Federer like a box of chocolates
And was solid in his win today against Dimitrov 6-4 3-6 6-1 6-4. Boy Band Goffin up next. Will not be easy, Goffin has game.
Hewitt’s Last Stand
Lleyton Hewitt’s last professional match happened today in his loss against David Ferrer. Hewitt was a true inspiration for many players, especially for his fighting skills and die-hard attitude. Wish him all the best on the side of the court.
Kyrgios maturing
He’s known to swear, have funky hairstyles, insult, break racquets and god knows what, but he sure is one hell of a tennis player and he’s getting better. Truly impressed with Kyrgios win today. Lost his cool when he lost his break in the third, but saved two set points and closed it out in […]
Not the same Rafa anymore?
I had a feeling Rafa would have a tough Australian Open this year, but I wanted to believe he would be back contesting the title. Now he’s out, losing a fantastic match against Fernando Verdasco 7-6 (8-6), 4-6, 3-6, 7-6 (7-4), 6-2. Verdasco said after the match: “I think I played unbelievable in the fifth set from […]
Wawrinka third title in Chennai
Wawrinka had won two consecutive titles in Chennai and as the number one seed it sure seemed like he could do it again. But Stan the Man doesn’t yet have the consistency of Federer, Djokovic or Nadal (sans last year) and you never really know a hundred percent what you will get from him. However, […]
Raonic over-powered Federer
2015 wasn’t the best year for Canadian 25-year-old Milos Raonic (Missile Milos), but he couldn’t have asked to a better start to 2016, beating Roger Federer 6-4 6-4 in the Brisbane final. Raonic did pretty much everything well in the final. His strategy was clear from the start, play ultra aggressively and attack the net […]
Djokovic trashes Nadal
It was in many ways a spellbinding night for Novak Djokovic. It was one of those evenings he simply couldn’t miss. The always level-headed Nadal described his performance well in the press conference: “The match is easy to analyse,” said Nadal. “I played against a player who did everything perfectly. I don’t know anybody who’s […]
Predictions for ATP 2016
The ATP season starts today with action in Quatar, Chennai (India), and Brisbane, the first three of six ATP tournaments in January. See the schedule from the ATP World Tour website below: Federer is playing in Brisbane, Wawrinka in Chennai, Nadal and Djokovic in Doha (Quatar) this first week of an exciting new tennis year. […]
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 […]
