Sometimes it’s fun to be the FIRST to arrive. We have seen it all and heard it all. But what can we “share”? Ok. Only the obvious.

 

Let’s start with the fiery and fiesty Frenchman Benoit Paire. He Once was ranked as high as 17 in the world on the ATP tour. He got really rockstar skinny a few years back and grew a beard. Today folks the look is all new. Yup. He Bleached out his hair. Ok. Be looking for Benoit.

 

One guy you don’t see in Bob Bryan. The other half of the famous Bryan Brothers doubles team. The Brothers turned 4o in April and quite honestly, they take stupid risks. Yes. Mike don’t hit me if you see me. But really snow skiing this year? That’s risky on your old knees and you’re a newbie at skiing? Just saying. And then BOB|MIKE as ELENA calls them. You two climbed up on the roof in ROME? You do know you can say no….

 

No. No is even actually a whole sentence. Yes, we know the tourney asked you for the photo op. Ok. They couldn’t ask two 2o year olds instead of two 40 year olds? Yikes, the stretch between the rungs on the roof ladder caused Bobs hip range of motion to stress it? ️Maybe. I saw it…

 

But then again the twins played a demo last year of beach tennis on their old bodies. They have both had hips issues and should always play in compression shorts.. Tall guys really struggle with keeping their hips happy.

 

So Mike is entered in his 70th something slam with Sam Querrey and Bobs home in Florida with the beautiful family he and Michelle have created.

 

Gotta hop. Gulbis Qualied. Ruben lost last round of qualies. So he is a lucky loser. Fingers crossed for next few days. A lucky loser means he might still get in if someone pulls out of the draw.
