Baby Fed – aka Dimitrov
I know he probably hates the nickname and it’s not really viable any longer, but lots of people are waiting for the Bulgarian to make some kind of significant mark on the ATP tour. This year so far, lots of focused has been put on him changing his racquets. From Wilson to Head to Wilson […]
Federer out, Nadal in
It was a letdown for recent ATP 250 champion Federer to lose against feisty Kyrgios in three tie-breaks (last one being 14-12) in the colourful 20-year-olds favour. As a Federer fan it was hard to see parts of that match, because at times he looked a bit slow. Especially when running around his forehands. But […]
Wawrinka vs Sousa & Ex-wife?
Has Wawrinka gotten past his second separation/divorce from his wife? After all, it seem to have been a rather nasty break-up after a letter from his wife was publicised where he was rather harshly criticised by her and blamed to be the reason for the break-up. A statement sounded: “his instability and the wish to regain freedom […]
Murray’s first clay title
Great final between Murray and Kohlschreiber in Münich. Was cheering for Kohli because he has the one-handed backhand and seems just to be a calm and collected character, but both deserved to win a tight affair that ended 7-5 5-7 7-6 in Murray’s favour. And now it’s time for them to play again in Madrid. […]
Is tennis one-dimensional today?
This is definitely a topic that is always up for debate. Everyone has their favourite era and when the GOAT discussion starts, one era is always weaker than the other etc. I grew up with Edberg and Becker as heroes, enjoyed Agassi’s unorthodox style, snoozed through Sampras dominance, regained interest in tennis thanks to Federer, […]
What can Björkman do for Murray?
Most tennis fans know that Swede and former world number 4, Jonas Björkman, has joined camp Murray. Despite getting married, Andy haven’t had a great start to the season and hopefully this can recharge his inspiration for the grass season. Yes, I don’t see how a grass court lover and doubles expert is going to benefit […]
Pro Tennis Players Are Human
I think the first two minutes of this practice video between Andy Murray and Julien Benneteau proves that.
Stiff vs flexible – tennis racquets
Stiff or flexible – don’t break your racquet in rage like Baghdatis does in the pic. I’ve tested loads of racquet during the years. For review purposes as well as “could this be the Holy Grail?” purposes. I’ve wandered from 90-inch to 100-inch head sizes, from stiff, light and powerful frames like Babolat Aero Pro […]

Mixing it up with Andujar
Congrats to Nishikori and Garcia-Lopez who both got titles this week in Barcelona and Bucharest respectively. My attention however went to the Andujar who had a great week in Barcelona and defeated David Ferrer with some really clever clay court tennis including drop shots, varying pace, spin, and finishing many points at the net. If […]
