What’s Up?

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

This week’s what’s up. What’s up Ernest Gulbis? You’re losing first rounds left and right. What’s up with that? You need to get your shit together man! Hire a new coach. Stop drinking. Get yourself in shape. Wasted talent is a horrible thing to see. What’s up Fernando Verdasco? Weren’t you going to show Milos […]

Is the Djoker the New King of Clay?

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

Bring on the clay! Spring is in the air when you can hear feet sliding on red dirt. I am really looking forward to this year’s season which has a lot of interesting questions to answer. Will Nadal be as unbeatable as always? How will Djokovic perform after a spellbinding start to the season? Can […]

Federer and Nadal, again

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

For Federer fans such as myself this is a pretty controversial or at least disappointing headline. What can the young Spaniard teach the Swiss maestro? Well maybe “teach” is the wrong word and maybe there isn’t a lesson to be learned about “wanting to win” but if there was, I could think of no better […]

Milos Raonic and Andy Roddick

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

The start of the tennis season shows there is a few players who seem to be on a real hot streak. Soderling has won three (!!) tournaments already and only lost one match, in the Australian Open fourth round against uprising Ukrainian star Dolgopolov. Does this mean he can climb up to spaces 1-3 this […]

Nalbandian is back!

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

Is there anything better than seeing Nalbandian hit the ball? Nope, not really. He hits the ball so wonderfully you want to write a poem about it. I am not going to write a poem here, I am just happy to see the Baloo-like tennis talent back to his former and greater self. Today I […]

Where is the real Roger Federer?

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

I don’t want to jump on the Federer is not going to win another slam bandwagon, but there is something about him lately that is very, very mortal and I don’t like it. Going in to the Halle final he had a H2H stats of winning the last 15 encounters against Leyton Hewitt and he did […]

Rafael Nadal, champion for the fifth time

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

It wasn’t slaughter, but it did show, clearly, who is the best clay courter of all time. Rafael Nadal couldn’t put a foot wrong against Robin Soderling in today’s French Open final. It was brutal at times, but the biggest problem for the Swede was that he couldn’t capitalize on any of his many break […]

I was wrong – French Open predictions

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

Yesterday was a strange day at the French Open. It wasn’t easy to predict how the action was going to unfold, but at least there should be a few “given” matches. But it didn’t pan out that way. Firstly, Roddick played a horrible match, losing against Gabashvili in three straight sets. He just couldn’t get […]

Fantastic French Open day

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

After a rain-filled yesterday, the matches today have been of extremely high class. Some highlights and thoughts: I am happy short Italian Fognini beat Monfils after that darkness debacle. They should have stopped at 4-4. You can’t play if you can’t see the ball. But Monfils got the crowd all wired up and they started […]

The French Open 2010 has started

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

The biggest clay tournament of the year is on and if day 1 wasn’t that exciting to be honest, day nr 2 is something completely different. Firstly we saw Roger Federer win quite easily against Peter Luczak. Federer wasn’t fedtastic, but he definitely was on cruise control and didn’t lose his serve once and only […]
