When Andy Murray and Kei Nishikori face off this weekend, watched by TV millions, it’ll be easy to forget where the party started. First there were just two nations in the mix.

Australian Open Men’s Final: Super Six! Djokovic Reigns Supreme

January 31, 2016
Novak Djokovic knelt down and kissed the court on Rod Laver Arena, after winning his sixth Australian Open, to match the great Roy Emerson’s record, and join the legendary Rod Laver and Bjorn Borg on eleven Grand Slam titles. It is an incredible achievement from a man who has taken tennis to a new level, so high that even […]

January 30, 2016
Has there ever been a shock quite like it? Angelique Kerber may have been seeded but she was also given no hope against arguably the greatest there has ever been. Yet it was the German who stunned tennis and humbled Serena Williams with a scarcely-believable performance and a fully-merited 6-4, 3-6, 6-4 victory in […]

Locker Room
January 29, 2016
Andy Murray’s amazing fighting spirit and ability to focus brought him through a five-set epic against Milos Raonic, the climax only spoilt by an injury to the big Canadian. Had the Scot’s stubborn streak not kicked in, however, he would not have been able to remain in the contest until the younger man’s body […]

It has been a tour of mixed emotions so far, playing some really good tennis and acclimatising well. I have just finished my final warm up tournament, the Melbourne Open, eventually losing to the World No. 4, Sabine Ellerbrock in the Quarter Finals. A 6-3, 6-1 scoreline is deceptively emphatic, however the match was a […]

You had to see this to believe it. Even Roger Federer in his prime would have struggled to cope with such relentless, ruthless precision from an opponent in the opening two sets. How does Novak Djokovic do it? Whatever the answer is, tennis seems to have found a man more excellent than any before, someone […]
Australian Open Day 10: Murray To Face Raonic
Locker Room
January 27, 2016
Andy Murray’s on-court tantrums don’t always work in his favour – often quite the reverse. But it was a different story during his gutsy victory over David Ferrer in their Australian Open quarter-final, 6-3, 6-7 (5-7), 6-2, 6-3. If ever there was a sportsman who needed to release some tension and frustration, it was the […]
Australian Open Day 9: Fantastic Federer To Face Djokovic
Locker Room
January 26, 2016
The incredible Roger Federer just keeps producing a quality of tennis that proves too much for most younger men. He knows he has to play aggressively, because he can’t afford to drop sets and slip into marathon contests at the age of 34 – not if he is to remain fresh enough to compete genuinely […]

Locker Room
January 25, 2016
Milos Raonic has knocked out 2014 Australian Open winner Stan Wawrinka in a five-set thriller in Melbourne, making a mockery of his odds at the start of the tournament. It was the first time in five tries that Raonic had beaten Wawrinka – and he was clearly delighted afterwards. GOALS ‘This is the next step […]
