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 […]
I was watching a rerun of Roger Federer’s match with Gael Monfils when I noticed something. (Yes, I am that person. I am a nerd, and apparently I don’t do too much to hide it!) Monfils’ serve: watch it. Well, now you can’t actually, because Federer beat him, but the man isn’t coming off the […]
So Roger Federer almost lost in the second round of the Monte Carlo Masters. Down 5-1 in the third set, he won five games in a row and won the tiebreak over 137th-ranked Ruben Ramirez Hidalgo. But really, what’s the big deal? I’m tired of talking about Federer and what his recent slump means. I’d […]
Over the past four years, Roger Federer winning a title that wasn’t a grand slam wouldn’t be headline news. Heck, even Federer winning grand slams became so routine that it was just another blip in the sports section.
However, Federer won his first title of 2008 at the Estoril Open after Nikolay Davydenko retired with a […]
Roger Federer practiced with a new coach in Portugal to try and rebound from his less than stellar start to the 2008 season. (If you’re Roger Federer, anything less than perfect is an unstellar start.)
Jose Higueras from Spain coached Federer for a few hours over the weekend. Higueras won 15 ATP titles.
Whether Higueras had any […]
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 […]
Beating Roger Federer doesn’t do much good if you can’t follow it up with another victory. Andy Roddick squandered his breakthrough victory over Federer by losing to Nikolay Davydenko in straight sets at the Sony Ericsson Open. I guess that’s what happens when you’re still reeling from an emotional victory 24 hours earlier.
Davydenko had fallen […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
