Innoncent Until Proven Guilty

That’s pretty much the case and although a lot of people have climbed on the bandwagon of calling Nikolay Davydenko guilty for the betting allegations, the Russian’s lawyer told BBC Sport that Davydenko would be cleared of all the charges immediately.
I don’t know if you can trust a lawyer - I would seriously advise against […]

Familiar Team for U.S. in Davis Cup

It’s getting to be a pretty normal sight, this United States Davis Cup team. Andy Roddick, James Blake and Bob and Mike Bryan will be suiting up for the U.S. for a record 10th time. The U.S. has had the same Davis Cup roster since Andre Agassi played the final time in March 2005.
Consistency - […]

Novak on the Tonight Show

I’m not exactly sure when Novak Djokovic was on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno but he was, at some point, fairly recently. I’m not a big fan of Jay Leno and it’s nothing personal - I don’t like any late night television. Maybe that makes me inhuman - I have no idea nor do […]

Henin to open academy

Even though Justine Henin is the world number one, it hasn’t limited her in branching out and finding ways to apply her love to tennis to more than just demolishing opponents.
Henin plans to open the 6th Sense Tennis Academy at Mission Inn Resort and Club in Howey-In-The-Hills. She and her coach of 12 years, Carlos […]

Murray Hires Make-over Man

The people in Andy Murray’s corner have been reading my blog and finally took my advice. Murray has hired an image adviser.
The top British player hired one of the best Britain can produce in Stuart Higgins, a sporting public relations master.
Public relations. Now there’s a topic I might know a little bit about. It’s spin, […]

Djokovic Wins Pacific Life Open

The Pacific Life Open played out like a Grand Slam and Novak Djokovic was the final man standing after defeating Mardy Fish in three sets 6-2, 5-7, 6-3. Sad. Fish would have been the Cinderella story of March.
The Serbians continued to represent well with Ana Ivanovic dumping Svetlana Kuznetsova in straight sets to win the […]

Fish Fells Federer

Because it’s March Madness, I didn’t watch tennis today. That was mistake number one. (How was I supposed to ditch my team when they needed me most, though?) Mardy Fish. Remember that name, because he beat Roger Federer in straight sets at the Pacific Life Open 6-3, 6-2.
Yeah - you read that right. Wow. Crazy.
Fish’s […]

Fish Reels in win over Nalbandian

I called David Nalbandian for the semifinals of the Pacific Life Open, and I was wrong. For those of you who don’t like me, embrace this moment because it won’t be lasting long.
 What a match thoughbetween the world number seven and Mardy Fish who is ranked, oh - uh - yes, 98 in the world. […]

Djokovic, Federer, Blake Cruise into Quarters

Some players had a little easier time getting into the quarterfinals of the Pacific Life Open than Rafael Nadal did. Roger Federer is staying true to form beating Ivan Ljubicic 6-3, 6-4. The good news for Federer is that Tommy Haas gave Andy Murray his ticket out of the tournament in a three-set match. Murray […]

Rafa digs in for victory over Tsonga

It was one heck of a match. 6-7, 7-6, 7-5 victory to Rafael Nadal over Jo-Wilfried Tsonga at the Pacific Life Open. I was on the edge of the couch, biting my nails, shouting at the television. My roommate walks into the house, sees me nearly apoplectic and asks, “Is that Wedgie Man playing?” referring to Nadal.
Why yes, […]
