Just a couple of weeks ago I was talking about how Halep was trending downward, and rightly so. Her results aside from reaching the Australian Open and the Italian Open finals have been pretty disappointing. Also, let’s remember she was blown out at the Italian Open...

His game looks exactly like Roger Federer’s. They call him Fed Jr. He’s had some amazing results. He won the year end championships in 2017 and looked like he was on the rise. He was the 4th seed at the French Open. The expectations have always been super high, but...
Unfortunately, Monfils lost in five tough sets to David Goffin from Belgium in the third round of the French Open. However, as always, he did in style, taking those in attendance on a wild ride. He held four match points in the fourth set on Goffin’s serve, but it was...
Just a couple of months ago I was talking about how Sharapova should shelf her fancy outfits. I used both Serena and Federer as examples of top players that had pretty much done away with fancy outfits and were just focused on winning. I referenced shiny, gold blazers...

Maria Sharapova In the past couple of months, I’ve been a Sharapova naysayer – and rightly so. Her results this year have been dismal. For a player of her caliber and trajectory, it has been nothing short of a complete disappointment. We all expected this five-time...
I love myself some good tennis announcers to add color, perspective and insight to a match. So, it got me thinking the other day, “who’s my favorite announcer, and why?” After a long deliberation, here’s my ranking for tennis announcers, and the reasons I think they...
Just when we thought bad boy/girl tennis antics where a thing of the past, Pliskova showed us this past week that we were quite mistaken. She went on a umpire chair smashing tirade after a loss in the second round of the Italian Open that would make John McEnroe...
Seems like all we’ve been doing in 2018 is talking about top players coming back from either maternity leave or injury. I can’t remember a time when so many top players where running around the WTA and ATP tour trying to get back in form because they either gave birth...
Halep is at the top of women’s WTA tennis rankings. That may come to a surprise to some because she hasn’t been playing very well since losing in the final of the Australian Open to Wozniacki in January. After Australia she had to retire in the semis of the Qatar...
Azarenka is a champion, she’s a former number one, she has won two grand slams, but I feel as though her comeback has been a bit of a dud so far. Granted, she is stuck in a complicated custody battle that has kept her schedule a bit light, but she seems to have been...
