Then it was off to have a look at the outside courts to see if any of the big names were out practicing. There was noone I rec...

Some news to warm the heart of Arka ! Nadal goes out to Malisse

Once Nalbandian had lost, I thought that Nadal was a cert for the title. However, Malisse beat him 6-4, 7-6[4]. Once again, he was outhit by an attacking baseliner with a booming forehand. So Nadal's drought contin...

Pick four players, one for each Slam, who you think are going to surprise us all by their performances next year. They must be ranked outside the top 80 and you can't choose someone like Victor Hanescu, who is under ranked due to injury. US Open - Sam Querrey. Wimbly - Mischa Zverev. Roland Garros - Juan M...
