Apparently the injury bug has hit the tour. After Venus Williams withdrew from the Family Circle Cup yesterday, Justine Henin announced she won’t be competing in next week’s competition either.
Henin’s website cited a right knee as the problem and thought it too sore to compete in Charleston.
No big deal. It’s just their job. Maybe […]
The question of who would represent France in the Davis Cup quarterfinal series with the United States was answered on its own when Jo-Wilfried Tsonga withdrew with a right knee injury.
Tsonga will be replaced with Arnaud Clement - whoever that is. Richard Gasquet, Paul Henri-Mathieu and Michael Llodra. And the United States will be represented […]
Now that the college basketball season is officially behind us, it’s time to focus on another race to number one that proves to be exciting even if it is a little slower paced.
Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic all are vying for the top spot. Well - Federer has the top spot and he’s […]
I stumbled across Rafael Nadal’s blog. Well - stumbled as much as possible when you’re on Tennis.com. It’s really quite good. I was impressed and that’s a difficult thing to do.
There are some funny moments - especially Rafa’s response to a reader’s question about what he thought of Mikhail Youzhny beating himself with his racket. […]
Well, I wasn’t really expecting it, but Nikolay Davydenko steam-rolled Rafael Nadal in the final of the Sony Ericsson Open 6-4, 6-2.
Actually, it was a clinic on Davydenko’s part. Nadal didn’t ever really get his feet under him, and he didn’t know what to do with Davydenko’s cross-court winners. They had a wicked slice and […]
Jelena Jankovic managed to fight back and win the second set to force the third and, after being down 5-0, won the next three games but Serena Williams squelched Jankovic’s comeback try to repeat as the defending champion at the Sony Ericsson Open.
Serena stormed to a one set lead, winning the first 6-1 but Jankovic […]
Beating Roger Federer doesn’t do much good if you can’t follow it up with another victory. Andy Roddick squandered his breakthrough victory over Federer by losing to Nikolay Davydenko in straight sets at the Sony Ericsson Open. I guess that’s what happens when you’re still reeling from an emotional victory 24 hours earlier.
Davydenko had fallen […]
In all the news surrounding the Sony Ericsson Open, I totally forgot to write about something amazingly awesome and incredibly stupid: Mikhail Youzhny attacking himself with his own racket.
Great volley. Great point, but not for Youzhny and he let himself know about it. How fierce is that? Talk about being ultra manly and letting the […]
I think it’s officially arrived: Roger Federer no longer dominates the game of tennis. He’s been off-and-on and shaky all year but today’s loss made it true for me today.
Andy Roddick finally avenged his dismal record against the world number one and pulled off a three-set (7-6, 4-6, 6-3) victory in his 12th try at […]
I was hanging on every updated point in the Rafael Nadal/James Blake quarterfinal when the game tracker punked out. It quit. Everytime I clicked on it - and believe me, it was a lot - I got an error message that said the “HTML can not be displayed.” HTML my butt, where’s my tennis scores!?!
However, […]
