Starting at the top in the Murray quarter, everything looks pretty status quo. I did see a bit of Murray's match v Marchenko and whether it was the Ukrainian's form, the heat or that lack of precision in Murray's game, the No. 1 seed had his hands full. I'm going to say this is more …

The 2017 Australian Open Draw
Let's get it on. Murray: In the top half of the draw, the Scot has a tough route for his quest to win a fourth major and first Australian Open. Here's how his quarter should play-out. He opens with Illya Marchenko, a Ukrainian who made the AO 2nd round in '10 and '11. Murray gets a breather in R64 and …
Murray and Djokovic Colliding in Doha
Doha has gone according to plan although as I tuned-in today Djokovic limped into a 2nd set TB with Verdasco, already down a set. The TB started-off and Djokovic proceeded to go down 2-5 on a point that looked very much like a guy throwing-in the towel. He then faced five MPs. Five. Verdasco has …
2017. . .Here We Go
It's December 31, 2016. I have a couple of weeks to dial-in some ATP action as the athletes get their shits together for some 2017 tour action and subsequently some 2017 Australian Open form! Hope you all had a great holiday/are continuing to celebrate whatever holiday you're all about. Let's take a quick look back …
WTF SF: Weathering the Storm
Andy weathered the storm early from Stan. Advanced. We saw this coming a mile away: Murray v Raonic Djokovic v Nishikori The fact that Novak has only played a couple minor talents in getting to his SF seems pretty good for him. This is like the 2016 USO, where he had a Challenger Tour draw. …
WTF SF Outlook
We have a final match still to play in the RR stage of the WTF, but the SF are starting to shape-up and look pretty interesting. Murray and Djokovic have handled their business in their first two matches. I have seen just a bit of the tennis, catching some of the Murray v Nishikori today …
Paris Masters Preview
The table is set for a solid final ATP tour finish in Paris this coming week as the BNP Paribas Masters kicks-off tomorrow. We'll take a look at the draw in minute but first let's re-hash what happened in Vienna and Basel last week, two ATP 500 tournaments with decent fields that crowned champions earlier …
These Draws
Sure enough, Klizan was a tough R1 and Murray needs to comeback and take care of Simon in order to play the awaiting Isner. We're talking here about the bigger picture. Murray has a tough top half. I looked at his draw yesterday: Klizan-Simon-Isner-Thiem and the winner of the garbage bottom half (sorry). I guess …
The ATP Future in St. Petersburg and Metz
We had a very interesting couple of finals in two ATP 250 tournaments last weekend. The reigning U.S. Open champ, call him the sport's current champ, Stan Wawrinka, was on display along with three of the future of the men's game. No question these three youngsters (Zverev, Thiem and Pouille) along with Kyrgios, seem fairly capable …
Follow-up to My “Novak is Doomed” Article
Did any of you think that I was saying in that article a few days ago that Novak would never win another major? That THAT was the end of Novak in Flushing Meadows at the hands of Stan the Man? Well, that's not exactly what I meant. i really wanted to underscore how big of …
