To the tune of ‘Ole Man River’: Old Man Rafa, that Old Man Rafa, he must know something, but ain’t saying nothing, he just keeps rolling, he keeps on rolling along! Rafa has just won his seventh straight title at Monte Carlo— a gigantic accomplishment. Rafantastic! (to quote commentator Robbie Koenig).  Only four other players in history have won more than eight Masters...

Let’s see, Secretary of War? Or famous tennis star? Hmmm…Which career path to choose? How about…both? Not many tennis stars go to college. John McEnroe, who is famously known for attending Stanford, only attended the university for a single semester. John Isner, a current tennis star, is the only one in the top 50 to obtain a degree (at the University of Georgia) before starting...

He Floats Through the Air, with the Greatest of Ease … Who knew? Who knew that tennis was to be played in the air? Well, to clarify, in the contemporary game, players are taught to deliver their serve from a jumping posture. In other words, you jump into the air, thwack your serve, and then land on the ground. So the serve is the start of the air game. Everybody does it. But take a look at the... 


Wimbledon 2010: Rafael Nadal and Faking and Coaching

Rather than celebrating Rafael Nadal’s tough victory over Phillip Petzxchner, I am left asking uneasy questions.   Where have I seen this scenario before?  Ah yes, Monte Carlo, or was it…Rome?!  Yes. Rome.  2006, against Roger Federer.  One of the classic matches.  Roger is charging; he’s got momentum.   Suddenly, Rafa calls for the trainer, and...

Rafael Nadal made an interesting remark as he closed his post-French Open interview with Johnny Mac on TV. He said that he had his eye on the US Open! Does this mean that Rafa will devote some of his considerable energy and focus this year to achieving the career Grand Slam with a win at the US Open?   Might he consider not playing one of the two North American Master’s Series tournaments... 


French Open Men’s Final 2010: Will Rafael Nadal Beatdown Robin Soderling?

The French Open final has shaped up very interesting indeed.  What a relief Roger isn’t there, since we’ve seen the Roger/Rafa match-up on clay many times and it is not pretty.  (OK, it is pretty, but that’s the subject of a different article). Is a new rivalry being born between Robin and Rafa? Unlike Roger and Rafa, these are two individuals who don’t like each other,... 


Rewind ’05: Marat vs. Roger: Balletic Master vs. a Russian Bear

Mercury is a very smooth element—gleaming silver and round when positioned still on a tabletop, like an old-fashioned doorknob.   Coming into the Australian Open final in 2005, Roger Federer was smooth. Possessor of the most complete game in the sport, the deceptive forehand, and the greatest amount of topspin in the game, Roger had won every Slam but the French, where he fell to clay-court specialist...
