Zach Bigalke

I undoubtedly have some of the highest word-count totals on this site, even if I don't necessarily have the quantity of comments or throwdowns or blogs that some others might. And after all, it's not necessarily how many things you produce, but the quality of that which is produced... So kids, remember to keep your thesaurus and the biggest dictionary you can find close at hand, and you too can someday rant on like Ol' Fire and Brimstone himself, Mr. Bigalke! I am the managing editor of Informative Sports (informativesports.com) and a frequent contributor to both Helium (helium.com) and FanNation. I offer a fresh take on a diverse range of sports and other topics through my archival website at The Cerebral Vortex (bigalke.angelfire.com)...

Day Fourteen Thoughts
  And then it all came down to one last day, two final matches being played out at Rod Laver Arena to crown champions in the mixed doubles and in the men's singles. After a fortnight that has seen hundreds of tennis matches, two weeks that yielded innumerable winners and losers and padded the pockets of one and all, we had but six athletes left to watch before the ATP and WTA Tours split off on their own calendars. After today, we have a three-month window before the Grand Slam excitement revives at…

2010 Australian Open Coverage
Day Thirteen Thoughts
  Just two courts remain in action in Melbourne Park at this stage of the Australian Open. Margaret Court Arena was the site of wheelchair tennis action, culminating in the finals of both the men's and women's singles draws. In the quad wheelchair division, world #1 Peter Norfolk of Great Britain avenged the previous night's loss in the doubles by defeating world #2 David Wagner of the United States. After Norfolk and Wagner staged their 6-2 7-6(4) dogfight, it was the turn of the ladies to come onto…
