You know, there just isn’t a whole heck of a lot of things going down on the courts right now. I mean - other than Rafael Nadal cruising into the Barcelona final in smashing fashion and Vera Zvonareva taking the Prague Open title without dropping a set the entire tournament.
But there’s a lot going on […]
The weather is getting better, Mother Nature is teasing us with hints that summer is just around the corner, and it all means one thing. Tennis time!
(Image: Newscom) - The tennis court at Beijing…what an amazing view!
Amazing how the number of people on the tennis court grows in leaps and bounds when the sun is […]
It took a long time, three years worth of long, for Robert Dee to finally get his first victory as a professional tennis player. Dee was one loss short of tying the record of 55 consecutive losses when he notched the big W in Barcelona last week with a 6-4, 6-3 win over Arzhang Derakhshani.
Dee […]
The Monte Carlo Masters kicked off today. Juan Carlos Ferrero needed three sets to beat out Michael Llodra; Ferrero lost the first set 7-6 but leveled Llodra in the final two sets at 6-1 apiece.
Andy Murray and Mario Ancic persevered in the first round as well, but the Cinderella story (if you can have one […]
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 […]
I’m a little late in putting in my two cents on this, but I spent the whole day moving cattle. Yes, it’s true - I wear my cowboy boots just as well as I wear my tennis shoes and I hold the reins of my horse just as proficiently as I hold my tennis racket. […]
It’s been quite awhile since we’ve had a clash of this nature: Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova will be facing each other in the quarterfinals of the Family Circle Cup. Lately, those big clashes that have been forecast usually end up being duds. Hopefully this one isn’t one of those.
Serena has had Sharapova’s number as […]
I found this on ESPN today while I was avoiding some of my work. It cracked me up so much that I had to share it with you all.
Patrick Hruby had a serving session with John Isner. Mostly, it consisted of Isner blowing is 140-mph serves past a drop-mouthed Hruby. Who, by the way, was […]
I haven’t picked on Andy Murray for awhile and any time he is linked to the Davis Cup is a perfect time to talk about him.
Murray stated he would play for Great Britain at the Davis Cup in September when the Brits play Austria. After the debacle that surrounded his decision to not play for […]
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 […]
