The Hot Shot of the Year? Dimitrov again!
Dimitrov won the ATP 500 in Acapulco, Mexico, beating Andy Murray on the way to the final. That Dimitrov is a shot-maker of God-like standards, we all knew, but that he could keep it together for a tournament is a great sign for fans of his highly enjoyable playing style. The point above could very […]
Stan the Man – Grand Slam Champ
It was in many ways an awkward final to watch. First set: Wavrinka breaks early, plays well and hits the ball like a hammer. Still, Nadal gets three break points at 5-3. It seems like he’ll get back in the match. But Wavrinka shows his mental toughness, wins five straight points and takes the set […]
Rafa Too Good
It’s a familiar storyline – Rafael Nadal played his best match of the tournament against Roger Federer (you can see images, highlights and interview excerpts here). This means the bull from Manacor plays Stanislas Wavrinka in the final. A player he has never lost to. For us Federer fans, the 2014 edition of Australian Open […]
New Racquet, New Coach = Federer 2014
Exciting news! Besides being a father again in 2014, Federer has also said that he will use his childhood idol Stefan Edberg as a coach for at least ten weeks starting from Australian Open. And he will be using the larger head size racquet he was tinkering with in 2013 permanently! Two quotes from the […]
Fighting Federer
Watching the ATP Basel final yesterday I couldn’t help but feel the desperation in Roger Federer. He was more animated than I’ve seen him in a long time, talked with himself, contested the umpire, shot a ball into the roof of the stadium and seemed agitated with every shot that didn’t go his way. This […]
Another Display of Rafa the Fighter
He’s relentless. He’s fearless. He never gives up. These are just a few words that describes soon to be(?) world number one, Rafael Nadal. He has just beaten the talented Italian, Fabio Fognini after being down 6-2 4-2 and game point at the China Open quarter-finals. The game at 4-2 in the second set seemed […]
Federer at an All-time Low?
I haven’t been posting of late due to other writing commitments, work, family, you name it. I’ve even started playing more myself again and the game is coming along decently – with the only worry being the body holding up. But I’m going to try to get back to the blog and Twitter and follow […]
Federer Maintains Amazing Streak
It was close, kind of, but Federer got back in his usual stride and managed to beat Simon from 2-1 in sets with the final scoreline: 6-1 4-6 2-6 6-2 6-3. Next up is Tsonga. Federer winning the match helps him maintain his amazing streak of 36 straight Grand Slam Quarterfinals (or further of course) […]
In-form Federer Beats Benneteau
Julien Benneteau has been a threat to Federer in the past. He has beaten him twice, and as recently as Rotterdam earlier this year. He was also up two sets to none in Wimbledon last year before Federer stormed back and managed to win the match and later on the tournament. Benneteau simply seems to […]
Federer in Full Flight
I was lucky enough to catch the two final sets of Federer’s display of brilliance yesterday against poor Devvarman who was equally as much as spectator as the crowd. The final scored said it all: 6-2 6-1 6-1. When Federer feels as relaxed as he did yesterday and consistently hits the ball in the center […]
