BNP Paribas Open… Big Boss loves doubles. This year at the BNP Paribas Open the tourney had a lot of unusual teams. We will cover the field in a minute. Our buddies are in the finals. 10sballs.com is so proud of Xavier Malisse who wears our patch on his sleeve. The teams that X Man and Dog (Dolgopolov) beat were Berdych/Tipsarevic, Bryan/Bryan, Murray/Murray, and Bopanna/Qureshi. Wow. … It’s interesting. X and Sasha played for fun. They played for the love of the game. Each match the fans were treated to two guys just playing doubles and enjoying themselves.. Laughing. Smiling. They served huge or spins. They hit angles and trick shots. We named them the relationship breakers. Or the BEL- KRAINS…..
This was a tennis tournament.... Like no other. This was a U.S. Open like no other.. Let's start with new logo. It's click art like ours? But we aren't the USTA.
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.
What a start. First match in the new stadium and bye bye ladies number one seed and WTA World Number One. Simona Halep. Losing to Estonian Kaia Kanepi.
It was the end of an era at Crandon Park for the Miami Open last year. From the Lipton, to the Nasdaq 100, to the Sony Ericsson, to the Sony, to the Miami Open presented by Itau, Key Biscayne saw it all.
