Nadal is up two sets to zip over Thiem as I begin this post, 63 64. I'll have to re-write this if Dominic comes back and makes this really really interesting. But I really doubt that's going to happen (the match has thus ended, as I edit this, with Nadal closing out the final set …

RG 2017: QF Wrap and SF Preview
Djokovic Hopefully you read my reaction to Thiem crushing Djokovic's dream of a return to the kind of championship tennis we saw from Novak back in 2016. To be clear, not that any of you are not aware of my general concern for all things men's tennis, this slump/collapse/decline of Novak is fairly troubling. Though …
Dominic Thiem Ends Djokovic’s French Dream
This was an historical match as the 2017 tennis continues to chart the catastrophic Djokollapse. Yes, we have been charting said collapse since the summer of 2016. Yes, there have been signs of recovery; and yes the future looks pretty dim for Novak as the tennis continues to lack championship quality and consistency. Like I …
Roland Garros QF Preview
Let's keep this party bus rolling into the business-end of the tournament. We have big-time top-seeded match-ups as we've reached the final eight. Murray v Nishikori This leans Murray because he's gaining confidence, having survived his draw. I would call his a decent draw with the Klizan FH, the gentle giant DPo and a rising …
Roland Garros Quarter Finals
In tomorrow's matches, Murray will beat the 21 year-old "Special-K" (Karen Khachanov) but what a nice run from the Russian who beat Berdych and Isner en route to his R16 date with the no. 1 seed. Murray looks like he's finding some energy and stronger form with Lendl looking on and the stakes terribly high. …
Roland Garros R16
The Murray Del Potro match transpired as we'd hoped. No one wants to play DPo. But you have to, Andy. Don't disappoint us, Murray. Wawrinka has a good draw to the SF. Fognini all the way down to Cilic in that quarter don't belong on the court with Stanimal when he's hitting his FH like that, keeping …
Developing Story at the French: Djokassi
Greetings, my tennis fiends (Not a typo. Indeed, you are my "friends," but with the French underway, and the sport's history on the men's side embellishing our dangerous tennis drunkenness: you and I are no better than fiends of this ghostly tale of legends and champions). Having opened with that. . . nothing too interesting …
Roland Garros 2017 Draw
The French Open draw is out and it looks like most of the other clay draws of 2017. Wawrinka and Murray in the top half and Nadal and Djokovic in the bottom half. The bottom seems to have more contenders, but this is clay, so you never really know. Tsonga is my guy to shake …
The War to End All Wars: Djokovic v 2017 Fedal
This is already a crazy year of tennis with 2017 Fedal taking aim at whatever Djokeray had planned for this new year of our Lord. If Nadal wins the French that begins this Sunday, then the shit has officially hit the fan. Really, if anyone other than Murkovic wins the FO, the Kingdom will have …

Federer’s Withdrawal Revisited
The mess of the clay has without a doubt affected the quality of my blog of late. Sure, you might not have noticed since the form here, as you know, has been "the highest level ever played." 😀 There have been some choppy posts, but I'm going to attribute this, naturally, to the chaos of …
