um, wtf is with that picture?

TTC could probably save some money by adding Tracey Austin to lineup, dropping all the expensive coverage rights and just have John, Martina & Tracey tell us all about their careers. Again. Weeee!

On a related note, televised coverage of the Family Circle Cup featured entire rallies without voice over from the commentators. It was much appreciated. Did you hear they might move the US Men’s Clay Championships to the Family Circle site? I’m all for more joint WTA/ATP events. Assuming player strikes don’t count as an event.

How many guys are crammed into that hot tub? I mean, is it a Palm Springs thing or what?

That photo is AWESOME. Nole always struck me as a dirty boy, and Nadal’s expression is priceless in its naive charm. (where is *his* hand exactly??)

CJ, did you see the part where it says, “USTA says it will make a decision by the end of April as to whether it will seek to move the Men’s Clay Court Championship to Charleston”?

Yea, I’m a big fan of the ATP TV feed due to its total lack of commentating. Honestly, do we really need some dumbass to tell us things like how many break chances the player has or to talk over the point about what they had for lunch?

Maybe that’s harsh ((shrug)).

Anyway, the TTC French Open Mix coverage on DirecTV is going to be multi-court with no chatter. I’ll be like an ADD kid in a crystal meth tennis candy store. Gotta go get me a dish or scour the phones for a friend with one.

Clair, yep… I know it’s a great site where fans can get really close to the players, so I’m not sure if it could handle both events in the same week, but maybe back to back?

Lynn, I’ve never had dish envy, but the multi-court coverage sounds so sweet.
