Truth. 🙂 It’s what masters events SHOULD be like, since the draw isn’t huge like at the Slams.

Yup. Today is going to be a great day of tennis.

Novak Djokovic leads a strong field at the Western and Southern Open, usually in Cincinnati but played without fans in New York City this year.

I mean, Cincy really is pretty damn good, all things considered. […]

Cheryl Murray commented on the post, Djokovic's disastrous lockdown culminates in COVID breeding ground at Adria Tour 4 years, 4 months ago

Yeah, it’s a complete disaster on about 4 different levels. The health disaster is obvious, but it’s a PR nightmare, too. He dug a nice, deep hole for himself.

Yes, I just saw that. I don’t think he’s going to apologize. He seems to be sticking to his line that he was in compliance with Croatia and Serbia’s policies. You’d think it would have pinged on his radar that […]

Cheryl Murray commented on the post, The Djokovic hate is as unfair as it is inevitable 4 years, 8 months ago

Lendl and Sampras were indeed both boring, but I remember that Sampras was generally well-supported with fans. Lendl wasn’t popular, but people seemed to be more ambivalent about him rather than actively disliking […]

I don’t think it has a thing to do with the fact that there isn’t enough love left for Djokovic. There are lots of “other” players people manage to like in addition to Federer and Nadal. Thiem, Schwartzman, […]

Cheryl Murray commented on the post, The Djokovic hate is as unfair as it is inevitable 4 years, 8 months ago

Ricky is correct. At any given tournament, unless there is a very large Serbian contingent, you can pretty much count on the fact that most of the people watching would rather he lose. I wasn’t joking about Indian […]

After more than a decade of competing at the top of tennis, Novak Djokovic is still searching for crowd support.
