Just my thoughts!

Roger Federer won his 900th ATP tour match on thursday at the Stockholm Open and I would be very surprised if he hasn’t won his 1000th match before the end of 2012.Not only is he winning matches,he’s actually a better player right now than ever before.Hiring Paul Annacone as his coach was nessecary to try […]

Who’s the favorite?

Robin Soderling-Tomas Berdych,this is like a videogame.There really is no gameplan here,just hit the ball “better”than your opponent.Soderling has the “edge”,fasten your seatbelts!!

Playing like the guys!

French Open Day 3

Wow what a day….. Being woken by Mats is now becoming routine. We woke to take an hour long cab ride to the Lacoste shop in Paris where any one with a contract picks up the new gear. What a different world that is! After an hour of watching Mats gather a new wardrobe, we […]
