Sinner's serve at 5-4 was so typical and so pathetic. If you had hopes for this guy, his tennis career, fuck off; you have no idea what you're doing. He is a massive imposter. He hasn't done shit on this tour but swing really hard from the baseline. I'll take Hurkacz all day, who spanked …

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 …
Tough to Watch
I see for this bottom-half’s SF a rematch of their Rome QF from a few weeks ago: Nadal vs Schwartzman. Thiem looks bad. Let's get to Nadal vs Djokovic. 9th game of this second set, tied at 4-4, is entering the 12th minute. This is unwatchable. Sorry. Like the American Presidency. Though I find it …
The Truth in Real Time
Do you want to know the truth of clay court tennis? Forget for a second the mammoth legacy of Rafael Nadal, who's ownership of the clay court, of Roland Garros and many other dirty venues, has seemingly elevated this surface beyond its mere claim of surface diversity, history and cultural charm. The unevenness of the …
The Fall of Clay
Folks, that's a double entendre. You know I don't like clay; and we have the European clay season taking place in the fall. Work with me. I love the title. Djokovic's 5th Rome Masters, his 36th 1000 title, of course . . . that title. 😀 Let me make this post as short and as …
On Medvedev and Clay
And on the BH, by extension -- so you know where this is going. Medvedev and Thiem both lost in the last day or so. I am putting Medvedev's loss on him, Thiem's on that awful surface. Ha ha. How far does honesty really get you? I have talked for eons on my criticism of …
Roland Garros tRain-wreck
I understand the relatively high (I'm being pretty generous here) tennis IQ of the clay court fans (probably fairly European, South American -- wherever clay courts find the most usage and popularity); I acknowledge that the passion for this kind of tennis can certainly provide the basis for an extended knowledge and appreciation for the …
Nadal, GTFOH.
https://twitter.com/ATP_Tour/status/1113106667519053829 Two weeks ago he retired from an Indian Wells semi-final, fucking-over an entire population of tennis fans, some of whom were holding a ticket for the match between his clay court highness and Federer. He sure looks like the clay court specialist he is in that video from Twitter. GTFOH. This is from the …
Federer Into Stuttgart Final & We’ve Got Tennis Schwag
Be honest: did you think the mention of schwag meant I'd gone ahead and created some Mcshow Blog schwag? More honesty: would you be reaching for your wallet? I'm going to take that as a double yes, which turns-out to be Kyrgios-like, given his eight DFs today in the Stuttgart SF v Federer. Mcshow Blog …

Rafa Reigns, Takes Rome and No. 1 Heading into Paris.
"Reigns" -- get it? Yeah, you saw my last post, no? Probably the most spot-on, articulate post of ATP matters I've ever written. Zverev losing the first set 6-1 (destroyed, after breaking Nadal in the opening frame), then winning 9 of the next 12 games, taking the second set 6-1 and finding an early break …
