    Mirza Wedding in Jeopardy?

    Sania is crazy. What is the rush to marry someone you just started dating, who appears to be a jackass to start with? She just ditched one guy and now is going into a disastrous marriage. Seems like something from The Bachelor. Except they never actually get married in the end. Maybe she...

    The Dark Knight! Thumbs Up or Down?

    Meh. I have to say I was surprised that I didn't like it. It seemed a little heavy on the psychotic violence for my likes. I'm not really down with that too much. But when Heath Ledger wasn't being too over the top, he was quite good. Subtle is usually better in my view. Bale was OK, but...

    What is a ' Junk ' ball ?

    A junk ball is something the other guy can't seem to get back and tries to think of an excuse as to why that was.

    pros looking alot older than they are

    Moya looks horrible. Too much partying. He looks rough and used up. Still can play pretty well though. I went to his match at INdian Wells this year and he was good.

    Tommy Robredo poses nude in Cosmopolitan UK

    Maybe he should try playing nude, he definitely needs something to get his game to the next level, I think he has leveled off and doesn't have much hope otherwise. I always liked him for trying to bring back '70s tennis fashion last year. The tube socks, short shorts and headband were hilarious.

    Most handsome ATP Top 10 player

    Tommy Haas would be better looking than those guys, but for the top 10, Robredo I suppose. Poor Luby, he looks at least 10 years older than he is. I'd sure take his paycheck though!

    Most Beautiful WTA Top Ten Player

    Kirilenko and Dulko are both much prettier than any of them, but in the top 10, I guess Nicole. However, both Nicole and Martina are so much better looking with their visors on for some reason. Well, for Hingis it is because her forehead is a mile long, but Nicole also looks better that way.

    Do you know a psycho?

    I played a guy in a tournament final yesterday and I kept thinking the whole time he was just one of those sorts of people who would shoot a place up. He had all this crazy rage during the whole match and would periodically slam his racquet against the net over and over and then against the...

    Worst Pro Forehand?

    Maria Sharapova's is the ugliest by far.

    Andrei Medvedev, great talent but entirely forgotten.

    He seemed like another talented guy wasting his talent because he wanted to party. How many pictures did we see of him gambling and partying all night and then losing in the first round of tourneys. Then just sort of disappearing and show up again, driving a race car and then disappear again...

    I hate Wayne Bryan

    Wayne ran a clinic for local kids at GG Park in SF year before last and he was really cool with them, very enthusiastic and very friendly to all of us players out there. I respected the fact that he is still working really hard for the sport when he could sort of kick back at this point if he...

    Why You Dislike The Williams??

    It's just a matter of wise public relations combined with a winning personality. I don't happen to think Venus and Serena really have either one. The good news, is that the less they dominate the sport, the more humble and attractive they become. It certainly worked for Hingis, never was there...

    The Graf / Seles Debate ... Combined / Continuing Threads

    Condi are you one of Peter Graf's illigitimate children or something? I'm trying to figure out why you are so rabid about this issue, coming unhinged when anyone mentions Seles, whether or not Graf is even in the equation? Oh well, to each their own fanaticism. I happen to be a big...

    Is Tati a "clay-court specialist"?

    Petrova was Golovin's biggest asset in that final, she played horrible. Tatiana didn't even have to play well, just keep it in play and she was golden. I was far more impressed with her match against Ivanovic. Tati played amazing in that match, especially considering Ana played very...

    Whats your current *addiction*?

    Starbucks has some fantastic iced tea that I can't seem to live without anymore. I drink so much of it I go for the unsweetened kind, but they have sweetened as well, and they also have some they mix with lemonade that is supposed to be good. I'm a purist though, so it's straight up for me.

    Starbucks black iced tea and tennis.

    The Graf / Seles Debate ... Combined / Continuing Threads

    Why all the defensiveness and bitterness with this subject? Arguing this really can make people look so foolish, especially when they delight in the misery of others. It makes them look foolish and fairly disgusting, be it wishing ill for Monica or Steffi.

    What does Gasquet still lack to make the top 10 or better??

    His conditioning and desire are sorely lacking. He has said he is just not built like Nadal and others and therefore is overpowered by them, but to my mind he is not in the gym putting in the time and getting himself in top flight shape. He just seems so French in that he doesn't have that...

    Will Martina Hingis the "Princess" of WTA dominate again?

    I love that, thrice. People from Pakistan sound so much more literate than we Americans do. Anyway, although she is my favorite player, I'm afraid Martina will certainly never dominate and she'll be lucky to even win a big tourney again, though she has with some favorable draws and weak...

    Monica Seles????

    Good for her. I hope Capriati is getting in as good of shape.

    best looking player

    I'd say Flip too because when you are big and hulking as a young man you look great, but in 10 years he'll be a huge tub of lard, so he better get it while he can.

    Svetlana Kuznetsova

    While you are at it could you get her to lose a little weight? I saw her at Indian Wells and she was in disgraceful shape for someone ranked so highly and with such nice talent.

    Why does Nadal HAVE to . . .

    I the trophy biting is a funny sort of cool trademark. The butt thing, not so much.

    Cool shoes

    I was at the Indian Wells tourney and my favorite look I saw there was probably Almagro's orange shoes, closely followed by Luby's red shoes. Does anyone know who make either and what model they are? As a side note, Almagro is an insane as ever, if not more so. He needs either a sports...

    It's supposed to be almost 100 degrees at Indian Wells, ugh

    I'm going to the tournament on Saturday-Tuesday, and on Sunday it is supposed to be 97 degrees. That sounds vile from a spectator point of view and from a player perspective likely even worse! Sounds like we might want to make a few more night session and spend the days at the pool.

    No post on the NY Times article about Spartak yet ?

    It made me think they might not be real up on tennis if they are using Elena Dementieva as the cover girl for great technique for the Russian tennis program. But the gist of a sort of factory turning out good players through hard work was interesting and something the U.S. should sure look at.

    Mirjana Lucic is back!

    Is she still overweight and insane? If so, it should be even more of a disaster than usual.

    The Meaninglessness of Life, it doesn't really matter?

    If you have any friends or family or even a dog for goodness sake life shouldn't feel meaningless to you. Get outside and get off the computer for a change and I guarantee you that you will feel better and less dramatic.

    Has Taylor Dent retired?

    Taylor was by far the most interesting American to watch. We'll see if this turns out to be true.
