Monte Carlo Masters 2017 – Nadal fights, Wawrinka rolls
It was another glorious day (weather-wise and tennis-wise) in Monte Carlo. Especially for Stan Wawrinka who didn’t have any issues whatsoever in dismissing Jiri Vesely in straight sets. For you racquet nerds it’s good to mention that Vesely was playing with a blacked-out Srixon racquet with what looked like a really small head size. It […]
Monte Carlo Masters 2017 – First impressions
I’m in Monte Carlo this week, watching the Masters and I won’t be posting as regularly perhaps but wanted to give some first impressions since this is my first time at the tournament. From what I saw: Djokovic was tested against Simon in a tight three setter. Simon served for the match at 5-4 in […]
Match for Africa: Roger Federer and Bill Gates
It’s time for the fourth charity event in the Match for Africa series. This time it takes place in Seattle and features Roger Federer, John Isner and Microsoft’s Bill Gates (along with other celebrity guests). Net proceeds will go to the Roger Federer Charitable Fund/Roger Federer Foundation. The Roger Federer foundation has so far donated […]
Federer GOAT-ing in Miami
Roger Federer defeating his eternal foe Rafael Nadal three matches in a row? Sounds almost impossible doesn’t it? But it happened with Federer’s impressive 6-3 6-4 win in Miami Open. Sealing the third title in four attempts in 2017 and an impressive 19-1 win record. What does this mean for the rest of the season? Well, […]
Federer’s Year
I was going to put a question mark after the wording “Federer’s Year” initially since there’s only been 3,5 months so far, but even if he didn’t win another match you can still call it his year. At soon 36 years of age, Roger Federer has won his 18th slam and 25th Masters title (with […]
Murray and Djokovic out of Miami Masters
On the eve of the all-Swiss final in Indian Wells where Stan Wawrinka takes on 18 grand slam champ Roger Federer, world number one and two, Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic, announce that they won’t take part in Miami Masters next week. It’s a significant loss for the tournament and the tour and will give […]
Kyrgios withdraws and hands Federer semi-final spot
It was a highly anticipated match. Federer (and especially his one-handed backhand) was on fire against Nadal in his 6-2 6-3 win and Kyrgios looked supremely confident in his straight sets win over Djokovic. They had only played once, with Federer losing a narrow battle after three tie-breaks. But Kyrgios had to withdraw due to […]
Fedal number 36
It’s happening again, the two best players of all time, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal face off for the 36th time with Rafa leading their head-to-head 23 to 12. To me, Nadal has looked sharper so far, but Federer looks to be in a playful mood and is serving well which is the key for […]
Indian Wells 2017: Federer d Robert
After Murray’s surprising loss to Pospisil, you started wondering if there were more upsets in the pipeline in the 2017 edition of Indian Wells. But Nadal looked supremely confident against Pella, Federer beat Robert and Djokovic fought through a tough challenge in Britains 22-year-old Kyle Edmund. Jo-Willy Tsonga, however, who have had such a stellar […]
Murray beats Kohlschreiber after epic tie-break
Philipp Kohlschreiber (who still swings the legendary Wilson Six One 95 line successfully) is one of those players who possess more talent than his results shows. He has the skill set to beat the best but often seem to lack the resolve and the mental toughness. Never was this more evident than yesterday, when he […]
