Roger Federer vs. Novak Djokovic: Repeat Or Reversal of Fortunes?

Only two men are through to the semis and they both got through their quarters in compelling fashion. Naturally, I’m talking about Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer.  Their rivalry is often overlooked in the grand scheme of things, when it is all about Roger and Rafa and whether they’ll get to their 23th career meeting in the final of the Aussie Open.  Meanwhile, the Djoker and... 

Australian Open 2011: Predicting the Men’s Quarters, Semis and Final

Four rounds have passed, and we find ourselves in the quarters. As usual, the men’s field isn’t exactly ripe with surprises and early upsets.  The exception being a 22-year-old Ukranian named Alexandr Dolgopolov, who sent both Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Robin Söderling packing in impressive five-set displays and is now set to meet Andy Murray in the quarters.  Roger Federer was... 

Caroline Wozniacki Beats Dominika Cibulkova. What’s in Store For The No 1.?

The women’s tennis No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki defeated the gutsy and hard-hitting Slovakian Dominika Cibulkova — who beat Wozniacki in Sydney just 10 days ago — to pull through to the fourth round of the Australian Open. Wozniacki won the match 6-4, 6-3, but it wasn’t exactly in convincing fashion.   Eurosports commentators finished the match saying, “The whole match... 

Australian Open Tennis 2011: Rafael Nadal’s Bid For Immortality

The 2011 Australian Open is upon us and this could be a big one for the history books. Only one man has held all four Slams in the Open era. Rafael Nadal now bids to become the second.  The only man who’s done it in the Open era is widely regarded as one of the best tennis players ever to pick up a racket. I’m naturally talking about the great Rod Laver, who won a Calendar Slam twice,... 

Superb Nikolay Davydenko Thrashes Ailing Rafael Nadal in Doha

When was the world’s No. 1, Rafael Nadal, last broken in five consecutive service games? It’s been a few years I dare say. From the start, it looked as if we were to be gifted with a Fedal final to begin 2011 with.  Nadal came up an early break and Federer had taken care of business earlier with a straights set win over Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. It was time for revenge for Nadal, who had... 

Roger Federer-Rafael Nadal. Is It, Finally, Time For Another Meeting?

The two most feared and revered men on the tennis scene have only met one time this year, namely on the fast clay-court in Madrid where Rafael Nadal won in two close sets. Are we finally in for another clash between the two players, who bring out the most emotion in the fans? It would be only their third meeting in the second half of the season ever and universally welcomed among tennis fans across... 

Will Serena Williams Ever Again Reach the No. 1 Spot in Women’s Tennis?

Over the years, we have come to associate Serena Williams with the No. 1 ranking in the women’s game. Whenever a new and less proven woman ascends to the top spot, the critics are quick to declare this or that woman an “untrue” No. 1. Sometimes, like in the case of Dinara Safina, Serena contributes to the fuss. With 13 Slams titles to her name and a game strong and powerful enough... 

Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal: Head-To-Head Revisited

As Rafael Nadal starts picking up more and more Slams, one statistic gains importance; his head-to-head with the proclaimed Greatest Of All Time, Roger Federer.  Ten months ago, Rafa’s Grand Slam tally was six, whereas Roger had 16. With Rafa’s knees in an uncertain state, the most likely outcome of the 2010 season seemed that each would win a Slam; perhaps one of them winning two.... 

Is Caroline Wozniacki a Worthy New No. 1 in Women’s Tennis?

Women’s tennis has a new No. 1, and her name is Caroline Wozniacki. By beating No. 34 Petra Kvitova 6-3, 6-2, she has secured the top spot by Monday morning. The player she beat could hardly have been more fitting. Kvitova literally blew Wozniacki off the court in Wimbledon’s fourth round, where she beat her in a lopsided 6-2, 6-0 match. Avenging the defeat with a No. 1 ranking must be... 

U.S. Open 2010: With Andy Murray Out, Way To Crown Is Wide Open for Rafael Nadal

Rafael Nadal looks prone to get to his first US Open final. When the draw got out, the general opinion was that Rafael Nadal had the easiest path to the semi’s – that is, of the top dogs.  With the two most, nay, let’s say three most dangerous guys of his half out of the tournament, the road to the final is as open as it will ever get. I’m speaking of Andy Murray, Tomas...
