Roland Garros 2016: Djokovic’s 12th slam

by Jonas Eriksson June 5, 2016

written by Jonas Eriksson

Just as I and many with me had predicted – this was truly Novak Djokovic’s year in Paris (he’s not had a bad year outside Paris either). He beat Andy Murray in the French Open final with the scoreline of 3-6 6-1 6-2 6-4 and by doing that now holds all four Grand Slam titles at the same time. Astonishing. Whether Djokovic is now on his way towards overtaking Roger Federer and his 17 grand slams remains to be seen, but I would be very surprised if he doesn’t beat Nadal at 14. Djokovic is utterly dominant in the game right …

Roland Garros 2016 Final: Murray vs Djokovic

by Jonas Eriksson June 4, 2016

written by Jonas Eriksson

I had the feeling it would go this way, but still I really had hoped for more “tennistainment” in the two semi-finals of the French Open. But both Djokovic and Murray showed why they are the players to beat during this clay court season and after two clinical performances it was all set for the final I predicted all along: Murray vs Djokovic. Murray probably was the most impressive player, being able to throw everything back at Stan the Man Wawrinka with interest and Stan had not much to say about it in the press conference than “What do you …

Roland Garros 2016: Quarters and Semis

by Jonas Eriksson June 2, 2016

written by Jonas Eriksson

After a rain-packed second week we’re closing in on the semi-finals at Roland Garros. The remaining quarter-finals happen today around 13 CET if the weather permits. Djokovic is taking on Berdych and Goffin is playing Thiem. Djokovic has an astounding 23-2 head-to-head record against Berdych so I simply can’t see HOW Berdych can beat the world number one. Goffin has 5 wins over Thiem’s 2, but on clay the Austrian is at his best and his game has been progressing in great strides this year. It’s going to be a tight match. My feeling is that Thiem wins it in …

Roland Garros 2016 2nd Week Predictions

by Jonas Eriksson May 30, 2016

written by Jonas Eriksson

We’re into the second week of Roland Garros of 2016 and it’s been a topsy-turvy tournament so far with Nadal and Tsonga leaving the tournament due to injuries. Thiem has been the most solid youngster (starting to be an established top 20 player) and Ramos, Gulbis and Gasquet has been surprises. My predictions haven’t been as confident in the latter rounds as you can see below. Can Goffin and Thiem show their potential and make it to the quarter-finals? I think so. Gulbis will be a tough opponent if his serve is on, but Goffin has been impressive so far and confirmed …
