17 Days...

Hey everyone and welcome to the beginning of the Slam season. My college season is over, along with my classes and that means I'm going to launch the blog again.
So, my last post was Feb. 8, and nothing has really changed since. Fed keeps losing (a lot it seems) and Rafa is in the clay season, which means that his opponents are struggling to win games against him.

Perhaps the most interesting storyline in tennis that is starting to develop is the battle for 2,3, and 4 in the world. Fed, Djokovic, and Murray are in a real dogfight for those positions, and are all close enough that a big result in a Slam can change it. As it is, Murray just took the 3 spot from Novak after Novak's loss to Rafa in Rome.

Murray hasn't had a great year on clay so far, but I'm looking for him to have a pretty big result in France. As for Novak, I think he has the best chance to beat Rafa at the French, and that's a zero percent chance (OK, 0.01%).

The question I have is, with 17 days to go until Roland Garros, are they even going to play the tournament, or are they going to give the trophy to Nadal now. He is arguably playing the best ever on clay right now, and after last year (or the past 4) is that possible?

Poor Fed...Fed's struggles continue. I mean he still is getting to semis for the most part, but every time he plays a top 5 guy, it seems like he is losing. I'm still going to stand strong and say that I am not going to write him off until he loses before the quarters in a Slam. The scary thing is that could be this year at the French.

Check the bottom of my blog for some more tennis news and scores.

I'll pick up this weeks tournaments, as usual, in the quarterfinals.

** I'm also excited to tell you guys about a new aspect to Tiebreak.

I've just made a Twitter account for the blog, which is going to focus mostly on the Slams. During the French, Wimbledon, and US Open, I'll be posting throughout the day live scores, thoughts, and more as I'm watching all the action.
Until the Slams, I'll post a thought or tip every once in a while.
