Sampras. Vs. Agassi…. Nike vs. Adidas. … It was funny both guys were wearing the Mardy Fish look of low socks. The no sock look. I wonder how their sponsors feel. That’s normally a nice signage spot for ATP players. Socks. Wristbands. Hats. Headbands. And sleeves. Or with most WTA players you have a spot on their dresses or visors. Guys have more places to wear logos …They have more ad space as movable billboards…
I’m feisty today…. I caught a glimpse of the tennis commercial with our First Lady. I’m thrilled that the first family plays and supports our sport. I admire Mrs. Obama for hundreds of reasons… I’m really supportive of her programs for kids’ health…. I didn’t like the commercial… One of the little kid players tells the President of the United States’ wife to shhh…. Not cool. Not respectful… A simple re-cut could fix….
Davis cup. That’s what’s really on my mind. There are some awesome matchups. Our dear buddy Max Mirnyi is home in Belarus. The temperature today is 16 degrees Fahrenheit. Wow it’s warmed up. It was 6 degrees Fahrenheit last week. Max, “the Beast,” will travel from Davis cup to Indian Wells. Max, “the Popsicle,” will thaw out in Indian Wells where it’s 75 degrees today. Good luck Max. Our buddies Xavier Malisse and his coach Max Braekmann have checked in from Belgium. Good luck “X-MAN.” I need to do more lately. Got to go. I’m a fill-in fourth in a doubles game down the road.
