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 […]
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, […]
There has been some ups and downs to start this first quarter of the 2008 season. Probably the one that sticks out the most is Roger Federer’s decline. Well - maybe not decline - how about the narrowing of the gap between him and the minions chasing him? But for today, I’d like to put […]
I think rankings can really get in the way sometimes. As a player, if you get too caught up in where you sit in the top 10 - or the fact that you’re sitting outside the top 10 - it can take your focus off of where it really needs to be.

When Rafael Nadal was drop-kicked out of the Australian Open by a relative unknown, I thought - Hmm - wasn’t expecting that but a little bit of upheaval will be good for the tennis world.
So if a little bit is good, does that mean a lot is great?
Novak Djokovic punched Roger Federer’s ticket on the […]
Holy crap.
That’s about all I have to say, really. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga put on a clinic in his 6-2, 6-3, 6-2 whipping of Rafael Nadal in the Australian Open semis. I rewatched part of it during the day today and it was kind of painful - on Nadal’s part anyway. The Spaniard looked like he had […]
