Fernando Verdasco showed that he still needs to improve the mental aspect of his game if he wants to be able to play at this level in the future.

Rafael Nadal who wanted to do well and who never gave up, unfortunately could never be aggressive enough to make any difference.

Thursday Preview - Barclays ATP World Tour Finals

Six time Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal's exit from the season ending championship came as a shock to some but an expected event to most tennis pundits and fans across the world. Nadal's presence in the Group B alongside his recent conquerers Soderling, Djokovic and Davydenko was a proof enough that his run at the event does not promise to take him too far. As for the others in the draw, the most significant of whom is the Swede Soderling, every single win is a bonus of sorts. Roddick's… Continue

Right now, men's tennis is all kinds of awesome

Barclays ATP World Tour Finals - Media Day

I have been on such a high. My high started with the released photo of the group of men finalists all dressed in suits.

Others looked as if they were born to be dressed by Anna Wintour. Either way, they all looked all kinds of awesome, a… Continue

ATP World Tour Finals 2

There are two feelings going through my mind when discussing Robin Söderlings great success so far in the finals, everybody knows he won in straight sets versus Rafael Nadal. The first feeling is tells me that it is great to see a swedish tennisplayer that has achieved such success!

A dedicated player with all the shots needed to play on such a high level. The other feeling does not really like Robin. And I am not only talking about his personality, everyone is different, some are… Continue

Barclays ATP World Tour Finals - Preview

The 2009 season has been quite eventful for more than just a handful of reasons. It is the year that has seen, arguably the best tennis player of all times, break into tears at the year's first Grand Slam final, it is also the year that has witnessed the 'Clay-Maestro' topple in his own backyard at Roland Garros, and it is the year that has rejoiced the emergence of some of the brightest stars in future tennis at a stage no less than the Flushing Meadows. However, as the season draws to a… Continue
