Without big serving Andy Roddick anchoring them, the US just could not come up with a “W” at the 2009 Davis Cup Quarterfinals in Croatia.
Ivo Karlovic and Marin Cilic were too much to handle for James Blake and Mardy Fish.  One has to believe that had the injured Andy Roddick been there things would have [...]

Mardy Fish and James Blake just couldn’t come up with it yesterday.  The two big serving Croatian giants Ivo Karlovic and Marin Cilic battled it out with the Americans and won both matches in five sets.
Blake’s loss to Ivo Karlovic 6 – 7 (5), 4 – 6, 6 – 3, 7 – 6 (3), 7 [...]

I used to hate Roger.  I hated him because he dominated some of my favorite players.  Some of the best guys in the game were getting walked all over by this guy and he wasn’t even breaking a sweat.  Then it hit me,  I disliked him because he was too good and that wasn’t me. [...]

Andy Roddick yelled out “you already have five”  in a most unsportsman like manner during Roger Federer’s speech immediately following his 2009 Wimbledon victory.  The greatest tennis player the world has ever known outlasted a near pefect Andy Roddick in the Wimbledon Men’s Final and won 5-7, 7-6, 7-6, 3-6, 16-14.
It was 4 hours and [...]

Talk about an uneventful Wimbledon 2009 women’s final! Serena Williams beat older sister Venus in straight sets 7 – 6, 6 – 2 to get her 11th major title.
Venus played nothing like she did over the past 2 weeks and Serena played better than the past 2 weeks. They know each other’s weaknesses [...]

Roger Federer’s service game was unstoppable against Tommy Haas in the Wimbledon 2009 Semi-finals today. He won 7 – 6, 7 – 5, 6 – 3 and ended it with a Sampras like jumping slam dunk smash.
Tommy Haas definitely put up a fight. Let’s face it, he is kind of like the bionic man [...]

Dinara Safina is a wreck. I had some real high hopes for her as a player. She is currently #1 in the world and seems to be the physically strongest player out there today. Mentally she has a glass jaw. Venus Williams had her beat before they stepped out on the [...]

The five set battle between Andy Roddick and Lleyton Hewitt gets my vote for the best match of Wimbledon 2009 through the Quarterfinals. The brawl lasted 3 hours and 50 minutes with the final tally being 6 – 3, 6 – 7 (10), 7 – 6 (1), 4 – 6, 6 – 4 [...]

The new retractable roof at Wimbledon is cool.  One June 29th during the Dinara Safina and Amelie Mauresmo match a bit of rain came down on center court.  There was little hesitation from the officials to close the new roof over center court for the first time.
The powers that be at Wimbledon were so excited [...]
