The Thiem vs Kyrgios was epic. I felt old at the end of that, pushing 3:30am here on the American best coast. A little nap around 11:00pm did the trick! What did not work was the regular ESPN broadcast of the Australian Open. Great to see we have gender equality cutting across multiple platforms (media …
A Little Aussie Tennis
We've been watching tennis. Sure. I even saw a bit of the Kyrgios vs Coric dance at the Murray River Open which was happening while that ATP Cup crap was going on. And yes I saw some of that, like the Zverev Medvedev affair that looked like the WTF Final between Thiem vs Medvedev. A …
Holy Shit — LOL.
Please help keep me off Twitter where I guiltily, sometimes, drop-in for a look around at some crazy ass shit and some actual news, actually. But I mean . . . This is a look at the Republican party, at least much of its spectacularly bat-shit base: https://twitter.com/RexChapman/status/1356986367876730883?s=20 And yes I also got some clarity …
ATP 2021: Switch Flipped-On
(Photo by Quinn Rooney/Getty Images) Indeed, nothing, seemingly, for months and now everyone is playing everywhere, Down Under, other than Federer. I've caught a bit of this early ATP Cup tennis. Djokovic looks to be finding his form, winning big points, getting under people's skin, advancing his country's chances at glory. Thiem looked a little …
2020 ATP Finals, etc.
I figure I should put a wrap on what happened over the last couple of weeks, how the WTF played-out and so forth. My last post was typed and published in about 2 minutes' time, as Dominic and Daniil headed for a third and deciding set. Thiem should have finished that match in the second …
ATP Finals Championship
Regardless of what happens here in the third set, Medvedev's tennis is crap. This is what the modern game's main style theme has wrought. Dominic looks to be choking the match away. Maybe he survives. He should. Not a high level of play here at all, but for a few points here and there. Too …
2020 is Like a THBH
Sure this could be a reference to Nadal's run here at the WTF. But a few thoughts first on a few events since the fall French, when we last exchanged pleasantries. St. Petersburg went to the (once) hottest Russian Rublev. Despite his London loss tonight to Tsitsipas, he still might actually be the best Russian …
2020 to the End
Nadal will win the ATP finals. Why not. And this will be on Djokovic. Toodles.
GOAT: Beauty Flawed
This image says it all Flaw and beauty are in the eye of the beholder. That's how life works; that's how this men's tennis GOAT debate works. Imagine that: the knucklehead you're arguing with on Twitter about who is the GOAT is right. And so are you. 😉 Yesterday we looked at Nadal and Djokovic; …
GOAT: Flawed or Beautiful?
Following our latest GOAT vs GOAT in a major final, with the outcome having significant statistical and theoretical consequences that fuck with people's emotions, thoughts, and arguments, let's take a dive into this GOAT discussion that revolves around the Big 3. Remember that this is mainly a conversation had by fans who mostly come to …
