Nadal wins Monte Carlo Masters
I already stated that Rafa had started to look like the good old days here, but little did I know the level of flashback feeling I got when he rushed off to a 3-1 lead with both his forehand and movement looking like it was 2008. I thought the match would be over within the hour. But […]
Nadal back in form
The Nadal that was a pummelling players with his left hook of a banana whip forehand has been MIA. Suddenly, in what you can guess is one of his favourite tournaments on tour, he’s back and he looks ready for a ninth (!) title. Murray played well in the Monte Carlo Masters semi-final today, but […]
Tsonga beats Federer, Murray trashes Raonic
It was a strange day in Monte Carlo. It started off with Murray, who has struggled quite a bit in previous matches, only giving two games to Milos Raonic in a 6-2 6-0 slaughter. Hard to say what happened, but Murray had a day where everything went right. With his return and great defense he […]
Favourites through in Monte Carlo
Like I wrote in my previous post with the predictions of the third round in Monte Carlo Masters, Federer, Nadal and Murray all come through, but it wasn’t easy. Murray, for example, looked down and out at 2-6 0-3 vs Paire. But Paire is a streaky player and Murray is a fighter and everyone knew […]
The loss no one saw coming
Novak Djokovic has had a stellar season so far. Until today he had only lost one match, against Feliciano Lopez in Dubai where he retired due to an eye-infection. Otherwise he’s been pretty much unbeatable. He won both Indian Wells and Miami and my prediction was he would keep on not losing for a good while […]
Nadal bites the dust
Are we seeing a shift in men’s tennis? Are guys like Thiem, Fritz, Kyrgios etc ushering in a new era? Questions like this pop into your head after watching Dominic Thiem‘s phenomenal performance against Nadal in Argentina Open, where he beat the Spaniard on his favourite surface 6-4 4-6 7-6 after saving a match point […]
Djokovic 6th Aus Open title
Novak Djokovic has just won his 6th Australian Open title and 11th grand slam after 6-1 7-5 7-6 against Andy Murray. Like against Federer, Djokovic was quick out the starting blocks in a fashion that reminds you of Federer in his glory days. Winning the first set quickly will be a clear signal to your […]
Another Australian Andynole
Andy Murray has just beaten a fighting and aching Milos Raonic in five sets in a match that told us a few things, some new, some of which we already knew. I’ll make it into a list. Ask me why later. Andy Murray is a physical beast. Milos Raonic has taken big steps towards becoming […]
Djoko 2 good for Fed
They say that pictures say more than thousand words so here is the 6-1 6-2 3-6 6-3 Djokovic win from the semi-finals of the Australian Open in pictures. Leading up to their 45th encounter, Federer had looked great and Djokovic so-so. But already from the start Djokovic looked better than ever and produced two sets of […]
Tennis, Gym & Murray
This is how my mornings look these days. Gym and tennis. Or rather, gym while watching tennis. Also, the view from the window is not too bad over the beautiful island of Malta. Some notes on what happened earlier today: Murray played Ferrer in what was destined to be a grueling encounter. Both players are […]
