The Big Three Dominate

I've been talking a lot about up and comers (most notably Milos Raonic) and how they are helping to shape one of the most exciting times in men's tennis history. There's a lot of young blood with enormous potential and that's obviously always a great thing for a professional sport. But the fact of the matter is that when matches count and tournaments are on the line, the ATP is a three man show.

Djokovic's Commercial Doesn't Make Sense but is Awesome

Novak Djokovic is really embracing his superstar status well. He's even got the making of random, nonsensical commercials that turn out to be super cool down. Watch for yourself.

The Year of Djokovic Continues

Another tournament, another Novak Djokovic win. The Serbian is 18-0 this year and doesn't seem to be letting up for anyone. This BNP Paribas Open was particularly impressive as he cruised to the semi's by bageling his opponents left and right. When he looked up from the beatings he was giving, he found himself on a collision course to face Federer and Nadal on back to back days.

Where in the US is Mats Wilander?

Have you ever wondered what happens to a tennis great when his tour days are over? Agassi works hard to improve his school, Johnny Mac entertains tennis fans through his blunt but insightful commentary and Mats Wilander... he apparently makes house calls in his Winnebago to teach just about anyone how to play tennis.

I'm not sure what is most surprising from this article - it could be the fact that he has a Puerto Rican telephone number that people call to set up their own fantasy camp or maybe that he sleeps in parking lots and then the next morning gets up and runs old people through a drill called "the heart attack."

Whichever one it is, the whole story is an interesting look into one ex-athlete's life where he's decided not to take the conventional post-tennis cushy job. Mats Wilander loves tennis and he apparently loves to drive ridiculous distances to teach random people how to play tennis for significantly less than he's worth. That a boy Mats!
