he has OCD, there's never been anything wrong with his shorts. there's videos of him playing in juniors and there were absolutely no rituals, it literally took him like 2 seconds to serve once he stepped up to the line. since then he's gradually added more steps to his routine, the butt pick being the most famous of course
currently, the serve ritual (starting at the baseline) is:
1. ball bounce with butt pick
2. tug left sleeve
3. tug right sleeve
4. touch nose
5. push hair behind left ear
6. touch nose
7. push hair behind right ear
8. bounce ball 4-7 times
9. serve
with all of that he normally gets a time violation warning every 1 or 2 matches, but amazingly he gets it all done faster than a couple years ago when there was no enforcement of the time rule.
if he's still playing 5 years from now it'll be pretty awesome watching him try to fit a 20 step routine into the time limits.

Evans should be happy about that, otherwise he'd end up with a broken nose from the headbutting.

He is grabbing his shorts around the crotch now too.

I actually prefer this over what Roddick used to do though!

Wow, Del Potro looked like garbage in that last set, but Hewitt showed a lot of heart, he left it all out there.

Milos vs Lopez coming up on Court 17 in about 30 minutes.
This is the first real hurdle but Lopez is a headcase. I would be very dissapointed if Milos had any trouble here.
I hope we get the same commentators 
Kvitova is getting crushed on that court right now.

Raonic is playing like he's never seen a lefty serve before.
But hey, he breaks to start the 2nd!

Not that Lopez ever did anything to earn it, it is nice to see Raonic avoid being broken.

Atta boy, Milos! Well done. Decent potential fourth round matchup too...probably Gasquet.

i expect Tursunov to beat Gasquet. Gasquet is garbage, he would actually be the easier opponent for Milos because he's just a brianless ballbasher.
Tursunov is very crafty and very tricky and could give Milos a lot of problems.

Dont worry about me, I'm really good at predictions
Tursunov just retired in the 4th set.
Milos vs Gasquet on Monday.
