Since the first SF was mid-day, most of us in PST were still working, so I tried to stream the match on my computer and was pretty successful. As I tuned-in, Djokovic was already up 3-0 in the first and Gael was just beginning to taint the match with gale-force turds of tennis dishonor. To …

SF #2: Wawrinka v Nishikori
Class. I will have a more thoughtful write-up tomorrow.
SF #1: Djokovic v Monfils
This tournament has become a joke with such amateur bullshit in a semi-final of a major. If you read my twitter feed (sorry, had to sorta. . . uh. . . up my game a bit? Plus I can "pop" off during a match!!!), you'll see the 4-set win was a given at the start …
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 …
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 …
N.A. HC Season!
Tell me if I'm wrong: a catchy, energetic title is SEO 101, right? Might not even matter since I probably skipped another step or two in delivering on effective SEO with this or other blogs. The point, however, is that I had a choice here as far as the energy goes: use that energy in …
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 …
