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 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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
I just watched Roger Federer demolish Nicolas Mahut. I still don’t know who he is and apparently it isn’t going to matter in this tournament. Federer cruised. No, not cruised, he was a tornado in his utter destruction. Okay, not utter. He only won 6-1, 6-1.
Hmm…maybe I should just pick up a pair of pom-poms […]
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 […]
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 […]
Even though Roger Federer has been ailing and is in danger of losing his strangle hold on the number one slot in men’s tennis, he still managed to eke out a win in an exhibition against Pete Sampras.
After a 6-3, 6-7, 7-6 victory for Federer, it still doesn’t solve the question of who is better. […]
Was I too quick to judge Roger Federer and his drop-off this season?
Nah. I don’t think so. That’s what I’m here for. It’s what I get paid to do: to spout off, jump to conclusions and be a sometimes-jerk. I’m okay with that.
Roger has mononucleosis. Mono for short and for those in the know. It’s a […]
