Did any of you think that I was saying in that article a few days ago that Novak would never win another major? That THAT was the end of Novak in Flushing Meadows at the hands of Stan the Man? Well, that's not exactly what I meant. i really wanted to underscore how big of …

U.S. Open: Will Novak have to play a SF match?
Or will Monfils get down a set and pull the plug? This is an unreal draw for Djokovic and while this is certainly no fault of the Serb, anyone watching this circus has to say the mad disparity between the two halves is almost ridiculous. Murray/Nishikori and Wawrinka/Del Potro in one half and Djokovic with …

U.S. Open at the QF
I have so many thoughts on what's happening in NYC I'm not sure where to begin. I am going to keep this very short (sorry), but it's late, and there are so many bigger conversations I want to start in terms of the tennis here and now and, of course, the bigger picture - what …
Quick USO 4th Round Cheese
The match of the tournament, I mentioned earlier, will be Nadal v Pouille. Check my blog and watch the match. I don't even watch this stuff and know that's the match. Pouille is coming off a tough five-setter, but I like the 22 year-old to give Fraudal a solid 4R contest. Nadal looks pretty good, I …
Looking Back While Moving Forward
I have not written in a while. Obviously. Nor did I watch much tennis other than some Olympics matches and a couple of Toronto/Cincy contests I sniffed perhaps by accident. Between the crumbling nature of competitive excellence on tour and the Djokovic fanboy blowhards, I needed a nice little break. My last post was a bit …
Impressions of Wimbledon
First of all, congratulations to Andy Murray. Getting that third major does back-up his two odd-ball majors in 2012 (USO) and 2013 (WB) when Djokovic's form took a long-term dive, Nadal was typically erratic and Federer was in the midst of his steady decline. I watched as much of the match (taped) as I could, but, frankly, …
More SF Reaction and Final Preview
I wrote the "Roger Wilting" piece about ten minutes after the match, while at work. That post, then, was a quick reaction to the Raonic v Federer match: the image of Roger wilting was as vivid as Raonic rising. This image has almost obscured other images of Federer in our tennis imagination. Of course, even …
Wimbledon Semi-finals
Greetings! Wow. What QF drama to wet our appetites for the next few rounds of this grand slam. Let's rehash yesterday and preview tomorrow. I really only got to watch the Federer v Cilic match, but did see good portions of the Raonic v Querrey and a few highlights of Berdych v Pouille. The Murray …
At the Wimbledon QF
Down goes Djokovic. Consequently, here we are at the great eight of the 2016 Wimbledon men's draw. From my point of view, everything is still intact, as Djokovic's drop in form was predicted and reiterated several times on this blog. This has less to do with insight than it does common sense. Watching his tennis …
Draw Analysis
Obviously play is underway. My last post about the draw had such disinterest or indifference I probably shouldn't have even published; but in the end I like that I'm evidencing the problem I have with the ATP at this point: boring as shit. I am going to say a few more specific things about the draw …
