Okay, the website is malfunctioning, or Ricky wanted to check for content and retire some pages. But I hope the WTA page is back for AO.

I knew Carlos was injured, but I don’t remember when he tore his hamstring, and I know hamstring injuries can take a long time. Did Luka Pouille have a similar injury? He sure is taking a long time to come back.

Hi, amy! It’s Ricky! He could fix it if he wanted to. This blog is not what it used to be without the player page access, non-tennis forum, and my favorite, the WTA page. How do you think we could set up […]

I don’t know what to say except that his tirades are shameful. But I did not watch any live tennis, only the highlights of some matches. What happened to Carlos Alcaraz? Will he not play AO?

I was going to post my WTA bracket picks for Hobart and Adelaide 2 But I can’t get on the WTA page! Ricky, did you close down the WTA page, and if so, why?

Hi Big AL,

Excellent job picking W, F, and SFs for Pune😉 It is nice to see there is still a small group of us getting up for a bracket challenge! Life can be pretty depressing and sad these days, and it so […]

Happy New year!
Watching the new years’ eve show from London and thinking of all the Tenngrand tennis fans (and bracket fans) 🤗😋

Peace on Earth, no more War, and may Ukraine prevail in glory!

Yes, amy, his on-court tantrums are embarrassing! You are an astute observer of what tennis players need to fix, and I agree with what you observe about Andrey and Casper. (thank you for your post below)
I’m not […]

I have no idea, amy. It is painful to see him like that. Today I skipped watching the match and tuned in for the ending and trophy ceremony. Novak was charming and gracious in the end.

Casper Ruud was also […]

Hello, Amy,
Rublev can be horrible to watch, and I stopped watching quite early in the match yesterday. Tsitsipas can be awful to watch, and the list is long for the cringeworthy!

Casper Ruud is reliably a […]

Both are great guys. It is too bad only one is going to win.
Ruud gets the first break. Ruud has had a better year. (I think)

Hi, amy,
Novak was amazing to get it done in 2 sets (I could not help watching 2nd set TB). Tara and Stefan 😀

There is more, but I am done thinking about Fritz-O.

You know me well, amy. I agree with all of the points you make above.
😀

But I will skip the first match tomorrow. Maybe the second one, too, since I doubt Rublev will beat Tsitsipas.

I’m partial to the […]

That is right, amy. I am not happy about how long and hard Novak fought today. The match was exciting with Meddy showing up, but I like how Novak and Medvedev are with each other on the court; they have amiable […]

Amy, I guess Ricky is too busy to delete my post or any others that are questionable and open up the non-tennis forum. Bah humbug.

Are you excited that Rafa aced his way to beating Ruud? He just needs to keep […]

I want to reply to you, Amy, but I will wait to see if the non-tennis forum is accessible again.

The last time I posted on the non-tennis forum, I posted about the Idaho elections. I also posted perhaps too much detail, and it’s easy for me to feel guilty about it. If it was too much for Ricky to tolerate, I […]

I have no words for the amount of money they get. It should be an embarrassment. It’s the world we live in, amy. I don’t let myself dwell on the money and pretend they are more generous than greedy. Many of them […]

Hello Amy,
My mind is fuzzy, but I remember Sascha Zverev, and he seemed to have more trouble than his tennis injury. I hope he returns healthy and can play with a clear head.
Novak appears challenging to beat […]
