Dimitrov-Wawrinka is a KILLER first-round match.

Typical. 🙁

😀

I’m going to be in New York for mid-Saturday and Sunday. I REALLY hope the bottom half plays second – I would LOVE to see Federer-Kyrgios.

Bummer for Fed getting Kyrgios AND Nole. Nice draw for Nadal.

Haha. These exchanges are funny. 😀

Indeed, I am serious. Err…Tserious. Federer’s been pushing for it, apparently. See this article on Forbes.com (where Ricky is quoted):

Yup. I remember those days from before. VERY hard on the top seeds – I imagine it’s better for the tournaments to sell early round tickets.

Otherwise known as some juicy early-round matches. It’ll prepare everyone for the 16-seed draw coming in 2019.

The 25-32 section contains some very interesting players.

I’m taking Edmund.

I agree that he was competitive against Rafa in Toronto, but I never felt as though Rafa was in danger of losing that match (I was there). Federer? Yes. And yeah, Stan is back on form and whoever gets him in their […]

Federer’s serve. What a weapon!

Indeed. You know that I try to avoid feeding Ricky’s ego…but he’s right WAY more often than any other tennis writer I know. I’m completely serious. I sometimes check the betting odds – he’s WAY more accurate […]

Oh, give it a rest., would you?

FedGoat in 2.

I’m going with Federer and Cilic. I don’t think Federer is playing very well, but Goffin doesn’t have the kind of game that usually bothers Federer much.

And while I’m surprised by it, Djokovic just isn’t […]

And now that I think about it, the fact that he didn’t say it TO Stan but loudly enough to be sure he’d hear it later is even MORE mean, because he didn’t even use it as leverage in the match – he just said it to […]

Right. I knew I didn’t have it quite right. LOL.

I dunno. I’ve seen the clip. It’s hard to believe he didn’t mean to be heard? He finished the statement with something like “Sorry about that, mate”.

As I said in the article, I’m not against a player like NK […]

Agreed, Ramara. It has never EVER been about effort with La Monf. His body is just prone to injury.

I wasn’t able to access the video, but the article was great. I’d forgotten that Krickstein beat Agassi that year. I remember Dick Enberg repeating “James Scott Connors” over and over instead of just calling him […]

Well, it became a shell of its former self. The issue, of course, isn’t Davis Cup itself, it’s that the top players are completely jammed up all season long – I don’t see how tacking on yet ANOTHER thing at the […]
