We have what we all want: Djokovic v Federer. They are tied in their H2H at 22, but I think you know how I feel about those H2H arguments. This one is especially irrelevant as one guy is still playing in his 35th year. To reiterate, Federer has to come-up with a slightly different game …

Public Service Announcement
Remember my TSQ discourse?

So, …
2106 Australian Open Men’s Draw
You know the draw is out for AO 2016. This post is late. Sorry. Been away from the old computer, which is actually a good thing. Let the games begin. Having grown-up an athlete, who still loves to watch and play and think like an athlete, there is nothing quite as intriguing as a tournament, …

Call for ATP Predictions
From the brain of Seth Godin. Surefire predictions I'm betting on the following happening in 2016: An event will happen that will surprise, confound and ultimately bore the pundits. Out of the corner of your eye, you'll notice something new that will delight you. You'll be criticized for work you shipped, even though it wasn't …
