Nadal Wins Ninth French Open
Nadal beat Djokovic 3–6, 7–5, 6–2, 6–4 to win a record ninth French Open, his 14th grand slam (equalling Pete Sampras in second spot of the all-time list) and to keep the number one spot in the rankings. The match didn’t hold the quality of last year’s semi-final, but it was a great match with lots […]
Djokovic = Djokopong?
I think Djokovic must have played a lot of Pong as a little boy (although he’s probably too young). His baseline defence game is like playing a computer on max level. You can’t break through. I’m writing this in the middle of his casual win against Ernests Gulbis. He’s 6-3 6-3 up and I can’t […]
Rafole or Murrovic or Gulbadal or Mulbis?
Come up with your caption in the comments section below and you can win…ultimate tennis honour. Or…pick any topic I should write about for my next post and I’ll do it. It started with Fedal (Federer and Nadal) and then came Djodal or Rafole. Maybe we’ll get a Gulbadal or a Murrovic in this year’s […]
Can Missile Milos hurt the Djoker?
Yes, the headline sounds like something out of a Marvel or DC Comics Hollywood production. But tennis can be equally (or more) exciting of course when we’re going into the quarter-finals of Roland Garros 2014. Superhero server (The silver server?) Missile Milos is making quite a run for himself in the grandest dirt ball tournament of […]
Condolences to Federer fans – Congrats Gulbis
Somehow I felt it all along. Gulbis has the kind of game to intimidate anyone (and himself!) and Federer hadn’t looked in top form in the beginning matches. It was ripe for the “upset”. And by now we all now it happened in a gruelling five-setter with the scoreline: 6-7 (5), 7-6 (3), 6-2, 4-6, 6-3. […]
Topsy-Turvy Roland Garros
Image from Roland Garros official website. So far we haven’t been disappointment in the drama department of Roland Garros with plenty of upsets, tricky weather conditions, and some very good matches. Yesterday was no exception with two interesting five setters – although they were interesting for very different reasons. Dudes of drama: Foggy vs Le […]
Where was Stan the Man?
I held high hopes for Australian Open and Monte Carlo champion Stan “the Man” Wawrinka going into Roland Garros. Ranked three in the world, he was surely one of the favourites already Djokovic and Nadal seem to have their own little standing in the world of tennis right now. Despite great results like winning his first […]
Roland Garros Draw 2014
The draw for Roland Garros is out and you can find it here: Roland Garros Draw sheet. My first glance: Federer has a good draw and Nadal’s side look like a nightmare. Interesting!
Djokovic wins Rome Masters
It was a titanic battle that ebbed and flowed like the sea. Fitting for two Gods of the tennis court. Nadal started in positive style while Djokovic looked remarkably subdued. People started whispering about his tender wrist. The Spaniard went up 4-1 before something sparked to life inside of the Serb and he came back […]
A proper Roland Garros warm-up
We’ve seen some amazing tennis so far in Rome and the best match I’ve seen until now is the swashbuckling thriller between Nadal and Murray last night. That was a spectacular show that started with Murray playing out of skin to almost bagel Nadal 6-0, but then became familiar in the second set when the […]
