Federer Returns to the Tour in Doha
I have just received the news that Roger Federer returns to the tour in Doha on March 8th. Great news for Federer fans. Tennis has started with a bang “down under” with lots of tennis going on at the moment such as the Great Ocean Road Open, Murray River Open, and ATP Cup on the […]
Schwartzman Ready For Breakthrough Season?
For the majority of people on the planet, 2020 was not a year to celebrate accomplishments. Well, count Diego Schwartzman among the minority then, because he made major strides up the men’s tennis ladder during the 2020 season. Schwartzman entered the 2021 season situated among the top 10 in the ATP rankings for the first […]
Murray Tests Positive for the Coronavirus
“Andy Murray tests positive for the Coronavirus” that’s one of the headlines in the British press today. Is his Australian Open in danger? I found the article about Murray’s positive Covid-test in the Guardian. Murray is in good health, isolating at home, and hoping to travel to Australia when it is safe. The quarantine rules […]
Ferrer quits Zverev coaching gig
It’s time for Alexander Zverev to look for another coach again. David Ferrer has called it quits on the Zverev coaching gig. Zverev has had a tough time finding a coach to stick by him. Ferrero, Lendl, and Ferrer are his three latest coaches and although the Ferrer partnership was pretty successful results-wise, Ferrer has […]
Why Federer Pulled out of the Australian Open
Some people have asked me why Federer pulled out of the Australian Open. I speculated that he wasn’t keen on quarantine. It seems to be true. The official answer to the question “Why Federer pulled out of the Australian Open” was that he wasn’t a hundred percent ready after his knee injury. This is the […]

Today I woke up to the news that Roger Federer is not playing the Australian Open 2021. It’s a shame, of course, but it wasn’t unexpected. Federer’s longtime agent Tony Godsick announced the news to AP. He said he is working on putting together a 2021 tennis calendar for Federer, who plans to get back […]
We need more Hugo Gaston
After his impressive five-set upset of Stan Wawrinka, I thought Hugo Gaston was done at the French Open. Surely, he could not beat Thiem? In the end, the flashy and creative French player did not win, but managed to push the world number #3 to five sets! And the way he did it was very […]
Does Andy Murray steal WCs?
A crazy headline, right? Does Andy Murray steal WCs (as in wild cards, not toilets)? The idea was put forward by Mats Wilander for Eurosport. I think most tennis fans were looking forward to the titanic battle between Murray and Wawrinka in yesterday’s French Open Round 1. But Stan the Man came to play and […]
Rafa’s New Racquet Paint
What racquet is Rafa using in Rome? I have gotten that question a few times and here is my answer around Rafa’s new racquet paint. Nadal is tearing up his opponents in Rome in “good old gluten style” (bagels and breadsticks). He has not lost a step or his desire to win during this prolonged […]
Djokovic Defaulted US Open 2020
When I woke up this morning to the headlines about Djokovic Defaulted I could not believe my eyes. The world number one is out of the US Open. There are days when the greats are more irritable than others. Djokovic is more prone to this than Rafa and Roger and last night was not great […]
