Best Tennis Match Ever

Today, I just saw the BEST tennis match I have ever seen! Ever! Congratulations to Rafael NADAL for winning Wimbledon 2008! I think he deserved to win even if I was rooting for Roger FEDERER the whole time. Both played amazingly near-perfect tennis for the whole duration of the match, which could possibly be the…

61 63 60

That’s the score I saw this morning when I checked to see if Federer finally defeated Nadal at the French Open. Sadness. I feel for Federer. He has never lost like this before. This is the person I look up to. This is the person I try to emulate in my tennis. This is the…

Feel It

This is the new ATP ad as part of it’s FEEL IT campaign. So cool!

My Tennis Profile

These past few weeks, I think I’m experiencing my Second Renaissance… in Tennis. First Renaissance The First Renaissance happened when I was in Kagoshima… when I graduated from being a casual play-once-in-a-while player into a play-eight-hours-a-week tennis addict. That was when I got rid of my cheap-ass Daiei shoes and super-sale beginner’s racket to buy…
