Can Monfils Stop the Djokovic Train?
Gael Monfils is having a fantastic tennis season. The Frenchman has made it the US Open semifinals where he’ll be facing off against world no. 1 Novak Djokovic this afternoon. Djokovic holds the edge in their previous 12 face-offs, having won every single one of them. He defeated him in the Roger’s Cup Masters 1,000 […]
Drama, Upsets, and Excitement at the 2016 US Open
As the 2016 US Open heads down the final stretch, it’s time to look back at some of the wonderful tennis we’ve seen over the past week. Young players have asserted themselves in the sport, mature veterans have fallen by the wayside, and we still have the inkling feeling that one of those familiar faces […]
“Guga” Carries Olympic Torch
Tennis fans would recognize that smile anywhere! Brazilian Gustavo Kuerten emerged with the torch and ran into the stadium, a worthy replacement for soccer legend Pele who pulled out due to illness. We had already been treated to four Olympic flagbearers that evening including Great Britain’s Andy Murray, Denmark’s Caroline Wozniacki, Spain’s Rafael Nadal, and […]
This Time It Was Personal
Back when Andy Murray won his first Wimbledon title in 2013, the weight of his country’s expectations was on his shoulders. He was the first British man to win the Gentlemen’s Single Trophy since 1935 (when Fred Perry won). Murray had already achieved the Olympic Gold Medal in 2012 for Great Britain, but he was […]
Murray captures his 2nd Wimbledon Title
Murray gave a famously tearful speech after losing his first Wimbledon final against Roger Federer in 2012. Twelve months later, he finally ended Britain’s 77-year wait for a male champion – and the chance to see him repeat the feat attracted huge attention. Spectators queued overnight just to grab a spot on Henman Hill, while […]
“It Came Down to Serve and Nerve”
Canada has its first men’s Grand Slam finalist in Milos Raonic, 25, who emerged the victor after a dramatic 5-setter at the All-England Club this afternoon. The match was decided by the fifth set, but it really came down to the fourth. After a lackluster first set, it seemed this wouldn’t be Roger Federer’s year with Raonic […]
The dream is still alive!
Roger Federer said after his three hour and 17 minute Wimbledon quarter-final match against his ouster from the US Open two years ago, Marin Cilic, winning it in a five-set thriller 6-7(4), 4-6, 6-3, 7-6(9), 6-3. For the millions of Federer fans, who have anointed him the “king of tennis,” they have been waiting for him to have another chance at a […]
Wimbledon 2016 Hits Full Swing
The 2016 edition of Wimbledon is fully underway as the first round has been completed and we approach the first weekend of play. Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on how you look it), we’ve yet to experience any major upsets or shocks so far, but we can sure bet it will as the matches continue and […]
Will Novak Djokovic Cruise to 2016 Wimbledon Title?
Life has been good to Serbian master Novak Djokovic in 2016. With a 46-3 record, he’s absolutely dominated men’s tennis. He has won the Australian Open as well as the French Open, which was surprisingly a first for the superstar. The only player even close to him these days is Andy Murray, though Djokovic still […]
A New Women’s Australian Open Champion is crowned.
Germany’s Angelique Kerber shocked the tennis world, beating the heavy favorite number 1 seed Serena Williams 6-4, 3-6, 6-4 in the Australian Open final. Kerber was ranked No. 6 in the world. Serena was attempting to tie Steffi Graf’s Open era count of 22 Grand Slams for the second time, losing at the U.S. Open in the semifinals to Roberta Vinci. […]
