Let me first say that I think Novak played a smart match. He used Andy Roddick's power against him by blocking back most of his serves. What wasn't smart was the way he handled the post match interview. I know Roddick said some things (probably in jest), but Djokovic should ...

Last night Stacey Gardner, the "Deal or no Deal" chick (and Mardy Fish's fiance) was cheering on her man as he lost to Rafa Nadal in four sets. She looked fine in her LA Dodgers hat, but then again, I think she looks fine ...

Ana Ivanovic was upset by China's Zheng Jie, 6-1 and 6-4 in the third round of Wimbledon. No Ana, no Maria Sharapova, and no Brooklyn Decker means no more tennis for me. SAD, so SAD!

Robby Ginepri, the last American standing at this year's French Open, was sent packing today with a 7-6, 6-3, 6-1 loss to Fernando Gonzalez. It's not like there were very many good Americans in the tourney anyway. The US men had 10 singles players (with only James Blake seeded) ...
