In fact, it could quite possibly be called a disaster for the world No. 2. No, I really think it should be labeled a horribly awful failing of a person’s game of tennis. (Sorry, Rafael Nadal, but it’s true buddy.)
Mikhail Youzhny won the Chennai Open quite handily with a 6-0, 6-1 whipping of Nadal Sunday. […]
It makes me chuckle a bit whenever sportscasters and sports reporters refer to tennis matches as “epics.” What makes an epic? Just because a competition is close in sports doesn’t make it a good match. It just makes it a close competition - both opponents could be playing like crap.
Rafael Nadal beat a tenacious Carlos Moya […]
The resurgence of the Williams sisters in 2007 wasn’t a fluke. Venus Williams claimed a 6-4, 6-3 victory over Maria Sharapova to win the JB Group Classic exhibition in Hong Kong. Maybe Sharapova wasn’t playing so well…or maybe Venus was just that good.
Serena Williams and Mardy Fish won the Hopman Cup, bring the United States’ […]
On the heels of Andy Murray’s announcement that he may forego future Great Britain team play to focus on his goals as a singles player, women’s world No. 2 Svetlana Kuznetsova has basically pronounced the same thing. Only a little more final.

The year of 2008 is going to see a bit more focus on putting a stop to match-fixing in tennis. Sort of like tightened security after 9/11…only different…but the same if you use your imagination.
In the newest surge of polishing up professional tennis’ image, laptops will be banned from courtside areas during the Australian Open. […]
I haven’t talked about one of the most talked about tennis players for awhile so I thought it was about time I slip a little something-something back into here about him.
Sandra Harwitt writes about Roger Federer for Tennis.com in her article Clocking the Fed Express: Losing or gaining speed? Ever since Federer wound up the 2007 […]
I’ve talked about Mr. Big-time before and today, he took another step on his way to building up his own majesty.
Andy Murray, ranked No. 11 in the world, has said he is considering not representing Great Britain in future team events.
“I don’t know exactly how long I will continue playing Davis Cup,” said Murray. “The […]
I haven’t lately (still been in the snow, folks - happy new year to me - yay!) but I bet Hunter Pence has. Heard of him, eh - eh? Yep, the Houston Astros player has joined the b5 network and is writing at Inside the Ballpark and might know a thing or two about baseball. Maybe […]
