Federer Back In Biz?
[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 […]

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 […]
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.

This is all good. But sometimes […]
Tennis Tip of the Day: Weight and Balance
One of the keys for a good tennis stroke is balance. If you’re not in balance you will put a lot of focus on your upper body, especially the arms, doing all the work and control will suffer. The way to be balanced for a shot is good footwork, trying to keep the feet moving […]
The French Open Draw
It’s out and it’s cruel. At least for John Isner who faces Rafael Nadal in the first round. I’m talking about the French Open draw. If we break it down into quarters, the first quarter definitely has Nadal as the semi-finalist although you would put up a warning sign on Robin Soderling, because the Swede […]
Will Roger Federer Get Back To #1? – Not Like This
Yesterday we were again reminded that Roger Federer has entered a new era in his career, the one where he is human. He showed that in many ways losing against Richard Gasquet 6-4 6-7 6-7 in a pretty gripping encounter. The big difference between Federer now and the magical Federer of old is that he […]
