5 Reasons Djokovic Fans Should Avoid Sharp Objects; or Shit or Get Off the Pot
Rome Fallout Zverev Wins first Masters (first guy born in the 90s to win one ((sad))) and Djokovic Confirms Bizarre Form Sorry for the delay in writing about the Rome final, Agassi, etc. To be honest, part of the delay was due to needing to watch the final on replay (my life, dear friends, is …

Djokovic Almagro and Nadal Fognini . . .
Above was literally the title a few days ago where I just wanted to comment on those two matches and a few other things, but never quite got there: but that's where I was going - to analyze some of this dirty tennis happening in Spain. Madrid. I had this video all lined-up, thought it …
Monte Carlo Wrap: Same Old, Same Old
The title of this post doesn't necessarily refer to the Nadal win, his 10th MC title and his 29th Masters title (a new-era metric for all of you tennis "historians" out there who unknowingly build wishful thinking logical fallacies to promote their favorite player). Nadal continuing to play solid tennis is more the story relating to …
Monte Carlo Midweek: Djokovic Still Struggling and Dimitrov Succumbing
The title above pretty much covers the biggest news thus far at the Monte Carlo Masters where we're into the R16. I watched the Djokovic match with Simon and the only thing that might undermine my inference (and my title) is if Simon turned-out to be playing an even higher-level of his unusual brand of (awkward) …

Miami QF
Yesterday saw Kei Nishikori play-out what an injured wrist looks like. That's what determined is zero FH, resorting early and often to chippy drop-shots and just getting out-hit. Fognini had very little difficulty with Kei. Fabio hasn't had the toughest draw, but bageling D. Young was a bit of an eye-opener. The American has played well …
Bang Bang Bang (Quick Post – Ka Pow!)
I watched a bit of the Tsonga v Kyrgios Open 13 SF and was abundantly pleased, expectations met. Tsonga has such a tremendous ability on the court, can raise his level and beat ANYONE in the sport. This potency has waned of late, with age of course, but we are always on the look-out. Rotterdam …
February Tournament Play and Early 2017 Contenders
I watched Tsonga get his 2nd set break-of-serve of Goffin up 5-4 in their Rotterdam final, which became a run-away title for Jo-Willy 46 64 61. I was literally thinking, if he loses to Goffin here, it's over for Jo-Wilfried. That tenth game of the 2nd set was so typical Tsonga. Microcosm of his career. He …

Dear, Reader . . .
I could have thanked the couple of readers in my previous post as the subject came up about people appreciating my blog, but I thought I'd write a post thanking them and anyone else who enjoys the blog (loved the big boost in readership during the AO. . .stick around! 😀 First and foremost, cheers to all …

Let's go through the draw, starting actually at the bottom, in that half that has absolutely exploded with possibility after the exit of world …
