There is my point about the next coming major. I believe that Serena Williams has the biggest chance to win in London and Maria Sharapova is her only competition. No other tennis player on the womens side has a chance to win at Wimbledon. And now some thoughts concerning the mens draw. Four players have...

Carlos Berlocq - Gilles Simon Berlocq is obviously known for his clay court play, but he usualy fails when playing on the european courts. I don't really know what that happens, but his results this year clearly show it. Last week he didn't pla good tennis at all in Umag, where he advanced a pair of round...

Hello. I'm not the greatest at playing tennis. My serve is terrible and when I'm into the point I'm okay at keeping a rally going. I recently read about padel tennis and was drawn to the fact that it's really easy to pick up. Has anyone heard of the sport? If so, what are your thoughts? Worth giving a shot?...

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
