Tommy Haas returned
Sorry for the pun on your name, Tommy. I’m sure it’s not the first time you’ve heard that. But it’s sure nice to see him back on the courts, playing amazingly well at the less tender age of 35. Beating Djokovic in Miami wasn’t a one-off – Haas has been playing consistently well over months […]
Player to watch: Pablo Carreno-Busta
Today 21-year-old Pablo Carreno-Busta (ranked 228 in the world, but was as high as 133 last year) beat Julien Benneteau in straight sets in Portugal Open. He already has a great clay court game and is definitely a guy to watch for the future. Some info on Pablo Carreno-Busta from the official ATP website: Age:21 […]
Federer or Murray? Wimbledon final 2012
Today is the day of the Wimbledon final, another one where history is about to be made. Either Federer wins his 17th grand slam and his 7th Wimbledon title or Andy Murray is the first British man since Fred Perry in 1936 to win the cherished home slam. If Federer wins he’s again back to […]
Wimbledon 2012: 5 Things To Watch
Tomorrow it starts, the flagship of tennis events, the mecca of our beloved sport – Wimbledon. Since lots of sites make lots of predictions, I want to be brief and focus on the most interesting areas of this year’s Wimbledon. Here are my 5 favorite topics to watch for Wimbledon 2012. 1. Federer. As most […]
Federer flat and Rafa ripped
6-4 7-5 6-3. For a Federer fan it was pure pain. The maestro who we all were waiting for, the one who had managed to put a dent in Djokovic’s amazing 2011 season last year and who holds pretty much every record in the world of tennis, didn’t show up. Sure, he was there, he […]
Djokovic vs Federer, Nadal vs Ferrer
That’s the sem-final line-up of Roland Garros. Not a very surprising one either, three top players in the world and I would put Ferrer as number 4 when it comes to clay court tennis (#6 in the overall rankings). We start tomorrow’s play with Nadal vs Ferrer. Like I wrote in my previous post, Nadal […]
Roland Garros: There can only be one winner
We are soon at the quarter-final stage of Roland Garros and right now I can only see one winner, Rafael Nadal. Djokovic looked awfully off his game last night against Seppi and was grumbling like back in the old days of being “only” #3 in the world. The conditions were tough and Seppi was really […]
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. It will be a tough one physically for both, especially after really exerting themselves in the semis, but as fit as these guys are both physically and mentally, they will show up pumped and ready to […]
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. Whatever Del Potro threw at the great Swiss, the tennis maestro had an answer to which shows in the final score 6-4 6-3 6-2. Del Potro didn’t play bad […]
