The good news for Andy is that the 2012 Olympics draw will exist without Rafael Nadal. The bad news is that he isn’t going to win it, and it isn’t even a Slam. Sure, he is coming fresh off a terrific finals run at Wimbledon (and a quarterfinal showing at Roland Garros if that counts for anything), but he is still not playing at a high enough level to beat anybody in the Big Four. Perhaps...

With Andy Roddick capturing his second tournament win in his past three events in Atlanta yesterday, it seems American tennis is in a decent state at the moment. However, A-Rod will soon be gone from the sport, as will Mardy Fish and James Blake (and Michael Russell, if that counts for anything). People can take their place, but those new icons may not be strong enough as players to duplicate the success...

The fortnight of the 2012 Wimbledon Championships in London was a truly remarkable thing to experience. Roger Federer met and defeated Andy Murray in the men’s final, but it did not lay out as simply as that. The two faced several obstacles on their way to the deciding match and had to come up clutch in every pressure moment. The other members of the Top Five challenged the two athletes but were...

The Big 3, consisting of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic, have won all of the past nine Wimbledon championships. The Swiss King of Grass and Hard Courts (though Pete Sampras presented himself as a great competitor to the grass title) has won six titles alone. Nole, after becoming the world No. 1 player last year, won his dream title for the first time and is now the defending champion. But...

When Roger Federer is putting on a masterclass performance, you will know it almost instantaneously. His clinics consist of his opponents struggling to hold and break serve and even win points. He serves a high percentage of first serves and gets a lot of returns into play. Rog will even throw in some off-speed shots, such as drop shots and forehand slices, to toy with his competition. The following...

At the 2012 French Open, the first half of the third-round matches have been played. Today displayed many great matches with players in fine form and others in obvious slumps. The French crowd was overall hurt but had many tennis players representing their nation in good ways. The top players, including Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic, took to the court and attempted to move a step further in the...

As we near the conclusion of one of the most remarkable clay court seasons to date, it is imperative that we look into the most important questions and storylines regarding the 2012 French Open. Although many Top-20 players, such as Tomas Berdych, David Ferrer, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Fernando Verdasco and Janko Tipsarevic, enjoyed stellar results on the dirt, the primary focus of the media and of the...

Tennis is an incredibly difficult sport, especially when a player makes life harder for his or herself. Some people can pull off very tough shots while others just get lucky. Due to video technology, we have been able to capture some very impressive moments and shotmaking in tennis history. Roger Federer and Marcelo Rios may be the kings of producing brilliant strokes, but some other less talented...

One thing that advertisers and tennis players emphasize greatly is clothing that will appeal to the masses. Certain companies’ clothing lines can be just as eye-capturing as a tennis match itself. Celebrities and players, such as Fernando Verdasco with the Adidas brand (Edge has been a particular success) and Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal representing Nike, contribute to the lucrative cause...

Tennis players and fans sincerely like to have a good laugh every now and then. Imitating one’s idols is about the closest people can come to being those role models or at least enjoying their success. I, for one, love to impersonate tennis characters (especially in table tennis), and even the professionals like to show off their lighter sides. Here are the top 15 most comedic impersonations...
