Bet 365 bookies: Round 1 Australian Open
It makes you sad to read stories about players fixing matches to make a buck from betting. One of the latest most shocking stories was about Oliver Anderson, previous Australian Open Boys’ Champion, who was charged with match-fixing by the Tennis Integrity Unit. Besides the match fixing you also see a lot of rage from […]
The Australian Open Draw 2017
The draw for the Australian Open 2017 is out and you can download it in .pdf form here. I’ve made my usual predictions and this time I invite you to do the same through TourneyTopia and the Tennis Channel. If the interest around draw prediction competitions is high, I will start having them with all […]
Djokovic vs Murray, Nishikori vs Dimitrov
The first ATP Tour finals of 2017 are set: Murray vs Djokovic in Doha and Nishikori vs Dimitrov in Brisbane (click each name to get to articles about what gear they play). The Aircel Chennai Open is still one round behind at the moment of writing, with the semi-finals being: Daniil Medvedev vs Dudi Sela […]
2016 Season summary: Murray wins
Andy Murray met all possible expectations when he beat Novak Djokovic in the ATP World Tour Final 6-3 6-4. In my previous post I speculated that he would be tired after playing three more hours than his main rival, but if there is something that Murray should be a role model for, it is his impressive […]
The ATP Final – Djokovic vs Murray
The only logical final before the ATP World Tour Finals was the the showdown between Murray and Djokovic and before the semi-finals it seemed like the stars were still aligned for it with Murray playing Raonic and Djokovic vs Nishikori. But Milos Raonic was so close, so close in beating Andy Murray and should really […]
Wimbledon Draw Predictions: Federer’s turn?
Wimbledon has become a far more dramatic tournament than Roland Garros and the results have been very difficult to predict. But this is how tennis should be! Federer got a “get out of jail free”-card against a “bring-back-US-Open-2014-monster-serving-Cilic” and luckily for my own nerves I was on a tennis court myself at the time of […]
Wimbledon Draw Predictions: R1
It’s time for the third and arguably most prestigious slam of the year: Wimbledon! This also means it’s time for some TennisNerd predictions. The French Open predictions went very well with 75% correct score, but I honestly think it will be tougher this time with grass being a special surface where specialists rule and ranking […]
Is Dominic Thiem the next tennis superstar?
The buzz is in the air and on the grass. Austrian wunderkind Dominic Thiem has just won his 4th tournament of the year at the Mercedes Cup in Stuttgart and is now ranked 7th in the world at 23 years of age. Some spectators marvel at his power, some say it’s ALL, and maybe too […]
Roland Garros 2016 2nd Week Predictions
We’re into the second week of Roland Garros of 2016 and it’s been a topsy-turvy tournament so far with Nadal and Tsonga leaving the tournament due to injuries. Thiem has been the most solid youngster (starting to be an established top 20 player) and Ramos, Gulbis and Gasquet has been surprises. My predictions haven’t been as confident […]
Yet another Djokovic vs Murray final
There is little doubt who is the player to beat in 2016. But there also seems to be little doubt who number two is. With Federer’s unlikely season full of sickness and injury woes, Andy Murray has stepped out to the plate and played solidly even on his least favorite surface – clay. He’s now […]
