I’m going to go out on a limb here. I think Nadal (who turns just 23 on Wednesday) has peaked. Why, why why do open my big mouth?
Why say this now and risk being proven wrong next weekend? Why expose myself to the vitriol and humiliation that’s coming to me from Nadalites?
Well, for one, I [...]

Federer versus Nadal Madrid Final: “Step 1 – Break the Spell”?
Posted in Federer, Tennis, djokovic, murray, nadal, tagged 2009, madrid, masters on May 18, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I think a lot of Federer fans have seen yesterday for what it was – a good step that Fed’s made! Maybe that finger raised in the air didn’t mean “I will be number one” or “I’ve beaten him one more time”, but instead, “Step 1 achieved: break the spell”.
To steal a famous analogy I [...]

Federer has just broken back for the second time in the first set! It’s 5-all and he is serving, but it is advantage Nadal.
That last point was more than a little lucky when Nadal’s passing shot clipped the net to go out. Federer’s nerves are tingling as he moves to serve. He goes for it, [...]

I thought it’d be fun to get out the crystal ball and predict the top 3 tennis jokers plus Federer in exactly two years’ time, and the new Slam titles held by each player. (Yes in my prediction, Fed’s not in the top 3)
Not having an in-depth knowledge of the points and race system, please [...]
Federer versus Sampras: He who laughs last… Part II

… The Madison Square Garden encounter
This weekend, Federer and his agent have announced that the world number one suffered mononucleosis which is better known to me as glandular fever. Federer cited on his website that doctors think he had it since around mid-December 2007.
And since mid-December 2007, anyone who follows men’s tennis will have heard the cries of “the King [...]
Who’s it going to be – Tsonga or Djokovic?

Personally, I would like to see Tsonga win. He seems a sweet natured lad. And it’s not his fault he’s French . Go Tsonga!
In the match we’ll have a quick mover with powerful serves versus… another quick mover with large serves. Just how quick is Tsonga? Well against Nadal, who seems to be one [...]
