    Michele Scarponi RIP

    Re: Frankie perched on the sign :( :( I'll be missing Michele Scarponi and thinking of him for a long time. As they say, sometimes you don't realize how much someone means to you until they are gone. And I can't believe he's gone - like Frankie, I'll be looking for him.

    Link to popular practice court in Cincy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgg4vL8GEjA Watched Rafa this morning and Dominic Thiem practicing there now. Thiem is every bit as impressive as Rafa, imo. Good stuff.

    I thought it was an entertaining week of tennis and a good Rio final. Congrats to Andy Murray! I liked how he gave credit back to Serena and Venus preceding him when asked about making history and defending Olympic gold. Andy's negativity can be annoying on court but he's a humble champion and I...

    That was a nice scene at the medals ceremony. Monica standing between two magnificent grand slam champions. And to think she just beat both of them. I don't know if this is a one-off, she'll have done enough in tennis, and that will be it. WTA #34, 22 years old, has one wta title. Hope she...

    I missed the match but hope the same! Would be great if Delpo got the Gold this time. I don't think he can do it but we'll see. This Kerber vs Puig match is heating up. I'll feel a little bad for the older one, Kerber, but I think Monica Puig could, maybe, get the win. She playing the match...

    Nishikori saving match points. Too little too late though. Andy Murray easily in two sets without breaking a sweat. Maybe Rafa and Delpo will be better. Fans getting ramped up for it.

    Yeah, it would be asking a lot for Rafa and Andy to make it to Cincy. However, I'm sure they'd both get byes and not be scheduled until Wed. or Thurs. I was a little surprised that Serena took a wild card into Cincy. I thought her shoulder was bothering her. anyways...

    Re: Wawrinka turned up for the draw ceremony in Cincy. And they, in Cincy, are planning on Nadal and Murray: https://twitter.com/CincyTennis Not sure in reality how Murray and Nadal will be there, since both are likely to be competing for gold on Sunday. We'll see. Congrats to Nada/Lopez...
