Back To The Super Bowl

Xavier Malisse (BEL)  |

Super Bowl? Where’s our Super Bowl? Hey suits… Dark suits, gray suits. Not warm up suits… Suits why not celebrate our great sport somehow? Awards show? Look at the Laureus award. Big congrats Rafael Nadal. Rafa. Hot. Hot. Hot. Billboards of you in those jeans…. Ok back to awards shows. Golf’s got a great one. For best golf shots. Or funny shots. Whatever shots. The point is all the folders attend the evening. All A-listers. And best of all the “Hall of Famers.” All the people that comprise the sport. It’s a great show….

“Svenitus…” I think I have it… I’m over the withdrawal of the Aussie open.. Symptoms: Missing those blogs, those blogs… Those Sven updates. 10sballs.com has heard from the best coach of this generation and the mighty road warrior. He is busy with his tennis academy in Amsterdam. His Orange Coach in Holland.  He was also planning on attending Richard Krajicek’s tourney in Rotterdam. Go orange! Go Orange Coach! Go Richard!  Poor Richard how many times did he hear us yell that…. Sven mentioned he might send us a blog :) … Fingers crossed….

We read Kevin Kim was playing in Quimper?? I give up… Where is Kevin?

In San Jose, 10sballs.com’s dear Xavier Malisse went down to the fast serving, fast rising new star of  tennis. The breakout player of 2011. Milos Raonic. Good efforts X-man!! The guy is serving from the clouds…. He needs to file a flight plan…

We are seeing some unreal depth in men’s doubles. The teams playing first and second round matches are so good that they could be finals. All of us that love tennis hopes men’s dubs survives after the Bryan brothers retire. Which we hope isn’t till they are forty!

We also hope the suits put back in regular scoring….

Good luck Bally wherever you are! Good luck D .Y.

Since I went to Dutch might as well save the best for last. Sven likes Tennisdirect. Check ad on our site. It probably has .nl at the end? Also I almost forgot… I picked up my new Solinco racket. With my new Solinco strings.  I can’t wait till tomorrow to hit a few… I watched Rick at Westwood Sporting Goods do the most beautiful string job. Thanks Rick. Thanks. K.T. …

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.
