Summing up Rome Masters
Nadal again. Of course. No one would have thought anything different. But he lost a set. He had to fight off Ferrer, and he didn’t look quite as impossible to beat as last week. 7-5 6-2 in the final. It was a rainy, patchy affair, extremely well played at times. Here is the best point […]
Another good afternoon
Ferrer is putting up a brave fight against Nadal. Surprising and very nice to see!
Anger management

Andre Agassi – Open
The best tennis biography I have read…here is an excerpt. “Standing in the bathroom mirror, toweling off, I stare at my face. Red eyes, gray stubble – a face totally different from the one with which I started. But also different from the one I saw last year in this same mirror. Whoever I might […]

Ernests Gulbis
This man made the heart of many tennis fans stop yesterday for a little while. He fought the clay king with all his might and was close, oh so close, to getting the impossible W. Yesterday’s match against Nadal in the Rome Masters semi-final was the best match so far this clay season and hopefully […]
