Rafael Nadal: Player of the Month for April 2010

There’s something about the month of April that suits Rafael Nadal just fine. The clay suddenly appears like a magic carpet under his feet; his bandanna seems to fall out of place slightly more than on hard-courts, and his forehand readily jumps to the outer reaches of the court a tad bit more. In fact, April has historically been such a good month for Nadal that he’s captured 11...

Novak Djokovic Ponders Martin’s Mistake

Heading into next week’s Rome Masters event in Italy, Novak Djokovic will not only have to deal with the pressure of the world’s best players breathing down his neck during each and every round, but, it seems for now anyway, that the temperamental Serb will have the added hindrance of some technical difficulties on his side.

Rafael Nadal: Munching on Monte Carlo

Entering his seventh Monte Carlo event last week in Monaco, Rafael Nadal had one clear and present objective in mind: Begin the clay-court season full of fury, and put to rest all the nonsense of not winning a title in nearly a year. Well, to Nadal’s credit, and to the demise of his opponent’s, the Spaniard’s destructive and constructive play in Monaco showed us all that his ability... 

Monte Carlo Masters 1000: Draw Preview and Analysis

It’s time to officially kick off the clay court season with the first of three Masters 1000 events leading up to the French Open.

Sony Ericsson Open: Men’s Semifinal Preview

Key Biscayne, Fla.— A decimated field at this year’s Sony Ericsson Open has left a few familiar names standing, while entertaining two relative surprises. Of course, posting Rafael Nadal and Andy Roddick in the semifinals is far from a surprise. Both players have been near the top of the sport for close to a decade.
