Tags: | |
Filed Under:
The final ATP Masters 1000 event is over. The faster and slicker court at Palais Omnisports in Bercy produced some stunning upsets and great matches were on display, which includes the drama. Now that players a left Paris by displaying great tennis, they are heading into London for the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, the conclusion of ATP 2010 season.

With the absence of Rafael Nadal, defending champion and No.2 seed Novak Djokovic was on the course of strong showing in Bercy after he failed to defend his title in Basel. But the No.2 seed wasn't able to sustain such kind of performance in Basel as he was stunned by local talent Michael Llodra in front of his home supporters.

Having said that, the BNP Paribas Masters title was handled by different hands since 1972. Only Arthur Ashe able to defend the Paris title, winning it in back-to-back years, 1970-1971. Former world No.1s, Boris Becker and Marat Safin won this event three times. Did I predicted it right? My pick for BNP Paribas Masters Champion.

Rafael Nadal: The Undisputed World Number One

Tags: | | | |
Filed Under:
It's time.

Rafael Nadal's convincing win at All-England Club gave him second Wimbledon title in four consecutive finals. With a flawless display of speed, blistering and curling forehand, sweet volley, and improved serve turned in a weapon, Nadal is ready to dominate the game again.

Having claiming fifth French Open crown and the top ranking he once held for almost a year, he bounce back — stronger, faster, and healthier.

He started to dominate in 2008 but was halted almost prematurely due to injury. From being stunned at his favorite surface at Roland Garros to not defending his crown at All-England Club to personal concerns, Nadal faces the down side of his great tennis career.

This is Nadal's court, so how will other players get a fair share and a shot for a title in this event? Will Djokovic be able to solve the Nadal's puzzle? How about from the little-bit-slumping-lately Murray, will he be able to find his feet on clay?
