Monte Carlo: All Top Four Seeds Advance

Like one it says in one of those old western movies I used to watch with my pa, “You fit a good fight, Querrey.”
And he did. Sam Querrey was ousted by Novak Djokovic at the Monte Carlo Masters 6-4, 6-0 in the quarters, but boy, did Querrey give the American tennis fans something to bank […]

Fish Reels in win over Nalbandian

I called David Nalbandian for the semifinals of the Pacific Life Open, and I was wrong. For those of you who don’t like me, embrace this moment because it won’t be lasting long.
 What a match thoughbetween the world number seven and Mardy Fish who is ranked, oh - uh - yes, 98 in the world. […]

Djokovic, Federer, Blake Cruise into Quarters

Some players had a little easier time getting into the quarterfinals of the Pacific Life Open than Rafael Nadal did. Roger Federer is staying true to form beating Ivan Ljubicic 6-3, 6-4. The good news for Federer is that Tommy Haas gave Andy Murray his ticket out of the tournament in a three-set match. Murray […]

Rafa digs in for victory over Tsonga

It was one heck of a match. 6-7, 7-6, 7-5 victory to Rafael Nadal over Jo-Wilfried Tsonga at the Pacific Life Open. I was on the edge of the couch, biting my nails, shouting at the television. My roommate walks into the house, sees me nearly apoplectic and asks, “Is that Wedgie Man playing?” referring to Nadal.
Why yes, […]

Top Seeds Marching on at Indian Wells

One of these days, i’m going to fiill out a tennis tournament’s bracket just like you fill out the March Madness bracket. Or the way I fill out a March Madness bracket anyway. Sadly, I can’t enter any bracket pools because of my job, but at least I can still fill it out and have […]

Nalbandian gone; Sharapova and Henin in quarters

Gah. Lleyton Hewitt. He won. That was me eating my words. Now let’s move on.
In other news, David Nalbandian? Cremated. Burnt toast. Hasta la pasta in three sets (6-1, 6-2, 6-3) by Juan Carlos Ferrero. and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga took out Richard Gasquet in four. Is it going to be Tsonga in the final with Roger?
For […]

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.
Roger Federer is obviously one of any sane person’s pick to win the Australian Open, but I think this tournament may be one of the best opportunities […]

Nalbandian Down

What’s going on Down Under? They’re dropping like flies!
David Nalbandian withdrew from the Kooyong tournament after suffering a back injury while warming up with Marat Safin. Nalbandian wrapped up the 2007 season with a flurry of a pair of wins over both Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. Psh, no big deal. Riiiiiight.
Nalbandian is now on the […]

Now Nalbandian

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 […]
