The announced split from Marian Vajda, fitness coach Gebhard Phil Gritsch, and physiotherapist Miljan Amanovic seems to mark a final blast to the Djokovic camp, one that’s been crumbling, according to me and Novak, for about a year. He fired Boris Becker back in the fall and because of his continued struggles (despite what many …
A potentially high quality match-up for this grass court final. Both players know their respective ways around this elegant surface. Nick announced his arrival on tour by beating Nadal at the 2014 Championships R16, ironically. He was deprived of the opportunity to play him in today’s other SF because the Spaniard withdrew from the tournament. …
Greetings from SoCal. I certainly have more thoughts on the GOAT math. Interesting that Novak has pulled out of IW. I had no interest in that tournament this year either way. I saw some incredible tennis down there going back to 2012. Great venue. But didn’t have it on the calendar this year and surely …
The loss or the win — however the fuck you want to see this match (you can’t have it both ways). This was an extraordinary match. We didn’t expect such an outcome. But hindsight, as they say, is 20/20. Extraordinary. No other way to describe how this men’s final unfolded. Novak had literally nothing left. …
The first part (will write and publish all parts — see Table of Contents — throughout the day, between work responsibilities). Stay-tuned! The loss or the win — however the fuck you want to see this match (you can’t have it both ways). This was an extraordinary match. No other way to describe how this …
How many of you watched the Djokovic vs Zverev QF last night, live? We were in that 3 to 4am river; I drifted in and out like some sort of drug addict. My dog was looking at me funny. But I was wide awake for the final act of this tennis match. How about that …
I’m not a numerologist, but do those numbers mean something deeper, or is this just part of the statistical debris left blowing around Philippe-Chatrier following the 2020 men’s French Open final in which Rafael Nadal steamrolled Novak Djokovic 0 2 and 5. I kid you not: after the first two games of the match, I …
The Stimulus Bill: Fuck You, Bill. just got terminated from my retail job, which is at a company owned by a man worth 91 billion, and our severance package is one week's worth of minimum-wage pay. makes sense! — Devon (@mudfleas) March 31, 2020 But she’ll get a check for $1200 in May or June, …
I will certainly post another state-of-the-union/Reaction to 2019 U.S. Open article or two. There’s so much to consider with respect to this last major, the end of 2019 and beyond. Recall my series of posts following the 2016 U.S. Open. This turned-out to be a very interesting time in men’s tennis with Djokovic at the …
First, congrats to Rafa on winning his fourth U.S. Open, and his second major of the year, giving him, as we all know, 19 majors overall. Some are calling Rafa a 2019 year-end #1, as well. I suppose if Novak is really injured, then that’s a fair assessment, but there is a lot of tennis …
