2014 : Revolution of tennis

After a blockbuster year , hard fought battles , dramatic losses , inspirational comebacks and brilliant tennis was seen during the year of 2013 . As we saw during the entire 2013 we saw the evolution of tennis we didn't see one man dominate every time except in the case of Rafael Nadal .


We saw the young generation of tennis putting their threshold on to the ATP circuit  !
What made 2013 special ? Well that has to be very easy , One man showed what the meaning of a word "COMEBACK" come back actually meant  , returning back to the court on February having a win loss record of 75-7 winning 10 titles including a record breaking 8th grand slam at the french open and his 2nd us open and retaining his rightful position at the top was one man Rafael Nadal  .
Now to main focus  the young generation showed alot of promise during 2013 . 


One of the main facts which showed the young generation prospering was at the Wimbledon .
The man who showed promise in the end of 2012 when through so much of leaps and bounces to reach the semi finals was Janowicz, Jerzy , the world didnt except to see at his run was halted by the eventual champion Andy Murray .Another man showed promised  was Jerzy countrymen Kubot, Lukasz it was the first time ever two Polish men were in the quarter finals of any grand slams . Seeing the young prosper was nice but seeing heros fall was not something we would wish to see early on such as Nadal loosing to Darcis in straight sets in the first round
and Roger loosing to Stakhovsky, Sergio in 4 sets in the second round .

Wawrinka showed a brilliant fight back in 2013 reaching the world tour finals semis , losing an epic 5 set battle in the 4th round of the Australian and Us open Semi finals both to hands of nerve rocking Novak Djokovic


Known as baby Federer showed glimpses as a great champion during the entire stretching Rafael Nadal to 3 sets in Monte Carlo , defeating Novak in 3 tie breaker sets at Madrid and  finally clinching his Atp title at Stockholm Open was Grigor Dimitrov who stunnedet  David Ferrer . 


The ending of the year was amazing  Roger Federer sad performances finally came to a stop who played an exceptional match against del potro in the deciding round robin match to reach the semi finals of the atp world tour finals , Nadal couldnt cap out a steller performance which was slightly disappointing Novak  hasnt lost a single ATP match since losing his number 1 rank to Nadal ended the year on 24 match winning streak .

2014 has lot to show us , we are bound to see even more amazing matches shocking losses  and even better comebacks in this wonderful sport.
