The New King of Clay?
Djokovic beat a good Rafa 6-3 6-3 in Monte Carlo yesterday. Will he rule this clay court season or will Nadal be back to haunt him in Roland Garros? Please comment below!
ATP Monte Carlo Madness
What else can you call today’s matches in Monte Carlo? Well, madness is maybe stretching it a bit, but there were some killer match-ups and some unexpected results. If you were a betting man, it wouldn’t have been a bad idea to place a bet with William Hill tennis betting on the flamboyant Gael Monfils […]
Australian Open Final: BORING?
Give me your best caption in the comments. Here’s an example: “I know Andy, but I’m married now.” There aren’t many sports events you anticipate more than a grand slam final, yet I, a true tennis nerd (you knew this already), felt that the Australian Open final between Murray and Djokovic would be a bit […]
Tennis is a cruel sport
Watching a re-run of Dimitrov losing his cool and later on the match (after the last ball clipped the tape and landed on Dimitrov’s side) reminds me that tennis is a cruel sport. Giving you’re all for 3,5 hours and playing spellbinding tennis along the way, just to stumble on the finish line. It’s sport […]
Nadal reeling after shock loss?
I’m sorry about the over-dramatic headline, but I obviously want you to read the post. Today Rafael Nadal played his first match of 2015 and his first match since his appendix surgery in November. He faced Michael Berrer, number 127 in the world rankings. Berrer is a leftie who hits hard off both wings, but […]
Murray vs Robredo – Marathon of the year?
Valencia, Spain. After almost three and a half hours of tennis, Murray had saved five match points for the second time this year against Tommy Robredo (previously in Shenzhen final in September). So you could understand Robredo’s frustration (which was humorous, but I’m sure he hates Murray a little bit too) in the already famous image. […]
Federer Wins Cincinnati – US Open Next
People always want to write off Federer as a has-been and after his miserable 2013 it was easy to do. But things come and go in tennis, as does Federer’s form. In 2013 he was hampered by back-issues, he started playing with a new racquet and he could find that well-needed rhythm. In 2014 he’s […]
Getting Ready for the US Open
I’ve been off the blogging grid for a while, watching and playing tennis but not had time to write for this site. One of the more exciting reasons is that I’m working on a third novel, this time set in the world of a journeyman tennis player. It’s release date will be in the first […]
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 […]
