So far Roger had to cope with nice "tennis enemies" such as Rafa, Nole and Andy. Now the Swiss Maestro has to face a curious (but nasty) opponent. What happened? A weird guy named 'Blue Cat Polytheistic Religion Founder 07' (he could have used a...

Maria is well known to be super hot, incredibly strong and very noisy! Once it has been measured that her grunts get higher than 100 decibels (something comparable to a chain saw, a pneumatic drill or a passing by train) During this year we had...

Great changes ahead! Like in many other sports, also in tennis there always have been two philosophies: the conservative and the innovative one.  The innovators are now taking the lead.

And again... another controversy among women. Interesting enough Ana Ivanovic was quite sincere about the fact that there is too much tension in the ladies locker room due to too much personal competitiveness (see article here). Apparenlty Radwanska was talking about Azarenka hobbling and wincing between...
