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. The gu...
He was the favorite and he took on the expectations and met them. But it was close, so close. In a nail-biting almost six hour long match Djokovic managed to serve out the fifth set 7-5, making the f...
After two grueling 4+ hour semi-finals we have reached a repeat third Grand Slam final between Djokovic and Nadal. It will be a tough one physically for both, especially after really exerting themsel...
The two quarter-finals of Australian Open were fairly straight forward for both Djokovic and Murray. Well, at least Murray’s 6-3 6-3 6-1 win of Kei Nishikori was. The Scot looks in spectacular ...
Two spectacular quarter-finals took place today, and they were spectacular in very different ways. Federer‘s trashing of Del Potro was masterclass in efficient and brilliant tennis. Whatever De...
I can’t say I’m very surprised with how Australian Open has turned out so far. All the top players are still in the draw and no really major upsets have taken place. Federer, Nadal, Djoko...
It has begun! For all us tennis fans the wait from the ATP World Tour Finals to the first slam of the year is excruciating, but at last we don’t need to wait no more. Here’s my brief summ...
The tennis year was supposed to start with a bang with Federer and Nadal (Fedal) playing in Qatar. It looked like a very likely final. In the end neither Federer nor Nadal made it all the way there; ...
The best way to improve your tennis game is undoubtedly to play a lot and train a lot and get a good coach or playing partner that can keep you on your toes. This is an active approach. But you can a...
Was an exhibition in Abu Dhabi against Novak Djokovic that lasted 44 minutes and ended up with the scoreline 2-6 1-6 in the Serbs favor. It was Federer‘s first match since he won the ATP World ...
I’m 30 pages in and I’m loving it! Highly recommended already, but a full-blown review to come… Check Rafa out! Merry Xmas!
Wilson Tennis seems to head towards the Djokovic white (his Head Speed has this nice retro color) with their BLX series update and I’m not sure what to think of it. It The biggest change to thi...
What a nice end to a bittersweet 2011 for Federer and us Fed fans! Let’s hope he can carry the 17-match momentum into 2012!
Tomorrow it starts. The final tennis tournament of the year, The ATP World Tour Finals. Will Djokovic cap a spellbinding year with a win or will Federer keep up his winning streak into 2012? Can Nada...
Yeah, that’s a lot of my spare time, reading, writing and playing tennis. This is why the blogging here has been very sparse the last few months, I’ve been finishing my novel The Wake-Up ...
Been too busy to blog, but still some activity on Twitter! (Check it out and follow). To summarize my thoughts of the day so far: Have a hard time seeing Murray go very far in Cincinnati. He looks a ...
What happened? Bad day at the office? Rough night? What kind of excuse could Nadal (2 in the world) and Murray (4 in the world) possibly invent to explain such miserable performances away. Well, in r...
I’m excited! After a break from following the sport I’m intensely passionate about, it’s soon time for the big players to step on the court in Roger’s Cup. I’m fantasy p...
It’s hard to believe. Federer lost a 2-0 set lead to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 6-3 7-6 4-6 4-6 4-6 and the last three sets he wasn’t even close of breaking the Frenchman. It was a magical effort...
Here are the amazing matches to look forward to today: Murray vs Gasquet – I think Murray is too good and Gasquet will surely get a flashback from being 2-0 sets up and serving for the match a ...
Mr Nastase is a great and candid book from a fantastic player and personality, Ilie Nastase. I’ve read a LOT of tennis player biographies and this one’s up there among the top tenn...
