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

The Super-Sebian versus the French Clown

...Monfils’ passive and lame-brained approach to tennis will not work against Djokovic tomorrow. In fact, I did not expect it to work today against Stepanek. I am still stunned that it did. Indeed, after watching Djokovic blow Nadal off the court, I left home and went to play tennis myself, confident that I would come home to the news of a Djokovic vs. Stepanek finals. I have… Continue

The good town folk of Basel were in for a treat this last weekend, or so they thought.

Well there's always the Barclays end of year Master's Series in London to redeem himself before taking a much needed vacation.

So what went wrong? Have the top dogs found a chink in Federer's… Continue

2009 FRENCH OPEN: MEN’S DRAW PREVIEW

If you filled in your Roland Garros drawsheets this morning, you probably had an easy time at the top of the men’s: Nadal, Nadal, Nadal, Nadal, Nadal, uh, Nadal.
