Where is Rafa?
I wrote a few tweets yesterday with the hashtag #whereisrafa which was rather the opposite to my previous post “Nadal back in biz“. Why? Well, he shockingly lost his clay court encounter with Andy Murray 6-3 6-2. I will write that again. Andy Murray beat Rafael Nadal, also known as the King of Clay, on […]
Is Nadal back in biz?
Let’s hope the Madrid final doesn’t turn into a cuddlefest. That is the question on most people’s minds ahead of the Madrid Masters final. Few would have imagined Andy Murray being on the other side of the net, but he’s played the best clay court tennis of his life this season and after his first […]
Baby Fed – aka Dimitrov
I know he probably hates the nickname and it’s not really viable any longer, but lots of people are waiting for the Bulgarian to make some kind of significant mark on the ATP tour. This year so far, lots of focused has been put on him changing his racquets. From Wilson to Head to Wilson […]
Federer out, Nadal in
It was a letdown for recent ATP 250 champion Federer to lose against feisty Kyrgios in three tie-breaks (last one being 14-12) in the colourful 20-year-olds favour. As a Federer fan it was hard to see parts of that match, because at times he looked a bit slow. Especially when running around his forehands. But […]
Wawrinka vs Sousa & Ex-wife?
Has Wawrinka gotten past his second separation/divorce from his wife? After all, it seem to have been a rather nasty break-up after a letter from his wife was publicised where he was rather harshly criticised by her and blamed to be the reason for the break-up. A statement sounded: “his instability and the wish to regain freedom […]
Murray’s first clay title
Great final between Murray and Kohlschreiber in Münich. Was cheering for Kohli because he has the one-handed backhand and seems just to be a calm and collected character, but both deserved to win a tight affair that ended 7-5 5-7 7-6 in Murray’s favour. And now it’s time for them to play again in Madrid. […]
Is tennis one-dimensional today?
This is definitely a topic that is always up for debate. Everyone has their favourite era and when the GOAT discussion starts, one era is always weaker than the other etc. I grew up with Edberg and Becker as heroes, enjoyed Agassi’s unorthodox style, snoozed through Sampras dominance, regained interest in tennis thanks to Federer, […]
What can Björkman do for Murray?
Most tennis fans know that Swede and former world number 4, Jonas Björkman, has joined camp Murray. Despite getting married, Andy haven’t had a great start to the season and hopefully this can recharge his inspiration for the grass season. Yes, I don’t see how a grass court lover and doubles expert is going to benefit […]
