Yes! The ATP World Tour Finals can’t start before the requisite Men in Suits photo session. Along with the British press, another overlooked benefit of hosting the ATP World Tour Finals in London is seeing Federer, Nadal and the rest of the top guys in bespoke tailoring (at least I’ll pretend it is.) Here are [...]
Andy Murray and the Bryan Brothers took part in the draw ceremony for the ATP World Tour Finals on Wednesday in a pod of the London Eye Ferris wheel. Here are the round robin groups for the singles and doubles competitions, which run from November 22 – 29:

In disappointing news for tennis fans everywhere, the London Times is reporting that Andy Roddick has withdrawn from the ATP’s year-ending championships in London next week:
The American world No.6 has withdrawn from the eight-man extravaganza – which starts on Sunday at the 02 Arena in south-east London – having been unable to overcome [...]
Whenever I get excited for quarterfinals day, the matches never live up to my expectations. Friday at the Paris Masters was no exception. I was pulling for either a Nadal vs. Soderling grudge match in the semis or a chance for Tsonga to defend his title. Instead we get Novak Djokovic out-scrapping the Sod and [...]
If you’re curious as to who Robin Soderling’s girlfriend is, well her she is. Jenni Mostrom. Don’t know too much information about her, but apparently she has a swedish blog you can follow.

Whoa, Roger Federer almost needed 5 sets to get past Robin Soderling on Wednesday night! Fed already had the first two in the bag, 6-0, 6-3, when, suddenly, Soderling went bombs away. The next two sets went to tiebreaks, with Soderling up 6 points to 5 in the final breaker before Fed squeaked by. A [...]
So Roger Federer played second fiddle today, taking the court against Tommy Robredo after Melanie Oudin’s big win over Nadia Petrova. He did his best to wow the crowd in his own way, coming back from a tight first set to dominate the Spaniard in vintage Fed style: 7-5, 6-2, 6-2.
I loved what Roger had [...]

Roger Federer beat big-serving Robin Soderling in three tight sets today: 6-4, 7-6, 7-6. It was good practice for his quarterfinal against Ivo “Ace Machine” Karlovic, who beat Fernando Verdasco today in four.
Federer chatted with the BBC after the match. Roger says he’s happy that his pregnant wife is not being a pain in the [...]
“He served well, and that’s it.” That’s Jo-Wilfried Tsonga after losing today to Ivo Karlovic, who served 46 aces. Sh*t.
Dr. Ivo tells the press he doesn’t mind being called a one trick pony:
Q. Are you getting angry about persons who are saying you can just serve and that’s all?
IVO KARLOVIC: No. It’s actually, I mean, [...]
Bow chicka bow chicka bow bow!
Why the lame attempt at a porno flick bass line? Because this year’s Roland Garros final was THAT satisfying. At least to Fedophiles, who just wanted Roger Federer to beat Robin Soderling as quickly and easily as possible. Which he did: 6-1, 7-6, 6-4. Federer lost only 17 points [...]
This crazy French Open is making me queasy.
I’m discombobulated. . .bitten by the upset bug. . . suffering from clay-induced vertigo. . .my thoughts are bobbing up and down like buoys in a stormy sea. . .then diving and leaping like Gael Monfils on a clay court.
Excuse me while I get my bearings. Or should [...]
