Spanish Boys Have A Little Fun

Posted on August 20, 2012 by admin| 1 Comment

Here’s a little something for the Spanish fans out there. These videos are from the 2011 Davis Cup celebrations and as you can see the boys were perhaps…. a little dusty.

You’ve got Nadal busting a few moves that make me think he really wasn’t lying when he said he’s now not as shy as he used to be as he snuggles up to Marc Lopez and Felicano Lopez – at one point looking like he was practicing some clumsy pick pocketing on Feli.

But it’s all for fun so lets have a giggle as we see these boys let their hair down.

Andy Roddick Farewells Wimbledon?

Posted on July 3, 2012 by admin| Leave a comment

In an unusual move three time finalist Andy Roddick kissed the crowd goodbye as he left the court after being defeated by David Ferrer.

Does the gesture mean it’s all over for the once great, now injury riddled, Roddick?

“If I don’t have a definitive answer in my own mind, it’s going to be tough for me to articulate a definitive answer to you.”

Time will tell.

Nadal Dominates Ferrer For Seventh Roland Garros Final

Posted on June 8, 2012 by admin| 2 Comments

It was never going to be easy for David Ferrer to beat Rafael Nadal with Rafa giving up just 13 sets over the last 8 years with a 50-1 win-loss record in Paris. Unfortunately for David, Rafa was not in a giving mood. Nadal was impressive as he claimed his spot in the Roland Garros finals for the seventh time with a 6-2, 6-2, 6-1 win in one hour 47 minutes.

It was one of those matches you couldn’t not watch. One of those matches you couldn’t understand why the Parisian crowd weren’t salivating over it. It was also a match where you felt the odds were stacked against Ferrer. Read more »

Nadal Wins Seventh Barcelona Title

Posted on April 30, 2012 by admin| Leave a comment

As great as it is to sit back and watch Rafael Nadal display his clay court brilliance again you have to feel sorry for David Ferrer. While Rafa was busy claiming his seventh Barcelona title and becoming the only player to ever win two tournaments seven or more times, David was suffering his fourth defeat in Barcelona at the hands of his friend.

David pushed Rafa for almost three hours but ultimately Nadal secured the title 7-6, 7-5.

Ferrer, it seems, is destined to always be the bridesmaid and never gain a major title despite the fact that he undeniably deserves one for years of consistently grinding the best in the game to within an inch of cramps. Read more »

Hewitt Battles Djokovic To The End

Posted on January 23, 2012 by admin| Leave a comment

There was never any doubt that one of tennis’ most psychologically strong men, Lleyton Hewitt, would give everything he had against Novak Djokovic and he did. After a rough first set Hewitt changed his tactics and gave Novak more of a fight.

Hewitt was handily battered by Djokovic in the first two sets and then put his body on the line to get the third. After feeling a chance to go up 4-3 Hewitt was left frustrated as the opportunity went wanting.

Lleyton struggled to scramble everything back as it became obvious he was even compensating as he walked to keep the pressure off his degenerated big toe. Then he started shaking out his hands as he struggled to block out his screaming body. Read more »

Fines, Controversy, Injuries And Bubbles – Strangest Australian Open Ever

Posted on January 23, 2012 by admin| Leave a comment

I think it’s safe to say that even though we’re only just into the first day of the second week that this has been the strangest Australian Open ever.

There have been a significant number of injuries on both the men’s and women’s side but at the time of writing there had been an incredible 8 retirements and 1 withdrawal on the men’s side alone.

Rafael Nadal injured his knee getting up from a chair but played on. Kim Clijsters re-sprained her troublesome ankle but played on. Li Na seemed to be the kiss of death for ankles knocking both Anabel Medina Garrigeus and Kim Clijsters to the ground in the early stages of their first set. Read more »

I always wondered if this happens… Watch from 0.52 to first hear and then see Nadal play a little bit of accidental brandings with David Ferrer in their match warm up yesterday :)

Happy New Year Everyone
