Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

In the longest match of the ATP World Tour Finals so far, world number one, Andy Murray, outlasted Kei Nishikori in a three-set marathon that lasted 3 hours and 20 minutes by the scoreline of 6-7 6-4 6-4.

Wawrinka third title in Chennai

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

Wawrinka had won two consecutive titles in Chennai and as the number one seed it sure seemed like he could do it again. But Stan the Man doesn’t yet have the consistency of Federer, Djokovic or Nadal (sans last year) and you never really know a hundred percent what you will get from him. However, […]

Stan the Champ

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

It didn’t go five sets, but was still a fantastic battle. I don’t know if I should be surprised that Stan the Man Wawrinka overpowered the world number one in four sets: 4-6 6-4 6-3 6-4, but I’m definitely IMPRESSED. How did he beat the almost supernaturally talented Djokovic? He played with more aggression and […]

It makes for a good headline, let’s just hope it makes for a good match as well. You always worry when you get deep into the slam draw that a match will fizzle out into a one-sided affair, three sets, little action, no drama. This one is no Nadal vs Djokovic, but it should pack […]

Stan the Man

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

It was almost scripted. After two epic five set matches in the previous slams (Australian Open and U.S. Open 2013), a third one was almost too good to be true. Yet, the tennis Gods smiles on us one more time and Djokovic and Wavrinka gave us another treat. This time it was Wavrinka’s turn to […]

Upset 1: Andy “Muzza” Murray lost to Granola Bar (Granollers) after being down 6-4 4-1, getting treatment and making it back to a tie-break, […]

Rafa Does It Again – Wins Madrid Open

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

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 […]
