The brothers are having a great 2014. Peter, On the left is younger (taller) little brother of Max the Beast Mirnyi. Peter is a great guy. 23 years old and a former college basketball player. Then there were his retail years as a manager of a Nike store.
For a second straight week there is no Masters 1000 event and this time around there is not even a 500-pointer on the menu. Monte-Carlo and Barcelona have gone by the wayside and the back-to-back stretch of Madri followed by Rome does not begin until next week.
The Australian Open may be called “the Happy Slam,” but perhaps at no event are the players in a more jovial mood than they are at the BNP Paribas Open.
Is there some rule that says Rafael Nadal and David Ferrer can never be sound at the same time? Nadal, after a long bout of back problems, is back to defend his title at Indian Wells, but Ferrer -- who lost his opener last year -- will be unable to play; he is the top player missing.
Top seed and winner of the last two editions David Ferrer looked unstoppable on South American clay as the Spaniard began his Argentine title defence by beating Maximo Gonzalez 7-6(7), 6-4 and running his Buenos Aires win streak to 11 matches.
So much for any thought of Paul-Henri Mathieu staging some sort of comeback here. He'll remain somewhere far south of #125. But defending champion Richard Gasquet now needs only one more win to keep the #9 ranking.
The Australian Open for Janko Tipsarevic could be in danger as the 29-year-old continues to suffer with a heel tendon rupture which has forced him to withdraw from the Chennai Open in India.

David Ferrer no ha dejado lugar a la duda. Su partido ante Nicolás Almagro para acceder a semifinales llegaba con el precedente del balance de victorias totalmente a su favor (13-0), pero ni así se ha relajado lo más mínimo.
Legend Rod Laver has quietly offered some much-needed wise words to young Australian tear-away Bernard Tomic, whose lack of desire and consistent quitter's attitude are starting to reflect badly on the proud heritage of the game on the island-continent.
Jeremy Chardy ha dado la sorpresa esta mañana al derrotar al cuarto cabeza de serie del Valencia Open 500 ATP World Tour, John Isner, por 7-6(7), 6-3.
A tough start, considering that Milos Raonic cannot rise above #11 no matter what he does here. He had sixteen break chances and converted only one. Which left him stuck out there for two and a half hours.
The 2013 U.S. Open keeps on trucking and with it comes a whirlwind of action on and off the court. Today, thanks to 10sballs.com friend Steve Bellamy, I was given the opportunity to test some new rackets from Wilson that were sporting the Spin Effect Technology system.
