French Open Day 3: Nadal Pushed To His Limits
It was a strange third day of the French Open 2011. It started with clay court demon Nicolas Almagro being able to close out Lukasz Kubot and exactly like his fellow former top ten player Berdych lost a match although leading by 2-0 in sets. It’s hard to see where Almagro will go for here, […]
French Open Day 2: Federer and Djokovic Cruising
It was the first “real” day of Roland Garros and both Federer, Djokovic and dark horse Del Potro were in action and they all managed to get through their rounds although Del Potro had to concede a set against serve-demon Ivo Karlovic. Djokovic looked light on his feat as usual, not dropping more than 6 […]
Novak Djokovic: Number One Player In the World
I couldn’t believe my eyes, because yesterday Novak Djokovic played another amazing match to defeat world number one Rafael Nadal in straight sets. I couldn’t believe it because Djokovic should have been tired, Nadal should have been rested and pumped, and you can’t possibly play as well as Djokovic has for that many matches. But […]
Murray vs Djokovic – Tennis From Another Planet
I said in my post before the match that the Rome Masters semifinal against Murray might be a tough one for Djokovic as he must be getting tired after all these matches. And it was! After being outplayed in the first set (6-1 to Djoko) Murray started playing some amazing clay court tennis, defending and […]
Can Afro Murray Break Djokovic’s Streak?
Yeah, I’m sticking with the afro name until the Scot cuts his hair. And yes, I think there is a chance that with basically no pressure on his shoulders, Andy Murray can be the one to break the seemingly endless winning streak of Novak Djokovic. He needs to relax, hit out and hope that Djokovic […]
Richard Gasquet Back For Good?
It’s kind of fitting, I think, to give who many used to call “Baby Federer” a Take That-inspired headline. I and hopefully and most probably a big chunk of the tennis world wants Richard Gasquet to stay in the top and keep playing well. If only for that beautiful one-handed backhand of his. His two […]
Will Roger Federer Get Back To #1? – Not Like This
Yesterday we were again reminded that Roger Federer has entered a new era in his career, the one where he is human. He showed that in many ways losing against Richard Gasquet 6-4 6-7 6-7 in a pretty gripping encounter. The big difference between Federer now and the magical Federer of old is that he […]
Lorenzi Almost Beat Nadal
It was close. It was awfully close. But in the end #1 (still!) Rafael Nadal managed to beat Italian #148 Paolo Lorenzi 6-7 6-4 6-0. Kudos to Lorenzi and the Italian crowd for making this match truly exciting. Lorenzi fought like a madman and played extremely well at times. Normally this wouldn’t have been enough […]
My Take On Tennis: May 11, 2011
A lot of people are retiring during matches at the moment and it seems like we’re in some kind of injury period on the ATP Tour. Although clay can be more body-friendly to move on, the long rallies and matches (less reliance on the serve for example) really takes a toll for a lot of […]
My Take On Tennis: May 10, 2011
First a sad message: Mr Juan Martin Del Potro, why do you get injured now when we need you the most to stir up Roland Garros and make it even more exciting? We will miss you and your fly-swatting shots… Yesterday I only bet on one match, the one between Monfils and Nishikori and then […]
