Novak Djokovic won the Australian Open 2019
Novak Djokovic won the Australian Open 2019 after beating Rafael Nadal with the surprising scoreline: 6-3 6-2 6-3. Djokovic made only nine unforced errors in the final and five in the semi-final. But even with that spectacular form, how come Rafa couldn’t make it into more of a match? There should be no huge surprise […]
The New Rafael Nadal
I have just witnessed the New Rafael Nadal beat Stefanos Tsitsipas in Australian Open in straight sets: 6-2 6-4 6-0. Was Tsitsipas bad? No. Rafa was amazing. And not in his old, ball-chasing-never-give-up way, but by being aggressive and punishing every short ball. Before the Australian Open there was talk about an improved service motion […]
Andy Murray will retire in 2019
This morning (in Europe) tennis nerds woke up to the sad news that Andy Murray will retire in 2019. The hip problems that have bothered him for a long time causes too much pain for him to keep playing. That is why he will try to end his career in Wimbledon 2019, but he is […]
2019 ATP Season: First Impressions
The 2019 ATP season is underway and some interesting matches have already been played in Brisbane, Pune, Qatar, and Perth. Sadly, Rafael Nadal withdrew again, this time with a thigh injury. He has a record of withdrawing/retiring in his last 18 hard court tournaments. Except for one. Which he won. It is a shame not […]
Is the Laver Cup here to stay?
I enjoyed the Laver Cup a great deal and it culminated in a thrilling final day where Federer and Zverev had a topsy-turvy experience doubles and singles experience that resulted in Team Europe winning the tournament in the end. So…is the Laver Cup here to stay? The level of excitement the players bring to this […]
Novak Djokovic wins the US Open 2018
Simply too good. That is the best way to describe Novak Djokovic (or should we say Novak “Djokowall”) after his impressive straight sets win 6-3 7-6 6-3 over Juan Martin Del Potro in New York. I am simply not surprised to write the words: “Novak Djokovic wins the US Open 2018”. Djokovic’s return from injury […]
Roger Federer’s Future in Tennis
I thought the headline Roger Federer’s Future in Tennis was dramatic enough to get some clicks. I am usually not a big fan of click baits, but after Federer’s loss to Millman at the US Open yesterday the question makes sense. It was the draw that scared the Fed fans beforehand, but after his straightforward […]
Support Tennisnerd and get a t-shirt
Tennis is a sport that often invites a passionate and nerdy relationship. I started Tennisnerd with the humble idea of broadening the knowledge about tennis racquets, strings and gear without bias to sell a certain product or brand. And here I am asking you to support Tennisnerd and get a t-shirt! The idea with Tennisnerd […]

Should there be a fifth set tie-break at Wimbledon?
The finals in the men’s Wimbledon 2018 has just been set and it will be between Novak Djokovic and Kevin Anderson. Both came through marathon five set matches. Anderson won 26-24 in the fifth set and Djokovic won 10-8. This has raised the question: should there be a fifth set tie-break at Wimbledon? Wimbledon is […]
