Indian Wells tennis has begun. It’s absolutely gorgeous here. Geezer has been here a week already. Disco Dottie too… Southern Belle is hanging with Global Chick so they are almost here.
Frankie is keeping the Belgians and the Dutch all covered for every need from A-Z. Sven Groeneveld is here smiling as usual. They don’t call him smiling Sven for nothing. Yesterday he climbed a tree and picked his oranges to squeeze his own juice. Photo shows one of his picks. The orange is bigger than a tennis ball. Get it ORANGE COACH loves orange juice or anything orange.
Alejandro is looking at the mountains and he just keeps saying wow. Southern Belle is loving the California sun.
Brett Connors of Brett Connors Photography fame is making his way down from the tennis channel studios in Santa Monica. Of course he keeps making pit stops to take more photos.
Richard Evans is coming from somewhere. We are hoping he will write more for us in 2015. There is no better British male writer with his years of love and devotion to our sport.
The tournament is really amazeballs. We’ve seen it grow over the past few years and are thrilled to be back.
Ricky Dimon appeared today in his favorite spot. THE GRANDSTAND. Ricky is one of Americas great young tennis writers.
K.T. KIM FROM SOLINCO is here too. If you haven’t tried their string you should. Nice touch , feel and wear.
Today’s birthday shout out goes to the press officer here @ The BNP Paribas Open , Matt Van Tuinen. Best wishes for a Happy Birthday. He is swamped with work with the start of the event but he does a super job and really tries to help everyone with their requests. His right hand man this week is Fred Sidhu. Also one of the best in the business.
Last we checked Gudrun was still holding down the fort in credentials as well as Adele in transportation. Can’t beat the old pros they make a hard job seem easy because they are so organized and know all the players forever ( over 25 years each )
This should be quite a gathering of tennis stars. Roger Federer is in NYC for world tennis day. He and Grigor are going to put on a show at Madison Square Garden . RAFA is here playing golf with Benito and Larry. Yes that Larry.
The Davis Cup players are showing up from around the world. All weary and jet lagged but happy to be here. Some happier than others. Yes the winners are happy and the losers are mad.
HAPPY WORLD TENNIS DAY !!!!! It’s a great sport. The best. You can practically play a lifetime. For me personally everything in my life has happened because of me and my tennis racket. Don’t forget folks. Golf is a four letter word.
