Wimbledon Draw Predictions: Federer’s turn?
Wimbledon has become a far more dramatic tournament than Roland Garros and the results have been very difficult to predict. But this is how tennis should be! Federer got a “get out of jail free”-card against a “bring-back-US-Open-2014-monster-serving-Cilic” and luckily for my own nerves I was on a tennis court myself at the time of […]
Sam does the impossible
In my predictions I gave Sam Querrey a 40% chance to finish what he started against the world number one, Novak Djokovic. Djokovic had done it before (against Kevin Anderson last year) and like I wrote on Twitter: “Djokovic will come back poised & with a clear strategy while Sam will feel like he can […]
Wimbledon Draw Predictions: R3 onwards
The nasty weather in Europe continues and Wimbledon has become a quite hard tournament to follow. My plan was to predict the matches ahead of each round and post accordingly, but it’s become difficult to keep up the rhythm with all the broken rounds so I will post all my predictions for the rest of […]
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 […]
Is Dominic Thiem the next tennis superstar?
The buzz is in the air and on the grass. Austrian wunderkind Dominic Thiem has just won his 4th tournament of the year at the Mercedes Cup in Stuttgart and is now ranked 7th in the world at 23 years of age. Some spectators marvel at his power, some say it’s ALL, and maybe too […]
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 […]
