Heavy bag.. It seems heavier…

 

 

The Team Here at 10sballs all love Tommy. All for different reasons. But we all live Tommy.

 

Tommy needs to believe in himself. Roger Federer says he never stopped believing in himself.

Hear that Tommy Boy… Ok so Geezer loves him because he has the heart and feistiness of a champion. Big Boss loves him cause his name is Tommy and he is a proud GERMAN. Pancho loves his grit. Alex loves his Backhand. And Lovey loves his heart… But.. He wears it on his sleeve. He should protect it and only wear logos on his sleeves.

 

Anyway Dear Tommy. You’ll be a great tourney director. BNP Paribas is blessed to have you.

 

But for now… It’s tennis. So Don’t be stressing so darn much. Just enjoy every moment of the day, stop trying to be 25 years old. You took your loss to Ruben at WIMBLEDON harder than you should have. Bemelsmans is a fine player. A crafty lefty whose best surface is grass. You underestimate him.

 

No you’ll never win WIMBLEDON. Andy Roddick said that line during his induction speech in Newport Hall of Fame.

 

Please read below an earlier editors note we wrote this week..

Editors Note: These are two of our favorite tennis tourneys. Great venues and scenery. And great tournament staffers. We really love almost anywhere in Switzerland. The Palace Hotel has the biggest most awesome salt water pool. And Roy Emerson sure had many great summer camps there. (LJ)

Note to Tommy Haas. Enjoy this time. You are in the Bonus Round. Maybe it’s all too important to win one more time. But enjoy the ride. Don’t the German’s have a word for that. Fahrvergnugen?

This smiling Tommy is the one we want to see. Enjoy these “Bonus Rounds”. It’s a Special time in this chapter of your life. Be laid back. Enjoy. Enjoy. Enjoy. You worked really hard to be in this physical condition. You are a beautiful specimen of an athlete at your age. A true inspiration.
