2009 Western & Southern Women’s & Masters III

August 12th, 2009

Hey Tennis Friends!

It looks like the forecasted “isolated thunderstorms” have missed the tournament for today.

Today’s report is a little lengthy, but it’s filled with good stuff!

Television coverage begins tomorrow, so I have been restricted from my courtside coverage, but, there’s plenty to show you “Outside the Lines!™”

The final scores for the matches I mentioned are:

Jalena Jankovic d. Maria Kirilenko 7-6(6), 6-3

Caroline Wozniacki d. Aleksandra Wozniak 4-6, 6-4, 6-4

Kim Clijsters d. Patty Schnyder 6-2, 7-5

Bethanie Mattek-Sands / Nadia Petrova d. Ipek Senoglu / Yaroslava Shvedova
6-3, 6-3

I’ll see you next time, with more tennis, . . . outside the lines!

2009 Western & Southern Women’s & Masters I

August 10th, 2009

Hey Tennis Friends!

Television coverage of this event doesn’t start until later this week, so I have exclusive video of a major tennis story, that you can only find right here at GroundsPass.net . . .

The final score for the match I mentioned is:

Kim Clijsters d. Marion Bartoli 6-4, 6-3

Tennis has changed a little since Kim Clijsters has played:
“When I was up 3-0, and the chair umpire said that Bartoli is requesting her coach, I said, ‘What? Is that allowed now?’ ”

I’ll see you next time, with more tennis, . . . outside the lines!

Hey Tennis Friends!

Quote from Maria Sharapova during the post match press conference,
“There’s nothing that a basket of balls can’t achieve.”

2009 LA Women’s Tennis Champs V

August 7th, 2009

Hey Tennis Friends!

Only four matches today . . .

Here’s the sign that is above each urinal, explaining the conservation:
Touch-free sign

And, here is a close-up of (what I have since coined) the “pee bee”:

No scores this time, because I know that some of you are recording the TV coverage, and I don’t want to spoil it for you.

I’ll see you next time, with more tennis, . . . outside the lines!
