The 2009 Australian Open begins on January 19, the third week of the tennis season.

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Gilles Simon, Andy Roddick, Juan Martin Del Potro, and James Blake round out the Top 10.

Rod Laver Arena, named for the former Australian tennis great, will be the venue for the men’s title match on February 1, 2009. Nadal recently put an end to Federer’s 237-week reign as the No. 1 player in the world. The pinnacle of Nadal’s journey to the elusive top spot came last season at Wimbledon, where he defeated the Swiss in a five-set classic to end Federer’s run of five consecutive titles at the All-England Club. Nadal also won his fourth straight French Open crown …

Sampras epitomized that change. He forced the game to a new level. Then Federer arrived and was unbeatable for over 3 years. The game had to leap again and it did. It took time for coaches and players to realize that the same technology that gives power to the rackets has also increased the ability for accuracy and variety. The string manufacturers got into the game and before anyone had realized, players could do amazing things to a ball. I watched Federer hit a shot that must have curved 2 feet, intentionally. Anyone ever see Laver or Conners curve a ball? Now it seems that the court people have added their input and the courts have been slowed. No one, I guess, liked the banging that was going on, the type James Blake and Andy Roddick epitomize, one with groundstrokes and one with the serve. The new slower courts reward the player who can keep the ball alive and hit angles and spins. Of course, there are still players who continue in the old style, and they will win from time to ti …

He destroyed Fernando Gonzalez in the finals, 6-3,7-6, 6-3. “Nowhere in my best dreams I can imagine something like what I did this year,” Nadal said. “I know how difficult it is to win these things, and especially here, because you only have one chance every four years.” The gold medal was the first ever for Spain in Olympic tennis.When the Beijing Olympic Games opened in August 2008, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer were the contending odd-on favorites.However, Federer was eliminated by James Blake.Winning the Olympic title and reaching the world number-one ranking in singles, Rafael has have a good year in 2008. Rafael Nadal’s uncle, Miguel Angel Nada Homar, played three FIFA World Championships (Los Angeles 1994, Paris 1998, Seoul-Tokyo 2002). This Olympic champion was discovered by Antonio “Toni” Nadal Homar. Toni is his uncle. Under coach Toni Nadal’s tutelage, he has won several World titles. Rafael once said: “I think that having my uncle and coach with me has been the best …

But even despite his loss, Sampras was very happy to be back and expressed that all the memories he had from England were very nice and comforting for him. He stated that everything reminds him how good the British people were with him and all the victories he accomplished back in his glory days, in which he won the Wimbledon Grand Slam seven times in eight years. On this event, Sampras opened his participation against John McEnroe, whom he beat 6-3, 6-4. That gave Sampras confidence on his game again, especially with his 19 aces. However, that was not enough since he lost against Pioline on the semifinals. This was the first match that Pioline could win over Sampras in his whole career. This two amazing players have been always very competitive but Pioline had always a difficult time returning Sampras’ serve, although during this last match he did control it and that was the main reason why he got the victory. “I always had problems to return his serve,” said the Frenchman. “Suddenly …
