This is going to be short and sweet because, well, it’s not a surprise and do we care anyway? No, I didn’t think so. Because like any other sport, seedings and rankings are only a number. Once Wimbledon starts, then it’s all about who wins and who loses.
But for now, since Wimbledon hasn’t started yet, […]
The early morning update (for me anyway - darn west coast time!) - Roger Federer ousted the American Sam Querrey in the first round of the French Open. Bummer dude. I liked Querrey but he had one heck of a hard first round draw. Even when Federer is off his game, he’s formidable and not […]
There’s another job opening for all you tennis coaches out there. Yiannos Hadjigeorgiou cited personal reasons when he stepped down from his perch as Marcos Baghdatis’ coach and really didn’t have much to say beyond that. Hadjigeorgiou will continue coaching Baghdatis as the Davis Cup team captain.
Hadjigeorgiou took the Baghdatis job in May of 2007 […]
I have been dying to write about the 2008 Popcorn Tennis Awards but it has been overshadowed by things like Novak Djokovic and Maria Sharapova winning Australian Open titles. Like that is a big deal or something.
(By the way - the “t” on my keyboard is being a bit obstinate and not wanting to work […]
Venus Williams could be the next icon for women around the world when it comes to holding ground on center stage.
Williams was asked to move her third-round match against Sania Mirza from Rod Laver to Vodafone in order to start the Lleyton Hewitt-Marcos Baghdatis showdown. Williams said “no go” and the officials of Operation Aussie […]
Wow. It’s amazing what happens in the tennis world over night, especially during the Australian Open.
Perhaps the biggest news is that Roger Federer got pushed to five sets. It would have been monumental had Federer lost, but we won’t go there. It took the Big Man over four hours to finally push Janko Tipsarevic (a […]
I’m watching the replay of the Marcos Baghdatis/Marat Safin match. How nerdy is that? I already know who wins - Baghdatis in a 6-4, 6-4, 2-6, 3-6, 6-2 battle - but here I sit, glued to the television as though it were live.
I love tennis; what can I say?
With the victory, Baghdatis will face Lleyton […]
There’s nothing better than coming home from a day of work (a Monday day of work no less) and kicking back on the couch with a couple of pillows and flipping on coverage of the Australian Open.
WOW! I just saw an amazing point won by Marcos Baghdatis over Thomas Johansson. I can’t even describe it other […]
