Well, the Rome Masters finally saw a complete match played after several of the tour’s top players withdrew because of injuries. Novak Djokovic came from a set down (4-6, 6-3, 6-3) to beat Stanislas Wawrinka in the Rome Masters final.
The victory was Djoko’s 10th career title It also puts him 310 points behind second-ranked Rafael […]
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 […]
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 […]
The year 2008 has brought about some funny things on the tennis circuit. The latest in a long line is the upset of Novak Djokovic by Kevin Anderson at the Sony Ericsson Open.
Kevin Anderson? I faintly remember hearing his name awhile back but it’s kind of a common name. Nothing really stands out about it. Maybe […]
I’m not exactly sure when Novak Djokovic was on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno but he was, at some point, fairly recently. I’m not a big fan of Jay Leno and it’s nothing personal - I don’t like any late night television. Maybe that makes me inhuman - I have no idea nor do […]
The Pacific Life Open played out like a Grand Slam and Novak Djokovic was the final man standing after defeating Mardy Fish in three sets 6-2, 5-7, 6-3. Sad. Fish would have been the Cinderella story of March.
The Serbians continued to represent well with Ana Ivanovic dumping Svetlana Kuznetsova in straight sets to win the […]
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 […]
Sporting events are such a funny thing. They’re hyped up. People look forward to them. People speculate. And then they fall apart when a vital piece of the puzzle falls off the wagon. I think it’s something a lot of people don’t realize. Sports are a finely-tuned machine and when one of the cogs on […]
Sports. We love them, right? I know I wrote earlier about how I fell in love with the game of tennis and this time, I want to speak a little more broadly about my relationship with sports. It’s a love/hate relationship. It’s up, and it’s down. When you’re winning (or your team or person is winning), you’re […]
The chips are in and the cards are down. The fortnight at the Australian Open is a closed book, but there are 10 moments from Down Under that were pretty special.
10. No Americans at the Australian Open past the quarterfinals.
I should take that back. There was one American who lost in the semifinals and that […]
