Roland Garros: First Impressions
The first round of this year’s Roland Garros is almost over (except for Zverev having a 2-1 sets lead over doubles phenomenon Pierre Hughes-Herbert) and it’s time to look at my predictions and summarize what’s been going on so far. Let’s start with the top half of the draw. I’m pretty pleased with my French […]
French Open: Draw breakdown
For you who subscribe to my newsletter (to do so, just fill in your e-mail in the form below), I recently sent out an e-mail with my breakdown of the French Open draw. It looked like this (cut-down, low-res – pdf attached to the newsletter). I will follow up what I got right and what […]
French Open Draw 2016
The French Open Draw was done today and is published on the official website. Without Roger Federer in the draw, Nadal got pushed up to seed number 4. Looking at the French Open draw of 2016, the dream final of Nadal vs Djokovic is not possible, but we can get a blockbuster semi-final instead since […]
Federer Out of French Open
It’s not a huge surprise that Roger Federer pulls out of the French Open, as I tweeted a couple of days ago, but still a letdown for tennis fans all over the world. It’s the first time since 1999 he’s not playing a Grand Slam which means an unbelievable and close to unbeatable streak of 65 […]
Djokovic Wins Madrid and Rome Preview
It wasn’t a big surprise to see Novak Djokovic lift his 29th masters title in Madrid, even after the hiccup he had in Monte Carlo. He played a solid week and was only really tested thoroughly against Murray in the final where he won a tough contest 6-2 3-6 6-3 after a ten minutes long […]
Del Potro is back for real and other news
There were a few news stories coming out of Madrid Masters yesterday. One funny one was how Tomic decided to try to defend match point with his handle first against Fognini. He had obviously already given up the match. It was possibly just one of those days where it felt as easy (read: difficult) to […]
Federer Out of Madrid Masters
It’s a sad year for Federer fans so far. Since the post-Australian Open knee injury, the Swiss maestro has only played three matches. He pulled out of Indian Wells, couldn’t play Miami Open due to a stomach virus and yesterday he withdrew from Madrid Masters due to a back injury. This is what he said […]
Schwartzman, Almagro & Kohlschreiber win
Well, sometimes things just don’t go the way you thought they would. In my preview post, I thought Dimitrov would beat Schwartzman, Carreno Busta win his first title against Almagro and Kohlschreiber wouldn’t be able to match a Thiem who looks ready for top ten. I got all three of them wrong. ATP 250 final Istanbul […]
Madrid Masters 1000 Draw and Preview
Madrid Masters 1000 starts today with a lot of questions to answer: Can Nadal continue his clay-court momentum and possibly take the lead in number of Masters title with 29 over Djokovic’s 28? Will Djokovic be back in shape after his surprising early exit in Monte Carlo? How rusty is Federer after only having played […]
ATP 250 Finals in Istanbul, Munich and Estoril
Tennis lovers have three interesting ATP 250 finals to look forwards to today as the 250 tournaments ahead of next week’s Madrid Masters 1000 comes to a close. In Istanbul we have Dimitrov, who seems to have find his form again, against the short but talented Schwartzman who loves playing on the red dirt, in […]
