Ever since 1966, England fans have been waiting for the next team to win the trophy, but that has not happened. In recent years, however, the premiership has been known for having the best league in the world, but are not producing good, homegrown talent unlike Spain and Netherlands.

Join Federer’s side of the net with Marianne here ..and a bit on Novak here There are moments when inspiration suddenly springs up in your mind, or ones when that very fire is rudely put out. And as with most people who, in the marathon of life, end up as “also rans,” I have suffered more of the latter than enjoyed the former. Needless to say, I like to think more about the...

Eight years ago, the tennis world watched in shock as a relatively unknown Argentine stormed to the Wimbledon final. He was stocky, gritty, and ornery, but there was something intriguing about his game, something that hinted at his vast potential.

More television coverage than ever also helped bolster the popularity...

The merits of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal are not up for debate, nor what their rivalry has brought to tennis. Yet draw a line, and almost every fan will step to one side or the other: favor Roger or favor Rafa. This collaboration takes the view from either side of the net. Neither will change the allegiance of the other, just offer the other man’s point of view: anti’s case for Rafa....

He’s a real person. He’s not an enigma. Off the court he’s not trying to be somebody. If you met him at McDonald’s and you didn’t know who he was,you would have no idea that he’s one of the best athletes in the world. —Andy Roddick on Federer Roger Federer can’t cook. That’s it. That’s the only negative I’ve got. Digging...

So the final Major of the year has ended too. New records were created, history was made, and future projections are being interpolated. Amidst all this, though, a lull has been created. The same month long lull which you face after the completion of Australian Open, with useless hard court tournaments like Indian Wells and Miami (I frankly don’t understand the need to play these tournaments...
