Where was this guy? For a few years, Nalbandian had been somewhat irrelevant. Sure, he was like Hewitt or Safin, the guys that came on tour when Federer did and gave Fed his share of trouble. Unlike Hewitt or Safin, who each won a pair of Slams, Nalbandian's best efforts came in 2002 when he
Perhaps Nike is pushing the pink. Nadal came out with a bright magenta-pink outfit that tries to show off his chest. Nadal also came out rusty making all sorts of unforced errors against Stanislas Wawrinka. This kept Wawrinka fairly even in the match. Wawrinka even had chances to take the first set. However, Wawrinka was
One reason Roger Federer has had the longevity he's had is due to good scheduling.

Is David Nalbandian back? After being bothered by a hip injury which caused him to spend a great deal of time on tour, Nalbandian made a decision to skip Wimbledon and play Davis Cup against Russia in Russia. There, he was the hero of Argentina. With Juan Martin del Potro still recovering from his wrist

Earlier today, which really means, earlier this evening, top seed and Wimbledon finalist, Tomas Berdych beat Andrey Golubev in three close sets: 6-3, 5-7,
Sam Querrey's best win against a top player was against Andy Roddick. Querrey beat Roddick in Cincinnati last year and beat Roddick in Memphis this year. By contrast, Querrey had never won a set against Andy Murray. Murray accepted a wildcard to play LA when Novak Djokovic decided to pull out at the last minute
This was the kind of match Sam Querrey used to lose. He'd play close against a top 30-ish player and if it got tight, his chances of losing were about the same as it was to win. Sam knew that he had to get through the majority of these matches. Janko Tipsarevic is one of
Novak Djokovic was planning to play LA which is something the top 4 have avoided, waiting to play the hardcourt tournaments as late as possible, starting with Toronto, a Masters 1000, followed by Cincinnati, another Masters 1000, followed by a week off, an the US Open. However, Djokovic cited personal reasons for not attending and
I would love to say something intelligent about the match, but a whirlwind storm hit my viewing area. The 20 minutes was enough to take down power in a huge swath of area where I live. I had expected my satellite to go down, and watch the match on ESPN 3, but with no power,
