Now ordinarily I rarely post about other players on the tour other than Roger but seen as though Andy Roddick has played his last match at professional level and his career was intertwined closely with Roger I thought I’d post on how I will remember him. Before that I’d just like to say that I think the timing of his ... Read More »
Well not the US Open we all hoped for as Berdych silenced the Arthur Ashe crowd beating Roger in 4 sets to setup a semi final clash with Andy Murray. It was disappointing to say the least, with Roger 23-0 in US Open night session matches I thought he’d be beating Berdych comfortably. Berdych was always going to be dangerous ... Read More »
Apologies I couldn’t make this post sooner but I have been busy with work and a few other bits and pieces. The big news from yesterday was Mardy Fish pulled out from his 4th round match against Roger citing “health reasons” as the issue behind his withdrawal. I was very surprised at him pulling out to be honest, I went ... Read More »
Hola! Great win for Roger as he cruised past Fernando “Fiasco” Verdasco in straight sets in yet another routine match. I predicted straight sets and Fed got the job done winning 6-3, 6-4, 6-4. Yet again Roger recorded some great stats en route to his victory; hitting 30 winners, making 67% of first serves and winning 26 of 27 of ... Read More »
Routinerer. Another total cruise match from Roger as he beat German Bjorn Phau 6-2, 6-3, 6-2 to move seamlessly into the third round of the US Open. The good news is that Roger is looking very solid so far, his opponents so far haven’t been great but he’s got the job done and only spent 3 hours on court in ... Read More »
Boom, the US Open is underway and Roger got off to a pretty good start against American Donald Young beating him 6-3 6-2, 6-4 in the night match on Arthur Ashe. I managed to watch all the match thanks to a strategic nap beforehand and woke up at bang on 2am so I had 30 minutes preparation time (watching Clijsters, ... Read More »
Hey all, I decided last month to start a regular feature where I have a quick look into tennis tournament websites – what’s good about them and what badly needs improving. I started the feature with a review of the Cincinnati Masters website and now it’s time to review the US Open website. Grand Slams are the biggest tournaments of ... Read More »
Hey all, sorry on the delay on this post but I got tied up with other things, mainly work but luckily I’ve managed to squeeze it in before play starts on Monday. I think overall Roger got a pretty good draw, not the easiest as he has Berdych as a potential quarter final opponent and then Murray in the semi ... Read More »
Although this blog is primarily all about the GOAT I sometimes like to blog about other players and one man who fits the bill is the guy who just lost to Roger 19-17 at the Olympics and also beat him in the 2009 US Open final, Juan Martin Del Potro. After so many injuries and time away from the tour ... Read More »
I wasn’t going to post this one until the US Open drew closer but seen as though Fed’s not playing at the Rogers Cup and practically everyone else has dropped out with fatigue and injury I have nothing to blog about so here’s Roger’s outfit for the 2012 US Open. As usual there’s a day session outfit – a light ... Read More »
