This story is significantly lacking in details about Jordan Thompson’s Amazing Tennis Mustache.

Isner won anyway.

You forgot the best story on his path in this tournament: he smashed so many racquets here that he was down to a single one (1!!) for the final. Tennis pros change racquets very regularly during the course of a match, and the fact that he was gonna try and get through the final with a sole functional one was basically…

This dude’s career, lord. Kyrgios could retire after a 1st round loss at this year’s US Open or end up winning half a dozen slams and I don’t know what would surprise me more at this point

I’d pay for a Dana White vs. Cyborg fight....

Boris Johnson’s favorite part about EuroLeague basketball is watching Europeans get punished for traveling

Like most, I only watch the majors, but I’ve always enjoyed Novak’s stoicism and perseverance. And when he tried to come out of that a little bit I appreciated the effort. I don’t get why anyone roots against this guy. Rooting FOR Federer, sure... not loving Djoker, sure... but rooting against Djokovic seems ignorant…

When Federer had the two match/championship points, I couldn’t help thinking they were also quite possibly GOAT points. A win by a 37-year-old Federer against Djokovic in his prime at Wimbledon really strengthens Fed’s GOAT argument, not to mention increases his major lead against Djokovic to 6 (21 vs 15), which might…

To me, Fed is still the GOAT for now, but Novak is already the most complete tennis player to ever walk the planet. If you wanted to design a champion’s game from scratch, you would end up with something close to Novak Djokovic. He just has so few weaknesses at this point - a brick wall, as you put it. And it’s not…

I have been reading a lot of articles about the most recently concluded 2019 Wimbledon Gentlemen’s Finals, and I appreciate that your article talked more about Novak’s win rather than his opponent playing well despite his age. I am a solid Novak fan. I wanted and actually expected him to win this. I did pray a lot,…

This is wonderfully done, Giri.

Peak Form Novak beats anyone ever. Fact. 

This is one of those cases where being a somewhat casual tennis fan helps. In the decade since I became aware of Djokovic I never really paid attention to any of the off court drama that had him labeled a “heel.” When I caught his matches on occasion I’d see some of the mugging but always thought it came across as in…

“If Novak claims the slam title, it will be because he has a six-and-a-half year advantage on Federer.”

I’ve had Djokovic ahead of Nadal for awhile now. Djokovic is better on hard court, grass and indoors than Nadal. He will probably end up with the most weeks as #1. He’s won every Masters title and the tour final five times which Nadal hasn’t even won once. And during 2011 when both were at their peak, Djokovic…

Djokovic could lose in the first round of the US Open and this still might be the greatest season he ever authored. Between the absolute destruction of Nadal in Melbourne and withstanding what should have been a straight sets loss to Federer playing his A+ game on freaking Center Court at Wimbledon, I think it’s time…

Giri should have wrote it

That’s grade-A bullshit. Djokovic beats the current GOAT on his home court essentially in front of a hostile crowd, staving off multiple match points, but Federer gets more greatness points simply by playing well at an advanced age? Give me a break. If Djokovic ends up with more slams, then he’s the GOAT. Period. He…

Dear Gabe and Deadspin,

“Weird arm man” indeed. He puts SO MUCH bend into his arm the wrong way, that he gets such a crazy whip from the racket right at the right moment of impact with the ball. That’s crazy.
