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 […]
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, […]
Because it’s March Madness, I didn’t watch tennis today. That was mistake number one. (How was I supposed to ditch my team when they needed me most, though?) Mardy Fish. Remember that name, because he beat Roger Federer in straight sets at the Pacific Life Open 6-3, 6-2.
Yeah - you read that right. Wow. Crazy.
Fish’s […]
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 […]
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, […]
Several others did what Roger Federer could not: they advanced at the Dubai Tennis Championships.
Andy Roddick defeated Juan Carlos Ferrero handily in two sets (6-2, 6-4). Rafael Nadal had to come from a set down to defeat Philipp Kohlschreiber and Novak Djokovic easily worked over Marin Cilic in straight sets.
Djokovic voiced what so many others […]
When I first saw the name of this tournament, I thought it said “ABN Amor.” For those who don’t know - “amor” means love in Spanish. Then I looked closer and realized I was just stupid.
Rafael Nadal, the last remaining seeded player in the draw got the pink slip by Andreas Seppi in a 6-3, […]
Yay! Rafael Nadal will be playing for Spain in the Davis Cup tie with Germany.
That’s nice. Now why did there have to be a huge deal made about Nadal playing? Complete with a comment from Nadal and everything: “Right now I’m with Tommy (Robredo) and at Indian Wells I’ll go with David Ferrer to prepare […]
