Going into the 2021 U.S. Open I had already confirmed for us (you and me, myself and I) that Djokovic was the greatest player to have donned the tennies. There are many ways to look at this almost fruitless debate/discussion, but these are some big metrics: Double career grand slam (won every major twice) Double …

Reaction to 2021 Men’s USO Final
© TENNIS PHOTO NETWORK The loss or the win — however the fuck you want to see this match (you can’t have it both ways). This was an extraordinary match. We didn't expect such an outcome. But hindsight, as they say, is 20/20. Extraordinary. No other way to describe how this men's final unfolded. Novak …

2021 U.S. Open Men’s Final
Well, that was how I thought the Djokovic vs Zverev match might go.

I liked a fairly one-sided affair for Djokovic, …
Men’s SF

If Felix breaks-down physically, then Toni is a …
The Business End of the U.S. Open 2021
I have been wielding some daily commentary on Twitter. Definitely a different community, so this different genre has been my vehicle of choice these days. Twitter is faster, easier (granted, less thoughtful) and has curbed my appetite to blog. I should also mention that this outlet, as most of you know, is rife with cultural …
Men’s WB Final
I want to write my ass off about tomorrow's final. I really do. But I had a long day watching my boy battle it out on the pitch, it's tournament time, and I finally just grabbed a shower, so I'm sipping a nice cold beer before I turn in (after watching some Tour de France …
Djokovic’s Ascendancy
I just wrote that title to start this and as corny as it sounds, I'm keeping it. That's all this is really about, the 2021 French, the SF, F, etc., etc., etc. Some of Nolefam and many of his other social warriors talk about how Novak doesn't get the respect despite already (especially in their …
