Singles or doubles? Dating is just like tennis - most people prefer single dates to double dates and most people prefer the singles tour to the doubles tour. Why? I don’t know - maybe because there is more action.
Single dates are really black or white. Either you click and things go well or you don’t […]
Earlier this year, women’s world No. 1 Justine Henin had a longer name. Halfway through, the Hardenne was dropped. I’m just thankful her tennis wasn’t.
I can have a great deal of appreciation for a lot of different tennis players. I think Venus Williams has an excellent game. Serena also can pull those wins from somewhere. […]
There is a right way and a wrong way to make a point. The movie A Few Good Men had a line about how, in the court room, you can bring something up to get it in the minds of the jury but you can’t stress it too strongly or they’ll think you’re trying to […]

And while you’re subscribing, you have to check out Tomaz’s latest post on how to pick up a tennis ball. It’s quite funny - I’m totally going out this afternoon to work on my tennis-picking-up skillz…I have a long ways to […]
You know, if I had a kid, I would consider naming him Lleyton. Something about the double ‘L’ just gets to me…like llama. Remember when Hewitt and Andy Roddick used to be the big rivalry? He was good, Hewitt was. He’s faded off the scene a bit but he’s still smacking the ball around.

It is 38 days, eight hours and some-odd minutes until the Tennis Masters Cup Shanghai. Everybody get excited! I know it’s a bit old but I thought this article about the top eight players being sculpted as Terracotta Warriors was interesting enough to bring up.
You know, I guess it’s pretty cool to have someone sculpt your […]

It is far too easy to live in the here and now, wrapped up in our own problems with our own life, paying little attention to those around us let alone to those who came before.
I was just reading an article about Florida State’s annual “Champions Beyond the Game” brunch. Each year, two female graduates […]
Remember the days when Venus Williams was just, for the lack of a better term, the bomb diggity? She was brutal on the court. I wouldn’t want to square off against her 6′1″ frame and giant wingspan, staring her down across the net. Scaarrry. Of course I’m 5′5″ and although I’m speedy, I think I’d need […]
