Required Reading

• Why Spain is kicking our ass at tennis: Because they actually play tennis.
• Brian de Villiers has no idea what he's talking about.
• Nice try, but show me numbers, Querrey.  Until then, shut your trap.
• I tend to take this for granted but it's a good question: Why *are* injuries allowed to be kept on the DL in tennis?
• I cackled when Uncle Jamie told me Dunlop was going to do an interview with Bud Collins.  I cackled more when I actually read it.  And don't miss his hilarious Q&A with Bethanie.  Those two are glittery, hot pink PB&J.
• Turning the corner on C-Woz.  I think Tignor hit it right: You don't have to like her game, but you have to appreciate what she's able to do with it.
• Tennis players:  They're so emo.
• Sam's win over Elena D (which no one actually watched) was huge.  And everyone (who watched the match) knows it.
• Mikey Llodes had to retire with a migraine (I think it was a migraine).  But before he did he got some much-deserved ink for his highly entertaining style of play.
• Quite the breakout tourney for Petkorazzi.  Just remember, kid.  We knew you before you were famous.
