The ping-pongy tennis of Federer I previewed fully reared it’s head in his loss today v Kevin Anderson. And I was half right that this would be a straight-set win for Roger: He had MP there in the third. But he’s off, been off. The FH completely abandoned the 1-seed and the BH wasn’t 2017-like …
We have a nice little line-up for tomorrow’s Wimbledon men’s singles semi-finals. Though some of the draws burst into flames and let, in some respects, the dogs in, we arrive at a final four most tennis fans can appreciate, which may be a gigantic understatement. The Big 3 are alive and well, seemingly. Roger, you …
What’s it like to be a tennis fan today? If you follow this site, you benefit from some of that delicious draw analysis and match prediction based-off some insight on form, history, etc. Of course, the real beauty of this site revolves around the more original pieces that add perspective to the puppet show before …
Federer A quick note on the Federer loss though a little after the fact; despite the disappointment of not getting to see an even sorta-in-form Federer play Djokovic in the QF, Federer has clearly been treading in these kinds of water lately. To truncate this potentially long-winded discussion/post, the loss is totally in-line with what …
What do Mohamed Lahyani, Nick Kyrgios and Roger Federer have in common? They looked like garbage today in Day 4 play in and around Flushing Meadows. Federer We’ll start with Federer (to be fair, we’re not questioning his character). I clarified how the end of his R1 match was near fatal, having a chance at …
For the big 3. Our hope, to be quite honest, is that a player not part of this triumvirate wins the Open. The optics would be fresh, the discussion far more interesting (and hysterical among fanboys and fangirls) and the play, I would bet, across the tour would improve, with this infusion of belief. Here’s …
By Roland Garros 2016, Djokovic winning a significant tennis tournament was a foregone conclusion. He won everything, had been basically doing so since 2014. 2015 and 2016 were arguably peak Djoker. Fedal were no where to be found. Murray and Stan made little cameos here and there. The tour belonged to Novak Djokovic. Then Djokollapse, …

Djokovic had to work a bit to get by a charming Raonic. I almost titled this post “I was Raonic” since that seems to confess my error in overlooking the Canadian as much as I generally do. He played a nice brand of tennis yesterday, mixing-in the slice quite well. The FH broke-down, partly because …
We’ll make this as quick as we can. Raonic v Isner. Raonic has been to this tournament’s final, so clearly he has the experience (beating Federer in the SF that year — 2016 — doesn’t hurt either even though the Swiss was ailing and about to forego the rest of the season). Isner is 3-1 …
I just wrote that title to start this and as corny as it sounds, I’m keeping it. That’s all this is really about, the 2021 French, the SF, F, etc., etc., etc. Some of Nolefam and many of his other social warriors talk about how Novak doesn’t get the respect despite already (especially in their …
