Roger Federer just destroyed Stanislas Wawrinka (what a SHOCK!) in straight sets in the fourth round of the French Open.
RAVAGE ME!
Now what? Now he gets to play ROBIN SODERLING of all people. The same Robin Soderling whom he has owned at three of the last four Grand Slams and in 12 of 12 career [...]

“At the moment, I don’t see anybody beating Rafa in Paris. If Nadal is to win Wimbledon, I believe he has to win the French Open. If he loses in Paris, he is not going to be so much of a threat to Federer on grass. But if he [...]

“She’s got a lot of crap for it, but it makes tennis interesting. You can’t say it’s OK for Maria Sharapova but it’s not OK for Venus. I think it’s great. If you see two blonde-haired girls wearing the same outfits, it’s really hard for the fans to tell them apart.” -Bethanie Mattek-Sands defends “The [...]

Yesterday, our esteemed reporter Kelli DeMario sniffed out a blog post by Pete Bodo in which he suggested that Dinara Safina’s problems on the court stem from the fact that she gobbles down cake and cookies.
