The Open

Bought tickets for the open a few weeks ago. Tried to get finals tixs, but they were sold out.
If there are no major rain delays, I should be watching the Women's semifinal and the Men 's quarterfinals. If you haven't been out there, your missing a great show.

Wish Me Luck : Playoffs In Tucson

I'm off in the morning to test my mettle under Tucson's desert sun. Why Tucson, why?

My 4.0 team won the Northern New Mexico region and have the pleasure of playing the winners from the El Paso, Phoenix, Flagstaff and Tucson regions this weekend.

Wish me luck. I'll see you on the other… Continue

How About 'None of the Above?'

So, I've had this poll going on at my blog, Tennis Talk, Anyone? for the past few days on who deserves to be number 1 on the WTA tour and I'm wondering after last night's matches at the Rogers Cup if those four should be considered.

Maria Sharapova going three I understand: Her arm's about to fall off, which is sad because it's going to be tough to navigate around that as her career goes on. She just pulled out of the Olympics and is… Continue
