What a day for tennis – Madrid Masters

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

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 […]

French Open Day 7: Business As Usual

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

Yes, today at Roland Garros it was pretty much business as usual. At least for five time champion and world number one Rafael Nadal who won his match against Antonio Veic, losing only four games.

My Take On Tennis: May 10, 2011

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

First a sad message: Mr Juan Martin Del Potro, why do you get injured now when we need you the most to stir up Roland Garros and make it even more exciting? We will miss you and your fly-swatting shots… Yesterday I only bet on one match, the one between Monfils and Nishikori and then […]

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

Today I’m cheering Kei Nishikori in his ATP Rome Masters first round match against Gael Monfils. A few thoughts the early Rome action. Let’s do it kinda bullet form to make it easier to read (and write) – I’ll call it “My Take On Tennis: (date)” Verdasco beat Raonic 6-4 6-4 yesterday after “trash-talking” him […]

ATP Tour Tennis Today, April 30

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

Hmmmm…what’s on the menu for the tennis fan today? We’ll have action from Munich, Serbia and Estoril so let’s have a quick look… Djokovic plays his good friend and “imitator” Janko Tipsarevic in Serbia Open. Tipsarevic is playing good tennis at the moment, but I doubt him taking a set from the Djoker. It looks […]

What Is In The Head of Fernando Verdasco

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

Is anybody’s guess. He hasn’t been himself of late. Is it because he went from Tecnifibre to Dunlop or something else? The guy’s got a big game but when he said he wanted to play with Raonic on clay (indicating that the Canadian was all serve and no play) after losing to him twice on […]

I was wrong – French Open predictions

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

Yesterday was a strange day at the French Open. It wasn’t easy to predict how the action was going to unfold, but at least there should be a few “given” matches. But it didn’t pan out that way. Firstly, Roddick played a horrible match, losing against Gabashvili in three straight sets. He just couldn’t get […]

Summing up Rome Masters

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

Nadal again. Of course. No one would have thought anything different. But he lost a set. He had to fight off Ferrer, and he didn’t look quite as impossible to beat as last week. 7-5 6-2 in the final. It was a rainy, patchy affair, extremely well played at times. Here is the best point […]
