Adios, Rafa. What a hell of a career.

Yup, missing him, and Fed, a lot!

Nadal played Djokovic 60 times over an 18-year period, but it is his rivalry with Federer which was the heartbeat of his career.

I love and appreciate their Wimbledon final battles, but these are right up there as well...

Sinner dominated the Nitto ATP championship. 1st Italian, 1st guy to do it without dropping a set since the 80's. Nice season ender for the #1.

Will probably mandate using a super oversized racquet and kids practice balls.

Yup, Sinner's having a pretty good run right now!



I think I'd still take Prime Pete indoors.

Nick Kyrgios exits the AO in the first round, denying fans worldwide of his hilarious temper tantrums for the next two weeks.

Also, Djoker takes 4 sets to get over to the 2nd round? Maybe its just me, but he seems closer to the cliff than ever.

2 American men in the AO Quarters and 3 American women in the Quarters.

It's been forever and then some since I can recall that happening in a Major.

Some things however to still be the same, like Djoker having beef with someone in the media and then making it a sideshow that he invariably ends up being the victim of. I hope Alcaraz makes quick work of him.

Sinner, a beast. Definitely top of the heap now (head and shoulders above the field) and it will be interesting to see how much of an effect Cahill has on the dude once he takes off at the end of the season.

Keys, played so ballsy and is a great story. Damn, she is so well spoken, funny and without pretense. A great new slam owner.

It was cool to see quite a few guys ranked below 100 have some career matches. All in all a very enjoyable slam to watch even if the canucks sucked. Nice to see Djoko starting to really fade and very very unlikely he has the stamina/body to get to the end of a slam now. Fuck that antivax whack job.

Just watched the Alcaraz/Hurkacz semi from Rotterdam. Possibly one of the best 3 setters I've seen in a decade if not 2. If Alcaraz plays like that against Djoko (or anyone for that matter) next time he will destroy. Good on Hubie for giving Carlos a run.
