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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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 »
