The Fed Baguette – Instead of Always Giving Them Bagels
Since Rafa has his own energy drink, I think our Le Fed, Maestro, Fed Express, etc should have a dish of his own. And what would be more fitting than a baguette? After all, he must be tired of handing out bagels. So what’s in the Fed Baguette? Caviar – of course. Truffles – of course […]
Young Guns of Tennis – Who Will Make It
Being spoiled with the era of Federer, Nadal, Djokovic and Murray – I’m worried that the coming generation won’t be up to the same standard. I know it’s almost impossible to reach the drama of the last 8-9 years, but I want to keep watching tennis and I want to enjoy it to the max. […]
Viktor Troicki – Breakdown of the Year
Viktor Troicki hasn’t played his best of late, but this is a great show! I get the feeling he’s right and Cedric Mournier is too ashamed to admit it. Tennis can be a crazy sport and that’s another reason to love it.
TOP SPIN – A Nadal Practice Session
It’s hard not to be mesmerised by this clip of a Nadal practice session. Look at Nadal’s shots and how the ball loops into the air and then the rotations start and it lands in. For a guy who hits a pretty flat shot, this get me very jealous. I find practice videos the best to […]
The GOAT debate – Federer or Nadal…or Djokovic?
GOAT stands for Greatest Player of All Time and the discussion of who can rightfully claim that “title”. Since Federer holds many of the records, especially the heaviest one with 17 Grand Slam titles, most people seem to think that he deserves the GOAT distinction, but when he keeps losing to Nadal and Nadal keeps […]
Nadal So Good It’s Boring – Beats Federer
I had high hopes for the Rome final. Federer had looked good all tournament and not dropped a set and was about to commence batte for his first Rome title ever and Nadal had had some problems, especially with Gulbis. It should be a pretty even match, I thought. In my stupidity. In a one-sided […]
HEAVY-HITTERS: Gulbis and Janowicz
Yes, it’s a squirrel holding a bazooka. What else did you expect? Guys like Gulbis and Janowicz should get a license for their racquet. They pack so much firepower in their shots you think the ball is going to go straight through the fence and out beyond the court. Today they both showed what destruction […]
BIG NEWS: Federer’s New Haircut
The ATP Tour has moved to Rome and fitting of the world’s style capital (Romans are the most show-offy people in the world in my opinion – in a good way) most of the talk today was about Federer’s new haircut. Being a big fan of Federer, I take notice of these changes while part of […]
Pro Player Rackets – Pro Stock Tennis Racquets
As I’ve written in numerous posts on the blog, I’m a tennis racquet junkie (tennis racket junkie – if you prefer that spelling). I have loads of sticks in my arsenal, but today I’m testing the Wilson BLX Six.One 95 strung with Yonex Poly Tour Pro. We’ll see if it works, I’ll review both string and […]
Rafa Does It Again – Wins Madrid Open
It was never in doubt was it? (Okay, maybe at 15-30 against Ferrer). Rafa was going to take his fifth title of the year in seven tries (two finals) since his injury time-out. The king of clay was simply too good against a slightly nervous or tired Stan “the Man” Wavrinka today in the Madrid […]
