On many things, but I'm referring to AO 2023, as well as much thought that the sport has much to offer (historically) after Novak, or much interest from me in talking about this tour. I enjoy watching tennis and always will. Among the many matches I enjoyed this past fortnight, I loved the Paul v …
Category: Novak Djokovic
Congrats, Novak!
As much as things change. . . Novak wins his 6th ATP Finals. Ties him with Federer. This is a very prestigious event, coming at the end of a long year, on the truest surface (conditions) test (indoor HC), against the world's best. The format used to be best-of-five. Nothing surprising to that; the sport …
Djgoatkovic
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. The biggest question in my preview was how much resilience the German would use to stick around and make Novak dig, perhaps nervously, for that next step in his quest for all-time tennis supremacy. I liked a fairly one-sided affair for Djokovic, …
Men’s SF
The intelligent pick on the Medvedev vs FAA match is the Russian routinely. Someone mentioned Felix's fitness, that he may get broken-down, especially given the Russian's MO, to push and extend points and play basically crap defensive tennis that works marvelously for the petite and mobile Medvedev. 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 …
