I'm going to guess that Walter's "tennis balls taped to your heels" drill off the table for a while.
You can't catch all the action when you're running around the grounds, so I obviously didn't watch the Bartoli/Manasieva match. I assumed that Mono would roll. She dropped a double bagel on Tax Garbin in the first round and she was 4-0 up on the hard-hitting Manasieva, whom I had seen at USO qualies where she lost to Robbie. That was 16 straight games for Mono. So I couldn't help but chuckle when I saw her finally drop a game at 5-1 and call the trainer. I mean, you would chuckle (ok fine, I scoffed and guffawed) too.
But it turns out that, to the shock of no one, I'm an asshole. Mono would lose the match and, as it turns out, L'Equipe reports that she's suffered a tear in her calf muscle that will take her out of competition for six weeks.
So sorry for laughing, dude. That blows.
