The Tournament King  |

King Richard. Richard Krajicek. He is part of our tennis royalty. He’s a Wimbledon winner! He also runs the best indoor tourney in the world. I just got up and turned on the Tennis Channel and there was Richard presenting the trophies. Winner. Robin Soderling. Runner up, Jo Willie Tsonga. Most interesting point that makes the 6′ 5 Dutchman the best indoor tourney director? How about Soderling is a back to back winner and he got in last year thanks to a wildcard from Richard. Bravo dear friend. Congrats on another great event!!

10sballs.com sends out a shout to X-MAN. Bravo. They are in the dubs finals in San Jose. Xavier and Falla beat mark Knowles and Mertinak 10-4 in the third set of the semis late last night.  Finals today. Good luck guys….

Does anyone know where Quimper is?

Does anyone know about grabbing your crotch in the NBA? They get fined? Josh Smith, forward for the Hawks got fined 25k after he grabbed himself after a three pointer… Ok. Granted Andy Rod dick is not grabbing at his stuff. But he sure seems itchy in that area… Or like he needs constant adjusting … Come on Andy? Come on Rafael? Yuk. Who wants to walk up to the net after the match and shake their hands…
Poor Josh. His comment was, “I wish they had sent me a memo saying I couldn’t do it before I did it”

Tennis Channel. Tennis Channel. Tennis channel. Thank you for always getting us “there.” Wherever “there” is. Your coverage is outstanding. Of course we have a favorite TV match commentator… He brings a level of excitement to the match… It’s. Robbie Koenig. He can call a match and keep you into it with brilliant insight. He knows the game. He knows the players. He knows the nuances. When Robbie is in the booth you can guarantee a great commentary. And it’s not a running one… He knows to be quiet during the point.

Sixty-five million people in China  watched Li Na in the Australian open final… Wow.. Max Eisenbud is going to be a busy guy. Max is a great agent and a really super guy. He keeps Maria Sharapova endorsement deals in the big $$$…

My American Express bill came… Yikes how can Xmas still be coming in… Why do I mention this? This month for some strange reason I read the insert… How amazing.. Am Ex has a great VIP package to go to Wimbledon 2011. Complete with Stan Smith as the tour guide. Strawberries and Cream….

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.
