One of the great pities here: take this charade out of it, and it was a great week for tennis. Ash Barty and Rafa Nadal and Gael Monfils and Simona Halep and Amanda Anisimova all won titles. A real life serve-and-volleyer surfaced and cracked the top 75. Naomi Osaka returned with remarkably little ring rust. Canada won the ATP Cup. At least we think it did. You wouldn’t know for sure given the extent to which Djokovic hijacked the news.
The optimist would say that all publicity is good publicity and what great run-up this has been for the 2022 Australian Open. But I fear that the exit wounds from this debacle will run deep.
Does tennis continue on as a JV sport, ungoverned and ungovernable? Contrast how unprincipled this all is, compared to the WTA’s stance on Peng Shuai—checks notes—barely two months ago. Trying to do our part here, we’re going to try a Djokovic-free Mailbag. He’s taken up enough oxygen, easily 9 in 10 questions this week were about his rigamarole. Let’s zig where everyone is zagging and talk about the vaccinated cohort and players that actually won matches this week.
