Masters Cup

12 11 2008

Murray is on fire, beating both Roddick and Simon to ensure he gets into the next round of the event.  THe question remains as to whether he can beat Federer for the second time in a row – its going to be close.  My moneys on a Murray win.

Can Murray win the event?  Yes without a doubt he can.  However the question is will he win and this is a different matter completely. My opinion = yes





Murray the Master In Madrid

24 10 2008

Murray wins again.  Murray claimed victory in the Madrid Masters after beating Federer in previous round.  Murray is now ranked 4 in the world – yet still thinks Henman was a better player.  I think Murray should just admit he is miles better than Henman ever was (only down side is that Murray is Scottish).





Can Murray go all the way?

7 09 2008

Murray just played his best ever match in beat Nadal in the US Open semi final.  Murray mow becomes the first brit since 1997 to reach the US open final.  THe one player that now stands in his way is Federer.  The final could be onpen of the greatest matches in a long time with Federer fighting to regain his world no1 spot and Murray fighting for his 1st grand salm title.

Who’s going to win? Well in my opinion it could go either way, if Murray plays like he did against Nadal then the match should be his, you also have to take in to account the form of Federer so far this year hasnt been great for Roger so tis really is his chance to really shine for the fisrt time this year!  My moneys on Murray.

Lets just hope for a 5 set thriller





All things print

12 08 2008

Last week I was trying to print some of my own quality business cards and flyers, I thought what better way to get cheap flyers than to print them myself.  I was soooo wrong though the effort required to print something that looked half decent was huge.  In the end I just decided that I didn’t have the right equipment to print at the desired quality.  I am still deciding as to whether I should purchase a new printer or get them professionally printed, either way I don’t think I am going to be able to carry out the printing all that cheaply.





McCarthy Park and The Midnight Horns – Live in London

20 07 2008

This November McCarthy Park and The Midnight Horns will be playing Live in London.  This event is being organised by Grosvenor Tennis Club.  Tickets for this event will be £12.00.  This is an event not to be missed.  The night will also feature the very talented Sarah Lindsey and James Litherland.  This will no doubt be an event with loads of great music, laughs and no doubt a fair few pints.

Whilst thinking about why not also consider this an opportunity to play tennis in London, Grosvenor Tennis club is a friendly club with some great opportunities for all standards.





Tennis in London

16 07 2008

Now that Wimbledon has is over the nation as a whole will see a dip in the amount of tennis being played, however the biggest drop will be experienced in London.  The main reason for this drop in tennis in london is purely down to tennis being taken out of the public eye!  The benefits of this is that it frees up court time for the more experienced players.





Well Done Murray

11 07 2008

Just a quick post to say how well Andy Murray played at Wimbledon this year.  Most people wrote Murray off before the tournament started.  If we exclude the final the Murray Vs Gasquet match was the match of the tournament without any doubt!

Lets just hope that Murray continues on from his good performance at Wimbledon and go on and have a great end of year, resulting in a deserved place at the end of year masters series event.





Wimbledon Final

11 07 2008

What a great Wimbledon final, needless to say Federer should have won with all the chances that he was handed on a plate.  however you have to hand it to Nadal, when Federer had a bad service game which he did, once in each set Nadal took his chance without hesitation.

It goes without saying that the press attention surrounding Nadal over the coming weeks is going to be huge since he just won the most important and respected tennis grand slam event of the year!  You will no doubt see Nadal appearing on TV, in posters on business cards and on all forms of leaflet printing and flyer printing.

Is Nadal going to continue with this form?  Yes, However the loss suffered by Federer in my opinion is going to spur him on to come back better than ever!  My prediction is that Federer will go on to win the US open and the end of year masters event.

Only time will tell!





Tennis and Promotion

2 07 2008

In recent times, tennis has taken to promoting itself in a strong way, not only on the tv and in the press, but with the use of leaflets, flyers and business cards.  It’s really amasing what kind of promotional item come through my letterbox for tennis.  Not only that, whilst I was walking arround London last week I got handed a leaflet and some business cards by the same advertiser trying to get me to go to some great offer they had in their store around the corner.  It’s really strange how much of a push tennis is taking recently, you only have to walk down to Wimbledon and you get loads of free gifts and advertising given to you – will it continue – Yes, without doubt





Andy Murray Wimbledon 2008

2 07 2008

I just wanted to say how well Andy Murray played against Gasquet on Monday night at Wimbledon, what a fantastic match.  My original prediction was that Murray would go out in the quater finals, however I really hope I’m wrong and that he puts up a great show against Nadal.  If he gets past Nadal who knows what could happen.  Andy would certainly be a great contender to give Federer a run for his money!
