The only mildly upsetting on the men's side in Beijing is Sam's weird limp-wristed hitting pose. It always cracks me up. But I guess it works because he won in a three sets over Jesse Levine, 16 62 76(4). Tabasco also won but the WTA is totally trying to keep him away from Ana. His next match is scheduled on Court 1 and will probably go at around the same time Ana's match goes on Stadium court. Wise move, Larry. Wise move.
