Well it’s here, my favourite Grand Slam of the year (well I am a Brit so what do you expect?) and Roger actually got a Nadal like draw. There’s no real danger players that you can really see him losing to and you could even expect him to make the QF/SF without dropping a set. Of course he still has ... Read More »
Jeu, set, match Djokovic 6-4 7-5 6-3. This one was such a weird match from start to finish and certainly not the blockbuster we all expected. The crowd never got into it, the intensity was low and the quality from both sides of the net was poor. Barring a couple of lengthy rallies that were great to watch, the match ... Read More »
Boom! Where to start? This match looked like it was curtains for Roger after he fell two sets behind playing some very mediocre stuff only to hit back and overturn the deficit for only the 7th time in his career winning 3-6 6-7 (4/7) 6-2 6-0 6-3. The first two sets were really all about Del Potro, he came out ... Read More »
Ooo la la well finally we got to see a competitive match against the young Belgian Goffin. After watching Roger play in practice mode for the first three rounds it was about time we got to see something interesting and we weren’t to be disappointed. Goffin came out and played first strike tennis that Fed couldn’t live with for the ... Read More »
Jeu, set et match Federer 6-3 4-6 6-2 7-5. Another dropped set but again another fairly comfortable victory on Phillipe Chatriere. I can’t really weigh Roger’s matches up at the minute, he’s playing like he plays in Exhibitions matches. I’m not sure if it’s him taking it all too easy because his draw has been a total dream or his ... Read More »
Another day, another record, which almost seems to happen in every match Federer plays in these days. After equaling Connors slam wins record on Monday, Roger has now broken it with 234 grand slam match wins. GOAT. Just like his 1st round match against Kamke there’s little to analyse. All I can really say is it was an ok performance ... Read More »
When you've followed Roger for as long as I have then I reckon you've experienced just about every emotion possible, here are my top 25, Enjoy! Read More »
Salut! Roger is underway in Paris with a fairly comfortably 6-2 7-5 6-3 win against German Tobias Kamke, it wasn’t vintage, it wasn’t pretty but in the end he got the job done. There’s not a whole lot to say about the match other than it being sloppy from Roger and Kamke gave a decent account of himself. Roger started ... Read More »
Well draw day, or D-day as I prefer to call it has been and gone and it’s best described as predictable. Nadal got a total cakewalk draw and yet again Roger was drawn in Djokovic’s half of the draw. Roger opens up his French Open campaign on Monday against Tobias Kamke, the German is ranked 77 and it should be ... Read More »
Here’s Roger’s outfit for this years French Open. It’s unlike anything else he’s worn at Roland Garros before and looks more akin to something he’d usually wear at the US Open. It’s the exact same style as his Madrid and Rome outfit just in a new anthracite colour. I’d say it’s closer to black than grey and has a carbon/charcoal ... Read More »
