Weather reports long range? I don’t know, but tomorrow in London looks

bleak as forecasts suggest it’ll rain.

Queens : Final Sunday – Shootout at high noon. It’s “Braveheart” Andy Murray against the Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. The Men’s Singles final shouts “awesome”! The mens doubles final – Ditto. The Bryan Brothers, who consider themselves members of Queens Club, versus the Indian duo of Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi. I hope they get to play a real third set in the finals… If it goes to three…

Halle – Hello. They have a great championship Sunday: Two Germans named Phillipp play each other, that is, Kohlschreiber vs. Petzschner.

… That’s the singles finals. The doubles finals is seriously awesome as well! Ready: Milos Raonic, our favorite Canandian, is teamed with Handsome Robin Haase of Holland. They play the most amazing team on tour. Rohan Bopanna from India partnered with Aisam -Ul-Haq-Quershi…

Is Serena Williams number one? – We’re talking seeds here. Is she seeded number one at the 2011 Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Championships? Why do draws with 128 players and have 32 seeds? It should only be 16 seeds! Sorry, but true. Hello, ” Tennis Suits” pay attention…

Also, tennis suits, how come players can’t play in warm-up suits when it’s chilly? Do your rules have rules?…

Wimbledon:  the countdown has begun and we are so excited! The greatest tennis event on EARTH is less than 10 days away. I am feeling the excitement building. So, is Serena Williams going to be seeded first? The men are simple to figure out, but the women this year are not so much… Where do you seed Venus Williams? What do you think? Tell us….. Let’s get a convo going.

…..The Williams Sisters haven’t been around much lately. Where do they belong? ……….Hopefully on opposite halves of the draw.

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.

Wow. Where do we start. Forward. Backward. Sideways. I sound like a tennis player doing on court drills.

    I would love to see Serena as a top seed, but for sure they will not give her #1. As you know, they usually go by rankings, without exception. What exceptions have their ever been? Also, it would be very unfair to the top 10 + players to seed her high. They have been playing and earned their rankings. It would be a nice thing to do, since she is the 2010 champ, but it would not be the right thing to do. She is my favorite player, so this is not an anti-Serena comment.
