Dare the Shot You Fear – Backhand
It’s the shot that most people have great trouble executing properly – the backhand. Then you look at guys like Novak Djokovic or Andy Murray (double-handed backhand) or Stanislas Wavrinka or Richard Gasquet (one-handed backhand) and it looks so damn SIMPLE! So how do you improve this often weaker wing? Well, you obviously have to […]

Young Guns of Tennis – Who Will Make It
Being spoiled with the era of Federer, Nadal, Djokovic and Murray – I’m worried that the coming generation won’t be up to the same standard. I know it’s almost impossible to reach the drama of the last 8-9 years, but I want to keep watching tennis and I want to enjoy it to the max. […]

Viktor Troicki – Breakdown of the Year
Viktor Troicki hasn’t played his best of late, but this is a great show! I get the feeling he’s right and Cedric Mournier is too ashamed to admit it. Tennis can be a crazy sport and that’s another reason to love it.
TOP SPIN – A Nadal Practice Session
It’s hard not to be mesmerised by this clip of a Nadal practice session. Look at Nadal’s shots and how the ball loops into the air and then the rotations start and it lands in. For a guy who hits a pretty flat shot, this get me very jealous. I find practice videos the best to […]
The GOAT debate – Federer or Nadal…or Djokovic?
GOAT stands for Greatest Player of All Time and the discussion of who can rightfully claim that “title”. Since Federer holds many of the records, especially the heaviest one with 17 Grand Slam titles, most people seem to think that he deserves the GOAT distinction, but when he keeps losing to Nadal and Nadal keeps […]
Nadal So Good It’s Boring – Beats Federer
I had high hopes for the Rome final. Federer had looked good all tournament and not dropped a set and was about to commence batte for his first Rome title ever and Nadal had had some problems, especially with Gulbis. It should be a pretty even match, I thought. In my stupidity. In a one-sided […]
HEAVY-HITTERS: Gulbis and Janowicz
Yes, it’s a squirrel holding a bazooka. What else did you expect? Guys like Gulbis and Janowicz should get a license for their racquet. They pack so much firepower in their shots you think the ball is going to go straight through the fence and out beyond the court. Today they both showed what destruction […]
