Monday, July 7th, 2008As McEnroe said, “It was the greatest match that I was ever witnessed,” and this is the weirdest hug-type thing since Bruce Pearl violated Erin Andrews.
Leyton Hewitt’s Sister Will Kick Your Ass
Saturday, January 19th, 2008Hewitt beat Baghdatis today in an epic five setter which ended at 4:40 AM Aussie time (the latest match in grand slam history). During the match, the cameras were constantly on Hewitt’s box, probably because his wife is smokin’ hot. But seated next to her was Hewitt’s sister, who — as Chris Fowler pointed out […]
Djokovic, Pova Will Make Beautiful Eastern European Tennis Babies
Tuesday, September 11th, 2007Thankfully, The Big Lead reads the New York Post so that we all don’t have to, and today he discovered a real gem. It seems that Novak Djokovic, the great impressionist and all around fantastic tennis player, may be dating some girl named Maria Sharapova. Maybe you’ve heard of her:
The two showed up together that […]
That Djokovic Has Great Personality
Friday, September 7th, 2007Now that my love affair with tennis is officially out of the closet, allow me to write yet another U.S. Open post.
If you don’t already know about Novak Djokovic, then you should. He’s the third ranked player in the world at just age 20, and is the last man to beat Federer. He’s through to […]
Serena Calls Henin a ‘Bitch’ at U.S. Open
Wednesday, September 5th, 2007I’m probably biased because I had the “honor” of interviewing Serena once, but she is definitely the least likable American athlete. I’d say worse than Shockey and Jeter combined with a touch of Greg Paulus thrown in. And during her loss last night to top-ranked Justine Henin she showed her incredible class. Read Serena’s lips […]
Is Tennis Better Than College Football?
Wednesday, September 5th, 2007Scoop Jackson gives us 25 reasons why he thinks the answer to that question is “yes.” For me, it’s a tough call. It’s my favorite sport to play (tennis) vs. my favorite sport to watch (football)*. Ultimately, NCAA football is better than tennis. However, what I viewed from the U.S. Open this weekend was far […]
It’s Good to Be Andy Roddick
Monday, September 3rd, 2007Andy Roddick has had a stranglehold on the No. 1 spot in my personal All-Envy Team for several years now. He’s the best U.S. American at the sport that I love to play above all others and, well, my man’s got hoes in all sorts of area codes, if you will. He is once again […]
‘Federer, You Ain’t Sh-t, Isner Owns You!’
Thursday, August 30th, 2007John Isner, American tennis’s biggest (6′9″) and most exciting men’s prospect, has won his first two US Open matches to set up a third round faceoff with the man in black himself, Roger Federer. Coincidentally, as mentioned here weeks ago, there’s a months-old Facebook group titled “Federer, you ain’t sh-t, John Isner owns you!!” that’s […]
