Australian Open 2008: The Top 10 Moments

The chips are in and the cards are down. The fortnight at the Australian Open is a closed book, but there are 10 moments from Down Under that were pretty special.
10. No Americans at the Australian Open past the quarterfinals.
I should take that back. There was one American who lost in the semifinals and that […]

Federer, Blake and Venus Advance

The second day of the Australian Open had its exciting moments even though it didn’t have the exit of the No. 9 men’s player Andy Murray (who now has time to focus on British team play, ironically enough).
For those who were worried (or hoping) Roger Federer might not be in top form for the Australian Open, well, he […]

Andy Murray out of Australian Open

And this is why I don’t like predicting things…because more often than not, I’m wrong!
Andy Murray, at No. 9 in the world, became the highest-ranked player to exit the Australian Open the first day. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France showed Murray how to play tennis in 7-5, 6-4, 0-6, 7-6 victory. And here I had said I would […]

The Road to the Aussie Gold Part Deux

With the Australian Open set to kick off tomorrow, I need to get my preview of the men’s side of the tournament in before the first serve is hit.

And he’s back! Murray in top 10 again

I like to keep my eye on Andy Murray, mostly because I like to poke fun at him every now and then.
After his recent win in Doha, Murray has jumped back into the ATP’s top 10 and sits in ninth. David Nalbandian drops to 10th and Tommy Robredo to 11th.
Murray’s two-jump move comes on the […]

Mr. Big-time

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 […]

Murray Wins British Player of the Year

It’s that time of year when everyone is handing out awards and bowing and smiling to receive them.
Andy Murray, wrapping up the year in 11th in the ATP rankings, was named the British male player of the year in the Lawn Tennis Association awards. The awards were voted on by the public.
And that’s about all […]

Victory is sweet. So is being right.

Not that I’m patting myself on the back here. In fact, I didn’t even say it outright but I certainly alluded to the fact that Andy Murray’s decision to hire a team of coaches might not be the best choice for him.
I didn’t really need former Wimbledon champion Michael Stich to agree with me, but […]
