Indeed, my last post yesterday adding a little after-thought to the AUS vs GBR tie preview turned-out to be spot-on (this addendum post was, in effect, a "Must Watch" indication). 🙂 First of all, I guess ATP rank dictated that Kyrgios play Norrie? Ouch, if that's the case because that will probably put Aussie doubles …
QF #1 GBR vs. AUS
As Kyrgios and Norrie are underway, I do want to remind myself, at least, that this Evans vs De Minaur match later tonight could be huge, assuming Nick takes care of the 52nd ranked Brit. Of course De Minaur has a home-court advantage and is a difficult out; none the less, if the, as I …
ATP Cup
ATP Cup Obviously you didn't hear much from me over the last year or so when all of this ATP Cup organization and Davis Cup modification was happening, no commentary from me on the work of the ATP, ITF and partners like Tennis Australia and Gerard Pique's Kosmos investment group. I love the team oriented …
2020
Just me or is there something ominous about 2020, numerically even? Of course, if we're paying attention to some of the worldly matters beyond our own immediate life and loved ones, and/or our favorite professional tennis player, we might see things a touch cataclysmic. I've been up to my neck in work (thankfully), up through …
The Rise of Off-season Mcshow
We need to get after some discussion on this dormant blog. There is a lot to discuss. I think the best way is to start with some commentary about each of the top three kings, legends, dinosaurs, aliens . . . whatever you want to call Fedalovic. We'll start tonight or tomorrow. Today's my birthday, …
Felicidades España
Not watching much tennis for in recent days, not much of the Davis Cup Finals, even, that concluded last week with Spain lifting that title for the sixth time, the first time since 2000. I definitely want to give a nice ovation to this team and their leader, not Sergi Bruguera although his competitive tennis …
Roger Dodger
This is an appropriate title given Federer's form today (his somewhat typical pattern in big matches we might call failing to rise to the occasion or simply missing big opportunities -- either with the match in general, or with certain key spots in a big match, which are often breakpoints); it's also an appropriate title …
Drop in Form — Live Blog
Have I made-up for my failed Nadal prophecy by predicting this emphatic drop in form? This drop is for real as Roger goes down 0-3 in the first set and looks, well, terrible. We’ll see. Update: some sparkling tennis later in that first set, especially as Federer tries to break back at 3-5, but no …
Stop
I've had to wipe the ass of a couple of readers that think I'm a Rafan! Lol. Stop. You all need a lesson in literacy. That post is a bastion of sarcasm. Away with your projections. All rise and salute the OHBH! The Djoker/Federer poem will have to wait for our assessment of Federer/Tsitsipas. I …
I am a Believer
Nadalism is a powerful ideology, so powerful that it can affect nature, the way events happen, the way life unfolds, the way people perform their daily activities. Nadal down-a-set corresponds with my prediction that he would somehow still defeat Tsitsipas. That happened. I have never been more certain of something than I am of Medvedev …
