Will Nadal win another Grand Slam?
After the Australian Open final where Rafael Nadal lost to Federer in five sets, a lot of people (and especially Nadal’s fans) will wonder about Rafa’s ability and chances to win another grand slam. He would need to do this to surpass Pete Sampras on the list of all-time greats as they’re both on 14 grand […]
Gilles Simon Tennis Racquet
Gilles Simon is now retired since a few years, but what was Gilles Simon’s tennis racquet? And what did you think of the Frenchman’s game? Gilles Simon Tennis Racquet Despite looking like Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine in the above pic, Frenchman Gilles Simon is not known for a modern power game, but rather utilizing his opponent’s […]
Is Milos Raonic the next world number one?
Thank the tennis gods, because the ATP season is finally in full flow with action taking place in Brisbane, Doha and Chennai. I think the main exclamation point has been Rafael Nadal‘s form which, until today, looked like vintage Rafa. But in the Brisbane quarter-finals he came up against the solid and efficient Milos Raonic who despite losing the first […]
Dolgopolov looking for a sponsor
One of the tour’s most creative and exciting players Alexandr Dolgopolov (“the Dog”) is back from injury timeout and finds himself as nr 62 on the ATP World Tour official ranking list. It is always tough for a player to come back from injury and Dolgopolov’s comeback wasn’t made easier as Rafael Nadal was on […]
Kei Nishikori to Nike Vapor Tour
Kei Nishikori has been an Adidas Barricade tennis shoe user for as long as I’m familiar, but in recent footage found on the ATP World Tour website he is sporting red Nike Vapor Tour 9.5s. Nishikori is using a Wilson racquet and Uniqlo tennis wear. The Nike Vapor Tour 9.5 are one of my personal […]
Borna Coric using Wilson Tennis Racquets
I wrote a post about Borna Coric moving from one Yonex to another (the Yonex DR 98) here, but now it is official – Coric is moving over to Wilson Tennis. This was revealed on his Facebook page: What Wilson tennis racquet will he use and endorse? It’s potentially one of Wilson’s popular pro stock […]
Del Potro out of Australian Open
Juan Martin Del Potro announced yesterday that he won’t be playing the Auckland Classic nor the first slam of the year, the Australian Open. He commented: “I know that I have 15 days of practice left for Australia and for my first tournament, and that’s a goal I’m not going to make,” he told local […]
Djokovic and Becker part ways
It wasn’t a very surprising end to an amazingly fruitful partnership (six grand slam titles!), after all, not many star coaching relationships last longer than three years, but what is interesting is what is going to happen next with Team Djokovic? Marian Wajda will stay for sure, but will Djokovic want to add influence from […]
The Federer Serve in Slow-mo
I have been lucky enough to watch the maestro Roger Federer serve up a close a few times and like with all his shots, it really is a fluid motion he displays. However it is not very easy to copy and if you would model your serve on a player I think his countryman Stanislas […]
Ilie “Nasty” Nastase wrote novels
Until three days ago I had no idea that Romanian ex-tennis star Ilie “Nasty” Nastase wrote novels. But I was walking around Valletta, the capital city of Malta and found myself in a small used book store. I like those kind of places partly due to the old-book-smell, but also because I genuinely love books and […]
