Dr. Ivo serving to any tiny women's player would be terrifying.

I know this is an odd thing to be fascinated by but today was the mixed doubles final. It was won by the team of Leander Paes from India and Martina Hingis of Switzerland. Paes has been a world class doubles player for almost 20 years while Martina Hingis was once the best Womens Player in the game. She left the sport but is back now but exclusively playing doubles. I think it's pretty cool that they won the title.

Paes was such a great doubles player always bogged down by his partner. It's a shame he had to constantly go up against the Bryan Bros.

That James Blake arrest was crazy. He was literally chilling and the cop who showed no badge and wasn't in uniformed slammed him into the wall then on the ground. Can't believe Blake didn't fight back.

This was over credit card fraud by some guy that sorta looks like Blake. It looked like the cop has a mask on??? Could be wrong there. Scary. CC fraud.

Imagine if he wasnt famous.

Man, Feds misses a routine forehand that would have made it a set all.

Yeah that sucked. Great game but I'm not optimistic for Feds

Yeah seems like he let the nerves get to him in the big matches at times. The pressure of getting one more before he goes.
