Roger vs. Rafa  |

Rafael Nadal (Rafa) vs. Roger Federer (Rogi). Yes I remember the old days when many of us referred to him that way…now it’s almost like he should be referred to as Mr. Roger Federer… What a great idea the exhibitions are. AndTennisTV.com will be streaming: the first match will be held in Zurich on Deceber 21st and then Madrid on December 22nd.

Going back to Roger Federer. My standing order of 100 calendars arrived from Switzerland today. I’ve loved each and every year. Once again it’s magnificent. Hurry and order thru his foundation website. I owe some lucky contest winners that have been patiently waiting. And dear Adam is setting up a contest as we speak. So get ready to Tweet or Like us on Facebook. Help this little site grow. We aren’t a year old yet. We promise to offer as much as we can. We need all of our loyal followers to help out…plus more of those great Solinco Strings in the next contest.

Looking over the Auzzie open playoffs. 10sballs.com has s soft spot for Auzzies. From Harry Hopman to Rod Laver, Wayne Arthurs, and Pat Rafter. We also have some great Auzzie chicks out there. Louise Pleming is a great broadcaster, coach, and friend of tennis. We love Alicia Molik and great to see her get a wild card into Hobart. Good luck.
I have to go back to the Federer calendar. It’s really a labor of love project of Rogers’s dad Robbie. The January photo is poetry in motion. Nureyev on a tennis court. February is awesome…trust me; it’s amazing. So, calling all Federer fans: Order the calendar!

Beautiful to see Rogers’s sponsors involved. Jura. Lindt. National Suisse. Wilson. Gillett. Don’t know where is Nike, Net Jets, or Rolex? But know they are all lucky for the connections and endorsements to the best tennis player ever…

Back to Rolex…where’s the purple and gold version/model for Wimbledon….

Oh dear Santa Claus please give Roger everything on his list and big congrats to Caroline Wozniaki for officially ending the year number one. Who else? Rafael Nadal. Esther Vergeer, Shingo Kunieda, and the Bryan brothers. Congrats to all of the 2010 Number Ones!

The only way to describe this U.S. open is soaking wet without raining... It's really hard to play tennis when your socks are soaking wet and you are "sloshing" in your shoes. Your shoes get really heavy when they get wet. 2018 U.S. OPEN TENNIS FROM 10SBALLS • KANEPI BEATS WTA | TOP SEED HALEP thumbnail
