What’s Up?
This week’s what’s up. What’s up Ernest Gulbis? You’re losing first rounds left and right. What’s up with that? You need to get your shit together man! Hire a new coach. Stop drinking. Get yourself in shape. Wasted talent is a horrible thing to see. What’s up Fernando Verdasco? Weren’t you going to show Milos […]
Top Players As Inspiration: David Ferrer
I used to only appreciate talent, but what age has taught me is that there’s nothing more inspiring than hard work and dedication. One player that’s all about that is current world number #6 David Ferrer. He possesses one big weapon – his legs! He trains like a maniac off court and it all seems to […]
Should Federer Change His Racket?
Does size matter? Sports Illustrated tennis writer Jon L. Wertheim wrote the excellent book Strokes of Genius about the titanic battle of the Wimbledon final 2008 and since then I’ve followed his writing on twitter and on SI.com and enjoyed and agreed on much of it. His latest “mailbag” post discusses the interesting question of […]
Crazy Dani Ready for Hollywood?
Is Crazy Dani Koellerer ready for the big screen? His infamous court antics are taken to a new level in this cinema friendly clip. If you find him interesting, check out this post for more of Crazy Dani.
The GOAT debate: Nadal or Federer
I don’t think there was a single soul in the “stadium” in Monte Carlo who was surprised when Nadal threw his Schwartznegger-like arms in the air and celebrated his seventh Monte Carlo Masters title. He is Rafael Nadal and on clay, there is nobody in the history of mankind that can outfox him. The recent […]
What Is In The Head of Fernando Verdasco
Is anybody’s guess. He hasn’t been himself of late. Is it because he went from Tecnifibre to Dunlop or something else? The guy’s got a big game but when he said he wanted to play with Raonic on clay (indicating that the Canadian was all serve and no play) after losing to him twice on […]
Federer’s Time to Smell the Coffee?
It happened again. The Fed Express hit a wall. I am getting so used to it now, it doesn’t even sting anymore. Which is a strange thing to say for a Fedophile. I wrote an article about Federer’s failure in Dubai some weeks ago that I’ve pasted below. Then I wrote another one where “Nadal […]
Is the Djoker the New King of Clay?
Bring on the clay! Spring is in the air when you can hear feet sliding on red dirt. I am really looking forward to this year’s season which has a lot of interesting questions to answer. Will Nadal be as unbeatable as always? How will Djokovic perform after a spellbinding start to the season? Can […]
Federer’s Inevitable Decline?
Tennis writer Steve Tignor had something to say on Federer’s recent performance in contrast to Nadal and Djokovic. I paste a part of his post below. You can read the full thing here. As the most painful downtick in the very slow but inevitable decline of Roger Federer His semi with Nadal may have been […]
Federer and Nadal, again
For Federer fans such as myself this is a pretty controversial or at least disappointing headline. What can the young Spaniard teach the Swiss maestro? Well maybe “teach” is the wrong word and maybe there isn’t a lesson to be learned about “wanting to win” but if there was, I could think of no better […]
