Who do you got in this championship match? We pinned this to our destiny when the draw was announced two weeks ago. We needed this match. 2020 has been relentless. We've clamored for normalcy, even the past, because there is so much doubt now and about the future. The tennis over the last couple of …

What’s at Stake
😉 Let's talk briefly about why Djokovic and Nadal both need to win their respective matches tomorrow and go on to raise La Coupe des Mousquetaires on Sunday. You already know the answer to this two-sided question, but I have about an hour before a Zoom beer with a pal, so let's drop another post …
French Semi-finals
All things considered, we have the best match-ups possible for this 2020 French Open final four. Tsitsipas is the best player in that 2nd quarter. We were clear and correct on the Medvedev meteor, which burned up just about this time last year after his run ended (miserably I have to add) in NYC in …
French Quarters
REUTERS/Christian Hartmann To finish my commentary on Thiem vs Schwartzman, I liked Diego in this match and part of that absolutely comes from his results in Rome. He spanked Rafa, played a gem against Shapo and though he came-up against le patron (or il capo) in the final, he showed all kinds of value for …
The Fall of Clay
Folks, that's a double entendre. You know I don't like clay; and we have the European clay season taking place in the fall. Work with me. I love the title. Djokovic's 5th Rome Masters, his 36th 1000 title, of course . . . that title. 😀 Let me make this post as short and as …
The Djokovic Default
Happy Labor Day from the States (SoCal for you American honks). Currently, our weather temps remain high as fires continue to engulf the countryside, wildlife and human civilization (which sounds so ironic at this point: human civilization -- ha ha). Not good. So how about this tournament, the second major of 2020, a year that's …
Sport Has Returned
I'm a bit late on this, granted. I watched what I could last week as the men competed for the Western and Southern Open (the Cincinnati Masters) in New York City in front of empty seats. Such is the state of the game. My take on the empty seats, does this mean much, should we …
My Advice to Djokovic
First of all, I certainly hope that the Serb, his wife, and the other players and people infected from this outbreak following the ill-advised Adria Tour recover quickly. Chances are these individuals will be okay, but who knows how many more have been infected. This is true across the globe with this thing. Godspeed to …
Chinaahahahaaahhh, Shit!
Obviously, I'm out. I was out before the shit really started to hit the fan during this latest China-is-still-ruining-the-world-fuck-fest. This virus, as I said in a post or two ago "has everyone disturbed, confused, not-giving-a-shit, panicking, and getting ill and dying. Just horrific stuff." I said that on February 18. That's like me saying Medvedev …
Djokovic Wins 8th Aussie Open
We're late on our Aussie final commentary, but there's almost not much to say (which sounds ridiculous coming from me since I always have plenty to say). Still, Novak outlasted the up-and-comer who'd probably shot his load getting to the final. Remember, in this era of THE THREE GREATEST PLAYERS TO EVER PLAY, you'll have …
