It’s tennis, daaaaarling…

It feels like I haven’t been in touch with tennis news for such a long time. Geez… That doesn’t seem normal. But it’s true. I haven’t been watching, which means I just don’t keep track.

New #2.

So Andy Murry overtook Rafael Nadal to be the new World Number 2 as of this week. Rankings as of 17th August 2009.  It’s nice to see new blood taking over and nice to see some movement/fluctuations in the rankings, but at the same time it’s difficult to see Nadal drop one place. Hope your [...]

Even I feel bad. Then again, maybe not.

Anyone caught the match between Nadal and Djerk yesterday? Man, was it emotional. Nadal won the first set, lost the second. Was at the third and deciding round when Djerk made a really silly error. Like a really silly error. At match point, nonetheless. A really silly smack at the net, which ended up out of court. [...]
