Ramara

Tsitsi in 3, Ruud in 3.

Too soon to say, dear. Give him another year. (I personally wrote him off in 2015 and have since sworn off writing Rafa off. He’ll tell us when he’s done.)

And you are … impartial?

Heh, hope you didn’t bet much on that list! Big day for upsets.

Could it be that Djoker really does not like the chill, windy conditions? Maybe that’s some of the secret of his great success at AO compared to USO where he’s played well, but usually not amazing?

I am both! Thank you for the kind wishes and it’s gRRRRReat so see you posting here again.

Sympathies on Djoker’s tough loss today. He fought hard but just wasn’t his day. Weather certainly not to his […]

Indoor tennis is a new-fangled abomination! It has its place for exhibitions, like Laver Cup and the WTF and the new-fangled Davis Cup but it’s not *serious*. Real tennis is played outdoors.

As others have noted the GOAT is a mythical beast, living only in individual imaginations. At least until someone (and who on earth would have the right?) decides to award a goat-shaped trophy to someone. I love […]

Welcome back Monte Carlo! We’ve missed you!

Alcaraz in 2. He’s up and coming, Feli is old and going and clay was never his best surface.

Enjoy your look at the Top Ten minus the Big Three. Men’s tennis just ain’t what it used to be without them. Unpredictability hath its charms though.

Sorry, I have zero sympathy for the PTPA and whatever its aims are. They seem to think there’s some kind of “right to play tennis and be well paid for it whether or no anyone wants to pay to see you play or […]

Actually FAA is pretty good at making finals. But winning one seems to be a whole other thing for him.

Uhhh, Fritz over Karatsev? (No crazier than anything else this year)

Too lazy to enter a user name or too shy?

Harris it is! Very impressive run for him, especially coming through qualies. Liked what I saw. But toast for Rublev.

If they keep winning they’ll play against each other and you’ll HAVE to pick against one of them.

I like Fucsovic (weakness for big dark handsome men? :-)) but went with Rublev and Sinner.

Errr, Djoker and Rafa? Somehow this week feels like the Beginning of the End to me. Anyhoo I went with Tsitsi in Acapulco and Thiem in Dubai.

Meddy is resting on his new laurel and Djoker on his old laurels?

I don’t think it was losing to Bashy that bothered Fed. He just wasn’t recovering the way he’ll need to in order to get through enough matches to go deep in tournaments – and if he can’t do that again he will […]

W.T.H. happened this week?!?
