Djokovic On a Run
Tennis is all about confidence. Everything can change with millimeters. A ball lands in, a ball lands out. Game point or break point. Feeling good or smashing your racket. One guy who seems to be in no lack of confidence right now is Novak Djokovic. He is on a tear, having won 24 straight matches […]
Donald Young Still Only Young?
That is what’s on everybody’s mind after the young American (born 1989) beat world number five Andy Murray in straight sets on Saturday (7-6 6-3). There’s been a lot of talk about Young and his talent ever since he had the chance (as a ball boy) to play a bit with John McEnroe and McEnroe […]
The Fed Fan Phenomenon
I wrote a post in reply to Jon Wertheim’s Sports Illustrated article about Federer’s lack of consistency and sloppy play in Dubai and got a very nice response. It reminded me of this tennis column, I wrote some time ago and the interest it generated. It seems like the interest for Roger Federer is endless and […]
Milos Raonic and Andy Roddick
The start of the tennis season shows there is a few players who seem to be on a real hot streak. Soderling has won three (!!) tournaments already and only lost one match, in the Australian Open fourth round against uprising Ukrainian star Dolgopolov. Does this mean he can climb up to spaces 1-3 this […]
The Battle Nadal vs Federer
There is a lot written these days about Nadal being able to catch Federer’s grand slam record (currently at 16) or not. Nadal currently has 8 Grand Slams to his name and he needs to double that amount just to catch up if Federer doesn’t win any more slams (which, considering Fed has already won […]
What’s up James Blake?
Found this on erikzona.com: James Blake. One of the most exciting players on the ATP tour. Explosive power, great personality, sportsmanship, fantastic returns and a killer forehand. Always positive. Always going for the lines. He sure is exciting, James, but not so much anymore. Yesterday he played a miserable match against Denis Istomin and lost […]
Nalbandian is back!
Is there anything better than seeing Nalbandian hit the ball? Nope, not really. He hits the ball so wonderfully you want to write a poem about it. I am not going to write a poem here, I am just happy to see the Baloo-like tennis talent back to his former and greater self. Today I […]
Where is the real Roger Federer?
I don’t want to jump on the Federer is not going to win another slam bandwagon, but there is something about him lately that is very, very mortal and I don’t like it. Going in to the Halle final he had a H2H stats of winning the last 15 encounters against Leyton Hewitt and he did […]
Why I don’t like Andy Murray
There are some players you just don’t like and for me, Andy Murray is one of them. I respect his talent, but there are other annoying things about him. He complains a lot on court and makes childish cry-baby faces when someone wins a good point against him. Like it would never happen if he […]
The French Open 2010 has started
The biggest clay tournament of the year is on and if day 1 wasn’t that exciting to be honest, day nr 2 is something completely different. Firstly we saw Roger Federer win quite easily against Peter Luczak. Federer wasn’t fedtastic, but he definitely was on cruise control and didn’t lose his serve once and only […]
