(Photo by Quinn Rooney/Getty Images) Indeed, nothing, seemingly, for months and now everyone is playing everywhere, Down Under, other than Federer. I've caught a bit of this early ATP Cup tennis. Djokovic looks to be finding his form, winning big points, getting under people's skin, advancing his country's chances at glory. Thiem looked a little …

Serbia Wins ATP Cup
If Hewitt had followed my game plan, Australia probably beats Spain in the SF. And if Spain's Captain Roig had included my in-put in his ATP Cup Final match strategy, we might have had a different result in that tie, as well. Nadal received a hard court tennis lesson yesterday from Djokovic, and then claimed …
ATP Cup Cheese
If you're Hewitt (or whoever is making these moves for team Australia), why in the world would you pit Kyrgios against RBA? I get the complication. You would have to start Millman to make the Kyrgios vs. Nadal arrangement work and Nadal could still beat Kyrgios. This is a Kyrgios problem and AUS's inability to …
Serbia vs. Russia SF #1
Tricky tie here. Like Evans did to AUS in that QF, can another one-hander give his side an edge? Khachanov has to be favored here though I haven't really seen the Russians play, although I did see Medvedev basically tell Mohamed Lahyani to fuck off during the Russian's rubber against Schwartzman. Lahyani practically gave Medvedev …
Serbia vs. Canada Live Blog
Right now, two things, one everyone sees, one no one sees: FAA continues to look absolutely amateurish. Take a page from Shapo and get a coach (great to see Youzhny still at the controls in Shapo's ((Canada's)) box!). Novak is with a partial mind toward tanking this rubber/tie, and getting some downtime before the very …
ATP Cup QF
Indeed, my last post yesterday adding a little after-thought to the AUS vs GBR tie preview turned-out to be spot-on (this addendum post was, in effect, a "Must Watch" indication). 🙂 First of all, I guess ATP rank dictated that Kyrgios play Norrie? Ouch, if that's the case because that will probably put Aussie doubles …
QF #1 GBR vs. AUS
As Kyrgios and Norrie are underway, I do want to remind myself, at least, that this Evans vs De Minaur match later tonight could be huge, assuming Nick takes care of the 52nd ranked Brit. Of course De Minaur has a home-court advantage and is a difficult out; none the less, if the, as I …
ATP Cup
ATP Cup Obviously you didn't hear much from me over the last year or so when all of this ATP Cup organization and Davis Cup modification was happening, no commentary from me on the work of the ATP, ITF and partners like Tennis Australia and Gerard Pique's Kosmos investment group. I love the team oriented …
