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 …
Roland Garros Aftermath
Oh shit there's a lot to discuss. We probably get after this analysis and conversation tomorrow, but maybe later today. Just an unreal turn-of-events this week in Paris. I look forward to sharing a shitload of thought and perspective with you. Talk to you soon!
2021 Roland Garros Final
Let's start by saying the Nadal vs Djokovic match was really one of the most compelling tennis matches we've ever seen. For a number of reasons, but the genius begins with the tennis, how these two battle, break serve, somehow save their serve, come-up with the clutch dig, the lob, the sheer strength and elegance, …
French SF Friday
Both matches are exactly what we wanted. The set-up is perfect, really. The parallel is ideal. The legends against the best this crap youth can muster in a major championship competition. Put all of the Aslan the Great comedy, the big Russian invasion for that matter, the Berrettinis, the . . . uh that's about …
Djokovic vs Medvedev AO Final
I wish I could pull-off this preview in haiku form or perhaps more accurately as a senryū. Maybe I'll work on this kind of approach with my post-match analysis. There isn't too much to say about this one :D. Medvedev appears to be the hottest player in the draw though the world #1 and eight-time …
The Age of Denial
How many of you watched the Djokovic vs Zverev QF last night, live? We were in that 3 to 4am river; I drifted in and out like some sort of drug addict. My dog was looking at me funny. But I was wide awake for the final act of this tennis match. How about that …
2020 ATP Finals, etc.
I figure I should put a wrap on what happened over the last couple of weeks, how the WTF played-out and so forth. My last post was typed and published in about 2 minutes' time, as Dominic and Daniil headed for a third and deciding set. Thiem should have finished that match in the second …
GOAT: Flawed or Beautiful?
Following our latest GOAT vs GOAT in a major final, with the outcome having significant statistical and theoretical consequences that fuck with people's emotions, thoughts, and arguments, let's take a dive into this GOAT discussion that revolves around the Big 3. Remember that this is mainly a conversation had by fans who mostly come to …
Nadal Wins 13th, 100th, 20th . . .
I'm not a numerologist, but do those numbers mean something deeper, or is this just part of the statistical debris left blowing around Philippe-Chatrier following the 2020 men's French Open final in which Rafael Nadal steamrolled Novak Djokovic 0 2 and 5. I kid you not: after the first two games of the match, I …
