Djokovic v Struff We've been writing about Struff's stuff since clay began. In Barcelona, for instance, he sent-away Goffin in 3R and Tsitsipas in the R16 before losing to Nadal in the QF 57 57. The big German just beat Coric in a thriller and gets a shot at world #1 Djokovic next. The German's …

Is Nadal the Frog Prince?
I know, that doesn't quite work with my line-of-reasoning, but what does make sense in all of this? All kinds of strange plot twists: Christmas in May . . . or it's an early birthday present for Nadal? The Spaniard's major draws are the gifts that keep-on giving. He's blessed, kissed by the French princess …
GTFOH, Roland Garros.
This draw can go to hell. The fucking balls on this FO brain-trust to take the biggest most wretched dump they could find all over the world of men's tennis, simple common sense or any sane person's conscience. I read the ATP's "analysis" of the draw; they basically stuck a tennis racquet up their ass. …
What Did I Say.
In my last post, I pretty overwhelmingly said Nadal is a clear favorite going in to Roland Garros. This conclusion had hindsight and foresight reinforcements. Hindsight involves the guy's history at this major, on this surface in general. I have committed to developing this brilliant thesis that I call Nadalism. This is his cup-of-tea, his …
More RG Aftermath
As masterful as Nadal's tennis was in painting Undecima, we still have to maintain our core beliefs about the sport, which means generously provide our honest observations and commentary with regards to 2018 Roland Garros that might not blow so much rainbow and magic bunny beauty at my discerning readers (we have standards to uphold …
The End of Another Glorious Clay Season
I'm pretty nostalgic, which means I love to think about people, the history, the emotions, the possibilities in light of the realities. The best part of this blog remains the inseparable opportunities to reach people like you and try to weave together all of that jazz in terms of tennis (the people, the history, etc.). …
Rafa Wins RG #11
Another easy win for Nadal, acquiring his 17th major. Imagine if Thiem (really his coaches) had a clue, any semblance of strategy toward point construction, variety, playing percentages? Hitting the ball as hard as you can just won't cut it in Bo5. Sorry. Winning a set from Nadal has become truly mental. The Thiem coaching, …
Ornamental Regulation
Enforcing ATP rules at this point in a match, a tournament or career is corrupt. In this case, Rafa’s up 2-0 sets so the Dumusois clown is going to get “tough.” This is part of a joke, no? Why not just have a word with him after the trophy ceremony?
Damien Dumusois
This guy is a joke. Wasn’t a tough call to make. He had to OVER RULE the call. Sure, Thiem still manages to hold. But safe to say this is not going well for Thiem at 4-4. This is what we’re talking about. Garbage.
2018 Roland Garros Final
Irony has a way of really putting things into perspective. There are so many examples of irony in our lives; what a shame if one doesn't understand, nor can read the irony that surrounds him or her. Tomorrow's French Open final between Spain's Rafael Nadal and Austria's Dominic Thiem looks scheduled for the mid-afternoon, around …
