That’s right, Nole, we are enjoying watching you. You are refreshing. Almost like a dark Justin Bieber. We all enjoy every moment of the past two years. Your climb to number one was something to see and you have an enchanting smile – we can all feel your joy. Thank you Dusan Vemic for making us love him… and for wearing 10sballs.com patch all year. The check is in the mail. But Novak… Please don’t bounce so much… Make that’s your news years resolution.

Andy Murray. Dear braveheart, why did you play any dubs in the fall? Indoor season unless it was maybe at a 1000, but even then you knew you were fragile and weary? Why extra effort to play dubs too? It makes a long day longer.

Roger and Rafa. Guys you are in a league of your own. It doesn’t matter your rankings or seedings. You are the fan favorites. You are the cross over to mainstream (household) names… You are athletes every brand wants and you guys are who every fan wants to see.

Teddy has died. Tennis has lost a great friend… Teddy was a man who stayed under the radar till he bought IMG. (More later)…

Best one liner of the week; Mohamed Layani the worlds best chair umpire saying to the players at the beginning of the match: “if you need me, you know where to find me.”

FYI. He is the best ever. The nonstop talking TV commentators said Mohamed had gotten 2 new friends on Facebook. Ha. It will be 20000 by weeks end… The man is charming. He knows how to do his job better than anyone ever and has a relaxed fun attitude while doing it.

Max Mirnyi and Daniel Nestor beat the Polish guys, 6-4,6-3. That puts them into the semi round. Also known as bigger money round. Bravo guys. Bravo dear Max and papa Nikolai. Oops almost forgot about Scott Davidoff. A great coach. A great guy. It’s great the success he has seen. It’s been long hours and a great love of the sport. Bravo Scotty.

Andy Murray has pulled out of the Barclays Masters? It’s a rumor… What a shame. We hope you feel proud of your great year and efforts.

10sballs.com announces a new award. In honor of Greg Sharko – he will receive the inaugural award named after him: “The Sharko.” It’s given to the person who works the hardest and cares the most. Check his tweet. It’s @ Sharko. (Press release to follow).
