Juneteenth....Time for the Chase.

Hey, with my focus currently on Wimbledon, I will let you guys have at it with regard to the all-important (sarcastic) Juneteenth event this weekend. In my past, I had a policy of "NO Consolation = No Play Tourney", so I have never been a big fan of this event. Obviously, the biggest question this weekend will be whether or not a real person by the name of Patrick Chase shows up at Juneteenth as a spectator. I am in the camp that says no he will not as he does not exist other than in the typings of a wayward tennis player.

There is a yellow rose in Texas...

I think that lyric has something to do with Tyler. If not, too bad. Looks like more of the cast of regulars will be back in action this next tournament. The heat should finally be enough of a factor to impact the outcome of matches so that should throw some wrinkles into things. I am not going to bother making any predictions this time around, other than there will be at least one rain shower during the event, most likely on Friday or early morning Saturday. No, I am not getting into meteorology. Its based on what seemed to happen every time I went to that tournament in years passed. Remember to BYOB, it is Tyler after all.

And Now For Something Completely Different....

Not really, but I always liked that line from Monty Python, back in the good ole days. Before we turn to Tyler talk in a week or so, I think we should focus our efforts and the power of this blog (as if) to make this Green/Moser match happen. Not that there is any bad blood between the two or that the matchup is so compelling it would be a travesty for it not to happen, but just because. There are other matchups I would like to see happen. How about another Schmucker/Knutson showdown? Those are always tight.
