It's funny how quickly things change in tennis. An example of this change is the time between tennis seasons; it feels like I just said 'goodbye' to the 2011 season and I'm now I'm staring stright down the barrel of the 2012 tennis season. Boy was that fast! With the new season less than a week away (from the time I'm writing this blog post), we have a lot to look forward to. I … [Read more...]

Happiest of holidays to you
Well, that's pretty much it, I suppose. It's officially the weekend that Christmas lands on, so for most of you, it's a day to spend with those closest to you, inspire the imaginations of the little ones in your family with the thought of a jolly old man entering through the chimney to deliver beautifully wrapped gifts, and the day to celebrate the holidays, please remember to … [Read more...]

I"m going to be honest here, I'm not a … [Read more...]

Can Federer be #1 in 2012?
Now that the regular 2011 tennis season is officially (officially) over, and Roger Federer finished out the ATP World Tour Finals as the champion, this begs the question of Federer's 2012 bid for the #1 spot...again.

A tennis Christmas wishlist

I have also been really polite when it came to competitive tennis matches; I told my opponents "good luck" before starting the match and even shook their hands after the match - even when I lost! I watched as much as my wife … [Read more...]
