How to Play Winning Tennis by Rod Laver
Sometimes it’s refreshing and entertaining to read old books. Last week I stumbled upon an old classic in a used book fair called “How to Play Winning Tennis” by a certain Rod Laver. It offers Grand Slam champion Laver talking about his career, interspersed with tennis instruction and general advice such as “use the Eastern […]

Djokovic rules the hard courts
It wasn’t an impossible bet by any means that Djokovic could win both Indian Wells and Miami. He did so beating Roger Federer in a nail-biting Indian Wells final and Rafael Nadal in a not so nail-biting Miami final. Yes, yesterdays final left me wanting something more, but Nadal looked sluggish and Djokovic played brilliantly […]
Nadal and Djokovic in Miami final?
It sure looks like we’re heading for a 40th match between world number 1 and 2, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic in Miami. They sure are favourites in today’s upcoming matches, Nadal vs Berdych and Djokovic vs Nishikori. I think Nadal has a tougher task today. He has lost to Berdych before and the Czech […]

Federer Practising at Indian Wells
Thanks to the brilliant site Roger Federer Fans there are some cool videos of Federer practising at Indian Wells. He starts his tournament tomorrow. The first one is a session with another favorite – Grigor Dimitrov and the second one with Tommy Haas. One-handed backhands for the win! I’m still extremely curious about the specifications […]
Indian Wells 2014 – Tennisnerd predicts…
ATP World Tour writes today that Nadal’s road to the title in Indian Wells look complicated. They’re right. He needs to get through Murray, Federer and Djokovic to win the title and with his absence from the hard courts since his injury in the Australian Open final, there should rightly be doubts about his ability […]
Darth Vader Tennis Racket? Wilson Blade 93
Got the opportunity to play-test the new Wilson Blade 93 (2013) tennis racket and for a mid-size racket it hits like a dream. You get a sense of the scalpel-like feel already when you pick it up and weigh it in your hand and hitting with it is nothing short of spectacular. I felt completely […]
