Stan the Man
It was almost scripted. After two epic five set matches in the previous slams (Australian Open and U.S. Open 2013), a third one was almost too good to be true. Yet, the tennis Gods smiles on us one more time and Djokovic and Wavrinka gave us another treat. This time it was Wavrinka’s turn to […]
Federer Back In Biz?
[The new tennis bromance?] Yes, that’s the question hovering in every Fedfan‘s mind after his demolition of a lacklustre Tsonga 6-3 7-5 6-4 in today’s Australian Open fourth round. Federer looked back to old ways, Tsonga couldn’t keep up. Only after going back a break in the third (two sets down), he started showing some […]
Knocking on heaven’s door
Okay, it’s a dramatic headline crafted to grab your hard-earned attention for tomorrow’s top action. But what I also mean about it is all the youngsters that seem to have enough confidence to challenge the established pro’s in Australian Open. The first round witnessed Janowicz, a talented young man himself, go two sets down against […]
It’s so hot someone might die: Australian Open 2014
The major impression that you can’t get away from is…the HEAT. It’s outrageously hot. Heat that makes water bottles melt and players take huge gasps of air after a few minutes of hitting. You can’t help but being incredibly impressed by some players’ fitness, being able to play for hours in sweltering madness. That’s the […]
Nadal Bites Another Tropy – Doha
Nadal didn’t breeze through his title at Qatar Exxonmobil Open. Quite the opposite. He had to fight hard and looked rather flat at times. Still he showed his Nadal grit and managed to ride out the bumps in his game and emerge with the trophy. This should give him plenty of confidence for Australian Open […]
Hewitt Beats Federer for Brisbane title
I didn’t have the chance to catch the first set of the ATP Brisbane final. It was probably for the best. The 6-1 scoreline in Hewitt’s favour suggests heavily shankalicious play from Federer. Maybe the doubles had worn him out, maybe Hewitt played extra focused at home, I don’t know. I wouldn’t be surprised if […]
Early Impressions: First Few Days 2014
Federer played his first singles match of the year in Brisbane today and beat Nieminen comfortably 6-4 6-2. What impressed me the most is how lethal his forehand was. It really looked like the increased racquet size (from 90 to 98) helped his pace on that shot. If that’s the case we have interesting things […]
New Racquet, New Coach = Federer 2014
Exciting news! Besides being a father again in 2014, Federer has also said that he will use his childhood idol Stefan Edberg as a coach for at least ten weeks starting from Australian Open. And he will be using the larger head size racquet he was tinkering with in 2013 permanently! Two quotes from the […]
Fighting Federer
Watching the ATP Basel final yesterday I couldn’t help but feel the desperation in Roger Federer. He was more animated than I’ve seen him in a long time, talked with himself, contested the umpire, shot a ball into the roof of the stadium and seemed agitated with every shot that didn’t go his way. This […]
The New Wilson Spin Series
The racquet war between tennis manufacturers like Wilson, Babolat, and Head are ramping up around this time of year when the new lines (or in many cases, paint jobs) of racquets are released. This year is probably the biggest I’ve seen in terms of technology changes since I became a racquetaholic and gear junkie. What […]
