hey marcela, there have been a few commenting over there as well, myself included. I figure everyone just needed to get used to going over there, so come join, if we get the ball rollling, it'll encourage as much dialogue over there as there was here!!
lol JJ-625, I miss them too, but if you come and join the comments, we can keep the nicknames alive :D

Over and Out.
I was kinda kidding about the whole "NO ONE WANTS TO GO TO YOUR STUPID MOOSE TOURNAMENT, CANADA" thing, but now I'm starting to wonder. Numero Uno crashed out in straight sets to Robert Vinci, somehow blowing a 5-1 lead in the second set to lose 64 75 in some, to be fair, pretty horrible ...
yup, no excuses for or from Rafa, Dodig kept it up. Weather was wonderful here last night for tennis. I've gotten the feeling something's been up with him all year (Djokovic aside), but i'm glad he and he's team aren't saying if or what it is. He certainly isn't playing like the 3 slam champ from last year

not that i'd ever argue against more undie shots, but the beginning of the video does say Armani Jeans.
Canadian tuxedo made me laugh my ass off!!!

Why So Much Clothes?
I have thoughts. This is for underwear, right? Yeah, so I'm gonna need more underwear shots. Putting Rafa in a Candian Tuxedo will never ever sell underwear. Rafa's confused "Josh Hartnett" at the end made me snort my beer. Thanks for posting, Down The Line.
aaah yes, but maybe Caro wanted to at least date someone who's won a Major :)

UPDATED: Roro McWoz
So it would appear that, in her quest for a major, Caro's getting all friendly with Rory "I'm Not A Hobbit But I Play One On TV" McIlroy. Omes Tennis spotted them in a London restaurant on Sunday, getting cozy, canoodling, and...well, I'll let her say it: Pics were taken, and much to Omes ...

At Least You're Resting.
Moose is out of Barcelona after getting an MRI on his right elbow and being advised to take 4-5 days rest. You know what that means: VIDEO GAMES!!!! Luv ya, nerd. (Pics: AP, Andy Murray's Twitter)
At the end of the day, i love both of these dudes, and they gave us a spectacular match. THIS is the rivalry now and i am very excited for it. Was pulling maybe 2 per cent more for Rafa, but dude blinked in tiebreak after an amazing and taxing match (for both).
Congrats to both men!!!!

Hey guys, I'm running off to the airport to hop on a last-minute flight to Tokyo to visit my sister. Well, really, it doubles as a family visit and a scouting trip on behalf of Kim Clijsters to see if it's safe. I have thoughts on this epic match (duhr!) but still jotting down. In the meant...

Natural Blonde.
It seems that every time I see Maria Sharapova practicing these days she's working on her serve. T-Hog is in her ear after each one, telling her what she did right, what to do next, etc. It's really kind of disheartening. I know she's had to change her technique a bit in order to protect th...
Except for number 4 on your list, which of course none of us know, because we aren't in the locker room, i totally agree with you. Also, I think we've witnessed the birth of the rivalry of the future in mens' tennis. Novak played great, and hopefully we'll see many more classic Rafole clashes for years to come :D

SERIOUSLY??? I'm still in a bit of shock. I honestly can't believe Nole pulled off the come from behind win over Rafa. I'm not sure why I can't believe it. Clearly Nole's given me no reason to have any doubts about his game. But after Rafa took the first set and Nole's body language seem...
So many great stories this Indian Wells. Love Dolgopolov and nice that Malisse is playing well too.

Double the Giggles, Double the Fun.
One of the biggest stories to come out of this year's BNP Paribas Open is how the doubles competition seemed to overtake the tournament. You had the top four players playing with their countrymen, blitzing well-established doubles teams to make the latter rounds. Fans were lapping it up. Th...

Oh, ATP. You're so cute. You make us pretend to care in the early rounds, only to give us the juicy goods regardless. The men's semifinals at the BNP Paribas Open will feature two revenge match-ups between the four players to have won ALL the Slams since 2005. First up at 11:00am is the...

First, she's not on Twitter. Second, spell her name right. Third, REALLY? You think it's ok to include her Twitter handle in that tweet? Blech.
Since i've seen them both play this week, i'd say that both Rafa and Delpo are at about 85 per cent of their usual selves. Juan physically, and Rafa mentally. Don't know who to pick really, but i think Rafa will be able to pull this out in 3

Well, just remember, a doubles title is JUST as important as a singles title...right Fed...Olympics.

Double Your Pleasure, Double Your Fun.
It was Doubles Day here at the BNP Paribas Open as the tournament has been blessed with a doubles field that might as well double (seewhatIdidthere) for an Olympics preview. Fed/Stan, Rafa/Marc, Nole/Viktor, and Andy/Jamie were all in action and, thankfully, all victorious. In fact, Fed/Stan...

I was en route to Indian Wells when the Nole/Andy soccer match from heaven was taking place. You can see pics here. But DonkeyGrooming was on-site and she drunkenly relayed this rather amazing anecdote. Apparently, while Nole, Andy and the boys were embroiled in some intense kicking of thing...
