Roger Federer Plays Freely At 2011 US Open
World #3, Roger Federer had his first round match against Colombian Santiago Giraldo at the 2011 US Open. Federer said in his pre-match interview with Pam Shriver that "I've practiced against him [Giraldo] many times, so I know his game very well." Pretty confident I'd say. Santiago Giraldo came out swinging for the fences, there were a few exchanges in the second set that … [Read more...]
Old Man Federer Out Again
That's a second year in a row where Roger Federer has been dismissed from Wimbledon in the quarterfinals. Up two sets to love, Federer must have had a major brain fart or something, because he blew that lead and lost the quarterfinal match against an inspired Frenchman, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in 5 sets. I really have to hand it to Tsonga for his performance today, he literally … [Read more...]
Federer Blew It
Well no, he actually did not blow it, he just ran out of belief in himself. Federer came out of the gate firing a storm of forehands, backhands, volleys, and aces.

Andy Roddick Not Hungry Enough
Prior to the 2011 Australian Open, Andy Roddick's camp (Doug Spreen, Lance Hooten, and Larry Stefanki) had never seen Andy so "hungry" to compete this year, especially at the first Major of the year, the 2011 Australian Open. In the early rounds, Roddick looked rather strong ousting Hajek (6-1, 6-2, 6-2), Hunitsyn (7-6, 6-2, 6-3) in the first two rounds, then had a small … [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. This year, the game has changed, well sorta, we still have the usual suspsects at the top and a few up and comers with the hunger to wipe out those … [Read more...]
