Nicholas Monroe and John Isner beat the team of Marray / Sijsling the scores were 3-6,6-3,10-4. The big deal here its Monroe’s first Masters tournament. He is a great American player that’s spent most of his pro career in qualies or challengers or playing in the “no – future – Futures.” He is well liked and we applaud him and his efforts all these years. We hope he becomes an “overnight success ” and wins the Paris masters !

We hear that Ryan Sweetings sweetheart is ready to get married any minute. Isn’t love great. Kaley (aka Norman Cook ) Cuoco they look like lovebirds. Check them out on Instagram.

Chelsea Handler of the Chelsea Lately tv show did a really cute tennis skit with Fortune. Chuy Bravo recently did a tennis skit too and hit his famous foam balls into the audience. Chelsea is great friends with Maria Sharapova. At the London Olympics Chelsea kept after Maria till she was in the coveted players box seats. Hey it’s Halloween. Buy Sugarpova candy. It’s on sale ?
