What a day for tennis – Madrid Masters
What a line-up we have at Madrid Open (formerly Madrid Masters) today. We have lots of top players in action, Nadal, Federer, Murray Ferrer, Berdych, Tsonga, to name a few. The most interesting match-ups in my mind is another battle of the double-handed backhanders (yesterday we had Tommy Robredo vs Tommy Haas in a well-played […]
Dimitrov beats Djokovic, John Tomic beats Drouet
It’s been a strange couple of days in the tennis world. Yesterday I saw one of my tour favorites, Grigor Dimitrov, beat both his cramping legs and his opponent, world number 1, Novak Djokovic in a three setter: 7-6 6-7 6-3 in the second round of Madrid Masters. Djokovic was hitting the ball well but […]
Remember Lukas Rosol? No One Match Wonder.
Yes, he is the guy who beat Rafa Nadal in Wimbledon 2012 after blasting winners left, right and center. People were raving about him then, but as soon as he lost the next match without much of a fight, he was rather quickly forgotten. But in ATP Bucharest he showed he is more than a […]
A Nadal Set of Tennis
I rarely want to write about the same player two times in a row, but I have just watched the conclusion of the first set of Almagro vs Nadal in ATP Barcelona. It was such a typical “Nadal set of tennis”. Let me tell you why. Nadal rarely comes out of the starting blocks strongly […]
Tommy Robredo is back
There is no denying Tommy Robredo‘s return to the upper echelons of men’s tennis after first beating young star Grigor Dimitrov and today tournament number three seed and top ten player Tomas Berdych. It must feel strange to be a solid top ten player and then fall out for so long. Here is the chart […]
What’s in Tursunov’s coffee?

This is how he described his upset: “It wasn’t Ferrer’s best match. He didn’t play his best tennis,” assessed Tursunov. “He had the advantage over me because he’s […]
287 weeks
Federer: 287 weeks as world number one and all I got was this stinking shoe?
Greatest of All Time: Roger Federer
Is there any other way you can describe Federer’s 17th Grand Slam, 7th Wimbledon title and step back on the #1 throne? Congrats Roger, you deserve it!
Federer or Murray? Wimbledon final 2012
Today is the day of the Wimbledon final, another one where history is about to be made. Either Federer wins his 17th grand slam and his 7th Wimbledon title or Andy Murray is the first British man since Fred Perry in 1936 to win the cherished home slam. If Federer wins he’s again back to […]
First week: Wimbledon insights
The first week of Wimbledon has passed and on the tennis free Sunday I will try to summarize some of the highlights or insights I’ve gathered in the first week with a dash of humor – the Tennisnerd way. Rosol who? We who follow tennis knows how hard it is to play the match of your life, […]
