Novak Djokovic, worthy of a Montage

April 26, 2013 By James Crabtree 4 Comments

by James A. Crabtree Novak Djokovic is the spoiler of many parties. He has captured almost everything the game has to offer. He has won when he shouldn’t have, caused Roger Federer to smash a racquet, caused Rafa even more OCD’s, won over partisan crowds and nudged his way to the top of the tennis [...]

The Best Live Match Ever

September 27, 2012 By James Crabtree 1 Comment

by James A. Crabtree I was talking with a fellow tennis fanatic the other day and the conversation shifted to the best live match we had ever seen. The fellow fanatic in question has rather deep pockets and could recount epics played throughout the world and the great corporate seats they had and blah blah [...]

Rafael Nadal pulls out of London Olympics; Serena Williams on a mission — The Friday Five

July 20, 2012 By Tennis Grandstand Leave a Comment

By Maud Watson Déjà vu It was three years ago when Rafael Nadal suffered a major upset at Roland Garros at the hands of Robin Soderling, announced he had knee problems, and then pulled out of Wimbledon, unable to defend his crown. Now it seems he’s been handed a very similar scenario in 2012. After [...]

If I Were The Tennis Santa

December 22, 2011 By Lindsay Gibbs 1 Comment

I really feel bad for the tennis players over the holidays.  They work so hard for so little and barely have time to relax!  So if I were the Tennis Santa, what would I bring them to lighten their load and bring a smile to their faces during this season of cheer? The first thing [...]

We Miss You Robin Soderling

December 9, 2011 By Lindsay Gibbs 3 Comments

Robin Soderling used to be one of the most misunderstood players on the the ATP World Tour.  Nowadays, however, he’s just one of the most missed. Earlier this week Soderling, who has been off of the tour since July fighting mononucleosis, withdrew from the Australian Open.  He tweeted that he was hoping to be able [...]

Novak Djokovic: My Sportsman of the Year

December 7, 2011 By Kelyn Soong Leave a Comment

I was thrilled when James LaRosa of Tennis Channel informed his Twitter followers back in May that Novak Djokovic would appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Djokovic was in the midst of a remarkable 37-0 run and was on top of the tennis world. What would the cover photo be? Perhaps it would be [...]

Dolgopolov, Nishikori Among Players Looking for Top 10 Debut in 2012

December 6, 2011 By Van Sias Leave a Comment

The top 10 of the ATP World Tour rankings might not be as rarefied air as one might think. Of the top 50 players on tour, 26 have spent time among the elite at some point in their careers. There is a mix of veterans and young players still trying to join that crowd. Here’s [...]

Federer Triumphant Over Fish as Tsonga Sends Nadal Packing – Live Coverage

November 25, 2011 By Tennis Grandstand Leave a Comment

by Ahmed Ibrahim Round Robin formats often lead us down the path of making those calculations of who needs what results to qualify. Thankfully, Thursday’s Group B matches were a rather simple affair: The ”dead rubber” and the “last chance saloon” match. Mardy Fish, already eliminated from qualifying, faced an in-form Roger Federer while Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Rafael Nadal battled it out [...]
