FUN TIMES AT WIMBLEDON: ROGER FEDERER INTO THE FINAL

FUN TIMES AT WIMBLEDON: ROGER FEDERER INTO THE FINAL

Yeah. . .it’s all fun and games until someone gets hurt! Today at Wimbledon, it was Tommy Haas feeling the pain of defeat as Roger Federer trounced him in the semifinals in three sets: 7-6, 7-5, 6-3. Not that he seemed too distraught about it: Q. Can you sum up your whole Wimbledon experience. It’s been [...]

WIMBLEDON SURPRISE: ANDY RODDICK UPSETS MURRAY, CREDITS WIFEY

Was anyone else surprised when Andy Roddick upset Andy “Mound” Murray in today’s Wimbledon semifinals: 6-4, 4-6, 7-6, 7-6? I, along with 99% of ex Henman-fanatics, certainly was. But at least one person wasn’t: Roddick’s wife, Brooklyn Decker. Roddick talked to the press after his big win about the role his new wife has played in helping [...]

WIMBLEDON MEN’S SEMIFINALS: PREVIEW, HOPE TO VIEW

The final Friday at Wimbledon. The Gentlemen’s Semifinals. Yep, this is the stuff. First up we have the Grass Court King vs. a resurgent veteran who is playing the tennis of his life (see Federer vs. Haas, Rd. of 16, 2009 Roland Garros.) Head to head: 9-2, Roger. I’m not picking a winner due to extreme [...]

Serena and Elena battled it out in a riveting semifinal match today, with Serena eventually coming back from match point down in the third: 6-7 (4), 7-5, 8-6. Elena enjoyed the experience, even though she squandered that match point opportunity: Q. Do you [...]

CAUGHT ON TAPE: ELENA DEMENTIEVA CAN SERVE

CAUGHT ON TAPE: ELENA DEMENTIEVA CAN SERVE

02 July 2009

I’m still catching up on today’s fantastic ladies’ Wimbledon semi-finals (you know there’s a good match waiting on the DVR when non-tennis fans are leaving “Wow!” emails in your inbox.) Elena Dementieva has always had great ground strokes and a solid return game, but suddenly the gal’s got serve. She was averaging a higher second [...]

TENNIS FANS UNITE! TELL NBC THAT WIMBLEDON TAPE DELAY IS NOT OKAY

TENNIS FANS UNITE! TELL NBC THAT WIMBLEDON TAPE DELAY IS NOT OKAY

01 July 2009

We’re mad as hell, aren’t we American tennis fans? NBC’s tape delayed “protections” have ruined the second week of Wimbledon – slicing and dicing the coverage in a thoroughly discombobulating matter. And you East Coasters have it good – on the West Coast, we’re stuck with a three hour window between 7am and 10am when [...]

WIMBLEDON MENS QUARTERFINALS WRAP: DISASTERS, TOUGH BREAKS AND PANDYMONIUM

01 July 2009

I missed the Roddick vs. Hewitt thiller! Why? Because NBC’s “protected” tape-delayed coverage messes up everything here in the Western time zone, and it makes hunting for tennis on t.v. akin to wandering the Sahara without a map. NBC’s live streaming option may be too little, too late, but it beats drinking my own pee. [...]

“New Yorkers love it when you spill your guts out there. You spill your guts out at Wimbledon, and they make you stop and clean it up.” – Jimmy Connors. It’s gut-check time for Roger Federer and the rest of Wimbledon’s “Gentlemen” as they battle it out in the quarterfinals on Wednesday. Who’s bringing [...]

VIDEO QUIZ: ARE YOU A VENUS OR A SERENA?

30 June 2009

As we move closer to the potential Williams vs. Williams final, it’s time to take sides: are you rooting for Venus or Serena? I know, it’s hard to choose. Maybe this video will help: Money quote: “One dates golfers, the other dates rappers.” WTF? quote: “Venus is like grass court, steady and calm.” My pick: I’m going for [...]

WIMBLEDON LADIES DAY WRAP: WILLIAMS SISTERS MOW THE FIELD

WIMBLEDON LADIES DAY WRAP: WILLIAMS SISTERS MOW THE FIELD

30 June 2009

I dived into predictions for the ladies quarterfinals. My theories about Lisicki continuing her winning streak and Schiavone being the Russian’s krytonite were bunk. The only thing I got right was “don’t bet against a Williams.” Which is hardly an inside tennis prediction. Random comparison: Safina hit 15 double faults in the Wimbledon quarterfinals and still [...]

WIMBLEDON TEAR JERKER: ANDY MURRAY’S HOMETOWN HOPEFUL

29 June 2009

This ESPN feature on Andy Murray’s hometown of Dunblane, Scotland, and its tragic history brought tears to my eyes. Darren Cahill’s, too – he was all choked up in the studio after this aired. It puts Murray Mania into perspective: “He’s got to win, and he will.” Sums up the general feeling on Center Court, doesn’t it? Andy [...]

I’m not going to dwell on how frustrating it was to watch tennis today in Los Angeles. I basically had a 6 hour period where, thanks to time zones and match “embargoes,” there was no live tennis on t.v. – on the biggest tennis day of the year. Makes sense, right? Moving on: [...]

Roger Federer beat big-serving Robin Soderling in three tight sets today: 6-4, 7-6, 7-6. It was good practice for his quarterfinal against Ivo “Ace Machine” Karlovic, who beat Fernando Verdasco today in four. Federer chatted with the BBC after the match. Roger says he’s happy that his pregnant wife is not being a pain in the [...]

Roger Federer talks with John McEnroe about the pressures of Roland Garros, Rafael Nadal’s withdrawal from Wimbledon and how he felt when Mirka waved the pee stick. Love the look on Roger’s face when he talks about those first few days of fatherhood.
