I’m Scared Of You: The 10 Most Intimidating Tennis Players In The Open Era

Tennis Kaleidoscope: To London We Go!

Everybody, apologies for the late post.  Anyway, now the top eight players are in London, and matches are certainly going to be entertaining to watch here!

Roger Federer Vs Rafael Nadal: War of The Worlds

In the day, it was a theme of abstruseness, of obscurity, of unknown: the epitome of the word revolution. This so-called revolution, the internet, has done us our good, but of course, given birth to cyber-borne soldiers.   Instead of lining on a battle field, these soldiers jab at each other like birds fighting for the last worm.  But for them, a cause infinite times more worth than a worm;... 

Tennis Kaleidoscope:Roger Federer, Robin Soderling, Monfils, Llodra Runs

Often the site of tedious matches, the BNP Paribas Masters is played in arguably the worst part of the tennis season.  This year, however, had just about the best matches the whole year! Michael Llodra’s run certainly tells us he’s on the rise.  It’s no fluke.  He had three match points to reach the final, but for the veteran, the semifinal was a feat.  Watch out... 

Tennis Kaleidoscope: Roger Federer The Man To Beat Right Now, Not Rafael Nadal

Just ask Roger Federer.   He knows how it feels to be the person to beat. He has regained the unofficial title of The Best Player Right Now, easily beating Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic for the top spot.

Call It Class: Roger Federer Commands Novak Djokovic in Basel; What Next?

Call it class.  Call it Roger Federer.   As much as a French martini has class, it can’t match that of Roger Federer’s game.

Tennis Awards: Rafael Nadal, Serena Williams, Roger Federer and More

2010 has been the epitome of a great season; Rafael Nadal’s reign, Serena Williams’s stay at the top, and many new faces have highlighted a splendid year.  However, who deserves the claim of attaining a “B/R Tennis Award?” It was definitely a battle for these awards, a John Isner- Nicolas Mahut fight for some recognition.   The awards were finally decided, but it’s... 

Tennis: Doha Update, Preview on Upcoming Azarenka, Stosur, Clijsters Matches

“The tension was so thick, you could cut it with a knife.” That can be said of the Samantha Stosur-Francesca Schiavone match today in Doha, but another “version” of the idiom can be deemed appropriate.  “The humidity was so “thick” and sticky, you could cut it with a knife.  Samantha Stosur summed it up perfectly: “Obviously, it’s very... 

Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal Rivalry: Is It That Good?

Most say that the greatest rivalry in the sport of tennis is happening right now. It started in 2004, and is still going.   It’s Roger Federer versus Rafael Nadal. Critics have declared this rivalry the greatest of all time. Fittingly, Federer and Nadal are one of the people to wield a racket and bounce it across the net. But before we celebrate this amazing rivalry, there is a question.... 

Andy Murray: Just a Master, But Not a Great Like Roger Federer Or Rafael Nadal

It seems as if the United Kingdom is trying to breed some talented and successful tennis players, but also, disappointment.  Will British tennis ever be revitalized?  There is always room to hope, especially after Andy Murray’s win in Shanghai, but there is rarely any room to see something happen. British tennis was never at the top during the Open Era, and after approximately 40 years...
