Stan Wawrinka is out of both the BNP Paribas Open and the Miami Open, he announced on Thursday. It is an unsurprising--and probably smart--move for the 32-year-old Swiss, who has not appeared to be ready for the rigors of a Masters 1000 tournament--and certainly not two in a row.

CONFESSIONS OF A FEDERER LOVER

I’m a Federer guy. There, I said it. Rafa could marry my daughter (please?)—but I cannot cheer for him. I even cheered for Federer over Roddick in their epic Wimbledon final in 2009. All those wins Rafa had over Fed = Brutal.

WATCHING TENNIS FROM THE 2018 AUSTRALIAN OPEN FROM MY TV IN NEW YORK
