Come On Over. It's Nice There, Too.
Introducing Beyond The Baseline, SI.com's relaunched tennis blog. That's where I'm at for now. Come join me. Don't worry. Petko still calls me "Forty".
Go Sammy!
That first pic is 100% adorbz.

The Reminder.
Troof. Hey! Did you guys know that Sam Stosur is actually pretty good at tennis? I KNOW, RIGHT??? I TOTALLY forgot. But then she steps onto this magic red dust and *poof* she reminds us all that yeah, she's pretty good tennis and yeah, she's pretty fucking extra good when that tennis is p...

You're Not Allowed To Do Draws Ever Again.
I was *thisclose* to rescheduling my flight to Miami to get there in time for today's draw ceremony. I'm so glad I didn't. I'm not sure I would have been able to hide my facepalming while trying to act professional. Men's draw. Ladies' draw. Moose, who is seeded fifth, got drawn into Nole'...

"I didn't do anything. Just eat, eat, eat."
The real star of this video? Bepa's eyes. And her skin. Suck it, Proactiv. And I have to vouch for Nails' choice of ice cream. Coming from California, particularly San Francisco, I had no idea that Green Tea ice cream wasn't, like, a thing. We have it everywhere and no one thinks twice abou...
Sam looks so much more comfortable in a polo and jeans...

Air Quotes: Damn, Dave.
''Women's tennis is limited by what they mentally are achieving, and I think the men's game is more about the tennis. And if Sam can make it about the tennis, her tennis is good. Maybe the tennis is good enough to be [number] one in the world. If Caroline has reached that point, why not Sam? ...
Loved it.
But poor Sam, she looked like she was in an Ace bandage. =/

Mia Michaels, WHAT Did You To My Sam?
I absolutely love it when tennis hits the Big Apple because you get all this crazy coverage from the U.S. media outlets, and sometimes, just sometimes, they'll surprise you. Like in this video collection from the NYT, which features Kim, Serena, Elena, JJ, Sam, Vika, and Bepa. First of a...
She's is completely adorbz.

Well Now I'm Having A Stress Reaction, Too.
A few more details on the injury that's keeping the Hammer of Thor grounded for these two weeks. From her site, David Taylor said she was diagnosed with a "stress reaction in her distal humerus", which basically sounds like she had a bad reaction to an unfunny joke. Considering that our s...
Zomg, she has that, abercrombie hip crack thing goin' on. Zomg. Droool. Nomnomnom.

Sam Tracker 5000. Seriously, There Needs To Be An App For This.
Steph was on the grounds today which meant I could hide out in the media center and get some shit done while she acted as my eyes and ears on the ground. As soon as I got the "Sam's practicing!" I literally threw my camera in my bag and ran out of the media center. Proof. For whateve...
Droooooooool. Thanks Cnote, that was yummy.

Glad I'm Not The Only One.
That's right. Warm up that hammer. While watching Sam practice this evening I met a young woman who had flown down from Seattle for a wedding and extended her stay for the week in order to watch Sam try to win the tournament. A dedicated fan, indeed. This was her first time seeing Sam live...
I don't s'pose you can ask Sam when she's gonna come outta that closet?
No? Not appropos? Alriiight then.

Crowdsourcing. Because I'm Lazy.
Alright guys, here's your chance. I want to try to give you what you want. So here we go. What questions do you want me to ask the players at Stanford. And I'm actually being serious here. No, Curtis, I won't be asking Ana if she'll marry you. I'll be attending the All-Access hour wit...
No I understand what you mean. I just think we always need more strong, able, successful, out women in the world. Visibility matters eh?
The other thing is, to me, it always seems that Sam is so uncomfortable dressing up in fancy dresses for player parties, and I can't help but think that that's part of her "cover" as a "straight" woman. I don't know... I'd hate it if she's pretending to be something she's not. But AGAIN, just IMO. :)

Sam's Tennis Channel interview after she beat Justine. That shirt is epic, Sam.
Yes, I believe it does. I don't want her to think that her fans will love her any less. And I want her to be as much of herself as she wants to be. I often think that Sam cares too much about what other people think and thus represses her true self... Of course it is just my opinion, but I believe many of her other fans think that she's gay. :P I would love to have confirmation that she's gay, gives me hope! :D

Fine, You Go Here.
Doesn't mean I have to like it. MGMT did what she does, confuzzling JJ much as she confuzzled everyone else this week to take the biggest title of her career with a 76 75. "It was really difficult. She plays very differently to most girls, lots of drop shots, serve and volley and she'...
Yes. Yes, you are.
Okay fine, my girlfriend likes The Herpes as well. *grumbles*

Can Your Feet Even Reach The Pedals?
Sam didn't completely embarrass herself. She was able to take a set off Justine before collapsing in the third. I'm all "glass half-full" at the moment so I'm going to take that as a good thing. Congrats to Justine on her first title since her return. She seems more excited about the...

Sam did a bunch of behind the scenes videos for the WTA while in Charleston. As as you would expect, they're about as interesting as videos hosted by Sam would be. Which of course only makes me love her more. No pandering here! Ok, seriously, I totally thought she was going to down that...

Sarong? So Wrong.
The Armada did their thing again, posing for wet and shirtless for Spanish Elle. What can we conclude? (1) The Armada is hot. (2) Jeans > Sarongs. I mean, I know we call him Florence but putting him in a skirt was just wrong. (3) As much as anyone with a brain hates Abercrombie...

You know, it'd be a hell of a lot harder to make fun of JJ all the time if she always looked like this. Girl, you need to hire whoever did your make-up for a full-time gig. He or she is totally the Ken Paves to your Chicken of the Sea. Or maybe this is the winner's afterglow. Nah. It's t...

Awww...it's so cute! I'm not sure why Sam's hair looks like a broom, but just go with it. These are happy times. Cutes. That's actually Alicia Molik. But just go with it.
Hehehe, mm I hope so too. I wish Sam would admit it too. Stubbsy is just full of awesome, they really should follow her path!

Perhaps the most shocking thing about the new WTA rankings is that Lena is now #7 (dropping from #5), only one spot ahead of JJ. Also surprising: despite their relatively deep runs into the tournament, Franny and Nads make no movement. And welcome your new world #3, Caroline Wozniacki. Co...
