Wimbledon: The Finals
I’m sure all Monday’s headline’s will be about Federer’s historic exploits. There is no question the man is a genius and deserves his rewards, but for me so much about Yesterday’s final was about Andy Roddick, The Player AND more importantly, the Person.
Robbie Koenig Blog: Murray Camp Quietly Confident As Oz Awaits
Well, what can I say other than that Andy Murray was too good in the Doha final against Andy Roddick last weekend. He was in a different class. Never at one stage in the match did it look like Roddick had a chance – that’s how good Murray played, and the scary thing is, he didn’t even get out of third gear!!!
Murray The Man To Beat, Despite Column To The Contrary
Well, its all happening here in the desert – first Rafael Nadal going out to Gael Monfils, then Andy Murray comfortably disposing of Roger Federer. I was reading some column by a guy from a prominent tennis website who says Murray only has a 25% chance of winning the Oz Open, and he couldn’t understand what all the talk was about Murray!
Robbie Koenig: Checking in from Doha
Hi tennis fans, I’m in Doha this week doing the commentating for the world TV feed. This tournament is insane!!! They have Nadal, Federer, Murray and Roddick (some serious cash been handed out right there for appearance fees!!!)
Robbie Koenig: The New Mr. October
Well, it has all been happening here in Paris! Andy Murray was finally defeated by an impressive David Nalbandian, but I had a chat with Murray’s coach, Miles Maclagen, after the match and he tells me Andy’s fatigued.
Robbie Koenig: Bercy Beckons!
It’s already the final Masters Series event of the regular season – can you believe it. I guess the talking point at this time of the year is “who is going to make the final spots in Shanghai?”
Robbie Koenig: The Blog From Madrid
Apologies first of all for missing my post on Thursday, but the commentating has been full-on this week in Madrid!!! Two matches after 8pm is such bad scheduling, no one stays to watch the second match, irrespective of who’s playing! Its crazy to start a match at 10:30/11pm at night, a few players were pissed off this week playing at that time, and i totally understand!!
Robbie Koenig – Live From Madrid
It’s good to be back on the road, albeit with a few connection problems getting here, but these next four weeks are gonna be highly entertaining, to say the least! Rafa in Spain, Murray staking his claim as part of the “Quad Squad” and is David Nalbandian gonna pull another rabbit outta the hat during the season end?
