The mental strength of Roger Federer

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

Sometimes we doubt Federer’s resolve and hunger to keep on winning tennis matches. He has been prone to leave the court mentally in critical stages the last few years and the way he deflated against Djokovic in the French Open semifinal doesn’t exactly fill a Federer fan with confidence. Against Julien Benneteau in the third […]

Wimbledon UPSET: Rosol beats Nadal!

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

Exactly how it happens we will never know. It was just one of those days when almost every shot you hit feels so, so good and somehow manages to catch the line. World #100 Lukas Rosol had the day of his life and #2 Rafael Nadal had his worst Grand Slam performance in seven years, […]

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

Heroical historical Nadal (It wasn’t pretty)

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

It wasn’t pretty, it was gritty. The rain ruined the rhythm of the players and the history of the moment made their nerves dangle like telephone cables in a storm. Nadal came out of the start blocks like a super-doped 100 meter runner, rushing off to 3-0 in the first set, but then the monster […]

Federer flat and Rafa ripped

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

6-4 7-5 6-3. For a Federer fan it was pure pain. The maestro who we all were waiting for, the one who had managed to put a dent in Djokovic’s amazing 2011 season last year and who holds pretty much every record in the world of tennis, didn’t show up. Sure, he was there, he […]

Djokovic vs Federer, Nadal vs Ferrer

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

That’s the sem-final line-up of Roland Garros. Not a very surprising one either, three top players in the world and I would put Ferrer as number 4 when it comes to clay court tennis (#6 in the overall rankings). We start tomorrow’s play with Nadal vs Ferrer. Like I wrote in my previous post, Nadal […]

Roland Garros: There can only be one winner

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

We are soon at the quarter-final stage of Roland Garros and right now I can only see one winner, Rafael Nadal. Djokovic looked awfully off his game last night against Seppi and was grumbling like back in the old days of being “only” #3 in the world. The conditions were tough and Seppi was really […]

Australian Open 2012: Djokovic champion again

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

He was the favorite and he took on the expectations and met them. But it was close, so close. In a nail-biting almost six hour long match Djokovic managed to serve out the fifth set 7-5, making the final scoreline 6-7 6-2 6-4 6-7 7-5. After losing six straight finals to Djokovic there was no doubt […]
