Short, quick, spur-of-the-moment posts. Most often in-game commentary.
Novak Djokovic came close to crashing out of the French Open on Thursday–but not because of anything quarterfinal opponent Tomas Berdych did. After failing to convert a break point at 1-0 in the third set, Djokovic flung his racket behind him in the direction of a linesman. […]
For the second time this year, Dominic Thiem gave a point to an opponent despite the chair umpire calling for it to be replayed. The latest act of sportsmanship came during the third set of Thiem’s Rome opener against Alexandr Dolgopolov on Monday. […]
Nick Kyrgios lost to Kei Nishikori in the semifinals of the Mutua Madrid Open on Friday afternoon, but not before coming up with the shot of the tournament. Serving at 5-6, 30-0 in the opening set, Kyrgios produced a between-the-legs lob winner. […]
During first-round action at the Mutua Madrid Open earlier this week, Bernard Tomic tanked the last point of his match against Fabio Fognini by “attempting” to return serve with the handle of his racket. Not surprisingly, it resulted in a clinching ace for Fognini. […]
First it was a cat at the Istanbul Open, where Federico Delbonis hit the feline friend with a ball. Then it was a bat at the Mutua Madrid Open, where Leonardo Mayer came to the rescue. Yes, some unexpected visitors have invaded the clay-court swing. […]

Grigor Dimitrov won his opening match at the Istanbul Open on Wednesday, but not before delivering what will surely go down as one of the most impressively emphatic racket-smashes of the season. […]
Viktor Troicki got double-breadsticked by David Goffin 6-1, 6-1 during third-round action at the Miami Open on Sunday, but it was the Serb who stole the highlight reel. With the match already out of hand at 6-1, 4-0, Troicki jumped over the net while hitting a shot. […]
Dominic Thiem beat Gastao Elias 3-6, 7-5, 6-3, 1-6, 7-6(6) in a Davis Cup clash between Austria and Portugal on Friday, but not before displaying a rare fit of rage. After failing to convert a break point early in the final set, Thiem smashed his racket seven times before it crumpled to the extent that there was really nothing left to smash. […]
Alexandr Dolgopolov had arguably been the most impressive player at the Abierto Mexicano Telcel heading into semifinal Friday. He won the first set against Bernard Tomic 6-1, but the Aussie stormed back for a three-set victory. […]
