There are a few more thoughts on London and 2016. We could talk about 2016 in light of the return of Del Potro, Roger and Rafa's difficulties, the Stanimal, Pouille, Zverev, et al., and we will! But we're focusing here on the tour's top two, the guys that just played that whale of a final in London …

Now What, Novak?
The WTF final turned-out to be the coronation of Andy Murray. Well done. For me the match was completely psychological, mental, played on character - who's got it, who's struggling in that department. Andy wasn't necessarily brilliant, but he was solid and did not shy from those big moments of the match. Lendl was in …
The 2016 World Tour Finals Final – Preview
We have the most anticipated, most appropriate final tomorrow to decide not only the World Tour Finals Champion, but the year-end men's top tennis player in the world for 2016. The match-up is set and this is the first time we've had such a consequential WTF final, with a huge championship at stake, and world #1 …
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 …
The 2016 World Tour Finals
I've already commented on how lopsided the groups are in this tour finals tournament. Murray opens with Cilic tomorrow, a critical match for Murray if you ask me. Having to play Stan and/or Kei with a loss would be bad news for the Brit. In the end, Murray should get through to the SF. As much …
WTF Group Draws: WTF?
This is not a joke. These are the groups for the up-coming World Tour Finals in London. John McEnroe Group Andy Murray Stan Wawrinka Kei Nishikori Marin Cilic Ivan Lendl Group Novak Djokovic Milos Raonic Gael Monfils Dominic Thiem For really obvious reasons, this is pretty stunning. Word is that Raonic might pull-out because of …
Andy Murray v Novak Djokovic
Murray made the finals in Paris (and is in the process of beating John Isner), putting himself into position to claim his 3rd Masters of the year, seventh ATP title overall. Djokovic lost to Cilic in the QF, so he's no longer #1 in the world (Novak had to make the finals to maintain his #1 ranking). Novak …
Vienna: the Calm Before the Storm
Just a quick look at this 500-level event with some interesting match-ups and rankings ramifications. We have all seen or heard the scenarios for Andy's ascension or Novak's drop, depending on how one looks at this. Novak, because of burn-out, etc., is off until Paris. Andy goes this week in Vienna. I listened to a …
