From Clay to Grass in One Day
We’re in a hectic part of the tennis season right now.

Tennis impressions by Josh Berry and something different
Thanks to Tennis Express I found this really funny video of Josh Berry imitating the top four players in the world, in order of appearance: Nadal, Federer, Murray and Djokovic. (Please note that the featured pic is something different. Very different.) Well done, Josh! Made me laugh. On another completely unrelated note, Matt Cronin of Tennis […]

On the heels of a Federer early-round loss there ‘s always talk about when he’s going to retire, whether he’s lost his appetite for the competitive aspect of the sport and the possibility of the surprising defeat being the start of his downfall.
