Let’s talk about Kenny DeScheppers and other forgottens
10 Comments · Posted by Scoop Malinowski in Articles, Scoop
Kenny DeScheppers, lefty from France. He's into the fourth round at Wimbledon. That's all I can really say about him aside from seeing his name in Challenger draws and ATP agate results.
It happens in tennis that certain players pop up out of nowhere and then disappear again. Not saying Kenny DeScheppers will fade away to oblivion next week, who knows, after some of the results we've seen in the first week, maybe he can even win this tournament with that attacking lefty game.

Tomic Shines On Middle Saturday
14 Comments · Posted by Scoop Malinowski in Articles, Scoop
Bernard Tomic showed the high quality tennis today vs. Richard Gasquet, which make winning major titles or becoming ATP no. 1 reachable quests for the talented young Australian.
Tomic was always in control of the tight match, seemingly always winning the key points except for a hiccup late in the second set where he blew a 5-4 lead on Gasquet, only to lose the set.

Jerzy Janowicz is the new “Bad Boy” of tennis
23 Comments · Posted by Scoop Malinowski in Articles, Scoop
Tennis has been waiting a long time for a new badboy to come along and shake things up. Well, he's here now. Jerzy Janowicz is rocking the boat.
So far he's called Djokovic "a phony." He's gone viral on You Tube for his famous outburts at the Australian Open in the Devvarman match. He's been called "the most disliked player in the locker room." And that's just off the court.

Opinion: Rosol Changed The Game
27 Comments · Posted by Scoop Malinowski in Articles, Scoop
I believe the Rosol-Nadal match last year has changed tennis. In case you might have forgot, Lukasz Rosol came out of obscurity and astonishingly slayed Rafael Nadal in five sets with a magical display of power tennis at 2012 Wimbledon, second round.

The most illustrious and prestigious tennis tournament of the year has commenced.
Just saw Puerto Rico's teen Monica Puig knock off Sara Errani, she looks like a toughie. Keep seeing the name Puig in the results, rising slowly and steadily. Can you imagine a Grand Slam champion from Puerto Rico? Puig trains out of Miami.
Roger Federer just made a nifty volley to hold his opening serve vs. veteran Victor Hanescu. I read that quote this week from Vijay Armitraj, who says Federer is the modern personification of the classical tennis player. Continue to read full article...

Can Federer Break Connors Record Of 109 ATP Titles?
94 Comments · Posted by Scoop Malinowski in Scoop
Roger Federer won his first ATP title of the year yesterday in Halle, overcoming Mikhail Youzhny in three sets. For Federer it was his 77th overall singles title...seemingly a long way away from the ATP overall singles record of 109 by Jimmy Connors.
Federer, soon to turn 32, will need to win 33 more ATP events to surpass Connors historic mark. It may seem like an impossible goal for Federer, but if Connors could do it, why can't Federer?
