Want to win: Andy Murray Will win: Novak Djokovic

Love this picture!

..........

Haha, Nice! I always go back down a draw to see who was the biggest loser in a tournament. I did not know that there was a Wooden Spoon though! Thanks for the info.

She is my favorite female player as well. She already had two Wimbledons and a WTA Tour Championship to her name. If she ever got it all together then watch out!

Murray just put himself in the No. 2 spot of favorites I think. Those straight-set wins over both Nadal and Nishikori has me convinced. But Djokovic is the favorite by far. Murray will need either/and exhaustion, wind, or a wild upset to have a chance to take the FO from Djokovic. Can't count...

I know. It looks like a medieval sexual torture/pleasure device, depending on your point of view.

So happy for Murray today! After never even reaching a caly final of any kind, he now has fought off a spirited challenge from Kohlschreiber to win his first clay title in Munich and then he tops that off by beating Nadal in straight sets in the Madrid Masters! 33rd ATP title 10 Masters title...

Canes women almost let Ole Miss upset them but they squeaked by with a 4-3 win. 10th Straight Sweet Sixteen. I don't give them much chance to advance any further though. They seem to have regressed as the season goes on.

The entire college tennis scene would qualify as a clown show.

So is Shelton getting in line for the hot seat?

For me, this is the image I have of the three: Wilander; Very smart player, did a lot more with what he had than anyone ever thought he would, very tough in Grand Slam matches (just ask Lendl), and a player who fulfilled his potential and more. Edberg: Beautiful technique, gradually improved...

He skipped the French before winning Wimbledon in 2013. So you're spot on.

Congrats to Muzza on winning his first clay court title at his first tournament as a married man and his first tournament with Jonas Bjorkman as his coach! This is Muzza's 32nd title which ties him with Andy Roddick and John Newcombe for 21st place on the titles list. Next up is Orantes, Ashe...

Congrats to Muzza! Great effort by Kohlschreiber but Murray just has enough to grab his first clay title and 32nd ATP title! He gets to take home a car as well.

And it's those 4 or 5 years that separate the champions for the challengers!

Murray's got the better end of the deal because he gets to go to Madrid while Kohlschreiber has to play qualifier and Lady Gaga theme Alejandro Falla. The winner gets to play Murray! So Murray can have a bit more rest after he gets to Madrid.

I thought about it but the two overlap the first five years and the Sweden-Germany-Madrid history is the official record so that's what I went with.

31! Kind of surprised when I checked.

The tournament started in 1990 in Sweden, went through Germany, was played on indoor hard and then clay and then the glorious blue clay for just one season and now back to clay. It has a medieval self-pleasure device as a trophy. See if you can name all 25 champions in 2 minutes. Madrid...

Nothing. The official Canes site just put up his profile on April 22. Here are some things the profile said. That's about it. Nothing was said about missing the NCAA tournament for the last four years, for falling completely out of the rankings or being swept 0-7 five matches in a row...

Kind of surprised but I guess they will at least make the Sweet Sixteen. I don't see they beating UNC though.

Happy Birthday to former Hurricane and ATP pro Michael Russell! He turns 37 today. He's announced his retirement at the end of the year so good luck to him the rest of the way!

Rain delay.

If I were a tennis player, my goal would be to win a Grand Slam title. ANY Grand Slam title. The No. 1 ranking would be nice, but I'd rather have a GS trophy sitting on my mantle than a commemorative glass trophy or silver plate congratulating my brief stay at No. 1. I wonder how many on here...

Would love to see Murray reach the No. 1 ranking at least once, even if it was just for one week. Gonna have to win three slams in a calendar year a la Mats Wilander to do it though.

Was wondering when someone would mention Mats Wilander. Overlooked as always but one of the greats.

Had some hope for the women's team, but they coughed up a huge hairball today against the No. 10 seed Florida State in the ACC quarterfinals. Just pathetic. Their ranking could take a hit and there is the possibility they won't even host a NCAA regional now. If this season was a fish, I'd...

The men's season comes to a merciful ending today. They once again fail to win even a single set in falling to Duke to end their season with a 7-17 record. This was the Canes' 6th losing season since 1977 and worst season ever. They had a couple of 8-13 seasons in '96 and '12 but this season...

Djokovic will pull even with Nadal at the FO and then leave him far behind.
