My gut says a final between Djokovic and Isner. But give me a couple of hours, a couple of beers to confirm. I was 3/4 on my QF picks but the riff I played on Federer's ping-pongy tennis, spot-on analysis you only find here, elevates my play to 100%. Addendum on Federer v Anderson He …

Ping-Pong Federer’s Gone
The ping-pongy tennis of Federer I previewed fully reared it's head in his loss today v Kevin Anderson. And I was half right that this would be a straight-set win for Roger: He had MP there in the third. But he's off, been off. The FH completely abandoned the 1-seed and the BH wasn't 2017-like …
2018 WB Quarter-finals Preview
We'll make this as quick as we can. Raonic v Isner. Raonic has been to this tournament's final, so clearly he has the experience (beating Federer in the SF that year -- 2016 -- doesn't hurt either even though the Swiss was ailing and about to forego the rest of the season). Isner is 3-1 …
2018 Wimbledon: the Double Edged Sword
Not a lot of writing these days because I'm not that interested in writing. The Wimbledon tennis has been fairly predictable and we have the big double-edged sword of the ATP tour riddling the warm air of this July fortnight. One edge speaks to the brilliant golden age of tennis that magically continues, the Federer, …
My Wimbledon Prediction
I haven't slept in days.
Timeout: Let’s Burn Some Bullshit
Because we're on the web (can't deny my blog is on the internet, unfortunately), we get more or less tossed-in to this bath-house of points-of-view, some of which fail on several levels. However, the positives of the internet, I'm afraid, outweigh the negatives, which, granted, is a vague generalization, but you and I know I'm …
Federer Routines Cilic for Eighth Wimbledon Title
You probably watched the final, at least heard about what happened or didn't happen. We could blame the blister, I guess. Quite unfortunate for the aspiring ATP threat with one major and one Masters. Cilic looked solid through the first four games, had the BP, missed, was broken in the next game, lost the first …

Wimbledon Men’s Final Storylines
There are several. Brainstorming these kinds of elements (adding to the overall perspective of the match) can help one see either a strategy or a theme that may help clarify the outcome - which is often coincidence. But there could be irony, logic, tragedy and beauty (emotion) that all come into play in such …
Cilic and Federer Set 2017 Wimbledon Men’s Final
The only tennis I missed this morning was the first set TB of Cilic v Querrey and the third and final set of Federer v Berdych. I replayed the final frame of Fedych and learned via news source that Cilic let slip a 4-1 lead in that first set TB. His ability to regroup and …

WB Eve of the Men’s Semi-finals
Roger I think covered it all here. He's been reading my blog. Sam is dangerous, so is Cilic and Berdych. I brought all of this to light in my QF preview and elsewhere. Also, Roger points-out, good luck to Novak and Andy getting healthy. In my Rant, I clarified how important player health is to …
