Everybody knows that success in tennis depends not only on its physical aspect, but also on the players psychological ability to compete. I am very grateful that Dr. Allen Fox will be cooperating with me on this blog. There is a excerpt from his new book Tennis. Winning the mental match. "Point...

Andy Roddick, who I saw play at Wimbledon last Summer, and thought perhaps was 'past his best', knocked out the 'in form' Federer last night in Miami in 3 sets. Brilliant result

The ITF site is undergoing a revamp, which can be seen at http://beta.itftennis.com/procircuit/home.aspx I was having a look at it yesterday evening and it hasa better look than the old site (which usually rings lots of warning bells about ease of use, but in fact it seems to run at about the same spe...

Apparently Rafa will be playing Halle in 2012 after the organisors offered him an appearance fee of roughy £750,000. The total prize money offered is only a little over £500,000. I really hope people remember this next time Rafa complains about having to play too much.

Apparently for 3 weeks, for shoving an umpire. But he could still play in the Aussie Open as it's not run by the ATP. Eh? Story here
