• Young Canadian Vasek Pospisiil is blogging for Tennis Canada and he's pretty funny.  An excerpt: "In general I find the girls are very good looking in eastern Canada. There are some good ones in the west too, dont get me wrong, but the overall percentage of good looking girls seems to be higher in the East. (If you're a good looking girl in Vancouver and just read this, I take it back. Add me on facebook!)"  Thanks to and FD Reader for the email tip.
