Great effort by the Old Goat! But WTH was NBC thinking? I mean, if you hope to sell streaming subscriptions based on a tennis match you really need to let people know that it exists. I got a laugh this morning […]

Competitive is the word for it! TC isn’t showing Roger’s match yet, but they’re still promising to do it. Maybe they have to wait until it’s over to get it started. Dunno. Anyway the Old Man of the Alps is putting […]

Agreed. Well, I can wait and watch Roger later. I’ve been tracking it on the RG app – which I like a lot! Very close so far but hopefully Roger will pull it out – and have a little something in the tank for […]

TC is going to show a replay of the Federer match at 6 pm edt today. Lord knows why they did not carry it live. I checked NBC and TC’s alternate (thanks so much, Rupert Murdock. NOT!) but nada.

Unbelievable […]

But Djoker hasn’t played anyone who’s anyone!

I saw only the last few games of Rafa’s match. Took me half an hour to recover, lol. Looked to me like Norrie has a pretty good return.

Afraid Struff liked the Alcaraz kid too…a little too well…

No, not under roof unless it rains.

Maybe the night matches are for the Euro TV audiences? Maybe just because they can. /shrug

Tsitsi in 3 – 4 if Isner manages to win a tb.

Zverev in 3 – 4 if he remembers this is A Slam and he is therefore obligated to play more than 3 sets.

Go get ’em, Championx13 (and counting)!

And, oh yeah, happy birthday, dear Rafa!

Kohli did it! Congrats to him. 🙂

Happy-for-both-wins! Vamos!

Even Brit commies cannot have thought that Rafa was going to lose to Popgun in the first round at RG!

The American commies were delighted when Popgun showed some signs of life in the 3rd set but I think they […]

Popyrin has game all right – big serve, big groundies – but he’s also got a *really* bad case of Fear of Winning and of only winning a set v Nadal at RG. Totally lost the ability to play. Lucky for me – and Rafa, […]

“If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.” Osaka has left the kitchen, at least for now. It’s her decision. She’s a free agent. Maybe it’s better for her fragile mental health if she doesn’t play […]

Bah, every year at RG always seems to be the “most important” for Rafa. If he didn’t fold last year he won’t this year!!! He can win or he can lose but the pressure won’t get to him.

Having a different opinion = “putting someone down”? I don’t think so. Federer is clearly not yet match tough. Playing best of 5 isn’t desirable for him. On the other hand he can hope for an easy first 3 rounds at […]

Disagree re 5 sets, but hopefully Fed will get a better draw. Andujar in the 1st round was nasty.

Experience is not conditioning! Roger needs matches, needs to get match-tough. If he gets a halfway decent draw at RG he should get some there. It’s not like he’s expecting to win the thing.

Bah, I’d take Jolly Old Roger against this lot any time and twice on Sunday. (Well, maybe not twice! I’ll leave the two-a-days to that young pup Djoker. :-))
