuales, ya que sintió que sería difícil combinar los dos. Eligió concentrarse en dobles. [6]
Ram y Erlich luego ganaron el Abierto de Tailandia en septiembre y el torneo de Lyon en octubre de 2003. También ganaron el primer lugar en Indianápolis, Estambul, India, Rotterdam y Milán. [4]

This was the duo's first Grand Slam win after numerous ATP titles, and was also Israel's first ever Grand Slam trophy in Men's Doubles.[20] The duo also won the Masters Series event at Indian Wells, California by defeating the team of Nestor and Zimonic in the finals. After Erlich's injury, Ram was playing with other partners and won indoor titles in Vienna (with Max Mirnyi) and Lyon (with Llodra).[4]

At the 2009 Australian Open Ram and Nathalie Dechy, unseeded at the start of the tournament, defeated two seeded pairs and reached the finals, where they lost to another unseeded pair, Sania Mirza and Mahesh Bhupati from India, 3–6, 1–6.[21] Later Ram won the Miami Masters tournament with Mirnyi after reaching finals in the Indian Wells Masters. Ram partnered Erlich once again at Israel Open ATP Challenger tournament in Ramat Hasharon in May, but after losing in the final he announced his decision to keep partnering with Mirnyi until the end of 2009 season (with the exception of a Davis Cup match against Russia, where he would partner with Erlich).[22]

In 2011, Ram and Erlich won both the 2011 Winston-Salem Open and the Eastbourne International tournament.[23]
2012[edit]
In May 2012, Ram and Erlich won the Serbia Open in Belgrade.[24]
2014[edit]
In May 2014, at age 34, he announced his retirement, to take effect after Israel's Davis Cup tie in September.[25]
Davis Cup[edit]
Ram played on the Israel Davis Cup team in 2001–09, going 14–8 through July 2009. In 2007 he won two matches in Israel's 5–0 win over Luxembourg, and he won his doubles matches in Israel's 3–2 wins over Italy and over Chile (in which he and Erlich defeated Olympic gold medal winners González and Massú). In 2008, Ram and Erlich won their doubles match against Simon Aspelin and Robert Lindstedt in Israel's 3–2 loss to Sweden in the World group, and then Ram partnering Harel Levy defeated the Peruvian duo Mauricio Echazu/Matias Silva on the way to Israel's 4–1 victory, granting Israel a place in the World Group for the next season. In March 2009, partnering Amir Hadad, Ram lost in Malmö to the same Swedish pair he defeated a year earlier, but the Israeli team won 3–2 overall and proceeded to the World Group quarterfinal.[26]
Israel (ranked 8th in the Davis Cup standings, with 5,394 points) hosted heavily favored Russia (which won in both 2002 and 2006, and was the top-ranked country in Davis Cup standings, with 27,897 points) in a Davis Cup quarterfinal tie in July 2009, on indoor hard courts at the Nokia Arena in Tel Aviv.[27] Israel was represented by Ram, Erlich, Dudi Sela, and Harel Levy. Russia's lineup consisted of Marat Safin (# 24 in the world; former world # 1), Igor Andreev (26), Igor Kunitsyn (35), and Mikhail Youzhny (44; former world # 8).[28][29] The stage was set by Safin, who prior to the tie told the press: "With all due respect, Israel was lucky to get to the quarterfinals."[30] The Israeli team's response was to beat the Russian team in each of their first three matches, thereby winning the tie. Levy, world # 210, beat Russia's top player, Andreev, world # 24, 6–4, 6–2, 4–6, 6–2 in the opening match. Sela (# 33) followed by beating Russian Youzhny 3–6, 6–1, 6–0, 7–5. Israeli captain Eyal Ran likened his players to two fighter jets on court, saying: "I felt as if I had two F-16s out there today, they played amazingly well." The 10,500 spectators were the largest crowd ever for a tennis match in Israel.[31] The next day Ram and Erlich beat Safin and Kunitsyn 6–3, 6–4, 6–7, 4–6, 6–4 in front of a boisterous crowd of over 10,000.[32] "I started to cry like a little boy", said Ram.[33] Even the Saudi Gazette described the doubles match as a "thrilling" win.[34] Captain Ran was carried shoulder-high around the Tel Aviv stadium, as the 10,000-strong crowd applauded.[35] With the tie clinched for Israel, the reverse singles rubbers were "dead", and instead of best-of-five matches, best-of-three sets were played, with the outcomes of little to no importance.[36] Israel wrapped up a 4–1 victory over Russia, as Levy defeated Kunitsyn 6–4, 4–6, 7–6, while Sela retired with a wrist injury while down 3–4 in the first set against Andreev.[37] Ram said: "We have all grown up together since the age of 14. The reason we are in the semis is because we are a united team."[38]
Israel next faced the Spanish Davis Cup team in Marbella, Spain on September 18–20, in Israel's first appearance in the Davis Cup semifinals.[39]Spain won a 4–1 victory over Israel.
