The Age Of Rafael Nadal: Rafa Wins The U.S. Open, Completes Career Slam

In a U.S. Open where the final was pushed to Monday for a third year in a row, Nadal defeated a very in-form Novak Djokovic to take the one title he needed to complete the rare career slam and all by the age of 24. While the match may not have been on par with the Federer vs Djokovic semifinal, it was still full of exquisite shot-making and at times the highest drama possible. With a snarl on his face,... 

Rafael Nadal: Rebirth

When Rafael Nadal won his first two French Open titles in 2005 and 2006, people said he was a typical Spanish clay court grinder who would fail to win a Grand Slam outside Paris, just like the Spaniards of the 90s. He reached the finals in ’06 and ’07, and won arguably the greatest match of all time by beating Roger Federer, the best grass court player of the era, in the ’08 Wimbledon... 

U.S. Open: Rafael Nadal Takes the Title, Wins Career Grand Slam

The match was supposed to be on Sunday…That didn’t happen. It was supposed to last from 4 pm until 7…That didn’t happen either. The rainstorms in Flushing Meadows kept delaying the Men’s Final of the U.S. Open. But one thing they couldn’t change was destiny. After multiple rain delays, top seeded Rafael Nadal captured the one title that eluded him, The U.S. Open.... 

Rafael Nadal Defeats Novak Djokovic in Four Sets To Win First U.S. Open Title

U.S. Open 2010: After Historic Win, What’s Next for Rafael Nadal?

With Monday’s victory over Novak Djokovic in the US Open final, Rafael Nadal joins Rod Laver, Andre Agassi, and Roger Federer as the only Open era players to have won the career Grand Slam. He and Agassi, Federer, and Jimmy Connors are the only men to have won majors on clay, grass, and hard courts. With nine major titles, he moves past Connors, Agassi, and Ivan Lendl in terms of the number of... 

Dennis Miller Rant on the Current State of Tennis at Bleacher Report

Hello Tennis Boobies, Your articles have been coming out like “Ellen” with her big announcement from her sitcom.  It has been slow, painful to watch, and the climax was like …”oh it’s a gay thing.” Now, I don’t want to get off on a rant here people, but do you call yourselves writers?  I’ve seen better writing on a grimy inside of the men’s’... 

U.S. Open 2010 Men’s Finals: Rafael Nadal Wins, Owns Career Grand Slam

It was not clean. It was often far from pretty. But it was as expected. More power, more pace, and more mistakes meant a win for Rafael Nadal over Novak Djokovic. In the end, Nadal forced so many mistakes. The history of the match showed, once again, that it is easier to lose the match than to win it. And that despite being nearly even in winners, the man with the fewest unforced errors usually wins... 

Yani Tseng Outduels Michelle Wie to Win In Arkansas

She almost did it again. Two weeks after her second career victory, Michelle Wie came up one shot short of Yani Tseng at the P&G NW Arkansas Championship. After lighting up her second round, including a 28 on the back nine, Wie cooled down Sunday to shoot two-under par and finish at 12 under.  A couple of late bogeys would be her undoing, despite finishing with back-to-back birdies. But this...

Professional tennis players have annoying habits. It’s these rudimentary-compulsive ways that can not only help them win matches, but also make them unlikeable.
