^^^ And this is why the results part is always a question mark.

Cheryl Murray commented on the post, Nick Kyrgios and the demise of the tennis villain 6 years, 3 months ago

He reminds me a tiny bit of Andre Agassi in the early years. Lots of flash, less substance.

Ya, I liked Borg, too. Still do, in fact. 🙂 The antics were ridiculous to me…but boy did I like Mac’s tennis. Such talent that man had. He might have had the best court sense I’ve ever witnessed. I never did […]

Wow. Nice work, Ricky.

Is Nick Kyrgios the successor to the tennis villain throne?

The sport of men’s tennis has a long, colorful history of producing villains. They are an essential ingredient in the success of the sport. Where […]

Cheryl Murray commented on the post, Nadal wins Rogers Cup, withdraws from Cincinnati 6 years, 3 months ago

Ricky’s right. Cincy is a poor tournament for Nadal even when he’s well-rested. He does much better in Canada for some reason. The withdrawal was probably the correct decision.

Shapo-Tiafoe is interesting. Good first rounder.

Cheryl Murray commented on the post, Toronto, a very Tsitsipas tournament 6 years, 3 months ago

The final was actually more competitive than I expected. Stefanos just called Rafa a beast on court and said he isn’t normal. LOL.

Cheryl Murray commented on the post, Toronto, a very Tsitsipas tournament 6 years, 3 months ago

i would imagine so, but Tsitsipas has made a liar of me in every one of his matches except the one against Thiem. I’m not picking this time. haha.

Cheryl Murray commented on the post, Toronto, a very Tsitsipas tournament 6 years, 3 months ago

I think some of it was luck. I can’t explain the Zverev match. It was so monumentally bad from both players. Tsitsipas was good during the Djokovic match. The way he played made Novak uncomfortable. Same with […]

Cheryl Murray commented on the post, Djokovic favored at U.S. Open, with Federer and Nadal not far behind 6 years, 3 months ago

I wonder if this is still true, based on Djokovic’s rather unceremonious exit from Toronto.

Thoughts?

Stefanos Tsitsipas, the new ATP darling.

Once in a great while, I watch a tennis match and have the niggling feeling that I’m experiencing a changing of the guard. It happened at the 2001 Wimbledon, when Roger […]

I think Rafa is going to be too much for Tsitsipas. What a story, though!

The crowd is in LOVE.

Stefanos Tsitsipas pocketed another unlikely upset in Toronto with a win over No. 4 seed and Wimbledon finalist Kevin Anderson 6-7(4), 6-4, 7-6(7).

If Tsitsipas’s popularity was on the rise before, it is […]

And this, friends, is how a star is born. The way he held his nerve after running out of challenges is the stuff of champions.

The crowd is absolutely enchanted with him.

Cheryl Murray commented on the post, Nadal staves off Cilic, into Toronto semifinals 6 years, 3 months ago

Yup. He was like “I just wanted him to start to think”. Nadal doesn’t get enough credit for how tactically he plays.

Rafael Nadal shook off a dismal opening-set performance to dispatch No. 6 seed Marin Cilic 2-6, 6-4, 6-4 in the quarterfinals of the Rogers Cup on Friday night.

Cilic began the match with the kind of aggressive […]
