What an amazing final it was. I know it wasn’t such an epic on court. More of a drama of sorts but as a culmination of an amazing path to glory it was a real feat of Tennis. Stan swept past 3 top 10 players to clinch the trophy. Beating the number 1 and 2 players in the world. En …

I just watched the fantastic highlights of Gigor Dimitrov v Rafael Nadal at the Australian Open 2014. I haven’t seen Grigor much before. I was waiting for a proper test like this. What I saw in these highlights is really impressive. Nadal we know about but how close the match was it most interesting. That Baby Fed took the first set is …

I listened to the match and just watched it when I got home. I heard all about how great Roger was and that Murray was no where but I wanted to see for myself. Roger was impressive, we really haven’t seen him like this against top players for a long time but a few key things seem to favour him …

It’s very early to predict but it makes it fun to realise this fact. The only slam Rafa has struggled to win of late is Wimbledon.

Early on I thought I saw some different tactics than usual Cibu but I was wrong. That tells me it’s the same Cibulkova with great form but nothing new. Dominika also plays very much like Maria. …

I’ve been wondering what Roger Rasheed is like. The coach of Grigor Dimitrov has worked with some great players and I am wondering what he will bring to Grigors game. The interview from Kia Open drive gives a little insight into how Roger thinks. Somes like a really relaxed balanced guy. A former pro with experience. Could be very useful. …

Watching Stan against tommy robredo reminds me just how aggressive he has becoming. His footwork is fantastic, really setting him up, ensuring he covers any holes and turns every shot into an opportunity. Every rally seems to be so attacking when he plays. Right now, as this past year, I’ve found him mesmerising to watch. I just like the way …

Nadal teaches Gael why every action has an equal and opposite reaction. I’ve just tuned in and heard the initial hype around the match. Both players last met each other in a final. I thought I would try posting while the match is on. See what it’s like. Maybe I will see things differently. A quick check of the Nadal …
