Ash Barty Wins Wimbledon
We predicted it all along! :) Ash Barty wins Wimbledon after defeating Karolina Pliskova 6-3 6-7 6-3. It’s her 2nd grand slam title. Ash Barty wins Wimbledon after being ranked number one in the world in the WTA rankings and seeded 1 at Wimbledon. She was the better player all along in the final, but Pliskova, […]
Wimbledon Final Predictions – Berrettini vs Djokovic
It’s time for the last two days of Wimbledon 2021 and here are my Wimbledon Final Predictions for Berrettini vs Djokovic. The semi-finals on the men’s side went pretty much as expected (the women’s semi-finals are detailed here), but I must applaud Shapovalov because he came out all guns blazing, taking no prisoners, playing awesome […]
Karolina Pliskova’s Racquet
I got a few questions about Karolina Pliskova’s racquet. It doesn’t look like the most recent Pure Drive so what is it? Karolina Pliskova’s racquet is most likely what she has used since her junior days. An older version of the Babolat Pure Drive. Going back in time, you can see pictures of her using […]
Wimbledon Final Predictions – Barty vs Pliskova
I was right about Barty, but wrong about Pliskova. Let’s see if I can get my Wimbledon Final Predictions right. Ash Barty played her best match of the tournament in the Wimbledon semi-finals to defeat Angelique Kerber. I managed to predict the outcome of this match in my semi-final predictions. I have had Barty as […]
Wimbledon Semi-Final Predictions 2021
Early this morning I published my Wimbledon Semi-Final Predictions 2021. Some exciting matches to look forward to. I didn’t go for any shocking updates for my Wimbledon Semi-Final Predictions 2021. They are all pretty straightforward. The one I am not feeling too sure about is the match between Hurkacz and Berrettini, but I have picked […]
Wimbledon 2021: Hurkacz vs Federer
In my Wimbledon 2021 quarter-final predictions, I thought Medvedev would beat Hurkacz, but instead, we have a Hurkacz vs Federer match-up. I also predicted that Medvedev would beat Federer and now I have to rethink this. Hurkacz vs Federer. Can Hurkacz beat Federer? Yes, he can. He has played Wimbledon without much pressure to his […]
Wimbledon Day 8: The favorites win
I got pretty much everything right in my Wimbledon Day 8 quarter-finals prediction for the ladies’ singles tournament. All the favorites: Sabalenka, Barty, Pliskova and Kerber came away winning their matches in straight sets on day 8 of Wimbledon 2021. Looking at the tournament as a whole, this was the least exciting day with straightforward […]
Wimbledon 2021 Day 7: Berrettini, Shapovalov and Federer
There were four players on cruise control on day 7 of Wimbledon 2021. It was Berrettini, Shapovalov, Djokovic and Federer. The other players had a long day with some impressive battles. Berrettini took the air out of Ivashka’s sails with a 6-4 6-3 6-1 win. Shapovalov was as good as he was against Murray in […]
Andy Murray discusses his racquet on Twitter
Andy Murray discusses his racquet on Twitter, yeah you read it. He had a Twitter convo with Brad Gilbert about his racquet setup. That’s why we love Andy Murray, right? He doesn’t shy away from taking his opinions or emotions publicly, which is endearing to me. The topic is timely, because it’s obvious that he […]
Grigor Dimitrov’s racquet – Player Profile
Updated September 2024.If you’re a racquetholic and watched Wimbledon, you might have noticed Grigor Dimitrov’s new racquet. What is it? I’ve gotten several messages about it. Everything from players just wondering what it is and also from people who are close enough to “the action” to be in the know. I don’t know the specs, […]
