Best string for Wilson Blade
I’ve found my go-to racquet. It’s the Wilson Blade 98 (2015) that I’ve leaded up to 345 grams (strung) and put a leather grip on it to make it more head light. I truly love the control-oriented yet modern feel which allows me to take big cuts at the ball. Right now I’m experimenting with […]
The legendary rivalry renewed
The blog has been silent for a while. Reason being perhaps that I think the air kind goes out of the tennis season when the final slam of the year is played. As a long time Federer fan it might also be that the two losses to Djokovic in slam finals stung too much and […]
Player of the year: Djokovic
Federer played a great season, did almost everything well, but in the end he came up short to the player of the year and the indisputable world number one, Novak Djokovic. For a Federer fan the slam season was both good and bad, two finals is a pretty amazing result, but when you’re Roger Federer, […]
This guy
Fabio Fognini surprised us all by becoming the only player so far in history to beat Nadal from two sets down (previously Rafa was 151-0 in matches where he lead by two sets). It was a topsy-turvy affair with lots of breaks, unforced errors and 70 spectacular winners coming out of Fognini’s racquet. The scoreline […]
The latest…tennis week 30
Here’s a summary of what’s going on on the ATP Tour right now: Frenchman Benoit Paire won his maiden ATP title at Swedish Open in Båstad. In a week with really bad weather and some tough opponents he managed to win 10 straight sets. Impressive! Most of us know that the 26-year-old has a big […]
Choosing a tennis racquet
I have written a lot about choosing a tennis racquet. Why? Because it is such a big deal to many players. Myself included. Partly because I am genuinely interested in tennis technology, and partly because it actually does make a difference. When you are a hundred percent confident with what you wield on the tennis […]
Fedisappointment – Djokovic wins Wimbledon
It’s hard for a Federer fan not to feel anything but empty after the a final that never really felt…good and that ended 6-7 7-6 6-4 6-3. Djokovic was his usual wall and impressively quick on his feet, but Federer wasn’t close to the performance he mustered against Murray. His first serve was off, he […]
It’s time…Federer vs Djokovic – Wimbledon 2015
It’s arguably the match of the year. With Nadal and Djokovic playing that one-sided quarterfinal at the French Open surely this must be the one to rule them all. After last year’s five-setter it’s hard to picture one of the players to walk away with this easily. But then again, if one were to do […]
How good is this guy?
So impressed by the Federer composure. 7-5 7-5 6-4 against a Murray who I thought was in top form. We have that final again, Federer vs Djokovic, and this time I feel it’s Federer’s turn. 18th slam, here we come. Some great highlights from Ace Tennis.
Back from Wimbledon – what I saw
Got to enjoy the men’s quarter-finals live in Wimbledon and here are some likely incoherent thoughts: You could see in the training that Gasquet is doing something differently. I watched for a good 15 minutes and I don’t think he missed a ball. And it’s not like he was slicing them over either. The guy […]
