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 […]
Strokes of Genius
I recently ordered three tennis-related items. The DVDs for the Wimbledon finals 2008 and 2009 and L Jon Wertheim critically acclaimed book about the 2008 final called Strokes of Genius, Federer v Nadal, Rivals in Greatness. I started out by watching the Roddick vs Federer final from 2009 and is struck, because I was too […]
What’s up Soderling?
I heard rumors that Soderling and his coach Magnus Norman are having troubles communicating and that is maybe a reason why Soderling is not performing well of late. He has three straight losses (against Wavrinka, Almagro and yesterday against Olivier Rochus). All good players, but still, Rochus in Nice is a match Soderling should win […]
Fed up
I guess that is what many of us Federer fans feel like. This losing thing has to stop! It is not only masters anymore, I feel that that record of a gazillion straight semi-finals is in very grave danger for the French. You can not only see it in the attitude, he is really not […]
Who John Isner is and why he can be a top ten player
American tennis player John Isner is 2,06 meters above the ocean and weighs 110 kg. Obviously he has a good serve. But the rest? Pretty damn good too. John Isner is one of those big players that has a big game, but also the feel and movement to back it up. Don’t get me wrong, […]
Federer’s racket, Wilson Six.One Tour BLX
Being a huge fan of Federer and his fluid, cat-like movement, and his liquid-whip forehand, I of course wanted to play with the same racket as him. So I went out and ordered the Wilson K-factor (the previous technology, now it is BLX) Six.One. On the first hit I noticed several things. The racket is […]
