Roger Federer- Responsible for his own Downfall?

He might be 0-6 against Djokovic but one thing is for sure, Rafael Nadal always had a big psychological advantage against Roger Federer. And today was no different. Nadal won a tough 4 setter against Federer to extend his H2H 18-9. I have been a Federer fan for last 6 years. And to see him on the down roll after playing such vintage tennis throughout the tournament was heartbreaking. [Read More]

Murray’s neck – surely to have it’s own entry in the Oxford English dictionary soon (“Doctor doctor, I’ve got this pain in my neck” “Looks like Murray neck to me sonny”); Djokovic’s leg; Nadal’s shoulder and leg; only the grand old master Federer seems injury free at this nascent stage of the 2012 season.

The Federer Effect XII – “The Good the Bad and the Ugly”

THE GOOD: After a week of waiting for the mail everyday with Christmas-like anticipation, I get a text from my UPS store, “you have a package” I’m pretty sure it’s finally arrived and I’m right, my new Nike RF Jacket–all new material and freshly designed.
