Gaston Gaudio?
(Preview)
What happened to him? Was one of the top five clay players till 2005, but something went wrong from there on. Now he loses almost every match he plays - he even managed to get bagelled by Gilles Muller on Rebound Ace! He is yet to win a match this year and after the latest disater he went on to say - "I was...

ATP Rotterdam
(Preview)
Have been watching quite a bit of this over the last few days... Saw Thiemo De Bakker in action against Ljubicic yesterday. I was impressed, he's definately got the game to be top 100. Can hit big shots off both sides, especially the forehand and he works the points really well. Not afraid to come i...

ATP introduces green clay event
(Preview)
The ATP Houston event this year will be held on green clay, first ATP event to be held on the surface. It's to cut costs. Green clay is made from crushed stone and is a tiny bit faster than the red stuff and has a more uniform bounce.

So another incredible performance from Federer, dispatching Roddick 6-4, 6-0, 6-2. After their previous 3 matches in the USO final, Masters cup and Kooyong I thought it would be really close, maybe even a 5 set classic especially given how Roddick won in Kooyong on exactly the same surface.
