Wimbledon Draw Predictions: R2
Federer vs Willbomb, Brown vs Kyrgios, Wawrinka vs Del Potro. Blockbusters galore in round 2 of Wimbledon 2016. A couple of matches are not yet played due to rain, but I give it a go anyway. Would love to hear your thoughts about these predictions in the comments. These are my predictions for Wimbledon round […]
Nike Court Roger Federer Collection
Roger Federer has collaborated with Nike Lab to create a premium new collection called NikeCourt x RF. As you can see below the clothes are classy yet comfortable, which I think nails the personality of Federer in a good way. This collection is not going to cheap with prices with a pair of shorts or […]
Wimbledon Draw Predictions: R1
It’s time for the third and arguably most prestigious slam of the year: Wimbledon! This also means it’s time for some TennisNerd predictions. The French Open predictions went very well with 75% correct score, but I honestly think it will be tougher this time with grass being a special surface where specialists rule and ranking […]
Late to the Ball: A Book Review
When I first heard about the subject of Gerald Marzorati’s book, “Late to the Ball” I was thrilled. A book about someone of age (a writer and an editor in this case) making an attempt at becoming a competitive tennis player is exactly my cup of tea. Partly because I’m no spring chicken myself anymore […]

Open Letter to Racquet Companies
Dear Racquet Companies, People involved in tennis know about paint jobs. We know that the models used by Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray, Stan Wawrinka and many other pro players are not available to the public. I feel that it’s a bit unfair to the racquet purchasing population to keep hiding the fact that new models […]
Impressions from Mercedes Cup
After three eventful days at the Mercedes Cup in Stuttgart, I’m back home. It was my second year there and it’s a great tournament for you who want to get up and close to the players, especially if you stay in the official player hotel – the Maritim. It was nice to see Federer back […]
Roland Garros 2016 Summary
Djokovic finds long lost friend Yesterday Novak Djokovic found his long lost friend the coup de mouscetaires and managed the awesome feat of winning all four grand slams in a row (not in a calendar year yet, but anyway). It was the end of two rollercoaster weeks of “tennistainment” where rain and injury played a […]
Roland Garros 2016: Djokovic’s 12th slam
Just as I and many with me had predicted – this was truly Novak Djokovic’s year in Paris (he’s not had a bad year outside Paris either). He beat Andy Murray in the French Open final with the scoreline of 3-6 6-1 6-2 6-4 and by doing that now holds all four Grand Slam titles at […]
Andy Murray’s Racquet
Andy Murray has endorsed the HEAD Radical series for a long time. But what is actually Andy Murray’s racquet? Andy Murray’s Racquet Andy Murray has advertised the Head Radical series for many years, sort of as the successor to André Agassi. Little do most people know that he actually plays with a 20-year-old racquet in […]
