Speculation is over. Justine Henin improves her record over Maria Sharapova with a come-from-behind 5-7, 7-5, 6-3 victory in the longest final in the Sony Ericsson Championships history. The match lasted 3 hours, 24 minutes.
Henin also set other records - like it being her 10th title in 2007. And the win being her 25th straight […]
Justine Henin beat fourth-ranked Ana Ivanovic 6-4, 6-4 and Maria Sharapova romped over No. 7 Anna Chakvetadze 6-2, 6-2 in the Sony Ericsson Championship semi-finals Saturday.
Henin holds a 6-2 career record over Sharapova. Now, whether that means Henin has the advantage with more wins or if Sharapova is due for a win, only the finals […]
In case you haven’t noticed, tennis isn’t a fleeting endeavor for Roger Federer. In a recent article on ESPN, Federer has suggested he would like to keep playing until he’s 35. That’s nine more years for those who struggle with mathematics.
When you have an athlete of Roger’s caliber in the ranks, there is always a […]

The original contest posting is here, and the chance to win a tennis teddy bear valued at $75 from Vermont Teddy […]
I am working out of the home office today which gives me added flexibility in how I use the hours in my day. Like surfing the web for cool tennis blurbs.

We’ve got drug allegations, and now we’ve got poisoning issues. Isn’t this supposed to be tennis? Let’s just freakin’ play people.
But instead of talking about tennis off the court, we have to talk about who did what to whom and how it affected their play on the court.
The International Tennis Federation is investigating claims that […]
The wait is over and the top eight are set to go in Shanghai for the Masters Cup title. Drawings for the round-robin groups put Roger Federer, Andy Roddick, Nikolay Davydenko and Fernando Gonzalez in the Red Group.
The Gold Group - obviously - has the other top four players in the world: Rafael Nadal, David […]
I think it is easy for the men’s game to dwarf the women’s. It is faster, more powerful, more court-hitting moves. It’s understandable really - we are action junkies. But all that aside, the women’s game of tennis deserves recognition and thus, I am here to do so.
At the season-ending Sony Ericsson Championships, Justine Henin […]
Is it time to make room for a third at the top of the ranks? For quite some time, Nadal and Federer have separated themselves from the rest of the pack. Federer has set himself beyond Nadal even. However, for the second time in as many tournaments, David Nalbandian has won his second title at […]
I tried posting this earlier today, but my internet punked out. And it was sad because I had fabulously wonderful news! In case the awesome foreshadowing of my title didn’t clue you in, I am having a contest!
It’s pretty simple really. I like things simple. They tend to work a lot better for me. There […]
