I’m still writing exams but Murray won Vienna last week as expected while Cilic won Basel, defeating Tsonga and Nishikori in the finals respectively. Murray also had a walkover in the semis against Ferrer which is good fortune for him as his freshness will be a big question this week in Paris in his bid to overtake Djokovic in the rankings. He’s got ...

Nadal Wins Barcelona: Is He Back? April 26, 2016. April 27, 2016. Hi, folks. I hope you are all doing very well.

Of course, his fans will claim that is another sign that he is back. But what does that even mean? That Nadal is going to start winning slams again? When is he back? When he wins the French Open? Of course, it will! So we will see how it goes ...

Djokovic Continues to Struggle as the Tennis Season Winds Down. October 19, 2016. October 19, 2016. Hi, folks. Sorry for the lack of posts recently. I have been writing exams so it’s been a bit crazy around here. I did, however, follow Shanghai which Murray won and where Djokovic lost 6-4, 6-4 in the semis to Bautista Agut.
