A quick shout out to our women's Fed Cup team. They've advanced to the World Group II playoffs in April by defeating Chile.

16-year-old Bianca Andreescu, Katherine Sebov, Charlotte Robillard-Millette and Carol Zhao helped them move on.

Poop - Vasek loses in the final, but still a nice tourney in San Francisco. Set scores were 5-7, 6-3, 2-6 for Ze Zhang of China.

The umpire that Shapovalov hit underwent surgery for a fractured orbital bone.

Ouch.

Chardy currently ranked #68 in singles, yes that's certainly a big win for Diez.

Just a follow-up to the Adler - Williams controversy during the Aussie Open where he stated that Venus Williams was using "guerrilla tactics". He was fired by ESPN and is now suing the network for wrongful termination.

Former tennis pro Doug Adler maintains he was describing Williams' aggressive style last month as "guerrilla" tactics and not comparing her with a "gorilla."

He apologized for his poor word choice but was let go from ESPN mid-tournament.

I think that the greatest global unification cause is that everyone everywhere should pray that this young man gets to a third date.
