Salute To The Tennis Gods and Goddesses

Roger Federer (SUI)  |

Alix Ramsay. Who? Alix Ramsay! “Alix’s world”… The BIG BOSS at 10sballs.com thanks the tennis Gods for her contributions to the site. We are living in the Golden Age of tennis and to have someone with Alix’s wit, sense of humor, wisdom, and understanding of our sport… we are truly blessed.

The golden age of tennis… Roger Federer. Rafael Nadal… All the tennis gods and goddesses.  Almost too many to list, but gotta say Caroline Wozniaki, Ana Ivanovic and Sorana Cirstea…I could keep going for an hour…  All the great male players. The Andy’s. We would love to see Andy Murray win Wimbledon. We have the Fernando’s. Oh that Verdasco and Gonzales. I cant even get started with the depth in the men’s singles and  doubles… it has never been stronger! Tennis has some of the smartest most talented athletes in all sports.

Now Venus Williams. We wish you a full speedy recovery…. but we are not certain in all the years we’ve followed the sport that we have seen a player just play the four slams…? No tourneys in between? No warm-up events? Larson mentioned it. He was first to notice…  Then Pam Shriver brought it up. …. You treat slams like an ego or cameo appearance…

Time to cruise the site … Thanks to all of our new friends of 10sballs.com. Aussie day at the A.O.  Two great Aussie tennis champions. Pat cash and Wayne Arthurs. They played dubs together in the legends event. Both supporting this site by wearing our patches…thanks guys. How many beers do I owe you? ….

I love the story from our fashionista Karen Anderson, who wrote on Kei Nishikori and his new clothing sponsor “Uniqlo.” Love the photo with all their colors options for shirts… I never understood why Lacoste has such dull shirts on Andy Roddick, when they make four seasons of beautiful colors?

Jordan Kerr. G’day mate and thanks for the Q and A. Anyone who is not familiar with Jordan. Learn up. Great player. One of the nicest blokes on tour. Mostly plays dubs…

G’day mate to Scotty Davidoff. That Aussie chick really knows how to find all the interesting, nice guys on tour. That includes Paul Hanley and Chris Guccione. Peter Luckzak.

Aussie chick. 10sballs.com big boss hopes you stick around the site awhile… We love your insight…. Your stories: What Was Venus Thinking? … One Of The Nicest Blokes In The World…. X Man Puts Up A Fight… She’s got great insiders point of view.

Re: my “plug” for Mink Printing. That wasn’t a trade out/discount deal. They do great work. I ordered it long distance and I’m always thrilled at the quality of the work. I paid full retail…. J

Martina you are talking too much… Everyone on American broadcasts forgets why they are there. To call the match. Not talk. Talk. Talk. Are they being paid by the word?  Lindsay you’re doing great…

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.
