I woke up at 6am today just to watch the Mens Wimbledon Final. Six hours later, it’s still going although now they have paused with a rain delay.
Over the years, I’ve learned to appreciate Nadal despite my first impression which admittedly was formed by his tennis shorts rather than his game. What I like about [...]

Talk about pressure.

I somehow missed this neat little nugget of Wimbledon information from a few days ago:
June 27 (Bloomberg) — Alla Kudryavtseva of Russia took delight in dumping former champion Maria Sharapova and her outfit out of Wimbledon yesterday.
“It’s very pleasant to beat Maria,” said Kudryavtseva. “Why? Well, I don’t like her outfit.”
Sharapova’s outfit, a white [...]

Personally I have more respect for athletes that dress like serious athletes. You can see more fashions here.

It’s nice to know Marat Safin still has it in him.
One of the things I like about Safin is that he is always entertaining to listen to. He’s blunt, honest and at times self-effacing.
“I had to take my opportunities as he was under pressure fighting for the world number one spot so he has to [...]

I love reading Dostoevsky because the characters are so over the top. They get drunk, they create scenes; in short they are grandiose.
Mikhail Youzhny has been an exciting player to watch the last couple of years. While I’ve always appreciated the on-the-surface emotion of players like Andy Roddick, this video of Youzhny pretty much blows [...]

This is big.
Unseeded American Mardy Fish produced a stunning display to beat world number one Roger Federer in the semi-finals of the Pacific Life Open in Indian Wells.
World number 98 Fish served superbly and fired winners from everywhere as he raced to a 6-3 6-2 victory.
Not sure what to say. Sorry Federer? Better luck next [...]

Oh, I don’t know, because he says things like this maybe:
“He’s [Murray's] going to have to grind very hard for the next few years if he keeps playing this way.
“He tends to wait a lot for the mistake of the opponent,” said Federer.
“He stands way far behind on the court and that means you’ve [...]

I have to admit when I read yesterday that Roger was planning on breaking Sampras’ Grand Slam record this year, I thought to myself that it may not be so easy for him. It’s always just when you get too cocky that someone else can sneak up on you. So many of these young players [...]

Australian Open finalist Jo-Wilfried Tsonga lost to Croatia’s Mario Ancic in straight sets in the first round of the Marseille Open on Wednesday.The seventh seed suffered a 7-5 7-6 defeat with Ancic, the former world number seven, in scintillating form.
Ouch, not only is the tournament in France, but it’s in ethnically diverse Marseille. I still [...]

A lot of attention has been payed to Djokovic’s impression of Sharapova, but I think his Roddick, Nadal and Federer are even more on target especially his Federer where he nimbly pirouettes all over the place.
But now I want to see his impression of himself. This photo shows his amazing flexibility which is as [...]

All of a sudden the tournament just got more interesting.

Tsonga definitely reminds me of Ali if Ali played tennis, but I’m just excited to have the hope that another great player can topple Federer. We saw a little of that with Tipsaveric.
It’ s not that I don’t like Federer, but the game is boring with just one dominant guy. I’m eternally grateful to Nadal [...]

You only have to have watched a few recent tennis Grand Slams to know that Roger Federer shares the management company as Tiger Woods and Thierry Henry. This advert absolutely makes me cringe. With all the money that they have you would think they’d be embarrassed to lather up and shave for the camera. Let’s [...]
