Tennis Books You Have to Read

ATP Halle and Queens Day 4: Mannarino Beats Del Potro
The big upset of the day was French youngster Mannarino beating Del Potro in two tiebreak sets. Del Potro looked very uncomfortable on the grass, slipping and sliding like a Bambi on ice.

French Open: Nadal Too Good For Federer
It was excruciating at times for Federer fans such as myself, but in the end you just had to give it to Nadal who was too good on the most important points and at times played his very best clay court tennis in his 7-5 7-6 5-7 6-1 victory. But it was Federer who took […]
French Open Final: Nadal vs Federer
And so here it is, the match we’ve been waiting for, another grand slam final between Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer. In some way this final feels different then the previous ones, especially since they played their last GS final against each other in the 2009 Australian Open 2,5 years ago. A lot has happened […]
