Sure this has appeal. Obi-Wan Kenobi against the evil empire. The Kyrgios v Zverev SF today was pretty predictable. Kyrgios is just a better, more experienced player. The serve alone gives him all kinds of access to The Force. He's the rebellion's only hope. Federer (I mean the Emperor) has gotten the better of the …

Western & Southern Open QF Setting
Incidentally, the last R16 match is still undecided, Nadal v Ramos-Vinolas. But Kyrgios just closed-out Karlovic, so the winner of the Spanish duel will get the volatile (and injured) Aussie in that QF, which actually gets played later today; yesterday's rain delay gives Kyrgios and his QF opponent quite a Friday workload. This could prove …
Miami QF
Yesterday saw Kei Nishikori play-out what an injured wrist looks like. That's what determined is zero FH, resorting early and often to chippy drop-shots and just getting out-hit. Fognini had very little difficulty with Kei. Fabio hasn't had the toughest draw, but bageling D. Young was a bit of an eye-opener. The American has played well …
Miami Looking Like Indian Wells #Fedkyrinka
The boys that played well in IW are more or less still doing damage in Miami. Just at a glance you have Federer, Wawrinka, Kyrgios, and Sock looking good along with others like Zverev and Nishikori. But that top four are definitely not missing a beat. I'm pretty sure I mentioned in my last post …

Indian Wells 2017
What a start to the year for the 35 year-old Roger Federer. He had a "dip" in Dubai, but what the hell. Federer's dominance in Indian Wells, out playing his opponents relentlessly, netted him his fifth PNB Paribas Open (to match Djokovic's five IW titles). In the season's biggest and most popular Masters-level tourney, he …
Up Next: IW Quarter Finals
Well, another quick post because that's all I have time for. I leave tomorrow night for Indian Wells Semi Final action on Saturday. Not what I had in mind when I purchased the tickets. I have the potential of seeing: Pablo Carreno Busta v Dominic Thiem and Jack Sock v Nick Kyrgios :0 That would …
2017 Dubai and Acapulco Takeaways
I did not get my post up fast enough prior to the Federer loss, but my brain and responsibility to the blog both wanted to articulate the importance of Murray winning this tournament; having the loss of Federer at hand, such a post would sound like meaningless rationalization. Should've tweeted it. 😀 Much of the …
Bang Bang Bang (Quick Post – Ka Pow!)
I watched a bit of the Tsonga v Kyrgios Open 13 SF and was abundantly pleased, expectations met. Tsonga has such a tremendous ability on the court, can raise his level and beat ANYONE in the sport. This potency has waned of late, with age of course, but we are always on the look-out. Rotterdam …
Reader Poll!
Just kidding. I prefer the actual discussion of these questions that websites and blogs often offer their readers. Sure polls and surveys are "fun" and interesting and easy, I suspect. But let's hear what you have to say, rather than "see" what button you push. 😀 Who needs an Acapulco win more: Djokovic or Nadal? …
Indian Wells Preview: ATP 250 & 500 Action
The build-up to Indian Wells has intensified with some business-end of tournament play in Rio, Marseille and Delray Beach this weekend, followed by some big boy tennis next week in Dubai and Acapulco. In Rio, the lone 500 this week, we have maybe a Thiem v Dolgopolov final in the cards though Thiem has to …
