1. Novak lost a meaningful match and therefore a meaningful tournament. Tough to criticize Djokovic at this point, but we here at Mcshow Blog look at the big picture and the WTF (ATP Finals) number is a factor. Bottom-line: he remains tied with Pistol Pete, down one to everyone's favorite Federer. He has his year-end …

I Gotta Say
Not much to say during this NEATO ATP Finals, folks. In case you were wondering. So, so predictable. Novak just destroying the field. The best part of Federer losing in the SF today (wild that he made it that far) is that all of the moronic (the worst) Nole fans can't say they're beating a …
Khachanov’s Win
You and I both know that the GOAT bullshit is simply non-stop. The Big 3 dominance has this thing on a constant boil. I think a lot of these "arguments" or "perspectives" are more or less the equivalent of hot air from the rear-end of Russsian bot-like trolls, stirring the broverbial pot. This here is …
Paris Masters Commentary
A great few days of tennis, which brings me to this question: how can I argue that once again, men's tennis isn't worth a shit when we get this kind of higher-end competition on tour? Well, we're still looking for a heartbeat outside the Top 3 (or even the Top 1 at this point) and …
2018 U.S. Open: the Vengeance of Novak and Serena
The U.S. Open men's final was, unfortunately, a bit too predictable. I never liked del Potro in this tournament, as a dark horse, for instance -- I said he was too stiff, the BH still a big liability, etc. I liked Stan (Stan had SP in that first set TB against Raonic. He wins that, …

USO Final: Novak v Juan Martin
I really only saw some of the Djokovic v Nishikori match and this I could have done without, other than we have definitive confirmation that Djokovic is playing flawless tennis. Some of this may be his opponents, but when we factor-in Wimbledon (I start back to that Rome SF where a one-legged Novak scared the …
U.S. Open Men’s SFs
Del Potro v Nadal -- 1:00pm PST. I'll make this quick since it's all about the matches at this point. A little perspective can help, but we just want to see two gents go to war (in both matches!). That Thiem v Nadal QF still resonates in our tennis imagination. That was a milestone for …
U.S. Open — Getting Caught-up
Let's run through some of the matches over the past few days. Unfortunately, I missed several of these (in some cases classic) contests because I was busy with other matters (work and family). Forgive me of my tennis sins. Federer Let's start with that Federer v Kyrgios match. I hope you realize how fair I …
What the 2018 U.S. Open Means
For the big 3. Our hope, to be quite honest, is that a player not part of this triumvirate wins the Open. The optics would be fresh, the discussion far more interesting (and hysterical among fanboys and fangirls) and the play, I would bet, across the tour would improve, with this infusion of belief. Here's …
Quasi Major Erotica
We are getting geeked for this final major of 2018 (that means really pumped in a technical manner). The story-lines are scantily dressed and talking filthy, as if the hardcore, I mean hard court tennis coming our way (don't touch that one) is going to blow our minds, filthily. I'll keep this short since this …
