Hey Tennis Friends!
Another report full of activity that doesn’t even cover it all . . .
I ran into ATP chair umpire Fergus Murphy today. At first he didn’t recognize me, so I had to reintroduce myself, reminding him I was the announcer on Stadium 2 at Indian Wells. As soon as he realized who I was, the next thing he said was, “Well, where’s your hat?”
The final scores for the matches I mentioned are:
Ernests Gulbis d. Yen-Hsun Lu 7-5, 6-2
Ryan Sweeting d. Taylor Dent 6-4, 2-6, 6-3
Yen-Hsun Lu / Dusan Vemic d. Stephen Huss / Ross Hutchins 3-6, 7-6 (10-6)
Marat Safin d. Robby Ginepri 3-6, 6-3, 6-4
I’ll see you next time, with more tennis, . . . outside the lines!
