So much of these off-court observations are conjecture. If anyone has more accurate information to clarify/correct an observation, by all means, comment. This kind of thing came up when I first started to blog about tennis in the spring and made a point of saying Lendl had, unfortunately for the Brit, left Murray. A reader …

BTO
More on the Ivan Ljubičić hiring. Again, Roger is just coasting to the finish, so any tennis decision or event of any kind including another major is all gravy. Just staying relevant at this point is a kind of dominance. As I have said earlier and often, if you are going to say he is as …
A Little Vinci and Some Raonic
In some ways, this is the best time of the year. Certainly the best weather (California). The off-season gives us time to recoup, reflect and reenergize our forces for another glorious calendar year. We often entertain some exciting agendas and goals the upcoming year seems excited to hear. Much of the world of our lives …

Two things have my attention right now (tennis wise), which I intend to write about; any comments here for insight …
Federer and the Field
I need to keep this short and as clear as I can. The last post meant to clarify this but it was lost. I'm afraid readers thought I was writing about the GOAT debate. No way. If anything, I was saying to all of the Djoker GOATers, slow your roll: you have much work to …
Where Do We Go from Here?
The WTF championship came and went, like a little bird flying overhead and dropping a little turd in our way. The analogy suggests the match happened too fast and really wasn't all that interesting, even left a bad taste in our mouths. I'm not talking about the Federer perspective; I'm referring to fairly predictable, uninspired …
London Final
Is the final surprising? Afraid not. Granted, Stan has beaten Roger before; we saw quite the demonstration of this at the FO QF 2015. Straight sets. Staminal was on a sort of mission then, mission impossible, mission cannibal, baseline missile mission, what-have-you. But beating Roger Stan has not done very frequently, at all. Trivia time: …
