That would work and also get the ticket sales up I think!

Sad to see Nadal go out so early. Diminotaur is no slouch and can give anyone trouble on a given day. Nadal can’t play with the same grinding top spinny style at this age. He needs to keep the points shorter and so needs to flatten his forehand more and keep the balls deeper more. I watched a...

Sinner back to being the best player in the world and a deserving #2!

Really surprised by Dimitrov! He is playing like a Younger Fed!! Way to go for a three set win!! But I think the end of the road is here against Sinner who is on another level! Still you never know!

Dimitrov wins 6-2,6-4 despite the Alcaraz comeback. Alcatraz’s spotty serve came back while serving to stay in the match. Good win by Dimitrov but the problem is that he is old now and will not be able to sustain this level in the next match and will probably lose.

Finally after holding a vital service game at 1-4, Alcaraz breaks at love 3-4 with serve to come!

Alcaraz has no serve !! After double faulting several times he keeps banging the ball into the net. No life in his movements. Horrible drop shots also slamming into the net.

Alcaraz is being thrashed by Dimitrov, 6-2, 4-1

Alcaraz has momentum going into Miami! But he hasn’t done well in the Florida atmosphere in the past. Sinner will be fired up. Should be a great event even without Nadal and Djoko!

Djoko skipping Miami. Nadal too?? Maybe another classic Sinner-Alcaraz matchup looming this time in the final hopefully!!

Amazing play by Colonel Alcaraz though, he really went for the jugular after he saw he was getting in Sinner’s head. Sinner’s fall and subsequent hand getting hurt didn’t help matters any for him either! On to Medved or Paul

Something was wrong with Sinner’s left leg. He looked deflated after he reached for his left hamstring with his hand in the second set!

Best part of watching matches on tennis tv is not having to listen to the gramblings of the two McEnroe brothers. They drive me nuts with their boring analysis!!

They should come up with a device ( a screech aid) to help keep the quiet for players who screech.

She can hit shots without grunts, there are probably other more mysterious and non mysterious reasons for this! It’s an added screech not an involuntary one I believe. Seles started this trend of excessive noise and players just have embraced and adopted this extra on court behavior !

What’s with Bees suspending an entire match!!? Unbelievable!! What the heck are the organizers of the event doing? Snoozing on the job??

Had to go back and revisit the Goran Wimbledon win in 2001 in an article on the web. The final was played on Monday but the match that got stretched to two days was the semis between Goran and home favorite Tim Henman. Constant rain delays the first day. Goran won the championship being unseeded...

Yes! How could I miss that one. In one of the finals he was in the driving seat but choked! Other notable chokes were Guillermo Coria vs Gaston Gaudio at French open final where I think Gaudio clawed back from two sets down. And Novotna vs Graf st wimbledon final snd Hingis choking and...

Rafter had two heartbreaking losses, one where he choked vs Sampras at 2000 (led by a set and 4-1 lead in the second) and I think in 2001 he played Goran and it went the distance and there were several rain delays and match got stretched to maybe two days? Can’t remember. I gotta throw in one...

Oh Rafter’s loss vs Sampras at one final I think, was it Wimbledon? I can’t remember. Rafter was a good guy. Remember watching those matches and taping them on VHS. I had a box full of tennis tapes!

I am taking a long vacation so keeping the call outs to a minimum as long as health permits. But I did think once about calling in. Got ESPN+ only in the second week and watched the pivotal djoko- sinner match and one other match. Alcaraz lost too early for my liking although I read that he...

Among grandslam heartbreaks of recent memory (post Mac era), I’d rank, 1. Goran’s losses at Wimby finals or semis 2. Lendl’s losses to Becker on grass 3. Fed’s losses vs Nadal and Djoko ( especially the Wimby finals losses to both guys) 4. Medved’s losses 5. Agassi losses vs Sampras

He is 1-5 is slam finals from what I read! Brings back Goran level of sadness and despair!

Was not fortunate enough to watch the fantastic match because I had to get up at 6:30am to go to work. But what I gathered from the article on atptour page is that Sinner found and flipped a switch late second set and from there it really didn’t matter what Medvedev was doing at the other end...

The main problem with women’s tennis is that the racquet technology and the fast balls are beyond their capacity to handle with whatever physical or mental abilities they have. That’s why most points are decided on the inability of one player to handle this and produce an error. It’s simply...
