BIG NEWS: Federer’s New Haircut
The ATP Tour has moved to Rome and fitting of the world’s style capital (Romans are the most show-offy people in the world in my opinion – in a good way) most of the talk today was about Federer’s new haircut. Being a big fan of Federer, I take notice of these changes while part of […]
Rafa Does It Again – Wins Madrid Open
It was never in doubt was it? (Okay, maybe at 15-30 against Ferrer). Rafa was going to take his fifth title of the year in seven tries (two finals) since his injury time-out. The king of clay was simply too good against a slightly nervous or tired Stan “the Man” Wavrinka today in the Madrid […]
Top players as inspiration: Rafael Nadal
David Ferrer played a great match against Rafael Nadal yesterday in the quarterfinals of Madrid Open. He hit the ball aggressively, used his backhand up the line to great effect and managed to get a lead of 6-4 4-2. Then something happened. Nerves, doubts, you name it. Nadal broke back to love and managed to […]
Madrid Open 2013 – Quarterfinal picks
I don’t want to be a grouch, but the above is not really the most exciting line-up for the Madrid Open Quarterfinals. The absence of Djokovic and Federer stand out as glaring holes and personally I would have liked Haas and Dimitrov to beautify the draw with their all-court games and one-handed backhands. But enough […]
What a day for tennis – Madrid Masters
What a line-up we have at Madrid Open (formerly Madrid Masters) today. We have lots of top players in action, Nadal, Federer, Murray Ferrer, Berdych, Tsonga, to name a few. The most interesting match-ups in my mind is another battle of the double-handed backhanders (yesterday we had Tommy Robredo vs Tommy Haas in a well-played […]
Hot-headed Nicolas Almagro
A great way to improve your tennis is watching practice videos where you can focus on pro player technique. Since Federer is my favorite, I mostly watch his videos. You can definitely pick up a trick or three in those videos. Since Nicolas Almagro hits the ball with such power I was curious about how […]

Federer: 287 weeks as world number one and all I got was this stinking shoe?
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 […]
Celebrate Federer: Exclusive Wilson & Dunlop offers
Today Roger Federer took one step closer to the number one position in the world through beating Novak Djokovic in a fireworks display that ended 6-3 3-6 6-4 6-3. Since I’m such a Federer fan and a “racquetaholic”, I’ve managed to set up a good deal exclusive for Tennisnerd readers. The first offer is $30 […]
The mental strength of Roger Federer
Sometimes we doubt Federer’s resolve and hunger to keep on winning tennis matches. He has been prone to leave the court mentally in critical stages the last few years and the way he deflated against Djokovic in the French Open semifinal doesn’t exactly fill a Federer fan with confidence. Against Julien Benneteau in the third […]
