. . .Or: I sure nailed that one. This morning, I was somehow moved to sit down with my coffee and jot down the bona fide playbook, provide a sketch of the real map of this evening's men's U.S. Open Championship. Excerpt (still warm from this morning's printing press): But what is likely to happen today if …

Attitude and Form
As we prepare for this mammoth collision of great men's championship final tennis (congrats btw to the two Italian ladies who put-on quite a show. . .at the trophy ceremony! Great vibes. What a way to retire, going-out on top in the big apple), just a quick note on attitude and form. Novak will probably …
The Final

On the Eve of Hard Courts
The hard court season is upon us, with Washington D.C. beginning this week, followed by two consecutive ATP 1000s in Montreal and Cincinnati, and a final tune-up at Winston-Salem before we're dropped at the doorstep of the United States Open. Anticipation without a doubt builds for this final major of 2015. We know the stakes for the …
