How good is this guy?

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

So impressed by the Federer composure. 7-5 7-5 6-4 against a Murray who I thought was in top form. We have that final again, Federer vs Djokovic, and this time I feel it’s Federer’s turn. 18th slam, here we come. Some great highlights from Ace Tennis.

Mixing it up with Andujar

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

Congrats to Nishikori and Garcia-Lopez who both got titles this week in Barcelona and Bucharest respectively. My attention however went to the Andujar who had a great week in Barcelona and defeated David Ferrer with some really clever clay court tennis including drop shots, varying pace, spin, and finishing many points at the net. If […]

GOATs on Grass and More

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

We have hardly been able to catch our breath from a dramatic French Open final and now the grass season is already under way with Federer and Nadal playing in Halle and Murray and Wawrinka in Queens. Winning Ugly author (must-read book for all tennis players and fans) and tennis guru Brad Gilbert was impressed […]

“We’re Still Favorites” Says Federer

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

Davis Cup Quarterfinals 2014…final day. Federer remains upbeat despite the Swiss loss yesterday against far less experienced Kazakh doubles team: “I’m actually very excited for tomorrow,” Federer said. “We are still the favorites for each singles match tomorrow, but with no more margin for error and we’re aware of that.” Thats the way to look […]

Germany Stuns France, Wavrinka loses

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

Davis Cup Quarterfinals 2014… Davis Cup is its own beast. Rankings means little, home court is vital, team spirit is suddenly everything. When you looked at the match-ups beforehand there were quite obvious favorites in all but one match (Great Britain vs Italy). But…this is Davis Cup. So it so happens that France, with Benneteau […]

Indian Wells 2014 – Tennisnerd predicts…

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

ATP World Tour writes today that Nadal’s road to the title in Indian Wells look complicated. They’re right. He needs to get through Murray, Federer and Djokovic to win the title and with his absence from the hard courts since his injury in the Australian Open final, there should rightly be doubts about his ability […]

Federer Beats Djokovic, Berdych & Wins Dubai

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

Yes, dear Federer fans, he’s back in business! After coming back from a set down against both Djokovic and Berdych he emerged as the winner in ATP Dubai 500. The crowd was behind him all the way of course as could be expected pretty much anywhere he goes and maybe especially so in a city […]

Federer Back In Biz?

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

[The new tennis bromance?] Yes, that’s the question hovering in every Fedfan‘s mind after his demolition of a lacklustre Tsonga 6-3 7-5 6-4 in today’s Australian Open fourth round. Federer looked back to old ways, Tsonga couldn’t keep up. Only after going back a break in the third (two sets down), he started showing some […]

Early Impressions: First Few Days 2014

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

Federer played his first singles match of the year in Brisbane today and beat Nieminen comfortably 6-4 6-2. What impressed me the most is how lethal his forehand was. It really looked like the increased racquet size (from 90 to 98) helped his pace on that shot. If that’s the case we have interesting things […]

New Racquet, New Coach = Federer 2014

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

Exciting news! Besides being a father again in 2014, Federer has also said that he will use his childhood idol Stefan Edberg as a coach for at least ten weeks starting from Australian Open. And he will be using the larger head size racquet he was tinkering with in 2013 permanently! Two quotes from the […]
