Lavie Sak left a comment for Mark Oskar"Hey Mark
I'm a 24 year old guy who travels to Toronto for work everyweek from mon-wens. I can play after work around 7pm. I play in a 4.5 league in the states and am looking to play often. You wanna play?

No one will deny that Rafael Nadal has had a difficult year thus far.He won the Australian Open at the start of the season, continuing a magical run through the 2008 season, however that seems like a decade ago now (doesn't it?). Beyond the Australian Open and leading up to the French, Nadal was simply being "Nadal".…See More

A blog post by Mark Oskar was featuredParadorn Srichaphan: How's the Wrist?
The former top 10 player, Paradorn Srichaphan is apparently still looking to return to tennis after leaving tennis more than 2 years ago due to a wrist injury.Wildly popular in Asia, the Thai player was a promising player with character and game. A serious wrist injury however stalled Paradorn's career in 2007 and he hasn't played a tournament since.Most have written him off after he married a former Miss Universe, headed into Asian television, and opened an Italian restaurant.

Mark Oskar commented on Mark / The Mayor's blog post 'Nadal CAN NOT Repeat as Wimbledon Champ.'"Nice post Mr.Mayor!
Nadal's game is brash and will shorten his career for certain. However, I'm thoroughly disapointed in this decision to not defend his title.
He notes not 100%, he notes however that his knees are better than 2 weeks…"

Less than an hour to go before the French final between Robin Soderling, and Roger Federer. Both players are certainly performing their final preparations before taking the stage...Most which are mental preparations, and you have to believe that the mindsets of each warrior is slightly different.Whether Soderling likes it or not, this is uncharted territory. Robin has gone far further than he has (boldly) ever gone before in a slam, and he's got a guy on the other side of the net that may go…See More

Meags commented on Mark Oskar's blog post 'Soderling Triumphs, to Face Federer in French Open Big Show'"Everyone thought Robin will fall in the Q and the Semis but he prevailed.

Soderling has done it again.To many, this is probably one of the most improbable runs at a Grand Slam in recent memory. While he certainly isn’t the lowest ranked player to get this far, Robin Soderling has never made it past the 3rd round of any major, ever! The guy has not even won a clay event in his life...And here in France, Soderling has not only made it to the finals, he defeated arguably the greatest clay court player of all time, in what was one of the greatest Major upsets of all…See More
