I need to come clean: I have not really followed that closely the restructuring of the Davis Cup. I do exist on Twitter in very limited capacity, so reading tweets from certain tennis folk who either clarify developments themselves or "retweet" those who cover these stories none the less does keep me more or less …

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. …
Addendum to my Addendum
My last post was perhaps as befuddled as is this Fanovic spin zone. The fanboys and girls are jumping on Becker's loose tongue and the hysteria surrounding this spin is as loud as was the uber confidence that their hero would demolish Murray in the WTF like he did that straw man Nishikori. Let me …
Djokovic’s Run

His 2016 achievements include, of course, an Olympic gold medal, so the Brit has indeed been on a big run, looking …
Thoughts on USO Men’s Semi-finals

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 …
