He only beat 7 guys in the top 30 in 2 weeks. Not impressive.

Rafa's issue in getting back to #4 is that he made it to Madrid final last year, so tons of points to defend,

Delpo vs. Dustin Brown on clay with temps in the low 40's is strangely intriguing to me.

I cannot recall seeing an ATP field worse than this one in Turkey.

He had a benign tumor in his left foot that required 2 surgery's last year, had been out 17 months and nearly ended his career, lost 80% of his sole on that foot.

Returned for a few months but had a knee bothering him and had surgery on it, returning from it this week after 8 months.

Go Delp. I like DB, but I'm not terribly bullish on how his game translates to clay, and would just like to see Delpo get some more wins under his belt.

Wow, I hadn't heard any of that.

Fed loves him some Rafa: Nadal is Nadal

Also, Serena getting her twerk on in the new Beyonce video:

Get low, girl

That's pretty much what I meant. A net-rushing grass courter vs. a guy with no backhand. Should be good for some lulz at least.

He never passes up a chance to take a subtle shot at Novak.

Tipsarevic did get a win at least.

Thiem/Zverev sounds like fun, but 4:30 am here, so I'm out of luck.

Wonder when was the last time the top 4 seeds made the semis in a WTA event.

Is that Turkey, Portugal, Germany or something else? I'm too lazy to even look it up this week. Madrid is next week, which is OK. But, I think the players don't really like it. Quick conditions due to mild altitude or something.
