Australian Open 2012 Final: Djokovic vs Nadal
After two grueling 4+ hour semi-finals we have reached a repeat third Grand Slam final between Djokovic and Nadal.

Australian Open 2012: Djokovic vs Murray
The two quarter-finals of Australian Open were fairly straight forward for both Djokovic and Murray. Well, at least Murray’s 6-3 6-3 6-1 win of Kei Nishikori was. The Scot looks in spectacular form this year and with Lendl in the stands he might be inspired enough to beat a half-injured/hampered/hamstringed (??) Djokovic. Because something was […]
Fantastic Federer and Roaring Back Rafa
Two spectacular quarter-finals took place today, and they were spectacular in very different ways. Federer‘s trashing of Del Potro was masterclass in efficient and brilliant tennis.

The Wimbledon Draw
I’m not going into a detailed analysis of each section of the draw and I’m not going to predict every match, but I’m going to touch on what I see could be key points in the Wimbledon Draw this year. The Wimbledon draw threw us an interesting surprise in giving us a re-run of Mahut […]
ATP Halle and ATP Queens Day 3: Nadal Back On Grass
Yes, Nadal showed his dedication to the sport and to his career by coming to Queens despite and exhausting French Open.
