Is Roger Federer’s Reign Over?

Roger Federer losing in the Quarterfinals at Wimbledon.  Now there’s a proposterous, unprecedented, and even downright silly idea. Or is it? Everyone who follows the game closely saw this coming.  I’ll let you in on a little secret… I saw it coming too.  Maybe those crazy, utmost fanatic Roger Federer worshippers—who upon witnessing the Swiss Superstar... 

Wimbledon 2010: Five Reasons This is Andy Roddick’s Year

It was a heart-breaker alright.  Andy Roddick lost in the most gut-wrenching fashion possible last year when his serve was finally broken while trailing Roger Federer 14-15 in the fifth set of the 2009 Wimbledon Final.  Many thought it was Roddick’s one final shove towards erasing his place in the game’s history books as a “one-slam wonder.”  Losing... 

It’s a Wash: Predicting a Winner at Wimbledon 2010

Going into the 2010 French Open, everyone knew who would come out the victor.  It was bound to be, a sure-thing, and anyone would have bet with full odds on the King of Clay to surmount the field at Roland Garros.  Tennis can be a very predictable, almost predetermined sport at times and sure enough, Rafael Nadal gave the field a thorough thumping.  He played absolutely... 

Rafael Nadal: Repeat of 2008 in Order?

It’s a common occurrence in the game of tennis. Blowing things out of proportion, that is.  And I admit I have been at fault a time or two. When a player slips out of form, succumbs to injury, posts a few bad results, is absent from the tour for any extended period of time, or just simply is out-of-character, everything seems to hit the fan. Past examples include those who wrote...

The French Open looms on the horizon. The classic red dirt and spring air of the Parisian Grand Slam Tournament at Roland Garros are just hours away, with match play set to begin on Sunday.

Hey Wait a Second? Why Is Roger Federer No Longer Winning?

Roger Federer isn’t enjoying himself as of late.  Can’t blame him.  It’s kind of hard to enjoy yourself when you are the world No. 1 and you are losing almost half the matches you are playing.  Federer is doing a good job of hiding his disappointment, however, deflecting questions from reporters and experts trying to pry into his game, all the while the smooth-talking... 

Roger Federer’s Struggles Continue

At this time last year, Roger Federer was struggling.  He had smashed his racquet in frustration after early exits at Indian Wells and Miami while many questioned his ability to regain his winning ways and capture a record 15th Grand Slam Title. Federer remarked that he was glad the hard-court season was over, and he was looking forward to the clay-court swing of the tour.  And indeed he... 

The Rest Of The Grand Slam Season: What Could Happen

Predictions in the men’s tennis game haven’t changed much over the last few years: Nadal or Federer, take your pick. Maybe a surprise here and there at the Australian Open, maybe a new face here or there at the U.S. Open, but for the sake of change, here are some bold predictions for the remainder of the 2010 men’s tour.   2010 French Open The French Open goes to Nadal,... 

You’ve Got To Be Djoking?

The boos echoed, the sun took its usual toll on a player who is notorious for giving in to the physical stress of a match, and Novak Djokovic lost another one he “should” have won, because he is “supposed” to be the no. 2 ranked player in the world.  Heck, he is supposed to be pretty darn good.  After the match, Djokovic made some interesting comments, stating...
