We’re in a hectic part of the tennis season right now. After two intense week of clay court action we’re thrown right into Queens and Halle where players need to adjust their clay-infested shoes to the green surface.

In-form Federer Beats Benneteau
Julien Benneteau has been a threat to Federer in the past. He has beaten him twice, and as recently as Rotterdam earlier this year. He was also up two sets to none in Wimbledon last year before Federer stormed back and managed to win the match and later on the tournament. Benneteau simply seems to […]
Remember Lukas Rosol? No One Match Wonder.
Yes, he is the guy who beat Rafa Nadal in Wimbledon 2012 after blasting winners left, right and center. People were raving about him then, but as soon as he lost the next match without much of a fight, he was rather quickly forgotten. But in ATP Bucharest he showed he is more than a […]

Nadal vs Djokovic: a mind game
I think everybody talked a lot about the physicality of the Nadal vs Djokovic final, but I think the lesson is really how MENTAL (and by that I don’t mean crazy!) the sport of tennis is.
