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 …
Two Things at 3-3 in the 3rd
Although Alcaraz and Ruud have similar total time on court during the fortnight, the Spaniard comes into this match with a lot of difficult hours fresh in his legs, so he, naturally, has some of that weighing on his chances here despite being an overwhelming favorite at the start. You see this fatigue in his …
2022 USO Final
Another absolute head-scratcher masterpiece from the Carlos again. That drop shot on his first MP in the fourth set! Uhg. But Frances came-up with the goods there too, so I can't give Alcaraz too much grief. This SF wasn't nearly as taxing as the Sinner QF though I could be mistaken. I think the Spaniard …
USO SF
What a QF between Sinner and Alcaraz. More needs to be said about this match. This is the future of the sport. The two players got better during the match. Think what these two youngsters will do for each other's games over the next 10-15 years. Remarkable resilience from the Spaniard. As light as my …
Sinner vs Alcaraz USO QF
Sinner is up 3-0 in this third set TB. He looks like he'll win this match, only because the Spaniard seems to find ways to keep the Italian in the match. The second set was incredible. Great tennis, but tough not to get past how the teenager is simply not closing the deal, even a …
This is Why the ATP is a Shitshow
Karen Khachanov is everything wrong with the state of this sport. He has been an absolute no-show on tour given his promising early start and some of the hype surrounding the young Russian revolution of tennis, of which he was a part. He's only 26, but he hasn't done shit since his nice 2018 where …
Spain Still Alive Despite Nodal
Watching Cilic v Alcaraz right now. Actually, Cilic with a BP here in the second set down a set and a break at 0-1. Let's see . . . second serve coming up . . . and he gets the break, so we're back on serve in the second at 1-1. But the first set …
Update and Yes I’m Alive
Couldn't really give a shit about tennis these days, for obvious reasons, but I've been sniffing the vintage. Bad, to say the least, but there are some notes to share about these fruitcakes. I'm watching Kyrgios v Medvedev right now. Medvedev is an overrated $unt. If you don't see this, good luck. Kyrgios is (has …
The San Diego Open!
Looking forward to seeing the draw. Oh, and any geniuses out there want to hype the tournament being played in NYC in the next couple of weeks? The floor is yours. 😀
Djokovic Wins WB Brilliantly, Tragically
His tennis and management of a major final continue to be of the highest quality. Four WBs in a row, seven total. He ties Pete, about whom he quite often, including Sunday, speaks, referencing one of his first childhood memories of the game, watching the American lift his first WB title in 1993. Djokovic showed …
