Djokovic Out, Henin Moves On

The top two seeds at the Open 13 are gone. And when I say gone, I mean Novak Djokovic and Richard Gasquet won’t be challenging anyone for a title in this tournament because they’ve been ousted.
Defending champ Gilles Simon pulled off the 6-2, 6-7, 6-3 upset over Djokovic and Gasquet dropped out to the tune […]

Look-a-like

I actually like that show on the TV Guide channel where people who look similar to celebrities get made over with the right make-up and clothes to actually become even more like their famous counterparts.
Today I was walking towards the Golden Gate bridge (long story short, I walked for three hours all over San Francisco…yay!) […]
