      Novak Djokovic wins French Open with epic comeback over Stefanos Tsitsipas

      June 15, 2021 /

      After two sets, it looked like Novak Djokovic might be finished. After a grueling wins in the semis over Rafael Nadal, Djokovic looked sluggish as Stefanos Tsitsipas dominated the action.

      But then he dug deep and everything flipped. Djokovic stormed back to win in five sets, giving him his nineteenth grand slam title, right behind Nadal and Roger Federer who sit at 20.

      The big three era will go down in history as the greatest in tennis history. You can make an argument that these are the three best players in tennis history, even if you argue about the order.

      But now Djokovic may be on the verge of surpassing his two iconic rivals. At 34, Djokovic is poised to surpass both Nadal and Federer in grand slam titles, and he has winning records against both.

      Chris Paul and Suns sweep the Nuggets

      June 15, 2021 /

      Chris Paul and the Phoenix Suns swept the Denver Nuggets behind another spectacular game by Chris Paul. Paul has had a string of playoff disappointments, so it’s nice to see him lead the Suns to the conference finals. But there’s still a way to go, so there’s a lot of overreaction going on.

      Naturally, sports media can’t help but get into conversations about the all-time best point guards. Chris Paul is certainly up there, but it’s a pretty tough list to crack with Magic Johnson, Oscar Robertson, Isaiah Thomas, John Stockton and Steph Curry to deal with. And what about Jason Kidd or Steve Nash?

      That said, Paul has an opportunity here to make an epic run at a point in his career when many thought he was finished as an elite player. His ability to slash through a defense and nail mid-range jumpers is very impressive, and he’s leading a group of young players who seem eager to follow. It’s been fun to watch.
