Wait, so is Serena going to pull from Fed Cup??

And you’re right, that Gatorade commercial is horrendous. Plus, can’t they come up with another theme? They’re totally ripping off Nike, but with crappier music.

Also, I thought LM was the first sunday start! :(

Serena’s still on the FC roster that was just released.

Yea, I dunno about that Gatorade spot. I’m not digging it. Anyway, best get used to it — we’ll only see it 10k times through the eoy.

Nope, MC apparently, then Estoril. I was surprised to hear that too. Maybe they’re just now deciding and are slowly not announcing them. ;)

In the next installment of West Side Story song endorsements for Maria:
Immigrant goes to America,
Many hellos in America;
Nobody knows in America
Nick Bollettieri’s in America!
