The blog is coming back on. I know that I have threatened to do this for months, years. But I am not fucking around, this time. And just in time for clay (for those of you who remember my deepest affection for that surface of regression)! 🙂 Anyone out there?
I Should Write About How Djokovic
Is still dominating and none of the younger generation players poses much of a threat, let alone that any of them has real championship class. But I wrote about that for the last 3 or 4 years, so wouldn't that be a bit redundant? 🙂 Granted, I have lost the mojo in general to keep …
Time to Take the L Train
I have been stumbling around the question of what to do with this blog. The writing and reading was so strong for awhile. A lot of that had to do with me writing about professional tennis. This was unsustainable. I predicted that for years. I guess what I am interested in now, is loss. I'm …
French Open ’23
The diminished drama of the tour continues to erupt. The notorious golden era has officially reached what amounts to an encore with Djokovic soloing at Roland Garros, still ripping, still taking-on whatever this next gen can muster despite a considerable lack of tennis character and imagination. Spoiler alert: we're waiting for the Alcaraz v Djokovic …
Must Watch!
Time to chime-in and say this Alcaraz vs Coric match tomorrow, Madrid SF #1, has some potential. Granted, Alcaraz, everyone's next GOAT, is charming, disarming of his opponents and sending-off all sorts of other alarms with that game of his. But I'll take a peek given that an in form Borna can pose even a …
That’s a Wrap
On many things, but I'm referring to AO 2023, as well as much thought that the sport has much to offer (historically) after Novak, or much interest from me in talking about this tour. I enjoy watching tennis and always will. Among the many matches I enjoyed this past fortnight, I loved the Paul v …
Happy 2023!
Here are the goals for writing on this abandoned blog for 2023 and going forward: To engage more in commentary about tennis. The sport has been, as far as I'm concerned, in a bit of a round-about, going around and around, not sure where to get off, what direction to go, etc. Part of this …
Congrats, Novak!
As much as things change. . . Novak wins his 6th ATP Finals. Ties him with Federer. This is a very prestigious event, coming at the end of a long year, on the truest surface (conditions) test (indoor HC), against the world's best. The format used to be best-of-five. Nothing surprising to that; the sport …
At the Same Time . . .
He's so resilient, which is another way of saying what I said in that previous post. He recovers incredibly well, from difficult matches, from bad shots, etc. What's really funny is that in way he's the greatest we've seen. Youngest to reach #1 in the world, but more to the point: he has that strange …
