Editors Note: This is Our second middle Sunday. It’s “Sunday Funday” for the fans. It’s truly a special experience. It will be louder and have way more Different energy. We are so excited.

Being tennis insiders we truly know how much the “RestDay” is coveted and needed. For the players but mostly the staff that puts in 20 hour days. No ones under more pressure than the REFS office. It’s a very, very stressful job.

The Rain just won’t go away….. There’s so many places in the world that would gladly even have a day of it. One place is the entire state of California. And too many places in Australia to name….
