Federer Loss Signals a Changing of the Guard in Men’s Tennis

Posted by klownboy in tennis on January 25, 2013

Hey Big Al, this one is for you. Al is one of my college buddies from waaaaay back who has served as my main antagonist when it comes to Roger Federer’s legacy in tennis (check out his awesome comments on my last rant on Federer, and this one and this one). Al is a tennis […]

Serena Is Carrying Women’s Tennis

Posted by klownboy in sports blogging, tennis on September 10, 2012

Serena Williams rallied for a three-set victory over top-seeded and top-ranked Victoria Azarenka (who?) to win the U.S. Open.  If you’re scoring at home, that’s major title #15 for Williams. Could you imagine if Serena didn’t have outside interests that caused her to step away from tennis for a while about a decade ago? Williams […]

Roddick: a Victim of Circumstances

Posted by klownboy in sports blogging, tennis on September 5, 2012

Andy Roddick lost the last tennis game of his career earlier today to Juan Martin del Potro in four sets 6-7 (1), 7-6 (4), 6-2, 6-4.  He used the US Open as his swan song, partly because it is the site of his only major tournament title. Now the question we must ask of Roddick, […]

An Apology from Me to Federer

Posted by klownboy in sports blogging, tennis on July 8, 2012

I owe Roger Federer an apology. In beating Andy Murray 4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 6-4 to win his 7th Wimbledon title earlier today, Federer became the first player at least 30 years of age (he will be 31 next month) to win there since Arthur Ashe in 1975!  This was after many people (including yours truly) […]

Hey Federer Fans, Where Are You Now?

Posted by klownboy in sports blogging, tennis on January 26, 2012

Another major, another loss for Roger Federer. Federer lost in four sets to my man Rafael Nadal 6-7, 6-2, 7-6, 6-4 in an Australian Open semifinal on Thursday night.  As Federer was again dominated by an arch-rival, I have one thing to say… I am so, SO very sick and tired of the talk of […]

Novak Djokovic Is the New Sheriff in Town

Posted by klownboy in sports blogging, tennis on September 13, 2011

Novak Djokovic defeated my guy Rafael Nadal for the US Open title in four sets (6-2, 6-4, 6-7, 6-1) Monday afternoon. Not only did Djokovic beat Rafa, he dominated the hell out of him.  As the final score of the match indicates, Djokovic only had to break a sweat in the third set.  While Rafa […]

French Open Loss Proves Again that Federer Is not the Best Ever

Posted by klownboy in sports blogging, tennis on June 6, 2011

It’s 2011, another French Open final.  And yet again Rafael Nadal spanked Roger Federer to take home the title. As the saying goes, “brand new day, same ‘ol (spit)”. Sure it gave Nadal a record-tying sixth French Open title.  Sure it was Nadal’s 10th Grand Slam singles tournament title, leaving him only six behind Federer […]
