Nadal confirmed for Queen’s Club 2010

Adam Davies — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 17:14:00 +0000

Multiple Grand Slam champion Rafa Nadal has confirmed that he will play at this year’s Aegon Championships, after missing the chance to defend his 2008 title through injury. The Spanish tennis ace will use the grass court event at London’s Queen’s Club to help him prepare for Wimbledon, which is the climax of the grass season. He will hope that this season follows a similar trajectory to 2008, when his fine form at Queen’s continued throughout Wimbledon fortnight and he emerged as champion – a stunning feat for someone many thought would never enjoy success on grass.

Last year, Andy Murray won the title and became the first Briton to win the title since 1938, and looks set to compete again this year. The star-studded field also should include Queen’s regulars Andy Roddick and Lleyton Hewitt.

PSV suffer shock defeat ahead of visit to Ajax

Ewan Eyre — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 13:24:19 +0000

PSV suffered a shock defeat at the hands of NAC Breda this past Saturday, leaving the Eredivisie title race wide open. The Eindhoven side threw away a one-goal lead to lose the game 2-1, as well as losing their position at the top of the table. FC Twente’s 1-0 victory away at RKC Waalwijk means that they now occupy the top spot, and with Ajax winning convincingly against Sparta Rotterdam, there are only a few points separating the teams at the summit.

The title shake-up comes just in time for this weekend’s mouth-watering Ajax vs PSV clash, of which tickets are still available to compare and buy here at Tixdaq.com. Ajax are now trailing their bitter rivals by only four points, with both teams’ title aspirations meaning that this weekend’s game is a must-win.

Fourth placed Feyenoord were also convincing winners this weekend, prevailing 4-2 away to Roda JC, in a match which saw both sides reduced to ten men. Feyenoord will be looking to carry their momentum into this weekend’s clash with Heracles.

This past weekend also saw ADO came from behind to secure a 1-1 draw with Vitesse, in an important clash in the relegation battle, which is now looking as interesting as ever ahead of this weekend’s games.

Hundreds of tickets are still available to compare and buy on Tixdaq.com for the remainder of a fascinating Eredivisie season.

Bayern machine rolls on

Adam Davies — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 13:11:18 +0000

It is difficult to avoid stereotypes of German efficiency when it comes to Bayern Munchen, typically known as Bayern Munich in the UK, but this year the Bavarian side are playing an attractive free-flowing game to complement their naturally ruthless streak. Bayern seem to challenge for honours every season, and also have a strong production line of talent constantly emerging from their academy that is the envy of many Premier League sides. Goalkeeper Michael Rensing and midfielders Bastian Schweinsteiger and Thomas Müller are all home-grown players that slot in seamlessly alongside international stars Miroslav Klose, Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben.

After a disappointing start to the season, Bayern Munchen have recaptured their cutting edge, and between 29th November 2009 and 13th February 2010 they won nine straight matches – scoring an average of over three goals a game. They first gained the top spot in the Bundesliga after 18 matches had been played, and since then have only relinquished it for two weeks before regaining the lead.

The challengers to Bayern’s throne are numerous, for the title race in Germany is more open than most European leagues. Over the last ten years, Borussia Dortmund, Werder Bremen, VfB Stuttgart and VfL Wolfsburg have been worthy champions. This season, the nearest contenders are Schalke 04 and Bayer Leverkusen, who are 2 and 3 points adrift respectively. With games against both to come as the Bundesliga reaches its climax, the big matches look set to decide the recipient of the title.

Meanwhile, Wolfsburg are looking to improve their disappointing league campaign with a recovery from mid-table. The Lower Saxony club won the Bundesliga title in the 2008-2009 with the help of their brilliant strikeforce of Grafite and the much sought-after Bosnian, Edin Dzeko. If Wolfsburg’s season is underwhelming Hertha Berlin’s is quite disastrous. After finishing a very credible fourth in last season, they currently rest at the foot of the table with just 15 points from 25 games – a points-to-games ratio that is worse than Premier League strugglers Portsmouth.

It is quite clear then that there are a number of important games coming up this March in the Bundesliga, and Tixdaq.com has tickets to all the following games and more:

March 13th 2010 – Schalke 04 vs. VfB Stuttgart
March 20th 2010 – Borussia Dortmund vs. Bayer Leverkusen
March 20th 2010 – VfL Wolfsburg vs. Hertha Berlin
March 27th 2010 – Bayern Munchen vs. VfB Stuttgart
March 27th 2010 – Borussia Monchengladbach vs. Hamburger SV

Real Madrid move top as Barcelona slip up

Ewan Eyre — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 12:11:57 +0000

Real Madrid moved to the top of La Liga on goal difference at the weekend after a thrilling victory against Sevilla. The Bernabeu faithful witnessed their side overcome a two-goal deficit to win the game 3-2 thanks to Rafael Van Der Vaart’s desperate injury time winner.

Real Madrid would have been inspired to hear of Barcelona’s earlier stumble, with the Catalan giants drawing 2-2 with Almeria and relying on Argentine star Lionel Messi to score twice in order to salvage a point.

This weekend, in a title race that is fascinating football fans from all over the world, Real travel to lowly Valladolid whilst Barcelona host Valencia, who’s own title dreams appear to be well and truly over, thanks to a frustrating goalless draw with Racing Santander on Monday night. The tension at the top of the table is making for an irresistible El Clásico clash next month, and Tixdaq.com can reveal that tickets are still available for one of the most eagerly anticipated clashes in the football calendar.

Elsewhwere in the league, seemingly doomed Xerez came back from behind to record a 4-2 victory over Malaga, and will be hoping to carry on their momentum against eighth placed Villareal this weekend, with the bottom side still ten points away from safety.

Atletico Madrid secured a last-gasp leveller at Real Zaragoza, as Athletic Bilbao kept within reach of the European places with a 2-0 victory over Valladolid. Deportivo also boosted their hopes of European football next season after a 3-1 victory over relegation battlers Tenerife, setting up an interesting game this coming weekend as they travel to Sevilla, with tickets available to compare and buy here at Tixdaq.com.

Other highlights in this weekend’s upcoming fixtures include Getafe vs high-flying Real Mallorca and Osasuna’s trip to Atletico Madrid.

Can Inter be overhauled in Serie A title race?

Adam Davies — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 11:58:25 +0000

Inter Milan have seemed to be an unstoppable force under Jose Mourinho. Like the Special One’s Chelsea side, the Nerazzurri seem to have a habit of doing just enough to win each match. However, recently Inter have struggled to find that cutting edge in their play, and have drawn four of their last five matches. Three of those four draws have been 0-0 as opponents have managed to shut Inter out.

Although AC Milan lost to Inter on January 24th, since then they have picked up 13 points to Inter’s 10 and have closed the gap at the top of the table to just four points. Both sides have the distraction of Champions League football to worry about, but with AC Milan conceding three goals to Manchester United they are certainly not favourites to progress. Inter have a tough task at Chelsea, but at least Mourinho has a slender 2-1 lead to defend at his old stomping ground of Stamford Bridge. “Mourinho does not lose at Stamford Bridge” said the Inter boss, referring to his tenure in charge of Chelsea when he never lost a home game.

At this stage of the season, much comes down to a team’s mentality in the face of adversity. If, as expected, AC Milan are knocked out of the Champions League, their only focus would be the league – having been eliminated from the Italian Cup at the quarter final stage. It is a fascinating battle and at present it is impossible to tell whether Milan’s red or blue half will be celebrating come the end of the season, or indeed if Roma, seven points behind could make a breathtaking comeback.

Other battles underway include Juventus’ challenge for the elusive fourth Champions League spot – they are two points behind current occupants Palermo, and Fiorentina’s desperate struggle to get into any European slot after doing so well last year. The Viola are still in the Champions League, but it looks like winning the competition will be their only chance of gaining a place in next year’s tournament.

There are some huge matches in Serie A coming up this month, and tickets to the following are all available to compare and buy on Tixdaq.com:

21st March 2010 – AC Milan vs. Napoli
21st March 2010 – Fiorentina vs. Genoa
21st March 2010 – AS Roma vs. Udinese
28th March 2010 – AC Milan vs. Lazio
28th March 2010 – AS Roma vs. Inter Milan
28th March 2010 – Juventus vs. Atalanta

Lady GaGa plans to stage 3D concert

Ewan Eyre — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 09:51:31 +0000

Outlandish singer Lady GaGa is reportedly planning to stage a 3D concert in the near future. According to her record label, the singer is also hoping to release 3D footage as a DVD. Rumours have been circulating ever since the artist gave away 3D glasses to fans last year, stating that they would need them “for things happening soon.”

It is not yet clear when the show will occur, or how fans will be involved, as the singer is currently preparing for the Australian leg of her Monster Ball world tour.

Lady GaGa is returning to the UK at the end of May, and tickets are still available for her shows at the Trent FM Arena in Nottingham and the O2 Arena in London.

Latitude festival tickets on sale from 7pm tonight!

Adam Davies — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 09:29:18 +0000

Festivals constantly sell all their tickets without announcing any of the acts on their bill. While some might criticise the lack of information, others might argue that people buy tickets because they are near-guaranteed a great time at a festival, and that the anticipation is heightened each time an additional act is added to the lineup.

Latitude Festival tickets go on sale this evening at 19:00 hours and it is sure to be a fantastic occasion, even if there are as yet no confirmed acts. However, strong rumours suggest Belle & Sebastian and Florence and the Machine will be there, so make sure you are too! Remember, tickets go on sale from 7pm tonight, 9th March 2010

Fulham fixture list crowding up

Adam Davies — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 15:56:28 +0000

Fulham have had another excellent season under manager Roy Hodgson, and recently knocked holders Shakhtar Donetsk out of the UEFA Europa League. The next three weeks are a critical period for the West London side with a mammoth schedule making fatigue a very real danger. The Cottagers must play seven games between now and April 2nd, including matches against Manchester United, Manchester City, Tottenham and Juventus (twice).

Further success in both FA Cup and UEFA Europa League could adversely affect Fulham’s league form, or galvanise it, but with so many games to come for the small squad, the rest of March could decide their season.
