LOL! My guess is that Djokovic is “Goliath” and “David” is he who will “slay” him. (Hopefully by defeating him at the USO, not by actually hitting him with a stone from a slingshot. I do NOT want some crazed fan […]

Amen to that!

Let’s face it, the GOAT debate is toxic as are overzealous tennis fans who confuse virtue with sport excellence.

I am unaware of any official or body in charge of anointing a GOAT for tennis. No other sport has such a thing either. It’s going to continue to be a matter of opinion/argument. I’m a little puzzled by this […]

Bah, humbug. Roger did face actual competition.

I watched the first service game, fast forwarded a bit then gave it up. THIS is a Wimbledon final?!?! More like an introductory clown act. Sad day for tennis. If I decide I want to watch some tennis I’ll fire up […]

Really sorry, Eugene. I haven’t seen any after match interviews but I’m guessing that age/rehab finally caught up with the Great One. But if Fed couldn’t beat Hurk, he wasn’t going to beat the Djoker.

I didn’t […]

I don’t think Fed is planning his retirement party yet. He likes playing tennis, especially if he can do it without quarantine. He likes having his family along but as he’s pointed out, you can’t keep four kids […]

Fed may get to the final, which would be one hell of an accomplishment under the circs. But I really can’t see him taking Djoker down. And Fed has the tougher draw BY FAR.

Data doesn’t play. People do.

One of my fave moments was JMac saying he was very surprised that Rafa “allowed” Toni to coach FAA. Rafa would be very surprised to hear that Toni needs his permission to do *anything*. Toni would be equally surprised!

Did Djokovic say he was raised by wolves? That actually explains a lot…

Time to surrender! I knew Med would win when Cilic went down in the 3rd set. Hey, he almost took Nadal out in 5 at USO 20. Cilic ain’t no Nadal.

RC, If you want some good tennis analysis, try Gill Gross on YouTube! He’s unbiased and really excellent. No glitz, no smart aleck stuff. Never a pro player (high school, I think) but a real student of the game. […]

@RC and NNY,

Yup, I feel the same way about Andy.

No brackets for me, especially not the WTA! I know when I’m licked before I start.

Federer? Hon, it would take a hatful of miracles for him to win Wimbly this year. He’d have gone out to Mannarino if the guy […]

We shall see. I’m assuming Djokovic will win because I really can’t see anyone else winning it. Meddy, maybe, he’s always capable of surprises, both good and bad. It’s just not like the women’s side where […]

I just couldn’t watch Andy playing this guy! But he won in the 5th. He *cannot* keep playing 5 setters though! Grats to him and to the fans who managed to last through it.

Makes me think of Rafa in his 2013 […]

Aaaaarrrggghhhh! Andy just snatched defeat from the very jaws of victory. Serving for the 3rd set a break up…and disaster struck! Good luck the rest of the way, Muzz!

Well, Tiggy isn’t always wrong, well, not quite.

Short of a DQ or major injury I think Djoker cruises to #20 in 2 weeks. Doubt he loses a set short of the semis.
