Dimitrov, Gasquet and Haas Winners
Week 42 brought out three winners on the ATP Tour. Three players with interesting styles and an ability to hit wonderful winners from pretty much anywhere on court: Grigor Dimitrov, Richard Gasquet and Tommy Haas. It was nice to see Haas win in Vienna, a title he won in 2001 (!). Talk about making an […]
Another Display of Rafa the Fighter
He’s relentless. He’s fearless. He never gives up. These are just a few words that describes soon to be(?) world number one, Rafael Nadal. He has just beaten the talented Italian, Fabio Fognini after being down 6-2 4-2 and game point at the China Open quarter-finals. The game at 4-2 in the second set seemed […]
Federer at an All-time Low?
I haven’t been posting of late due to other writing commitments, work, family, you name it. I’ve even started playing more myself again and the game is coming along decently – with the only worry being the body holding up. But I’m going to try to get back to the blog and Twitter and follow […]
A Battle of Gargantuan Proportions
The battle that was on display between Nadal and Djokovic yesterday and which ended in the fifth hour with: 6-4 3-6 6-1 6-7 9-7 in the favor of Nadal – is hard to put into words. The match had everything. Fantastic points, high drama, nerves, comebacks, and brute physicality. It was another classic in their […]
Tsonga Bongo Bonged Federer
At the start of Federer‘s match against Tsonga yesterday, I tweeted: “Tsonga looks ready to bongo bong.” I don’t know how that phrase came to me, maybe how Tsonga’s name is spelled, maybe I just got that infectious Manu Chao tune in my head or maybe Tsonga’s bouncy and hard-hitting game reminded me of a […]
Federer Maintains Amazing Streak
It was close, kind of, but Federer got back in his usual stride and managed to beat Simon from 2-1 in sets with the final scoreline: 6-1 4-6 2-6 6-2 6-3. Next up is Tsonga. Federer winning the match helps him maintain his amazing streak of 36 straight Grand Slam Quarterfinals (or further of course) […]
In-form Federer Beats Benneteau
Julien Benneteau has been a threat to Federer in the past. He has beaten him twice, and as recently as Rotterdam earlier this year. He was also up two sets to none in Wimbledon last year before Federer stormed back and managed to win the match and later on the tournament. Benneteau simply seems to […]
Federer in Full Flight
I was lucky enough to catch the two final sets of Federer’s display of brilliance yesterday against poor Devvarman who was equally as much as spectator as the crowd. The final scored said it all: 6-2 6-1 6-1. When Federer feels as relaxed as he did yesterday and consistently hits the ball in the center […]

The First Day at Roland Garros 2013
The first day at Roland Garros 2013 is almost over and we have managed to get through it without the looming grey clouds in Paris infringing too much on the action. It’s cold in Paris and the weather forecast for the first week does look rather grim, but hopefully we won’t have too much of […]
