I've just finished reading Andre Agassi's biography "Open" and it's a very interesting book, especially if you've followed Agassi's career closely.

I'll prepare my review of the book until the next newsletter so that you can decide more easily if you want to digest the whole book.

I've had the opportunity to check an innovative tennis software with which you can test your tennis skills.

The software contains 10 different games which test your speed of reaction, hand-eye coordination, anticipation and many other skills.

Roger Federer lost in the first round at Paris Bercy Masters tournament against Julien Benneteau and the last time Roger lost in the first round was in July 2008 against Giles Simon.

What happened? I believe Roger was willing to lose the match if necessary because he wanted to get his backhand working again.

The top 8 players are already in London practicing for the ATP Finals and I came across a website that stays in touch will all the latest on the ATP tour.

Tennis Earth is currently the only site providing point by point Live Tennis Text Commentary and Live Scores on all ATP and WTA tennis matches.

You'll also find quality editorial comments and analysis for fans and players alike.

So who do you think will win the ATP Finals? The in-form Djokovic? Will Federer bounce back? Can Nadal take the crown?

Let me know your thoughts!

Best, Tomaz
