Obviously, I'm out. I was out before the shit really started to hit the fan during this latest China-is-still-ruining-the-world-fuck-fest. This virus, as I said in a post or two ago "has everyone disturbed, confused, not-giving-a-shit, panicking, and getting ill and dying. Just horrific stuff." I said that on February 18. That's like me saying Medvedev …
On Medvedev and Clay
And on the BH, by extension -- so you know where this is going. Medvedev and Thiem both lost in the last day or so. I am putting Medvedev's loss on him, Thiem's on that awful surface. Ha ha. How far does honesty really get you? I have talked for eons on my criticism of …
Commentary En Route
I do want to still expound on Federer down under and the loss of Kobe (just a short piece I'll connect to tennis, as if that's even necessary), as well as the Rotterdam loss from Medvedev (who has NextGen star Sinner next in Marseille), but I'm both working and daily dumbfounded by so much madness …
Djokovic Wins 8th Aussie Open
We're late on our Aussie final commentary, but there's almost not much to say (which sounds ridiculous coming from me since I always have plenty to say). Still, Novak outlasted the up-and-comer who'd probably shot his load getting to the final. Remember, in this era of THE THREE GREATEST PLAYERS TO EVER PLAY, you'll have …
2020 AO Final: Djokovic vs. Thiem
I don't have enough bloody time to get into this right now, but what exactly is there to get into? We are going to hopefully see a great match, with a couple of turning-points, shifts in momentum, etc. Time to watch tennis. A straight-set clinic from the Serb would be a let down. To be …
Quick Note on Zverev/Thiem Before a Nap
Wish I could write my full response to the Djokovic win over Federer last night; I have a lot to say about that "scene." Obviously, the result is the least of our concern. I want to meditate on the Federer legacy; this is a bit complicated since I have already begun work on said legacy …
Zverev vs. Thiem in SF #2
We split on these last QF match predictions. If I was told I had to come-up with my "sure bet" from yesterday, I would have leaned Wawrinka to take-out Zverev. The Thiem win is as big as the drama that unfolded in that later match. Holy shit. A little bit on this Wawrinka vs. Zverev …
Aussie Open QF Part II
In Part I, yesterday, we had the bottom half of the draw get us to Djokovic vs. Federer. We should be thrilled with this match-up, but we know Federer is somehow, with his groin, not at all 100%. Watching a bit of this match (unwatchable early on when he looked simply terrible, which I'd seen …
Ding Dong: Aussie Quarter-finals
So, how'd we do in those R16 matches? Nadal/Kyrgios: "For the sake of the Kyrgios’ recent rise in character, let’s see him advance, though even a great match would help him in this greater cause. #bushfire" I figured he'd lose exactly how that played-out. I didn't even watch much of this match. We were past …
Melbourne R16 — Here We Go!
Nadal vs. Kyrgios I should save this for last, but we're going from top to bottom. This is exactly what we wanted when we saw the draw. Khachanov's stock has dropped and Kyrgios has made the 4th round of a major, set to play Nadal with whom there's been past drama and decent competition, dating …
