Nadal on Struggles: “Get Used to It”
It’s a bit funny the journalist ask why I struggle when I win, no? When Nadal was asked why he was struggling after two three set wins against Simon and Youzhny. Nadal smiled and said: “Get used to it. With the years that’s the normal thing. Everybody suffers. That’s part of the sport. It’s not possible […]
Rome Masters Upset Alert Round 3
Screen from Bet365 So. For you who like tennis betting we have some interesting matches in this round’s Tennisnerd upset alert (insert trademark sign). Here are my predictions for round 3 of Rome Masters with my match winners in bold. Wawrinka – Haas = Wawrinka is playing well as demonstrated in his 6-3 6-0 demolition […]
Chardy Chardonnay Beats Federer Moet
Strange headline, yes, but tennis guru Brad Gilbert’s nicknames for top players are sometimes worth re-using. And since Federer is sponsored (among other luxury brands) by Moet, well, it fits together. What doesn’t fit well together is wind and tennis and it was evident in blustery Rome yesterday. The red dirt whirled around the court, […]
Nadal in big trouble, but wins Madrid Masters
Like I wrote yesterday, I thought Nadal would win the Madrid Masters final two sets to one. He ended up doing just that. Or well, not really since Nishikori had to retire 0-3 down in the deciding set. It didn’t come as a complete shock that Nishikori had problems with injuries as is evident with […]
Players on the rise – Nishikori and Bautista-Agut
Today we have the final between Japanese wunderkind Kei Nishikori (born 1989!) and the king of clay, Rafael Nadal. This has perhaps been Nishikori’s year more than anyone else so far, he has won two titles and has an amazing 22-4 win record in 2014. After Madrid Masters he rightfully moves within the top 10. […]
Federer Twins, Wawrinka Loses
Federer withdrew from Madrid Masters yesterday and instead went with his wife to the hospital where she later on delivered another set of twins (they already have twin daughters, Charlene Riva and Myla Rose). This time two boys (Leo and Lenny). Big congrats from Tennisnerd to the happy couple! Four kids, each one surely a […]
Picks from Madrid Masters Round 1 and 2
Screenshot and odds taken from Bet365. My picks in offensive pink. So what to say about today’s matches? There are definitely, like in most Masters, a couple of exciting ones early on. Fognini vs Dolgopolov is definitely a real crowd-pleaser. Both have been playing well lately, but Fognini has had some mystical results which speaks […]
Djokovic pulls out of Madrid Masters
Novak Djokovic, who had a legitimate chance of taking the number one spot away from Rafael Nadal in Madrid Masters, has pulled out of the tournament. “I am very sorry for the Madrid tournament and all the Spanish fans to have to pull out,” Djokovic said on the ATP website. “I did everything possible in […]
Bucharest & Barcelona = Dimitrov & Nishikori
It’s simple math. Two tournaments = two winners and in Barcelona and Bucharest we, not surprisingly (if you count on Nadal’s loss to Almagro of course!), had two young guys knocking on the top 10 door, Grigor Dimitrov and Kei Nishkori. Nishikori jumps up to 12th place now and Dimitrov to the 13th. Well-deserved for […]
