I figure I should put a wrap on what happened over the last couple of weeks, how the WTF played-out and so forth. My last post was typed and published in about 2 minutes' time, as Dominic and Daniil headed for a third and deciding set. Thiem should have finished that match in the second …

ATP Finals Championship
Regardless of what happens here in the third set, Medvedev's tennis is crap. This is what the modern game's main style theme has wrought. Dominic looks to be choking the match away. Maybe he survives. He should. Not a high level of play here at all, but for a few points here and there. Too …
2020 is Like a THBH
Sure this could be a reference to Nadal's run here at the WTF. But a few thoughts first on a few events since the fall French, when we last exchanged pleasantries. St. Petersburg went to the (once) hottest Russian Rublev. Despite his London loss tonight to Tsitsipas, he still might actually be the best Russian …
2020 to the End
Nadal will win the ATP finals. Why not. And this will be on Djokovic. Toodles.
GOAT: Beauty Flawed
This image says it all Flaw and beauty are in the eye of the beholder. That's how life works; that's how this men's tennis GOAT debate works. Imagine that: the knucklehead you're arguing with on Twitter about who is the GOAT is right. And so are you. 😉 Yesterday we looked at Nadal and Djokovic; …
GOAT: Flawed or Beautiful?
Following our latest GOAT vs GOAT in a major final, with the outcome having significant statistical and theoretical consequences that fuck with people's emotions, thoughts, and arguments, let's take a dive into this GOAT discussion that revolves around the Big 3. Remember that this is mainly a conversation had by fans who mostly come to …
The Big 3 & RG Conspiracy!
The picture that I posted on my previous post is classic (posted again below). Not that a picture is worth a thousand words, necessarily, but this one blows up, defines the character sketch of these tennis greats. Federer is the elder, the leader of this band of kings. No question. There he is with the …
GOAT Gas Incoming. . .
Just a heads-up that we will breakdown this pile of subjectivity later today: the Big 3 bomb squad that's decimated the history books, the records, tennis sanity and so forth. Mcshow is not pulling an MIA after this massive result at RG on Sunday. What I will try to do, as you know, is provide …
Nadal Wins 13th, 100th, 20th . . .
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 …
2020 French Final: Djokodal LVI
Who do you got in this championship match? We pinned this to our destiny when the draw was announced two weeks ago. We needed this match. 2020 has been relentless. We've clamored for normalcy, even the past, because there is so much doubt now and about the future. The tennis over the last couple of …
