Washington isn’t a city of vertical architecture, but
among the 10- and 12-story office buildings and hotels
surrounding the new professional team tennis stadium, home of the Washington Kastles, dozens of men could be seen standing out on terraces, verandas, rooftops, or pressed hard against office glass looking down and out onto the tennis court Wednesday night.

He should have been among those top eight
guys in Shanghai, but he faltered in the stretch.
Have we seen the best of Blake’s game? A number of players played all over the place this year, taking steps forward, then steps back. Consistency was ...

Tennis Diary is on a roll. I’m at
the WTA event in Carson just south of Los
Angeles this week, Mike McIntyre is in Toronto, Nate Cunningham will be at the Cincinnati event next week, I will be at the ATP event in Los Angeles the week after that, and John Keeley, who writes for MVN partner site On Frozen Blog, will be at the Washington Kastles match on Wednesday night.

It’s time for Davis Cup again but does
anyone really care? Here’s what’s wrong and a suggestion
for fixing it. Okay, So What’s Wrong With Davis Cup? Which would you rather win: a slam title or Davis Cup? Duh. What’s the prize money for a slam title? Oh, about $1.4 million. And a whole lot more if you win the U.S. Open title and the U.S. Open Series. What’s the prize money for a Davis ...

Conflict of interest abounds in the incestuous world
of professional tennis. After the Israeli doubles team of
Jonathan Erlich and Andy Ram won the Australian Open in January, the ATP asked them to play the tournament in Dubai. The Arab emirates of ...

Davis Cup kicks in again this week with
ranking points looming in the future but without a
player who could have gummed up the works. Yes, it’s time for the second of four Davis Cup weekends this year and visions of five set, knock down, drag out matches with four of the best fast court players on a slick indoor surface were dancing through my head. Maybe Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Andy Roddick ...

On a busy street in Beijing I discovered
a tennis shop stocked with Wilson and Prince racquets.
Since I didn’t have time to ask the sales staff much, it’s unclear how knowledgeable they were. But you don’t need very experienced staff if your clientele aren’t sophisticated. The prices were about full US retail plus maybe 30%, and I didn’t see any smaller companies represented. I also didn’t ...

Hamburg action, and some new thoughts as the
trivalry heats up on clay. Nadal/Murray was a disappointment,
to say the least. A few of today’s other matches were equally routine, while others were fairly surprising. Verdasco was able to repeat his clay victories over Ferrer at last year’s French Open and in Stuttgart. Ferrer pulled out a tight match between the two in Valencia a ...

The U.S. men actually looked like they belonged
on the dirt in Paris for a change. I
feel like I just stepped into the annual United States Dirtballer’s Convention. Five of the U.S. men won their first round matches at the French Open in Paris. One of them, Wayne Odesnik , actually won a second round match if you can believe that. U.S. tennis players don’t typically have the mindset for ...
