Yeah, Fed and Rafa should play doubles and tear up the tour. Not gonna happen though, except in Laver Cup maybe.

I’ve been pretty certain that it’s just not going to be possible to hold mass events any time soon in the US – and Laver Cup needs a crowd. RG could do without one if need be. Not optimistic about RG or USO […]

I believe they’re going to use Tennis World Tour. Lots of pro players play video games. Rafa played a lot when he was younger, mostly soccer and car racing. So did Andy Murray, Carlos Moya (Rafa said Moya was the […]

Interesting perspective on the #MMOPEN pic. Rafa looks taller than Isner.

Better than nothing. Maybe. They should give David Ferrer a wild card. He’s pretty good with video games. Juan Monaco too. He and Rafa could play doubles. Or Rafa and Marc Lopez.

Mental toughness = Rafa but clutch goes to Djokovic.

2019 Rafa with the legs he had in 2005! 🙂

C’mon, Ricky, build your perfect player not your perfectly awful player.

H’mm. Action a bit brief but plenty of commentary and some canned audience. Good job, Movistar! Could this be the shape of things to come? (Hope not, I’m still holding out hope for the Real Deal in the not […]

Don’t think so. Fed posted a video of himself playing solitary tennis in the snow a few days ago. Jimmy Connors played until age 43, I think, and Ken Rosewall was on the north side of 40 when he […]

The Big Three are not in that category. Neither is Andy Murray. They all want to play and the clock stops for no one. Unfortunately tennis and many, many other things do stop for coronavirus.

The Big Three have […]

My opinion is that ranking points will not affect Rafa’s decision on whether to play RG. Olympics and Davis Cup don’t award ranking points but Rafa’s always been an enthusiastic participant.

Yeah, right. Maybe we could watch them playing video game tennis over the internet on tv. At this point doesn’t sound that bad.

Or: separate locker rooms for each player. No ball kids! Players must wear gloves! […]

Proud of the tennis players who have stepped up. Roger and Mirka have donated 1 mil euros to Swiss families in need, Djokovic has offered 1 mil euros for ventilators for Serbia. Rafa and his basketball player […]

Will the pandemic stop in 2020? Until the world medical profession can cope with the number of coronavirus cases there will be no tennis because no government will allow mass gatherings, mass travel, etc.

It’s […]

God, by whatever name you call him, expects us humans to do our part. We were given brains and bodies for a reason. Coronavirus won’t “disappear in the blink of an eye” no matter how much praying you do. But if we […]

Be sure to watch the 5th set of the USO men’s final then. Really only one worth watching but it darn near killed me…

There’s talk about freezing the rankings until play resumes, but I don’t think anything has been decided.

Hon, with the way things are going I’m pretty sure the last thing on Rafa’s mind is how his tennis will be affected by moving RG to September. But I’m also pretty sure he’d rather play RG 2020 in September than not at all.

It’s mad, mad, mad, mad world.

@Sanju,

I’m sure the ATP will make an announcement about points at some, er, point. Until they do no one knows for sure.
