Federer smashing racket in Miami

Federer smashing racket in Miami

“He (Federer) smashed a racket in anger in Miami the last time he played, and Sky Bet are offering 16-1 he smashes another this week in Monte Carlo, where he plays Andreas Seppi in the first round today.

Ladbrokes quote 100-1 for Fed’s nipper to arrive during the men’s final at Wimbledon – the same price as sunshine – and a very tempting 7-4 for him to miss the halfway cut.”

Sony Ericsson Open Wrap

Monday, April 6th, 2009

Ok so it has been another stellar week for Andy Murray who took his third Masters 1000 series shield. I still hate him though.

Serena Williams falls apart to youngster Victoria Azarenka but keeps the number 1 ranking by just a few points.

The mentally fragile duo of Mauresmo/Kuznetsova take the womens doubles title by making their way through the draw as a wildcard pairing.

Veterans Mirnyi/Ram take mens doubles crown.

Federer extends title drought but looks ahead to the claycourt season.

Jankovic is number 25 in the championship race….

Over 1/3 of the spectators at the tournament had a net worth of $1 million or more….

Rafael Nadal describes his loss as an “Incredible Disaster”. Wonderful use of words I think.

Federer breaks racket, concentration but not serve

Saturday, April 4th, 2009

Sure to be the talk of tennis forums for the night, the usually well mannered Federer smashes his racket on court and then doesnt shake the umpires hand at the end of the match.Fairly shocking :(

Federer v Dent Tuesday, Andy Murray fur hats

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

Match of the day:

  • Federer v. the aggressive but injury prone American Taylor Dent

The two have never met on the tour before.

Should be an interesting match up. You can be sure of a good bit of serve and volley action with a little
“attack the Federer backhand like everyone else” from Dent. Hmmmmmm. Federer to take it 7-6 6-3 maybe :)

  • Federer in an interview Sunday is confident things wont change when him and Mirka have their first child in the summer.:o
  • Ivanovic on her new coach, “It’s working great really. We enjoy working with each other. We have great communication on the court, so that’s really good.” AH. That must explain her dismal displays as of late.
  • Samanta Stosur on whether beating world number 2 Safina was her biggest singles win of her career. “Yep. Yeah, it would be.” Confidence Personified…… :D
  • Serena after her match with Jie Zheng “I don’t think I played great. I thought she played probably her best tennis yet.” Giving credit where credit is due, as usual. *rollseyes*

A few photos of the day :p

Day 6 of the Sony Ericsson Open, Miami

Monday, March 30th, 2009

My picks of the day

  • World number 4 Andy Murray v. the veteran Chilean and former double Olympic gold medalist Nicolas Massu
  • 32nd seed and renowned underachiever Feliciano Lopez v. recent riser Fernando Verdasco
  • and world number “1″ Serena Williams v. the doubles specialist that brought about Ivanovics downfall Jie Zheng

With top 10-ers Jankovic, Safina, Ivanovic and last weeks Indian Wells titlist Zvonareva pathetically falling in the 2nd round, womens tennis just keeps getting bleaker and bleaker with players like Alexa Glatch and Asha Rolle being the U.S’s next big ‘hopes’.

Looks like another title this week for one of the “we dont play IW beccause we were ‘racially’ booed” Williams sisters…….

But on a much brighter note Kim Clijsters is officially coming out of retirement in the summer and Roger Federer is looking good this week.
Life is good :)
