Is it time for a changing of the guard? That’s the big story currently dominating the men’s side of the draw. Unlike the women’s draw, all the big names will put their names on the line at Roland Garros, so there will be no asterisk for the man who emerges from the draw to take the championship.
We’ve watched the top dog become the third wheel, and a guy who was formerly the odd man out blaze a path through the winter and spring... Read More

Yet after Novak Djokovic revealed recently that he had changed his diet to combat gluten allergies, it is amazing how little we consider the everyday calories that athletes put... Read More

Boy, do I really need a new pair of glasses. Constructed as much out of electrical tape and Gorilla Glue as they are the original frames these days, my literal worldview just keeps getting more and more askew as they warp and wind around. Yet despite the fact that I seem to be harder on spectacles than Djokovic on his rackets, I keep on persevering. Perhaps that’s why I always see things a little differently… and that’s not necessarily... Read More

We’re already at the quarter pole for 2011?! Wow… this year just keeps sneaking past me, days turning into weeks and barreling through the months before I even realize it. At least some semblance of normalcy is on the horizon for me now, as spring arrives with my residential situation in focus and the ability to really hunker down to some work. Read More
