Djokovic Wins Pacific Life Open

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 […]

Fish Fells Federer

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 […]

Fish Reels in win over Nalbandian

Rafa digs in for victory over Tsonga

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, […]

Federer Rolls Ma-who? at Indian Wells

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 […]

Top Seeds Marching on at Indian Wells

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 […]
