Bud Collins’ Closet

We couldn't help but take a photo of Bud Collins and his wife Anita's shoes...can you tell whose are whose? |

Answer to the photo ? Ok we know that’s Anita on left and Bud on right. “Bud the walking encyclopedia of tennis.” The shirts, slacks, socks, and shoes. Are they “outfits” or costumes? All I can say is they are wonderful. Are they custom made by Anita? Is there a small village with seamstresses working round the clock? Do you look at the drapes (aka Scarlett Ohara) and say, “Gee they’d make great trousers ?” …..now that we’ve been so outspoken I think our chances of ever seeing the famous closet get slimmer and slimmer. Does he have 100 shirts, 500, 1000… Does he buy fabric all over the world? Does he ever donate any items of his clothing to tennis museums or charities.m? Are the clothes stored at home or in a wherehouse ? How much is his dry cleaning bill annually? How often do you buy off the rack? Saville row? Fifth ave? Rodeo Drive? Ok, 10sballs.com thanks you for being such a great friend of the sport and a good sport in general.

Taylor dent, Good bye. Good luck. We will miss your serve and volley. We will miss your will and determination.

Great to have Corona as a tennis sponsor. I’d love to be playing and see that CORONA sign on the net and know I might enjoy one after the match. Ok, maybe two.

The only way to describe this U.S. open is soaking wet without raining... It's really hard to play tennis when your socks are soaking wet and you are "sloshing" in your shoes. Your shoes get really heavy when they get wet.
