I seriously thought for sure she was completely white. I am serioualy sorry. She looks completely different when I saw her last year and that was during the summer hardcourt swing.I saw your pre-edited message as well.
For real?
Yes and Agassi's mullet was a wig. He talked about in his book. This was before he was addicted to meth.
No problems, there's nothing to feel sorry about, her skin is relatively light after all.
My ideal quarterfinal draw would be Nadal - del Potro, Djokovic - Wawrinka, Murray - Berdych and Ferrer - Federer. But I bet none of these match-ups will happen >.<
So, everybody with a tough match except Federer?

Federer will have a tough match in the first round =P
Well Ferrer is ranked #3, so if anything Ferrer will also have a tough match-up.

We'll find out soon enough. Draw ceremony begins in just about 45 minutes!
Exactly, I would definitely fuck around with it just playing against a wall and see how well it goes. I was already glued to one of those things that looks at your serve speed at an event, wanted to break my 190km/h barrier so bad but couldn't do it. How some of these pros get 220 consistently and almost effortlessly is beyond me
Oh damn, this already exists?! Now I want to find reviews and buy it ASAP
24 grams is definitely enough to mess up weight balance, but maybe some people that have tried it have finished it off with enough lead tape or something. Sony's solution seems much better but I doubt it's coming anytime soon (if at all!)
Technology needs to catch up on tennis training already, I want to be able to play against ball machines that serve the ball at you at 300km/h
Babolat is also working on a similar device : the Play Pure Drive, where the data will be collected directly by the racket. Looks pretty cool and seems more precise than what Artengo does, but it'll cost 400$... Coming at the end of the year. Here's a video.

correct about everything
nadal, murray, federer and del potro on the same side of the draw. might as well give djokovic byes all the way to the final. jesus.
oh, and federer is fucked. utterly, utterly fucked.

Some early in the draw potential matches that could be entertaining :
1st round Nadal-Tomic
3rd round Raonic-Dimitrov
3rd round Nadal-Monfils
3rd round Fognini-Gulbis
3rd round Djoko-Istomin (if Istomin wins his first two matches it could mean he wants to play well).
3rd round Wawrinka-Pospisil
3rd round Roger-Stakhovsky, though I doubt Stakhovsky'll beat Gabashvili, let alone Verdasco.

The draw - :lol
Fognini vs Paire best of 5 match needs to happen desperately.

Poor results last year did this to him. Needs to work much harder to be a top tier player.
With both players cramping in the last set.

Now that Vera's back, it's time for Dinara Safina to make a comeback...said no one ever.

Raonic withdraws from Davis Cup tie against Japan. With Pospisil's back problems (looks like he'll only play doubles) Canada will have to win the 3 non-Nishikori matches to win. It'll be tough.

She'll never change. She'll be a housewife soon enough if she doesn't need her dad to do that too.
It's awful. Her dad is almost as much of a hamstring as Donald Young's family has been. She just hired Mortensen, Li's old coach. He should already start looking for his next gig.

Who's pumped for Davis cup tomorrow? USA v. GBR.
It looks like there's a high chance this tie will be 2-2, and it will all come down to the Don v. Ward.
R1. D. YOUNG v A. MURRAY
R2. S. QUERREY v J. WARD
R3. B. BRYAN / M. BRYAN v C. FLEMING / A. MURRAY
R4. S. QUERREY v A. MURRAY
R5. D. YOUNG v J. WARD

I am. Team Polska all the way.
Serbia's C team vs Switzerland's A team. I wonder who's going to win that one.

Be wary of results in home grand slams and Davis Cup. It's much easier to play at that level when at an emotional high.
This is a career defining weekend for Young.....
It depends on a person, some players collapse under such pressure (stosur in Australia
). Besides, he lost in straight sets. I do like what he brings to the court and with better fitness and experience he should do some damage on the ATP level (I'm predicting top 10 at some point
you can quote me 15 years from now if my prediction tends out to be wrong

I would take Kokkinakis' future over Kyrgios, but both will have successful careers.
Also, why is Pospisil ONLY playing doubles for Canada? He's by far the highest ranked player on their team.

lol Dolan got wrecked by Murray. The blowout loss to Nishikori is having a hangover effect. Hopefully he doesn't go on another 20 match losing streak as a result.

Sam querry lost in 5 sets to James ward. Why did we pick clay again? Lol.
Great Britain up 2-0 on USA.

Probably because of Isner.

Querry and insner both are big first servers though so that's what's throwing me off.
For whatever reason he seems to prefer that stuff in Davis Cup. There are probably other articles talking about it, but all I found with a quick search was this for their reasoning. I'm sure Isner beating Roger on clay also added to that decision.
Clearly because of Murray.
John Dunbar

James Ward has eliminated USA from the Davis Cup. Andy Murray also present.

lol basically. Murray was going to win both of his matches no matter who faced him. Isner included. James Ward's upset over Querry won the tie for GBR, and having Isner there instead of Young would not have made a difference.
Ah, heard the rumor since last year, good for her.
