It was close. Awfully close. Way too close for my liking - I can only imagine what Ana Ivanovic thought after barely surviving a 6-7, 7-6, 10-8 second round match with Nathalie Dechy at Wimbledon.
I followed it closely on the computer until it was 7-all in the third set. Then I had to go to […]
Oh the carnage! Opening day at Wimbledon has come and gone, and half of those who took the court today are disappointed. The other half are not. (Deep - I know…)
I got home from work today and flipped through the draw to see who was still alive and kickin’. This morning I mentioned that Lleyton […]

Federer lost the first set in a big way with Gonzalez teaching him how it’s done to the tune of 6-2. Federer then turned the tables in the next three sets, winning the second 6-2, […]

That is the only way to describe Roger Federer’s 6-1, 6-2, 6-0 win over Fabrice Santoro. Santoro had his charm, especially on the last two points of the match, but Federer - wow. The man is just liquid motion on the end of a racket.
Someone who was in motion but not very great motion was Venus […]
