Allez!
With the shocking retirement of Justine Henin, I was at a loss to decide who I wanted to see win the French Open. As the tournament continued, I knew I didn’t want to see Maria Sharapova win it. Dara Safina was playing well but beat my back up fave Elena Dementieva so I couldn’t get [...]
Stunned
WTA World Number 1 Justine Henin announced her retirement today. I was looking forward to watching her challenge for another Roland Garros title. Since her marathon match against Jennifer Capriati at the 2003 US Open I have never cheered for another female tennis player. The pint sized Belgian took on all challengers and got her [...]
Federer In Five
I’m a little tired today. I sat down around 9 last night to watch a tennis match that should have been a routine win for Number 1 Roger Federer. It ended up being a 5 set nail biter that lasted four and a half hours against Number 49 Janko Tipsarevic. It was incredible watching Tipsarevic [...]
Resistance Is Futile

Allez Justine!
It wasn’t the best tennis ever, but it was still great to watch Justine Henin win her third consecutive French Open Title. I did expect Ivanovic to put up a better fight but it looks like her nerves got the better of her playing in her first grand slam final. I love watching Justine play. [...]
Racquet Abuse?
Andre Agassi accidentally hit Steffi Graf in the face with his tennis racket, cutting his wife’s lip, as the pair played a game while holding hands for a fundraiser on Sunday. Ouch!
Flawless Federer
Visit the ATP tribute page. When the rankings came out this week Roger Federer was ranked number 1 in tennis for 161 consecutive weeks eclipsing the record previously held by Jimmy Connors. It will take him another two years to beat Pete Sampras’ record of 268 total weeks at number 1 but I have no [...]
