    Rafael Nadal – Never Going to be the Same

    Formerly the best player in the world, Rafael Nadal is hoping he’ll make his return as early as January 2013. Some actually think he’ll show up in the Year’s end tournament in London, but when next year’s Australian Open still isn’t the clear, it’s hard to expect him to be back so soon.

    If anyone was hoping to see Rafael Nadal back on the courts before the end of 2012, you’ll be disappointed. The good news, sort of, for any Nadal fan and generally tennis lovers, is that the Spaniard is setting his sights on the 2013 Australian Open as his big comeback on the ATP Tour.

  • Rafael Nadal – Bluffing Isn’t His Strong Suit

    The 2012 tennis season won’t be a very memorable one for Rafael Nadal, who did win the French Open for the 7th (new record) time, but he’s also been out with an injury since an early exit at Wimbledon. However, it does give him more time to do other stuff, like PokerStars promotions, trying to convince people he isn’t Rafa.

  • Rafael Nadal Injuries – A Huge Blow to the World of Tennis

    Instead of taking advantage of Novak Djokovic’s return to humanity from his superhuman 2011 season, Rafael Nadal keeps missing tournaments since losing early on at Wimbledon. First the Olympics, then the Canadian and Cincinnati Masters, and now finally the US Open.

  • Rafael Nadal Keeps Dropping Out of Tournaments

    Now this is getting worrying.

Then came the announcement of dropping out from the Canada Masters, and now comes the announcement of dropping out from Cincinnati. How bad is it, really?

    There are six players in the current ATP rankings, last updated on August 6, 2012, without a Grand slam title – Andy Murray, David Ferrer, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Tomas Berdych, Janko Tipsarevic and Juan Moncao. With beating Roger Federer to win the Olympic gold medal, we take a closer look at four of these players, who probably deserve and have a bit more of a shot to win a major at some point in their career.

  • Roger Federer, Best Tennis Player in the World Once Again?

    Maybe the return to number one doesn’t mean that Roger Federer is back to the status of best tennis player in the world but actually enjoying the benefits of the ATP’s ranking system, but for those who doubted his ability to win in Wimbledon this year, to win a Grand Slam tournament with Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal in the playing field, the win over Murray was a huge middle finger straight in the face.

  • Wimbledon 2012 – Rafael Nadal and the Greatest Upset in Tournament History

    Forget about Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic, Nadal and Federer. No number one return for Nadal as well, after losing before the third round of a Grand Slam for the first time since 2005, losing to the world number 100, Lukas Rosol, in the second round of the 2012 Wimbledon tournament.

  • Wimbledon 2012 Prediction – Nadal or Djokovic or Even… Federer

    Eventually it comes down to two players, the last two Wimbledon champions – Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal. Two players who have won the last nine grand slam tournaments.

  • Roger Federer Won’t Win Another Wimbledon Title

    Losing to Tommy Haas wasn’t in the plans. Roger Federer, rebounding from his decisive 0-3 defeat to Novak Djokovic in Paris at the French Open should have won the Halle tournament, or at least he thought he should. It didn’t work out, and Roger Federer heads into Wimbledon a little less confident than he expect to.
