Is there anyone out there who isn’t happy for Nikolay Davydenko? It’s been such a long time coming, but good things happen to those persist, and it’s been such a well-deserved win for Davo.
For the casual tennis followers, Davo’s probably about as fascinating as a pencil sharpener. But give it time and the little Russian [...]

Rafanatics, feeling a little blue? Avoiding tennis websites like a plague? Living in a see-saw state of angst and zen? Feeling unwarranted hate for non-Big 4 players like Davydenko and Soderling?
You have slumpitivis!
Trust me, I’ve been there. 7 months ago, Roger was struggling through matches, posting a succession of losses against the top 4 and crying [...]

Federer fans, let’s raise a fund to be used for giving Bobby Sod a lifetime’s supply of jelly beans, as the Dimpled Swede took down Rafa today, 6-4 6-4.
Good news for Rafa fans? He’s playing much better than he was back in Paris (Bercy), and it was probably one of the better matches from his [...]

The Mighty Babes were found frolicking together on a tennis court ahead of the WTF:
The two played a set, and word is that Roger won. Whatever. Rafa was probably just doing espionage work for Verdasco. FRAZZLE.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I need a cold shower.
Why does this reek of a bourgeois “gentlemen’s [...]

Good news Federer fans, Simon Reed has picked Murray and Djokovic as favourites for the WTFs. Poor Nole, he was just starting to look okay.
And bless Reed, he starts with a groundbreaking statement:
I’m pretty convinced that form is key for an event like the World Tour Finals.

And much like Obama’s press conferences in China, [...]

Rafa, WHYYYYYYYYY?! You had your hair perfectly done a few months ago, and now even Roger’s trying to avoid staring at it.
Hair gel, hand over, NOW!
You too Nando. I could make fried rice with all that grease in your hair.
Having gone to an all-girls high school next to an all-boys high school where all the [...]

So Djokovic took down Nadal. As much as I was rooting for him to stop Rafa, I felt horrible that it actually happened. Mind you, Rafa probably shoulda lost first match, it’s amazing that he even tumbled into the semifinal like he was there by accident. And it showed: he was outclassed. He was passive. [...]
