In the ATP’s latest “favorite things” video, Djokovic, Federer, Nalbandian and other top players ponder their favorite rides. Once again, Ljubicic comes off as the professor of the group, going deep into the Mercedes vs. Aston Martin. debate. Roddick keeps it real and Nadal shows his giggly side for Kia.
Also, so funny that the Murray [...]

When I first heard that Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer were involved in a new exhibition just before Roland Garros, I thought “whatever, I hate exos.” But I learned a little more about it, and now I’m intrigued. . .

The Guinot Mary Cohr Masters, as it’s called, is scheduled for May 20-22 at the [...]

This video makes me hungry for everything from Congolese Saka-Saka to McDonalds (but only if Gilles Simon is buying my Big Mac!) Check it out:

After watching that, who do you want to eat with? Tsonga’s dreamy, Simon’s hilarious and Verdasco’s the obvious foodie of the group. But I’m staying the hell away from Mardy [...]

It was rough out on the courts this weekend at the Sony Ericsson Open. Maybe it’s good that Fox Sports Network aired BMX world, instead. Yikes!

The wreckage on the WTA side was especially graphic:
Jelena Jankovic crashed out to Gisela Dulko (who then went out to Benesova)
Dinara Safina was crushed 6-1, 6-4 by Sam Stosur in [...]

The ATP tour is in Miami this week for the Sony Ericsson Open, which means that the tennis player/dolphin photo ops are pretty much inevitable. As is great tennis. And our down and dirty preview of the draw. So here’s the run down of what to expect (or not) from the men this week in [...]

1. Eventual IW champ, Rafael Nadal, scored a miraculous victory over sneaky/scary underachiever David [...]

I’m posting highlights from Wednesday night’s “classic” Nadal vs. Nalbandian night match at Indian Wells, since so many of us had FSN issues and couldn’t watch it live (or even on tape delay.)
After watching this can someone please tell me: 1. Why Nalbandian is so sneaky-good? and 2. Why he’s never won a major?

The guy [...]

To all my friends watching tennis in the States – do you share my intense, undying hatred of Fox Sports Network?
Here’s the story: I was looking forward to watching the Nadal vs. Nalbandian match all day yesterday,  and I naively assumed it would be part of FSN’s nightly Indian Wells broadcast. The anticipation grew [...]
