The French Open has started! And it did so with mostly expected results, some tougher matches and some relatively easy ones. Let’s have a look at how my predictions fared: V = Correct X = Incorrect Not bad! I thought Medvedev would win his match, but he had to retire due to cramps. I also […]

What do you think about this coaching move? Please comment below. This is what Djokovic had to say about the upcoming partnership: “Andre is someone that I […]
Rafa Cruising Through the Clay Season
Rafael Nadal has just won his third clay court tournament in a row with his title in Madrid Masters. He’s on another magical clay court run. Can anyone beat him at Roland Garros? Dominic Thiem played a spectacular tournament all the way through to the final, but it wasn’t enough to beat the King of Clay […]
Federer Met Gala Cobra Suit from Gucci
Roger Federer in a Cobra suit from Gucci at the Met Gala? Is this really relevant for a website about racquets and strings? Well, Roger Federer is the biggest brand the sport of tennis has ever seen and him wearing a suit can gather a lot more interest than the winner of an ATP 250 […]
Why isn’t there hawk-eye on clay?
Rafael Nadal reached his 10th Monte Carlo final, but only after some controversy. At 2-3 and break point down he hit a ball that was called long, but then overruled to be in to David Goffin‘s dismay. After this controversial decision by umpire Cedric Mournier, Goffin’s game fell apart and Nadal wrapped up the win […]
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 […]

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 […]
