Tony's Tennis: November 2014

http://tonystennistravels.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html

Tuesday, 4 November 2014. Novak - 2014s best, whatever the ranking points. The recent hype surrounding a "battle" for year end number one ATP ranking between Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer is purely statistical and unfairly has overshadowed the clear fact that once again Novak has been the player of the year. An interesting fact - if Federer finished 2014 ranked number one he would be the first in the Open Era to do so without winning a major in that year, since John McEnroe in 1982. I sense a double s...

Tony's Tennis: Novak Djokovic Supreme

http://tonystennistravels.blogspot.com/2015/07/novak-djokovic-supreme.html

Monday, 13 July 2015. Despite his compelling achievements over the past several years, many are still reluctant to afford the best male tennis player on the planet his due full credit. Amazingly some writers continue to couch the Djokovic stats in terms of a tired "Big Four" picture. But more of that later. The question apparently took on more weight given the thrashing dished out to Andy Murray by Federer in the semi final. Set two saw no service breaks in the first nine games, but a double fault from F...

Tony's Tennis: Women's Draw in Tatters

http://tonystennistravels.blogspot.com/2015/07/women-draw-in-tatters.html

Sunday, 5 July 2015. Womens Draw in Tatters. Rest day at Wimbledon 2015 gives everyone a chance to take a few breaths and analyse what has happened over an amazing first three rounds of singles play. While the top half of the women's draw has remained reasonably intact, apart from the disappointing early departure of seventh seed Ana Ivanovic, the dominance of Serena Williams was almost shattered by local Heather Watson who came within two points of ousting the champ. Of the remaining eight players in th...

Tony's Tennis: Round one done - lessons learned

http://tonystennistravels.blogspot.com/2015/07/round-one-done-lessons-learned.html

Wednesday, 1 July 2015. Round one done - lessons learned. What have we gained from watching the first round of singles matches at Wimbledon 2015, apart from the beginnings of a fortnights insufficient sleep? We now know that Petra Kvitova has found her path to a title defence, and third Wimbledon crown much clearer with the shock dismissal of third seed Simona Halep. Eugenie Bouchard, last year's runner-up, also departed in round one, but that sadly has become her MO for 2015. Another Australian, John Mi...

Tony's Tennis: July 2014

http://tonystennistravels.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html

Monday, 7 July 2014. Novak and Roger deliver a classic. Too rarely the final match of a Grand Slam tournament is an anti climax to what has gone before, but no need for concern with the Gentlemen's Singles Final at Wimbledon 2014. Novak won here in 2011, but had not tasted major success since the Australian Open in 2013, despite making three finals in that time. He ached for this one at least as much as Roger. The second set was the stage for a Djokovic revival, not that he had been missing for much....

Tony's Tennis: Serena's Sweet Sixth Wimbledon

http://tonystennistravels.blogspot.com/2015/07/serena-sweet-sixth-wimbledon.html

Sunday, 12 July 2015. Serenas Sweet Sixth Wimbledon. It may not have been her best tennis match, but when you have set a standard as high as Serena Williams over her illustrious career, anything offered on a tennis court now would be difficult to rate as the best, and after all, winning a Grand Slam tournament is all about defeating your opponent, not necessarily having to play perfect tennis, but the type of tennis for the occasion. The ninth game of set two was riveting. Serena double faulted and G...

Tony's Tennis: September 2014

http://tonystennistravels.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html

Tuesday, 9 September 2014. Finals create history with little contest. Unfortunately the two singles finals in the 2014 US Open were no more than exhibitions by Serena Williams and Marin Cilic. Luckily the tennis from these two champions was of a high enough calibre, not only in the finale, but in preceding matches to warrant the trophies and prodigious amounts of money headed their way. Both the finalists, together with Dimitrov and Raonic, and possibly Tsonga, must capitalise on the diminishing effect o...
