We're officially "back to the future" Down Under. The Australian Open has provided us with some fantastic tennis over the course of the last two weeks, and amidst all of the upsets that have happened on both sides of the draw, it's only fitting that some of the old souls of the sport are the ones that are still playing into the weekend. On the men's side, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal have fallen a long way from when they were last in a Grand Slam final together six years ago; neither one is even ranked in the Top 5 in the world any longer. But they're here in the Aussie Open final in what should be a match for the ages for both men....

The 73rd edition of the Internazionali BNL d'Itali, or simply put, the Rome Masters is the last of the major events players will partake in before the French Open. Typically, players who do well on the clay in Rome end up translating their success over to Paris where it really counts, so tennis bettors should be paying quite close attention to this throughout....
As we continue to draw closers to the French Open, the second major of the year, the men and women on the ATP and WTA Tours will be playing a ton on clay courts.
