US Open 2011: Federer vs Djokovic
It couldn’t get more exciting than this — the greatest of all time (GOAT) against the greatest at the moment. The last time these two met was at the semifinals of the French Open and the GOAT won, giving Djokovic his first of only two losses this year. If Federer wins, he will have a…
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…
Gaora is for Tennis
For tennis enthusiasts in Japan, Gaora is the channel for you! As I write this entry, they are playing a rerun of the Sampras-Federer Macau Exhibition 2007. This was the third of a series of exhibition games in Asia and too bad I already know the outcome — Sampras will win this one. Here is…

That was when I got rid of my cheap-ass Daiei shoes and super-sale beginner’s racket to buy…
If Federer Beats Nadal to Win Roland Garros…
I believe it will surpass his 2001 Wimbledon victory over Pete Sampras as his career’s most cherished victory. During their 2001 encounter, neither Federer nor Sampras was at their prime. Federer hasn’t peaked yet while Sampras is past his peak. It was a mere transfer of power from one aging tennis great to a younger…
Nang Dahil sa Tennis
Nang dahil sa tennis, nanatili ang aking timbang sa 65 kilo kahit na malakas pa rin akong kumain. Bago ako nagsimulang mag-tennis, umiikot ang timbang ko sa 70 hanggang 75 kilo. Sa aking taas na 171 cm, malapit na ang 65 sa aking computed ideal weight na 64 kilo. Nang dahil sa tennis, dumami ang…
Singles at Doubles
Sakto isang taon mula ngayon ay sumali ako sa Tennis Club nang aking kumpanya. Ngayon, adik na adik na ko sa Tennis at hindi ko na ma-imagine ang buhay ko kapag walang Tennis. Kahit nasa bahay lang ako, lagi kong pina-praktis ang mga strokes ko. Nagbabasa ako nang mga magasin at ginagaya ko ang mga…
