I don't know who relies more on the "Hawk Eye" review system: the players or the chair umpire.
Don't ask the British media what happened in the first two sets of the Rafael Nadal - James Blake quarterfinal match. The first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinal game between Liverpool and Arsenal was on tv. Nadal defeated Blake in three sets. Liverpool and Arsenal tied 1-1.
Andy Roddick’s serve is protected by the second amendment. Now you know why he can’t win the French.
Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal are the only true international superstars of men’s tennis. Maria Sharapova can claim the same title on the women’s side.
Men’s doubles are far more entertaining than women’s singles, but as long as the Bryans don’t look like Maria or Ana, they won’t get the exposure, or the money. Equality has its limits I guess.
The WTA Tour’s marketing team is so much better than the ATP’s. If only their product was half as good. And yes, I would like a new phone.
Japanese media love Kei, not Ai. No less than three tv crews and several writers followed Kei Nishikori during his short stay in Key Biscayne. Only one reporter, from Smash, a Japanese tennis magazine, attended Ai Sugiyama 4th round match against Vera Zvonareva on Monday night.
People are now applauding when the original call is overturned by the official electronic review. Not sure why? Or who? On that note, I saw Roger Federer apologize to Jose Acasuso for calling onto the review system while he was wrong.
Svetlana Kuznetsova has been a top player for years. She won the U.S. Open in 2004. She is very entertaining to watch, has tremendous physical abilities and shows a great spirit on and off the court. If only people cared less about looks and more about talent, you would know who it is I am talking about.
