  • Roger Federer Ready For Late Season Push

    Roger Federer won his 68th singles title on Sunday, which puts him fourth on the all-time list behind McEnroe, Lendl and Connors, who has a seemingly unbeatable 109. Still, the fact that the win in Basel, his fifth in six years, came after a 10 month drought, teaches us more about Federer’s place in the Tennis World at 30 years old.

  • Federer and a Historic F&*^ Up

    Roger Federer messed up, Novak Djokovic rose to the occasion, Rafael Nadal ruled over Andy Murray, as usual. The top 4 Semi Final at the US Open set us up with a repeat of the Wimbledon and the 2010 US Open final – Djokovic vs Nadal.

  • Roger Federer Finding it Hard to Accept Defeat to Novak Djokovic

  • Rain Delay Ain’t a Problem for Roger (Federer vs Tsonga)

    It’s not like Roger Federer has got an easier opponent waiting for him in the Semi Finals – Novak Djokovic, the hottest thing in world tennis, but beating Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in straight sets, avenging that Wimbledon defeat and and coming out firing after another rain delay has got to have Federer pleased with the way he’s playing right now. In my opinion, the best performer so far in the US Open.

    Scheduling at tennis can get crazy sometime. With fear of losing the next day (today) due to bad weather, the organizers of the US Open had Roger Federer play his match to end day eight of the 2011 US Open at 23:50 local time. It ended about 80 minutes later, at 1:15. A comfortable win at a very uncomfortable time for Federer, setting him up with a very uncomfortable foe at the Quarter final.

  • Roger Federer Drops a Set In Third Round Win over Marin Cilic

    Roger Federer didn’t look his unbeatable old self. He hasn’t looked like that since 2007 and shades of 2009, but despite a wobble and vulnerability showing during the second set and much of the third, the Five time US Open champions beat Marin Cilic 6-3, 4-6, 6-4, 6-2, advancing into the third round and beating Marin Cilic for the third time in three matches.

    Turning 30 this week, Roger Federer spoke about his future, the 2012 Olympic Games and him NOT planning on retirement or giving up on the chase after the next Grand Slam title. It’s been 16 so far, more than anyone else – 6 Wimbledon, 5 US Open, 4 Australian Open and one French Open. It’s been over 18 months since his last triumph, in Australia, against Andy Murray. Just to remind you, here’s how he looked all 16 times he won, during an era mostly dominated by who is (in my opinion) the greatest tennis player of all time.

  • Can Roger Federer Get One More Grand Slam?

    Days before turning 30, Roger Federer is mounting up for another title chase and hopefully a 17th Grand Slam before time really runs out for the Swiss legend. As usual, there’s that Rafael Nadal problem in the way, and more.
