French Open: Nadal Too Good For Federer
It was excruciating at times for Federer fans such as myself, but in the end you just had to give it to Nadal who was too good on the most important points and at times played his very best clay court tennis in his 7-5 7-6 5-7 6-1 victory. But it was Federer who took […]
French Open Final: Nadal vs Federer
And so here it is, the match we’ve been waiting for, another grand slam final between Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer. In some way this final feels different then the previous ones, especially since they played their last GS final against each other in the 2009 Australian Open 2,5 years ago. A lot has happened […]
French Open Day 11: Federer in Fine Form
While people were talking about Djokovic‘s fantastic streak and Nadal‘s lack of confidence, Roger Federer found his form and has now won all his matches on the road to the semi-final without losing a set. This should be a slight warning to Djokovic. The Serb is also bound to be a little nervous as he […]
French Open Day 9: Rafa Rules Despite Doubts
The big talk of day 9 of the French Open was not how local hero Gael Monfils managed to beat marathon man David Ferrer. It was not about how Andy Murray fought back from 0-2 in sets to 2-2 before the match was postponed due to bad light against Victor Troicki. It was not how […]

It was a slightly strange day at Roland Garros. It started in a pretty normal fashion though with the Fed Expess rolling through Tipsarevic in routine style, 6-1 6-4 6-3 and sending a small warning to Djokovic and Nadal that he’s in Grand slam mood. Clay court demon David Ferrer is another threat. He destroyed a […]
French Open Day 4: Federer, Djokovic, Del Potro

French Open Day 3: Nadal Pushed To His Limits
It was a strange third day of the French Open 2011. It started with clay court demon Nicolas Almagro being able to close out Lukasz Kubot and exactly like his fellow former top ten player Berdych lost a match although leading by 2-0 in sets. It’s hard to see where Almagro will go for here, […]
French Open Day 2: Federer and Djokovic Cruising
It was the first “real” day of Roland Garros and both Federer, Djokovic and dark horse Del Potro were in action and they all managed to get through their rounds although Del Potro had to concede a set against serve-demon Ivo Karlovic. Djokovic looked light on his feat as usual, not dropping more than 6 […]
