With Novak Djokovic winning every match he's played so far in 2011, the chances of him winning the 2011 French Open are really really good. He has already proven himself on the red clay twice against the King of Clay, Rafael Nadal. This takes me to the technical aspect of Djokovic taking the 2011 French Open Title from Nadal. Historically, we all know that Nadal is almost … [Read more...]
A Look At The 2011 Australian Open – Mens
It is really hard to believe that the 2011 Australian Open is only a couple of weeks away now. It seems like just last month Roger Federer was celebrating his ass-kicking of Andy Murray and an almost picture perfect run down under.
