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 […]

Roland Garros 2016 Final: Murray vs Djokovic
I had the feeling it would go this way, but still I really had hoped for more “tennistainment” in the two semi-finals of the French Open. But both Djokovic and Murray showed why they are the players to beat during this clay court season and after two clinical performances it was all set for the […]
Roland Garros 2016: Quarters and Semis
After a rain-packed second week we’re closing in on the semi-finals at Roland Garros. The remaining quarter-finals happen today around 13 CET if the weather permits. Djokovic is taking on Berdych and Goffin is playing Thiem. Djokovic has an astounding 23-2 head-to-head record against Berdych so I simply can’t see HOW Berdych can beat the […]

Roland Garros 2016 2nd Week Predictions
We’re into the second week of Roland Garros of 2016 and it’s been a topsy-turvy tournament so far with Nadal and Tsonga leaving the tournament due to injuries. Thiem has been the most solid youngster (starting to be an established top 20 player) and Ramos, Gulbis and Gasquet has been surprises. My predictions haven’t been as confident […]
Richard Gasquet’s Racquet
Richard Gasquet’s racquet is not what most people think he plays with. It is painted like the latest HEAD Extreme MP 2024 but is actually his old Head LiquidMetal Instinct Tour XL (pro stock code PT161A). The original specs over Head LiquidMetal Instinct Tour XL: Head Size: 100 sq. in. / 645 sq. cm. Length: 27.50 inches / […]
Nicolas Almagro’s Racquet
A lot of people are probably wondering what the hard-hitting Spaniard Nicolas Almagro is playing with. It’s not a Wilson, Head or Babolat so what can it be? Almagro has actually recently changed his racquet from a Dunlop 500 Tour to a Volkl Powerbridge 10 MP with a 16×19 string pattern under paint job of a Volkl […]
Roland Garros 2016 R2: Results and predictions
We’re two rounds into the Roland Garros of 2016 and it’s been a thrilling ride so far with quite a few tight five set matches. My draw breakdown and predictions are going well so far, but we haven’t seen a lot of upsets either. What I’m most impressed with so far is how well the youngsters are […]
