I agree with you Xiowa.  I am not sure what the specifics are for these cases, but to ask players to give the authorities their locations from 6am to 11pm is not going to prove anything.  The players could lie about it anyway.  It is more like the authorities trying to exercise their power by putting them on a tight leash, something ...

I am an avid player and watcher of tennis.  After spending two weeks of a grand slam watching as many matches as I can, I will admit that I need a break.  However, the break I need lasts about one to two weeks and then I want more.  At some points of the season, I get to see more, but at other points, they don't televise the matches ...

Re Petr Korda . . . Even though I don't know the guy, it is from his play and his interviews that I got a sense of him and I will never believe that he knowingly took any kind of drug.  People speaking against him were probably jealous.  He was wronged and it ruined his career.  It was truly a travesty of justice.  It seems ...

There is one thing I would like changed, but I'm not sure how the change could be gone about.  Emotions flare up in the midst of these competitions for all the right reasons.  They are used to impel a player toward victory.  There is a level at which we expect players to control themselves, but some of the comments I have read or ...

First of all, I don't care if John McEnroe sees the ball one way or another; what he decides does not make it a fact.  We all have only the two angles of the tape, one from the rear, to judge by and some of us can see how it is possible that Serena's foot was on the line, leaving the line judge with the option of calling it at that ...

Serena's killer instinct has always been evident on the court.  It is exactly that which kills her opponents, whether she is dominant early or manages to survive trouble late in a match.  The noises she makes with certain strokes at certain times have sounded like those of a vicious animal in the midst of a kill and leave little to the ...

It's Labor Day and I just returned from attending the US Open.  Here's my beef:  There were no singles matches scheduled on the Grandstand; I don't know why.  Every Labor Day has matches on all three stadium courts and one used to be able to spend the day at the smaller two stadiums and see great singles matches.  I arrived at ...

#1 is #1 simply because of the way the system is set up.  Talking about what ''should'' be is all about entertainment and publicity for tennis, but it has no real meaning.  We can always wonder who is the best player at any given moment, but it can rarely be proven.  If Serena played as much as Dinara Safina, perhaps Serena's body ...

I was there on Monday too.  I had never been to opening day or, for that matter, day matches during opening week.  I was very surprised at the size of the crowds on the outside courts.  This was even while Federer and then Serena were playing in Ashe.  It was impossible to get near some of the matches and I was quite frustrated ...

During the first week, I had found different matches being streamed on The Tennis Channel's website and enjoyed having the choices they offered, particularly when I was not next to a TV.  When, late in the tournament, TTC seemed to lose its rights to stream live, I switched to ESPN360 and that was okay, although not very sharp.  Last ...
