Can Daniil Medvedev Win a Grand Slam?
Can Daniil Medvedev Win a Grand Slam? That is the big question after his brilliant spell of form where he reached the final in two Masters tournaments in a row and ended up winning Cincinnati after defeating Djokovic in the semi-finals. Medvedev is one of those players without the elegance of Tsitsipas and the warped […]
Is Nick Kyrgios good for tennis?
Is Nick Kyrgios good for tennis? Many would say no, quite a few would say yes. But there is no denying that his match against Nadal at Wimbledon was great entertainment no matter which side of the Kyrgios debate you are on. Tennis needs its less pretty rivalries. Nick Kyrgios seems to create controversy wherever […]

Five things We Can Learn From Fabio Fognini
Fabio Fognini won the Monte Carlo Masters in 2019 after some spell-binding and aggressive play in difficult conditions. His top achievement was beating Rafa Nadal in straight sets in the semi-finals.

The New Rafael Nadal
I have just witnessed the New Rafael Nadal beat Stefanos Tsitsipas in Australian Open in straight sets: 6-2 6-4 6-0. Was Tsitsipas bad? No. Rafa was amazing. And not in his old, ball-chasing-never-give-up way, but by being aggressive and punishing every short ball. Before the Australian Open there was talk about an improved service motion […]

He has made this clear over and over again and never managed to perform at the grand grass court event. But the flashy […]
Kyrgios sells car on Facebook
This story from Mashable was too good not to post – apparently bad-boy and mega-talent Nick Kyrgios is trying to sell his car on Facebook and he has actually been responding to comments about it. I know a lot of people have mixed and sometimes bad feelings about this guy, but I think tennis needs […]
Federer’s Year

Jack Sock’s weird forehand
Jack Sock has a fierce forehand with a really “weird” swing. It’s simply not something you teach people to hit, but the fact is that it works amazingly well for him since he can impart massive top spin from anywhere on the court. How does he do it? And could we learn anything from it? […]
Dimitrov’s Year
Grigor Dimitrov has started the year by winning two tournaments (Brisbane and Sofia) and losing only one match, to Rafael Nadal after FIVE spellbinding sets of tennis. The Bulgarian who early on in his career often was described as baby Federer, has in later years been haunted by the word “underachiever”. But with coach Dani Vallverdu […]
