Who you got? Okay, I'm getting way ahead of myself here. Sorry for the delay in posting; I wanted to make sure I saw some actual tennis from the two matches I was going to write about. The Djokovic win is not the biggest news if you're a big-time tennis fan. Not in the least. …

2017. . .Here We Go
It's December 31, 2016. I have a couple of weeks to dial-in some ATP action as the athletes get their shits together for some 2017 tour action and subsequently some 2017 Australian Open form! Hope you all had a great holiday/are continuing to celebrate whatever holiday you're all about. Let's take a quick look back …
Before the Dawn, The Collapse
The end of the year is near, hence the dawn of a new calendar that comes with another year of old traditions, the possibility of new ones, new or some of those repeated expectations, hopes and the manifestation of dreams. All of these things and more come when we turn from December to January. In …
Final Thoughts on WTF
There are a few more thoughts on London and 2016. We could talk about 2016 in light of the return of Del Potro, Roger and Rafa's difficulties, the Stanimal, Pouille, Zverev, et al., and we will! But we're focusing here on the tour's top two, the guys that just played that whale of a final in London …
Now What, Novak?
The WTF final turned-out to be the coronation of Andy Murray. Well done. For me the match was completely psychological, mental, played on character - who's got it, who's struggling in that department. Andy wasn't necessarily brilliant, but he was solid and did not shy from those big moments of the match. Lendl was in …
The 2016 World Tour Finals Final – Preview
We have the most anticipated, most appropriate final tomorrow to decide not only the World Tour Finals Champion, but the year-end men's top tennis player in the world for 2016. The match-up is set and this is the first time we've had such a consequential WTF final, with a huge championship at stake, and world #1 …
WTF SF: Weathering the Storm
Andy weathered the storm early from Stan. Advanced. We saw this coming a mile away: Murray v Raonic Djokovic v Nishikori The fact that Novak has only played a couple minor talents in getting to his SF seems pretty good for him. This is like the 2016 USO, where he had a Challenger Tour draw. …
WTF SF Outlook
We have a final match still to play in the RR stage of the WTF, but the SF are starting to shape-up and look pretty interesting. Murray and Djokovic have handled their business in their first two matches. I have seen just a bit of the tennis, catching some of the Murray v Nishikori today …
Andy Murray v Novak Djokovic
Murray made the finals in Paris (and is in the process of beating John Isner), putting himself into position to claim his 3rd Masters of the year, seventh ATP title overall. Djokovic lost to Cilic in the QF, so he's no longer #1 in the world (Novak had to make the finals to maintain his #1 ranking). Novak …
Djokovic’s Run
All of the discussion right now is on the impressive run of one Andrew Barron Murray. Undoubtedly, he is having a fantastic year, including having collected his sixth ATP title of the year last week in Vienna. His 2016 achievements include, of course, an Olympic gold medal, so the Brit has indeed been on a big run, looking …
