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 »
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 »
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 »
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 »
Hey guys, the countdown timer until we see Federer play again is slowly but surely getting closer to zero so I thought I’d start some early discussions and take a look at what to expect from the man himself throughout the European clay court swing. I was planning on waiting till closer to Madrid starting, but seen as though Roger ... Read More »
Hey all, here’s Roger Federer’s outfit for the 2013 Madrid Masters and for the Internazionali BNL d’Italia Rome Masters in the run up to the French Open. First thoughts, wow I’m shocked. A green crew neck tshirt? Very Nadal esque and I’m instantly not a fan of this one. What has Roger done to deserve this one? I know he ... Read More »
COME ON! Great performance from Roger here in a very tough match against Thomas Berdych. Fed had to use all his guile and experience to get himself over the line in 3 difficult sets and in doing so won his 20th ATP Masters 1000 title to equal the record set by some Spanish player. I was hoping that Roger would ... Read More »
Boom, great win to make the finals for the 5th time in Madrid and now Roger has a great chance of moving up to number 2 in the rankings should he beat Berdych in tomorrows final. Back to the match against Tipsarevic, it was a total routine for Roger and he brought his A game to the court. After Janko ... Read More »
Great match from Roger as he increased his H2H with Ferrer to 13-0. He really struck the ball well last night and was able to dictate the match without ever having to get out of 2nd gear. Ferrer came out with a clear tactic of playing far more aggressive than his usual style. He really tried to serve bigger too ... Read More »
Total cruise match from Roger here as he swiftly progressed into the Madrid Quarter Finals seeing off Frenchman Richard Gasquet in straight sets. After battling past Raonic yesterday evening it wouldn’t have been stupid to think tonight’s match against the talented Gasquet was going to be equally difficult. As I predicted though Roger clicked from the offset was was able ... Read More »
