Tennis is a dangerous sport
I just did this screenshot on the front page of tennis.com. Injuries, injuries, injuries! Do they play too much? Are they not fit enough? Is the equipment too harsh? Or is this just something you have to live with as an professional athlete? I’m myself suffering from a knee injury for a few months now […]
The legendary rivalry renewed
The blog has been silent for a while. Reason being perhaps that I think the air kind goes out of the tennis season when the final slam of the year is played. As a long time Federer fan it might also be that the two losses to Djokovic in slam finals stung too much and […]
This guy
Fabio Fognini surprised us all by becoming the only player so far in history to beat Nadal from two sets down (previously Rafa was 151-0 in matches where he lead by two sets). It was a topsy-turvy affair with lots of breaks, unforced errors and 70 spectacular winners coming out of Fognini’s racquet. The scoreline […]
The latest…tennis week 30
Here’s a summary of what’s going on on the ATP Tour right now: Frenchman Benoit Paire won his maiden ATP title at Swedish Open in Båstad. In a week with really bad weather and some tough opponents he managed to win 10 straight sets. Impressive! Most of us know that the 26-year-old has a big […]
Fedisappointment – Djokovic wins Wimbledon
It’s hard for a Federer fan not to feel anything but empty after the a final that never really felt…good and that ended 6-7 7-6 6-4 6-3. Djokovic was his usual wall and impressively quick on his feet, but Federer wasn’t close to the performance he mustered against Murray. His first serve was off, he […]
How good is this guy?
So impressed by the Federer composure. 7-5 7-5 6-4 against a Murray who I thought was in top form. We have that final again, Federer vs Djokovic, and this time I feel it’s Federer’s turn. 18th slam, here we come. Some great highlights from Ace Tennis.
Nadal bites the dust(in) again
It was the most enticing match-up of the day on paper for several reasons: Dustin Brown has an exciting game style. Refreshingly mixing up his shots and attacking the net. In contrast, Nadal is one of the best defenders of all time. Nadal did lose their previous meeting, in Halle last year. In my mind, […]
Wimbledon Day 3: Summary
I have approximately three minutes for this post so here’s the lowdown on day 3 of Wimbledon. Cilic breathed a sigh of relief when Berankis double-faulted on match point at 5-6 15-40 in the 5th set. Haas looked out of steam after 0-6 2-6 against Raonic but came back to make it competitive. Still lost […]
Wimbledon preparation
The grass season got one more tournament this year with the addition of Mercedes Cup being moved from clay to the green stuff. Besides this logical, but gutsy change, Halle and Queens became ATP 500 tournaments instead of ATP 250s. Conclusion: the grass season has gotten more oomph and more players are given more opportunities […]
Kids got schooled
Think it was rather interesting to see how pumped up the kids were for Halle. Fist-pumping and screaming like it was a Grand Slam final. And what’s with this boy Rublev having “intimidated” players like Verdasco on court? What is with their manners? Both Borna Coric and Alexander Zverev are up and coming stars and […]
