Huge fan of Roger Federer - I'll pretty much try and watch all his matches from Grand Slam level right down to ATP 250. When I'm not watching or tweeting about tennis I play regularly myself and use this blog to share my thoughts on Fed and tennis in general.

Nadal Demolishes Federer in Rome to win Title

Nadal Demolishes Federer in Rome

Hey guys, well what a big disappointment that was as Roger was comprehensively owned 6-1 6-3 by Nadal who took down his 24th Masters 1000 title in another solid display that sadly found Roger wanting and looking completely clueless out there. I said in my prediction that I gave Roger a 10% chance but on today’s performance I was being ... Read More »

Federer Defeats Paire to Setup Final with Nadal in Rome

Federer defeats Paire in Rome

Hey guys. Another solid match from Roger and he’s into the final where he’ll meet his old adversary Rafael Nadal who predictably got by Berdscat in today’s other semi final. Today’s match wasn’t the cleanest from Roger but he got the job done and played well enough when it mattered to progress in just under an hour and a half ... Read More »

Federer Defeats Janowicz in Rome to Make Semis

Federerer defeats Janowicz

Buongiorno! Another nice match from Federer as he progressed to the Semi Finals where he’ll meet Frenchman Benoit Paire. Like his 2 previous matches this was a solid display and another great serving performance that saw him defeat the young Pole Jerzy Janowicz 6-4 7-6 (2). I think the circumstances prevented seeing a stylish display like we saw against Simon ... Read More »

Federer Destroys Simon 6-1 6-2 in Rome

Federer defeats Simon in Rome

Hey guys, just a quick post after Roger pulled off an absolute demolition job against Gilles Simon brushing him aside 6-1 6-2 in just over an hour. It was another glorious display of tennis from the GOAT as he pulled off just about every shot in the book to totally dismantle a guy whos’ been as high as 7 in ... Read More »

Federer Schools Starace in Rome

Federer Schools Starace in Rome 2013

Buonasera! What an absolute clinic that was from Roger as he swept past Potito Starace 6-1 6-2 in just 51 minutes. Tough to put into words how well he played in this one as it was such a fluid performance and Starace didn’t even play badly yet he got taken apart. As a fan you couldn’t ask for a better ...

Promising Draw in Rome for Federer

Internazionali BNL d'Italia 2013 Draw

The good thing about the Mutua Madrid Open is that Rome immediately follows it meaning there’s little time for Roger, or his fan to dwell on his loss to Nishikori earlier in the week. The semi finals in Madrid haven’t even been completed yet and the Internazionali BNL d’Italia 2013 Draw is already out, whoop! Not only that it’s a ... Read More »

Federer Crashes to Nishikori in Madrid

Nishikori def. Federer

Wow well what a joke of a performance that was. First of all let me say I’m not shocked by this defeat just majorly disappointed; I had Roger to win in straights without too much of a problem but he ended going out in 3 with another total whimper of a performance in the final set. Since Australia Fed has ... Read More »

Federer Opens Title Defence with Win vs. Stepanek

Federer def. Stepanek Madrid 2013

Finally! The wait is over, the return of the GOAT onto a tennis court and he didn’t disappoint as he cruised past Radek Stepanek 6-3 6-3 to start his title defence in good fashion and get back to winning ways on the ATP tour after an 8 week break. The match itself wasn’t high quality and there weren’t really many ... Read More »

Federer Raring To Go in Madrid; Brennwald Apologises

Federer Mutua Madrid Open 2013

Hey all, Madrid is underway and I think we’ll be seeing Roger on either Tuesday (tomorrow) or Wednesday. It’s been a long wait so let’s hope he delivers. He’ll be in action first against Radek Stepanek who disposed of Tomic in straight sets, I thought that would be the case as Tomic is slumping yet again when he’s outside of ... Read More »

Madrid Open Draw – No Real Surprises

Madrid Masters 2013 Draw

The Madrid Draw is out and surprise surprise Federer and Nadal ended up in the same half as pretty much the whole world expected. Fortunately they’re not in the same Quarter like we saw in Indian Wells this time their seeded to meet each other in the Semi Finals which I think makes it more interesting. Obviously it seems that ... Read More »
