Despite apparently still having not fully recovered from his appendix surgery, the 28 year old is in Melbourne and is … [Read more...]
Who to look out for in 2015
The tennis season is over! It’s been an eventful year as always. Novak Djokovic ended 2013 as number two in the ATP world rankings; he ends 2014 as number one. Meanwhile, in the women’s game, Serena Williams ended last year as world number one and still remains 12 months later. So, on the face of it, little has changed.

Wilson tennis missing out on a load of money
We all know that the king of tennis, Roger Federer, plays with a Wilson tennis racquet; but the billion dollar question is which Wilson tennis racquet is Federer actually playing with?

Ok, so we all know that Rafa lost to the new Swiss numbero uno, Stanislas Wawrinka 6-3, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3. To me, it is refreshing to see another player that's not named Nadal, Federer, Murray, or Djokovic hoisting a major trophy over their head; Stan Wawrinka earned every single point in his final match against the world #1. But I'm starting to see that Wawrinka's AO win is being … [Read more...]
