Cincinnati Masters 2009

Roger Federer in action

Roger Federer has once again live up to his billing as the World Number 1 to reach the Cincinnati Masters final after defeating newly crowned World Number 2, Andy Murray. He will face Novak Djokovic, who had brilliantly overcome his fear of facing top players, beating Rafael Nadal in straight sets. This sets up a final date with the World Number 1. Rafael Nadal is only playing his second tournament after recovering from injury since last May 2009.

Hail the great Federer again. Federer broke his 4-times losing streaks against Murray before going into the semi-final match up.

Game on! Roger Federer vs. Novak Djokovic

Wimbledon 2009

Hi guys and gals, the Wimbledon Open 2009 begins today! Rafael Nadal drop a bombshell saying that he won't be defending his title this year due to injury to his knee. Roger Federer will have his chance to claw back to the top of the ATP rankings. Local favourite, Andy Murray will also seek this opportunity to win his first major and also the first Britist man to win the Wimbledon crown since Fred Perry. It is an uphill task for Murray still as he could meet Roger Federer in the final. It would be an interesting match to watch after an epic final in last year's Wimbledon.

Roger Federer is ready to roar!

Great week ahead. Hope to see surprises here in the Wimbledon!

Astonishing - Soderling, Dethroned - Nadal

Gone in the wind!

Well done Soderling! You have done us good! Nadal is unstoppable before but now he is STOPPED! The World Number 1, Rafael Nadal has been beaten by Swedish Robin Soderling. The result was 6-2, 6-7, 6-4, 7-6. Great match!

Now, Federer has the chance to clinch his first French Grand Slam which the only one eluded from his trophy cabinet!

More agony! Adios!

Roland Garros - Day 2 (25/5/2009)

The usual suspects, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer won their respective matches. It was an initial difficult route for Nadal as his opponent, Marcos Daniel gave him a tough time in his first set. At the end, it was Nadal's win by 7-5, 6-4, 6-3.

Spotting a pink outfit?

Roger Federer won his match by 6-4, 6-3, 6-2 against Alberto Martin from Spain. He will meet Argentine Jose Acasuso in the next round.

Running for the ball!

For the women's, Ana Ivanovic did not play today but her next opponent is from Thailand, Tamarine Tanasugarn. Interesting! :D

Roland Garros 2009

Roland Garros 2009 is back in Paris. Will Nadal go on to win again? Will Federer be ending his barren run here? The only Grand Slam eluded from his glorious career and 1 more to match the great Pete Sampras. A week ago, Federer reduces the odd to win against Nadal on clay by beating Nadal at the Madrid Masters (Clay court). Does this mean Nadal is going weaker? (I hope so) Anyways, Federer is my bet to clinch the Roland Garros this year!

Federer in action!

Nadal with his forceful forehand return!

Great rivalries between 2 great champions!

The Roland Garros starts on the 24th of May till the Final on the 7th of June 2009. Looking forward to the finals.

Anyways, Ana Ivanovic is hot!

Ooh La La!

Federer v. Nadal - Madrid Masters

Federer vs. Nadal

Showdown of the top 2 players in the world. Yesterday, Nadal hard-fought to win the match against Djokovic. Thrilling match which lasted for more than 4 hours. Sad for Djokovic but it was an undeserving win for Nadal. Home ground (Madrid though he's born in Majorca). Anyways, clay king vs the great Federer today, would it be Federer's shot to kill off Nadal's clay streak?

Federer a.k.a. FedEx

Nadal

Nadal has been playing and 3 consecutive titles in the bag. HE is no doubt tired. But his physical fitness is awesome. Shots after shots, he's like beyond god like. Today, I hope for Federer's greatness to surpress the clay champion of the world!
