I don't agree with comparing players. They have different strengths and weaknesses, and the reasons why they struggle are entirely different. I think a number of young players are more talented than sharapova, but I think she has matured early because there's a lot less of her game that has to be re...

I am NOT happy with her progress. first the spineless losses like the ones to Pin. Then the same patterns in the losses.how many times does she lose at the final hurdle after coming back ? how many times does she keep dropping serve at crucial times? i doubt these things would happen as repeatedly ...

What a feckless performance by India today. It is absolutely disgraceful that India have been beaten so comprehensively by one of the weakest sides in the world . Greg Chappell's so-called improvements have been proven to be utterly empty on their first proper test outside the sub-continent, and he...

Disgraceful loss. I am really beginning to wonder if her fearlessness and boldness is more shallower than i first thought. I am also wondering whether she dedicates herself to mastery of her craft .Or she just tries to be 'professional'. for one whole year we have to put with the same pattern. I do...

On clay, the serve is not that important. Besides the serve is a lot better, and not the liability it was. Its the unforced, and more importantly the forced errors as usual. There would have been even more than usual on clay. I don't see her doing much on clay for a year or so. She is not helped by ...

Henin, Mauresmo, Petrova, Kuznetsova, Schnyder, Clijsters can all beat hingis. Winning the French Open is still a big ask for her. Her serve and forehand sit up short on clay. She couldn't win the French when she as at her peak against the likes of ASV, a past-her-prime Graf, and seles, and now its ...

Krajicek is not a serve and volleyer. She is a baseliner, but she is not completely averse to finishing points at the net. She has a good serve, but its not as good as someone like Stosur for example. But Krajicek has been serving so poorly lately, i'd actually give sania the edge in the serve depar...

I suggest a new way of thinking for you. Just keep the quality of the games in mind. High quality players usually get even occasional good results even in their weaker surfaces. Sampras has beaten Brugera and courier and has reached and Q and SF in RG, not to mention winning at rome .But his standa...

sure, he had his revenge. He thrashed Baghdatis after losing the first set 3-6, 6-1, 6-2. Had told you guys earlier, Baghy is no good other than carpet and rebound ace. you want to advertise your never tiring attempts to make a fool out of yourself? LOL! Actually Nate has a point. I don't think tha...

I'm just noting some of the cheap-shots: cheapshot # 1 (before the MC final) - 'Nadal is a one dimentional'. This is totally untrue. There are multiple dimentions to Nadal's game than just his defense (read Matt Cronin's piece again). If Federer hasn't figured that out yet (which I doubt) then he w...

Media has made this a classy facade for Federer and given him a lot of lee-way, ignored his trash talk on more occassions than others'. A lot of people have bought into this spin, as evident from the responses here. I don't consider Federer bad because of his unclassy comments. I just don't like pe...

Federer is the unclassiest of the losers out there or the dumbest if he hasn't yet figured out the one dimentional lefty scrambler who's a great shotmaker too. Well, I just spelled more than one dimention right here. With that trash-talk against Nadal, Fed is putting himself under additional unwant...

True. Taking him to two tiebreaks is good. I still can't see him winning the french this year, or in the near future. Maybe in a couple of years, as nadal can't sustain this level for too long. Federer was on the back foot throughout the match, and nearly got bagelled. How does he sustain his moment...

Lamb to the slaughter. 70 unforced errors
No surpise to see nadal win in four. He should have won in straight sets.
Roger isn't going to win the calendar slam unless someone else knocks nadal out early.

How is india better than australia on paper? You can't say that Australia have no top level talent. They have one of the best doubles teams in Fed Cup (Stubbs is excellent), and Stosur is capable of top 20 tennis. Huge serve, and athleticism, but not too consistent as yet. She's not bad at the net e...
