Oh To Be In Basel This Is The Best Time Of The Year....

Oh to be in Basel…. This is my favorite time of the year. It’s getting closer and closer to the end of 2011. Agents and managers are doing deals. Doubles partners are regrouping and doing a square dance of change your partners. Players that had a good year are staying on track and players that had so so years are making adjustments … Coaching. Equipment. Etc. It’s stealthy time…..

Monday’s order of play has Roger on the schedule against the Italian Potito Starace. It also has current world number one. Mr. Bounce ,bounce, bounce is playing 10sballs.com friend, patch wearer and supporter the X-MAN. Xavier Malisse. We are praying for an upset. Xavier loves playing at home in Europe and loves playing indoors. So good luck to X and his great coach Maxim Braeckman. Bravo for last weeks semis…

Basel tourney directors were really already high on our list of global favorites. But they topped themselves giving our buddy Donald Young Jr. a wild card. “D.Y.” has had a great year starting in Indian wells with his big win over Andy Murray (broke into top 50, currently #43). He will play Austrian Juergen Melzer in the first round (#25 in the world).

The tourney has great star power. Roger Federer. Bagdatis. Roddick. Fish. Haas. Murray. Tipsarevic. Djokovic. The doubles draw has an interesting team. Old friends /schoolmates/ roommates Andy Roddick and Mardy Fish. The Murray brothers are giving it another go. They play the number two seeds of Daniel Nestor and Max “the beast” Mirnyi. X-MAN is in dubs also playing with Big Dick Norman. It’s great to see players staying in the game and giving their careers every possible chance of Fulfilling their goals and dreams.

Looks like James Blake made it through qualies! Bravo James! Looks like Ryan Harrison wasn’t as lucky. Nor was Bernie Tomic of Australia.

Closing comment. Nice to see the WTA put out a donation to Istanbul…. Better to have done it sooner….? Female tennis players are the highest paid women athletes on the planet…..

Topics: Novak Djokovic, Potito Starace, Roger Federer, Xavier Malisse
