Kind of lazy on my part…

Twenty-two years.
Twenty-two years had to pass in order to have a Grand Slam Champion not named Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal or Novak Djokovic. Keep in mind the count is still going for a Grand Slam not to feature a finalist not named Federer, Nadal or Djokovic (who made it to the Australian and Wimbledon, but fell short on both occasions).
Congratulations to Jannik Sinner. I watched him play five years ago and I knew he was going to win the US Open one day.

Our first season just ended last weekend, and what a run it has been.
Starting with an 0-9 record until we were finally able to win our first court, we kept practicing, learned from our opponents, built a few strategies, all of which led us to start winning courts left and right. We even beat the #1 seed 4-1!
In the end, the newcomers, the new kids on the block, the underdog team, the Tennis Knights ended on third place without even having it as a goal. My co-captain and myself are very proud of what the team achieved and will be looking for more improvements in the next season.
Of course, special thanks to each of our players: Chet, Chris, Furkan, Harish, Jaren, Karthik, Kyle, Mark, Naveen, Swapnil, and our co-captain Arvind.
See you all next season!

What a great experience it has been so far!
We started losing nine matches in a row, which was disheartening to say the least. However, we noticed that we were not being mopped out of the courts, and the guys we were losing to in fact were not any better than us. They were beating us with their experience. With that, we made a few adjustments while keeping our heads up.
Then one of our players came back from a set and a break deficit, to clinch our first win. This proved to us that we could in fact beat anyone. The following match we won two out of five courts.
Long story short, the league has been going great!

What an amazing performance by Novak Djokovic. He definitely put to rest the debate of the greatest tennis player of all-time.
…and remember, this I say without being a Djokovic fan.
After much thought and several years of consideration, a friend and I decided to join and start a USTA Team.
Our plan is to start with our closest friends and expand the team bringing players with similar interests of getting out there, enjoying the experience of meeting new opponents.
Let’s see what happens!

After years of recreational playing and non-competing, I decided to start competing again. I joined a couple of leagues, as well as two tournaments… singles and doubles both.
Here we go!
What an amazing match! Without a doubt, we just witnessed the best final match in all World Cup history.
Congratulations Argentina!
Let the fun begin!
I have absolutely no idea who is going to win this world cup.
I feel this is the first time in all World Cup history, that there isn’t a single favorite team above the rest. We do have a few strong teams that you would probably consider safe bets to win over the rest, but not by much though.
The sport has globalized so much, that I believe this World Cup will be filled with surprises and upsets. Maybe a small unknown and unheralded team may be even to make it to the late stages of the tournament, like the semifinals.
Anyway, below I will list my predictions for this world cup:
Good luck!
One year ago, moments after defeating Tstisipas in five sets in the third round of the 2021 US Open, I told my dear friend Carlos Luis Vargas: “This kid Alcaraz will win a Grand Slam in 2022.”
Congratulations Carlos Alcaraz!
