Henin's resumed career seems destined to bring her success and celebrations, but it isn't always so easy There's nothing in sport quite like a comeback. Not the kind of comeback that involves winning the Champions League from 3-0 down at half-time, or a finger-wagging final-frame surge at the World Snooker Championship final.

This timespan, coincidentally, mirrored tennis's rise...

For the last couple of years tennis fans in South East Asia were pretty much restricted to the Thailand Open held in Bangkok. In 2005, Vietnam did try to follow suit by hosting the Vietnam tennis Open, but that didn't really pick up as they failed to really attract big name tennis players to their event. The Thailand Open had been the only premier tennis event in South East Asia that has hosted the...

Tomorrow will mark the one-year anniversary of the Amphibious Sports Duo and perhaps it is fitting that the first post on our blog was about the epic 5 set match last year in the Wimbledon final between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. I labeled it the "Marathon Match" because the contest went 9-7 into the final set. The final yesterday between Roger and Andy Roddick ended 16-14 in the 5th...

Sampras himself thinks Federer has now surpassed...

After passing Pete Sampras’s record by winning his 15th grand slam tennis title, the question is being asked about whether Roger Federer can now be considered the greatest tennis player of all time. There are two serious contenders for this title - not considering the likes of John McEnroe or Bjorn Borg, who were not as [...]

As I'm sure you know by now, Roger Federer beat Andy Roddick in an epic five-set battle on Sunday to secure his 15th Grand Slam title, sixth Wimbledon and place in the record books, and Serena Williams beat Venus for her third Wimbledon, and 11th major. Afterward the men's final, the inimitable John McEnroe wasted no time in putting Pete Sampras, Bjorn Borg and Rod Laver on the spot to ask if Fed was...
