Aussie Open Previews

have always been a fan of Rebound Ace. In my mind, the surface seemed to offer more classic, hard-fought battles than any other Grand Slam, year in, year out.

Murray Set to Challenge Federer for Australian Supremacy? Why Not

For a guy with so much at stake this year – the Olympics, Pete Sampras’s 14 Slams mark, the French Open - Roger Federer’s start to 2008 hasn’t exactly been ideal.

Philippoussis Loses, Should Still Receive Aussie Open Wildcard

It may be time for a re-think from Tennis Australia, which oversees the lowest event on the four-Slam totem pole behind the French, Wimbledon and the US Open.

ESPN+TTC: Tennis on TV Becomes More Like… Tennis

AO Diva Drama: The Women’s Final Preview

When two diva’s take to the court for the women’s final of this year’s Australian Open, fans should be provided with enough drama to last us until Roland Garros.
In this corner, weighing in at — dare I say — 135 lbs*, Ms. Serena Williams.
Serena’s move through the draw over the past two weeks has garnered [...]

Close Match? No Way: Federer Demolishes Roddick

Boy was I wrong on the Andy Roddick-Roger Federer tussle. I set the alarm extra early, and thanks to Roger I was only up an hour or so before I went back to sleep mid way thru the third set. After waking up not too long ago and seeing the final score, guess I didn’t miss much in the last few games.

Aussie Open: Live or Memorex?

Last week on Off the Baseline, I wrote up a quick post on the conundrum I encountered when trying to watch the Andy Roddick-Marat Safin match, aka the night match in Melbourne. Tonight, fans will endure the same punishments when Roddick meets world number one Roger Federer in the night match.
The basic premise of [...]

Serena, Young Guns Highlight Week One of Australian Open

As I watch Rafael Nadal polish off my boy, my runner-up pick, Andy Murray, thought I’d put together a few notes on the week in Australia we just saw (or didn’t see). By the way, this Murray-Nadal match is the best of the tournament thus far. Great tennis. Keyword being tennis.
1. Ivan Ljubicic
What a pitiful [...]
