This has been a tennis blog, but that discombobulated mess has not kept my interest so let's start with some other basics and get to tennis towards the end here. For this blog to continue I will have to stretch my brain anyways; may as well start now. I do miss writing. This is a …
Category: Big 3
At the Start of USO 2021
© TENNIS PHOTO NETWORK I have found actually writing something about tennis in this form unnecessary. Believe me: when I wrote about tennis on the regular from about 2015 through this year there were "stories" that needed to be told. Sure, that's TMI. But the lack of blogging on my part is not a coincidence. …
GOAT: Beauty Flawed
This image says it all Flaw and beauty are in the eye of the beholder. That's how life works; that's how this men's tennis GOAT debate works. Imagine that: the knucklehead you're arguing with on Twitter about who is the GOAT is right. And so are you. 😉 Yesterday we looked at Nadal and Djokovic; …
GOAT: Flawed or Beautiful?
Following our latest GOAT vs GOAT in a major final, with the outcome having significant statistical and theoretical consequences that fuck with people's emotions, thoughts, and arguments, let's take a dive into this GOAT discussion that revolves around the Big 3. Remember that this is mainly a conversation had by fans who mostly come to …
The Big 3 & RG Conspiracy!
The picture that I posted on my previous post is classic (posted again below). Not that a picture is worth a thousand words, necessarily, but this one blows up, defines the character sketch of these tennis greats. Federer is the elder, the leader of this band of kings. No question. There he is with the …
GOAT Gas Incoming. . .
Just a heads-up that we will breakdown this pile of subjectivity later today: the Big 3 bomb squad that's decimated the history books, the records, tennis sanity and so forth. Mcshow is not pulling an MIA after this massive result at RG on Sunday. What I will try to do, as you know, is provide …
The Djokovic Default
Happy Labor Day from the States (SoCal for you American honks). Currently, our weather temps remain high as fires continue to engulf the countryside, wildlife and human civilization (which sounds so ironic at this point: human civilization -- ha ha). Not good. So how about this tournament, the second major of 2020, a year that's …
2020 Wimbledon, etc.
The Stimulus Bill: Fuck You, Bill. https://twitter.com/mudfleas/status/1245092363439083526 But she'll get a check for $1200 in May or June, so she's good. The Trumplicans are an absolute shit show. The Democrats are probably no better, but how far do you get by comparing turds. Trump's belief that this was a hoax will, like his impeachment, follow …
Finding Interest in the Sport
Quite frankly, I haven't had much interest in the sport lately. Since the U.S. Open, to be clear. Nadal winning his 4th USO crown is quite impressive for the clay courter. Does that last sentence even make sense? Find my thought-process a bit tied-up in conflict, perhaps even denial? 😀 The Spaniard got another easy …
The 2019 USO is ATP Commentary
I saw a thread on Twitter recently that projected and simultaneously asked for responses on the final tally of career Majors for the Big 3. The tweet along with the several responses were all in the same ball park with various iterations: Novak finishing with 24, Nadal 22 and Federer 20; or Nadal 23, Djokovic …
