Martic played a hell of a match.

Chardy’s funeral starts soon.

Pretty funny watching Chardy and Fed get the go-cart across the grounds. Will Ferrell in the Tennis Channel booth right now.

Don’t know if you can tell on tv but both guys are hitting with way more topspin than usual on forehands, presumably due to the conditions. That’s tough as hell without changing your grip.

Got lucky to get this on video...

Edit: Viden taken down. Apparently you can post a highlight video with dozens of points, but if you post one of their “hot shot” points, it’s no bueno.

Damn, I just saw that Ken Flach of the pimp arse Flach/Seguso doubles team died. RIP, dude.

The very first match I ever went to at Indian Wells was a 2nd round night session. I went all out. Dropped $1000 for 2 front row seats right behind where the players sit on changeovers. I'm tripping out seeing Nadal so up close. His first service game I whip out my phone and start filming. At the time the phone I had made an audible beep every time I pressed play. By the 4th point Nadal is about to serve and there goes my beep. He stopped and gave me a nasty look. Needless to say I put my phone away for the rest of the match. Nadal ended up beating Stepanek 7-5 in the 3rd. The night ended at almost midnight with Sloane Stephens coming over to say hi and sign a ball for my then 10 year old daughter when there was probably less than 1000 people left in the stadium.

Had more on Chung than Fritz, so up 20 bucks on the day (so far).

Still down on the tournament by quite a bit (thanks baghdatis).



Threw down on Delpo and KA. That helped.

Buddy of mine dropped his phone on this loud wood surface at the Vegas Challenger event 2 years ago. He got the stare and some words from Sam Groth. I was scared just sitting next to him.

Chung at +525 is worth a play

Crazy odds. Are there people who say, “Hmm. Federer -650 on a slow court vs. Chung. Let me lay almost 2 grand to win $300”? This can’t actually happen. They must get tons of people adding that -650 into their parlays, I guess.

I think Midnightvibe does that ridic stuff like that all the time in the name of "free money."

I did something stupid like Lennox Lewis $1,500 to win $300 against one of the Klitschkos and he should have lost the fight as he was getting worked but closed up his eye. That would have sucked as I was a real broke dick at the time.

Yeah, when I try that it seems like I either lose, or I barely win but I’m sweating my arse off for 2 hours.

Impressive tourney from Coric considering he wasn’t seeded.

I had completely been mispronouncing his name until I watched him play Fritz.

One of my buddies calls him Core-ick.

This Federer just doesn’t lose.
