US Open 2010 – Roger Federer Hits Sick Shot Between His Legs…Again
Posted on31. Aug, 2010 by bbryan.
There’s not much else you can say about Roger Federer. He’s already the most accomplished tennis player in modern history. He just keeps adding to his legacy with shots like this. He’s said he wants to get to 20 major titles, which is a stretch. However a win for a championship against Nadal would cement [...]

Rafa & Fed, or the Field?
Posted on30. Aug, 2010 by 3D.
Today marks the beginning of the end to the tennis season as the 2010 US Open gets underway. Here’s your women’s preview: Serena Williams withdrew from the event with an injury so I don’t care to watch (In case you didn’t hear how Serena was injured, she cut her foot on a piece of glass [...]

Andy Roddick loses at Wimbledon in 5 Sets
Posted on28. Jun, 2010 by 3D.
Yen-Hsun Lu dropped Andy Roddick at Wimbledon today, a fairly stunning upset considering I thought Roddick was locked into a semifinal match against Roger Federer. Roddick wasn’t broke on serve in the entire match until he served at 7-8 in the 5th set. He lost tiebreaks in the 2nd and 3rd set, and barely won the [...]

Isner over Mahut in Longest Tennis Match Ever
Posted on24. Jun, 2010 by 3D.
Finally it ended – John Isner takes out Nicolas Mahut 70-68 in the final set. It’s a match I’ll never forget as a tennis fan, but one I hope I never see and hope nobody ever has to play again. They can honor these two by naming a special rule called the ‘Masner’ or ‘Ishut” [...]

John Isner and Nicolas Mahut Playing Record Setting Wimbledon Match
Posted on23. Jun, 2010 by 3D.
59 all, play suspended again. I feel bad for these guys. At some point you have to have a winner. This is like a 60 inning long baseball game. The length of the 5th set is double what a normal match is.Â

James Blake Calls ESPN’s Pam Shriver An Ass During His Match At Wimbledon
Posted on22. Jun, 2010 by bbryan.
James Blake could over-hear ESPN’s Pam Shriver criticizing him during the telecast and he was none to happy about it. After yanking a “sitter” forehand Shriver questioned his focus. Blake yelled up at her that “I can hear you, it’s amazing you played tennis.” Instead of letting the issue go like a professional would, Pam [...]

Roger Federer Nearly Loses in the First Round at Wimbledon
Posted on21. Jun, 2010 by 3D.
No question this would have been the worst loss of his career. Fed had to come back from 2 sets down and win a 4th set tie break to avoid losing in the first round at Wimbledon – to a nobody nonetheless. Alejandro Falla had never won more than one match in 5 tries at Wimbledon.  [...]

Fed’s Epic Semifinal Streak & Serena’s Double Grand Slam Hopes Are Done
Posted on02. Jun, 2010 by 3D.
The arrival of the quarterfinal round at the French Open meant the end of the road for the men’s and women’s #1 seeds. Both actually had more meaning than just that, however. Robin Soderling notched his second streak-ending upset in as many years at the French by dumping Roger Federer in 4 sets. Fed’s 23 straight [...]

French Open 2010 Preview (I Don’t Really Care Either)
Posted on23. May, 2010 by 3D.
I am too big a tennis fan not to write something on one of the 4 grand slam tournaments, even though I believe since nobody really pays any attention to the French Open, there should only be 3 majors in tennis. But I digress, enjoy the preview. Picking the men’s champion is easy. It’s Rafa, [...]

Fed Is Epic
Posted on31. Jan, 2010 by 3D.
What a performance. Fed ran right through Murray, who seemed scared shitless for the second time in a major final. Fed smelled blood and jumped all over the Brit. But Murray got the best of Fed in the championship ceremony as he threw a jab at Roger for crying at last year’s ceremony. Gotta love it [...]
