Stories like this make me so glad I have no friends.

I’m a pretty big Federer fan, but he won the AO and then beat Nadal twice more. He’s had a great, improbable run this year, and I would emphasize improbable.

Novak has needed to take two months off for about exactly a year now. Unless that happens, I don’t see him turning things around.

Props to the smooth camera work of Blue Hat Lady, quickly transitioning from player exits to fans fighting.

Fedal Choker I am sexist /generic tennis fan

CORRECTION: Mike & Mike’s Mike: Mike And Mike are “Fine” “Mike”

I think he’s played too much over the last two-three years, leading to burnout. The best thing he could do would be to skip a couple of majors.

I am proud that I have no idea how to pronounce this woman’s name. Yay avoidance of certain TV/radio!

I’d put Kyrgios as the favorite, with Nadal having the second-best odds.

Matt Leinart (same draft class) last year threw one former coach under the bus (Whisenhunt).

In junior high, I read Reggie Jackson’s autobiography because I was a huge fan. How truthful was Reggie in that book as far as describing his time with the A’s?

The original had gritty and cool vocals by T-Boz and nice horns. And in the ‘90s, it really felt like it was about something important—you’ll see it sometimes described as the first No. 1 song that refers to the AIDS epidemic.

More people are probably interested in how A-list women singers sound w/isolated vocals. I get that, hence the word “boring” in my post to describe the rock dudes.

When is this site going to publish the isolated vocals of all the boring white guys in bands?

Dude’s name is Canyon?

It almost certainly will be, if for no other reason than their seeds. I think Nadal is No. 6 in the world and Federer is No. 10. Some volatility there, for sure, so coin flip as to whether they’re going to be on the same side of the draw.

Or, you could not take a goddamn tennis press conference so seriously!

Coaches are weirdos.

I’m a dude, if it matters...

Neither side looks great.
