Novak Djokovic forced to his knees

Djokovic, the man who proved Nadal isn't some sort of inconceivable human straight out of a super hero comic, has dropped out of the Monte Carlo Masters due to a knee injury. Coming straight off an amazing and convincing performance against Nadal last Sunday in Miami, the top contender has proved that he is a serious threat in the tennis world and to see such a fairy tale story end in such sour fashion is a little heart breaking for the underdog. The undisclosed knee injury has meant that he will not be attending the Monte Carlo Masters, kinder making everyone feel like a promise has been broken and his momentum will come to a stand still.

Personally, I don't like seeing the same crowned champion controlling the number one title for too long, almost removes the nerves of watching a contender trying to beat the man himself. So to see Nadal beaten and proven he is not some super natural force gives me the hope that we may just see an upset and a new champion, as long as this injury isn't costly on the longevity of his career.

Stosur Crashed out in straights

Unfortunately this morning Samantha Stosur - the last remaining Aussie in the WTA Family Circle Cup crashed out in straights sets to unseeded Russian Elena Vesina.  Surprisingly, Sam who was the second seed & the defending champion of this cup, should have been able to win this game.

She has also voluntarily pulled out of next months Fed Cup. This therefore raises the question - will she be entirely prepared for the next up-and-coming French Open?? A grand slam in which she has the capabilities of doing so?

Dokic Sent Packing

Big upset for Australia as Dokic has lost in the first round of the WTA event in Charleston. She went home by losing to Georgian qualifier Anna Tatishvili 7-5, 2-6, 6-4. Im a bit disappointed, now only two Australian's are left in the draw leaving defending champion Samantha Stosur and Anastasia Rodionova to compete. To be honest i was expection more from Dokic.. Let's just hope that both Samantha Stosur and Anastasia Rodionova can do better in thier upcoming matches.

Djokovic defeats Nadal

The new world number 2 continues his perfect record in 2011, defeating world number 1 Rafael Nadal ... this is devasting because Rafa's the man.  He  defeated Nadal on Sunday in 3 straight sets, 4-6, 6-3, 7-6 (4).  After watching the match I was quite shocked that Djokovic sustained his incredible surge through the tennis ranks.  “It’s the best four months of my life,” he said. “This streak is incredible.” (Washington Post)

After winning the Australian Open, Dubai & now Miami can Wimbledon make him the world's number 1 tennis player???  Btw sorry couldn't post on Monday I was busy.
