    Hi Couz, Do the Miami Tournament Pick-em contest. We need about 8 more entrants to qualify in the battle-of-the-boards. It makes following the tournament more fun. And will bring more eyeballs to Tennisopolis. Gotta sign up by late tonight. :-)

    i did wear them up until 2 weeks ago - LASIK baby!
    I'm still healing but it should be good. calling lines is a bit tough right now.
    I liked my glasses on the court, and they stayed on my head just fine. I bought a strap and never used it, or needed it.
    you should definitely get playing again - it is the best thing i did about 7 years ago. i couldn't live without it. looks like there's some waco dudes on here.

    Congratulations on winning the Tennisopolis pick-em. I knew you had it in you! And you finished 7th in the battle-fo-the-boards - very nice. Did you pick Monfils to the semis? What was your big pick that really moved you up?
