Wawrinka's Answer To His "Clothes Critics"


Seems that Stan Wawrinka received a lot of criticism about his shorts at the French Open.  He must have given his critics another option this week as ESPN Magazine had him as their feature star in this month's issue.

A "unique" view of his phenomenal backhand that won him the French Open.

NUCULA: Nuke It Or At Least Fix It!



All of us officials have gone through the nightmare of working with NUCULA and maybe its time for us to demand that they either fix the thing or get rid of it...

We have all known new officials who have had to wait days and weeks after taking their tests before they had an account...

After taking the tests, they want us to "ASK" them to recertify us.  Why in the world would we be taking the tests if we didn't want to be recertified?

Even though we take the tests and they have us in some database that sends us our scores, they still ask us to go in and enter what school and the scores.  The only problem is that there is no place to enter your score.

They want us to fill out a complete work record but they only count the first few chairs you do and don't count ITA work for much of anything...

Pray that the nuke comes sooner than later...  I'm sure they could go to Plano High School and find a teenager that could fix the thing in a few minutes so why not get it done right now?

2015 French Open--A Great Tournament But The Worst Styles Ever.


The French Open unveils perhaps the worst ball girl outfit in history.  Looks like a cross between a 1960's car hop and a 3 year old on a playground.


At least we now know what the ball kids are doing when they aren't working.  They need to rest up because they do an awesome job--and run miles and miles...


Please tell me we aren't going back to the shorts of yesteryear...


And herein is one of the reasons that Djokovic is so immensely popular.  He's enjoys life and make sure the ball kids have a great time too.
