Happy New Year to all Hubbers. 2015 was a pretty diverse and eclectic year for IR. Straddling a very wide range - from the heavy and traditional Tharai to the contemporary and almost un-IR like (at...

By no means does IR lack recognition. If that appears to be the case currently, it is only because he is a yesteryear composer operating in a flavour-of-the-season game (which is what film music...

I think the tone has become more serious with Naan Kadavul and if the music is any indication, Thaarai Thappatai will follow suit. Sethu had the love track to begin with which gave IR more scope to...

My thoughts exactly. I don't blame IR for doing what was required of him by Bala but I don't think I can stomach more heavy melancholy. It's a pity that increasingly TFM only has scope for these...

Absolutely, worst slam final I have seen on the ATP in quite some time. Telling, that, considering this has usually been the most exciting rivalry in current tennis. The rain delay robbed both guys...

Exactly what I was thinking too. He's overthinking this milestone and like the 100th, it means next to nothing because he already has the record. And unfortunately he has no Srini mama to arrange an...

In other news, Vinci sliced Serena to defeat. Exquisite use of a shot that's less and less favoured these days in spite of its effectiveness, esp on this surface. Lovely old school tennis from...

Fed's tactics were spot on today. Denied rhythm to Wawrinka while keeping up his consistency on serve. Even did SABR a few times, on the one occasion (if not more) it even worked. The best part of...

Lopez won in straight sets over Fognini. Big serve, lots of net rushing, no rhythm for Fognini.

Apparently Becker is pathetic enough to criticise Fed for something McEnroe and Edberg actually used to do, contrary to Becker's claims. Maybe not half volley returns but well inside the baseline...

Fog takes returns very early, in fact takes balls pretty early at times. In that amazing game at 4-4 in the fifth, he hit a half volley winner which was quite Federer-like. Having said that, it's...

Fognini did pick up after two sets down. But Nadal too dropped his level, in a recurring pattern we've seen all year. He seems to get fatigued by the third set and just can't close out the match. ...

First tough test coming up for Nadal. Foginini is not the best on hard courts but he is still a pretty solid player. Nadal struggled to beat Schwartzmann and the final tally doesn't tell the full...

Watching Halep-Erakovic. Ball does seem to go through noticeably faster in the day session. Seen a fair few outright winners already and ball isn't stopping through much after bounce. When I...

Doesn't look any faster than it has been in the last few years or so. But the on going work of building a roof for Ashe has already had the effect of blocking out the wind, apparently. And without...

Interesting to read about the 1977 US Open. Connors' cheating easily casts Nike draws and slow court spartan tennis propaganda into the shade. It's hard to even accept what Connors did as something...

Nole just brutally broke down Fed, his shots and his stamina till he had no fight left in him and simply disappeared in the 4th set. He has learnt from their previous epic at Wimb and avoided the...

The best was Wilander saying Murray's net point conversion is higher than Fed's. Yeah over far fewer points. I too rated Murray's chances slightly better...because I never thought this version of Fed...

Ha ha, right, MTF. I was checking out MTF too. I like to find out what they are thinking, don't necessarily like the tard/GIF driven style of argument there. :P One Fed fan I know on facebook...

Anyway, wouldn't be unhappy if Djoko wins either. Either way, it's a great result for tennis.

That is indeed the Big If, the million dollar question, Arvind. :D I am reading what other forums are saying on the internet and people are near unanimous that should Fed bring this game on Sunday,...

Yeah, the commentators noted it too. It was like, "Yeah, you know what, I CAN handle this. Is this all you got?" Something like that, was what Roddick said. By the by, the Henman-Roddick-Castle...

What, no comments? Yesterday's match just came out of nowhere. Even if grass does bring Fed closer to the rest of the Big Four, yesterday was ridiculously awesome. The Fed of old, not the old Fed,...

THAT forehand comes back every now and then unlike last year when it was almost completely gone but for the last three games of the 4th set against Djoko. I suspect it strains him to hit the...

Rafa has to learn to flatten out his shots at Wimbledon, esp his serve! That topspin serve just sits up to be whacked back with interest by the returner. He has to at least mix it up with slice...
