The BBC have announced they are cutting back the red button video to a single stream on all platforms from this week, so that probably means even less chance of seeing your favourite players at Wimbledon. Must have blown their budget on the Olympics.

I couldn't believe how well Serena played throughout the tournament to win the 2012 Olympic Gold Medal. I can't remember ever having seen a female player play a better tournament? Perhaps Graf's 1988 French open domination is close (factoring in the additional round )? I started looking at her perf...

There is my point about the next coming major. I believe that Serena Williams has the biggest chance to win in London and Maria Sharapova is her only competition. No other tennis player on the womens side has a chance to win at Wimbledon. And now some thoughts concerning the mens draw. Four players have...

Carlos Berlocq - Gilles Simon Berlocq is obviously known for his clay court play, but he usualy fails when playing on the european courts. I don't really know what that happens, but his results this year clearly show it. Last week he didn't pla good tennis at all in Umag, where he advanced a pair of round...

Hello. I'm not the greatest at playing tennis. My serve is terrible and when I'm into the point I'm okay at keeping a rally going.
