Bali-hoo for WTA Tour Season-ending Championships: The Biggest Losers

There’s a method to the seeming madness in the WTA Tour announcing a second season-ending tournament to start in 2009 in Bali, Indonesia.

Tennis Notes: WTA Power Index, Federer vs Bryan Brothers

POWER CONTEST: Does anyone besides me enjoy watching women’s pro matches where players know how to slice, volley, dropshot, change the pace up on opponents and construct a point, rather than just whaling away from the baseline hoping to hit the first winner?

Sneak Peek: 2009 Pro Tennis Calendar

An unintended consequence of my last post is that it brought on an important discussion around the proposed calendar changes for both Tours. I laid out each Tour’s proposals in one handy document which can be viewed here.
This calendar is based on best-known info and I will be updating this document as more information becomes […]

Lawsuits, Suspensions, and Fines…Oh My!

Guillermo Canas’ second dramatic win over Roger Federer had nothing on the off-court action that took place in Miami. Professional tennis turned into a serial drama including a player petition, a storm-off during a meeting with the ATP Chair, one lawsuit being filed, and another threatened to be on the way.
Get the popcorn ready. This […]

Mixed Bag Monday

Happy Moanday X-fans. Time to talk Federer’s defeat, TTC’s coverage, the team approach to tennis, Serena’s new reality adventure, and the USTA’s newest accessory item.
Federer’s Loss: With the combined trifecta ejection of Federer, plus Marat Safin and Lleyton Hewitt yesterday, the Men’s draw got a little bit less interesting for some, but a whole lot […]

Sharapova Should Shine: Australian Women’s Preview

I know I don’t do it much, but what the heck, let’s give the women some love and talk women’s draw. Women are meant to be loved, so it’s only appropriate.

Making Sport of Election

Election season is upon us here in the States, and coupled with the circus of seemingly never-ending frustration regarding the oversight of tennis, I thought it might be fun for fans to hold our own little election — in the spirit of Idol and Dancing with the Stars, of course!
Election: Tennis Commissioner
Position Summary
Professional tennis has […]

Fixing Women’s Tennis, One Pothole at a Time

At its best, the women’s game can lay claim to a field of 8 players, each of whom are entirely capable of winning the Year-end Championships: Amelie Mauresmo, Justine Henin-Hardenne, Kim Clijsters, Maria Sharapova, Svetlana Kuznetsova, newly un-retired Martina Hingis, Nadia Petrova, and Elena Dementieva.
One would think that this kind of variation would lend itself […]

U.S. Out of Top 10; Roddick Rocks Cincy

If the latest WTA Rankings are correct it’s an historic week in women’s tennis. With Lindsay Davenport dropping from 10 to No. 11 in the Monday rankings leaving exactly ZERO American women in the Top 10 for what I think – and feel free to prove me wrong – for the first time in the history of the WTA Rankings, which go all the way back to November of 1975.

The Fed Ex-it

Big story this A.M. is the “shock” defeat of Roger Federer yesterday to Andy Murray at Cincy. I didn’t get the chance to see it live - hey, I’m working, okay? - but I caught the replay of the last set on ESPN after the Roddick match.

Fed clearly didn’t look like the Fed that we have known, and I wonder just how much the Swiss wanted to partake in Cincy. Fed added winning Toronto, Cincy back-to-back was next to impossible. Well Rog, Andy Roddick did it a few years ago if I remember correctly, so it’s not impossible. You just got to want it.
