Thought this was the U.S. Open not Medieval Times. What’s with the goblet? Oh and yeah, Tommy Lee Jones is looking well.
Still in a rain delay at the U.S. Open… While we wait, here’s a look back at Jimmy Connors’ remarkable run at the 1991 U.S. Open at the age of 39. Love that neon racket.
Pretty cool shot of the Roger Federer Nike poster that was seen on TV during Federer’s midnight beat down session of Jaun Monaco.
Current status at the U.S. Open.
Bubba Watson channels his inner Sgt. Slaughter during Thursday’s first round at the U.S. Open.
Tiger Woods makes an appearance on the cover of Sports Illustrated’s U.S. Open preview issue. Wait for it…. The dreaded SI cover jinx strikes again.
It appears Lil Wayne really is a tennis genius? If reading Weezy’s hand written note from Rikers Island post tournament doesn’t give you chills, we don’t know what will. Oh and with Patrick McEnroe’s recent resignation as the United States Davis Cup Captain we think Lil Wayne should definitely garner some consideration.
This is an example of how not to endear yourself to tennis fans, cut Rafa’s trophy presentation as quick as you can and switch to “Monday Night Football.” We guess ESPN couldn’t wait for that huge week 2 match-up between the Ravens and Jets? Good thing the match only lasted four sets. Broadcasting fail.

Tennis anyone?
For their part, Williams and Wozniacki have embraced the attention. After her win over Maria Sharapova, Wozniacki was asked about what she looks for in a tennis outfit. From AP:
“For me it’s important to feel good on court and of course to look good,” she said. “Then I can focus on my tennis at 100 percent. (The attention) is nice. I think I’ll get a lot of male fans now.”
Earlier, Wozniacki had said that one of the players she has always looked up to is Anna Kournikova.
“Well, to be honest, Kournikova was always for me the girl that I thought was just … I wanted to be like her, definitely,” said Wozniacki. “I thought she was very pretty; she was handling everything really nicely. You saw her everywhere in the commercials. I think I would more go for Kournikova.”
Epic fight breaks out in the nosebleeds at the U.S. Open during the Novak Djokovic and Philipp Petzschner match Thursday night. What we found even more brilliant was the commentary by the guy filming…
“We goin’ to be on the YouTube… I got the whole escapade.”

Turns out it wasn’t heatstroke… Just in case you were all wondering we are happy to hear that Victoria Azerenka is fine after being diagnosed with a mild concussion after her on-court collapse yesterday at the U.S. Open. Who knew running sprints was so dangerous?
“I was warming up in the gym prior to my match against Gisela Dulko when I fell while running a sprint,” 10th-seeded Azarenka said in a statement released by tournament officials about five hours after her collapse. “I fell forward and hit my arm and head.”
Roger Federer killin’ it in another TV commercial - This time for Lindt chocolate truffles. In this ad Roger seems to be having some issues getting his “chocolate balls” past security? Consider this our U.S. Open preview.
Lil Wayne’s rather detailed hand written letter from Rikers Island prison to Sports Illustrated discussing his picks for the upcoming U.S. Open. Wow,
Weezy knows his tennis!
