His mom said something to the effect that tennis was a good fit for Sam as opposed to basketball or another team sport because he didn't like to be touched and was a more solitary person. I guess he's a homebody too <br /><br />Savannah's point that he might benefit from traveling with a parent or guardian who is looking out for him outside of his tennis career, is valid. He strikes me as someone who may have benefited from a college stint, he's got the privileged frat boy demanor down pat w/ references to guido land. <br /><br />Isner is his good friend and could be a complete prick for all I know, but he's generally saying that right things & seems committed to being a pro athlete. Though apparently not w/o a struggle as PMac related a tale about how Isner was longing to be at UGA instead of whatever tourney he was playing as a pro.<br /><br />I was really disappointed by Shenay Perry yesterday. You are playing a qualifier, (a genuine one, not a star on the comeback) and you fold like a house of cards. Pathetic!Kiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550894850075283851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-757702474597183495.post-16726182743955753612010-05-26T05:45:01.269-05:002010-05-26T05:45:01.269-05:00I also thought Mina was a breath of fresh air.

I'm always a bit shocked to look up on the screen and see a new Black player on the court.<br /><br />::<br /><br />Great photo of the sisters.Craig Hickmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17336837289054015211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-757702474597183495.post-13221174431589483532010-05-25T18:59:17.854-05:002010-05-25T18:59:17.854-05:00I loved the way young Gianni Mina played against R...I loved the way young Gianni Mina played against Rafa -- absolutely fearless and going for his shots. And already he has a lot of game. Maybe he needs to work on some touch stuff, but he's fast and has some good groundies.<br /><br />On top of that, he has class. He wasn't showboating or playing to the crowd, and he applauded Rafa when Rafa changed a call on a first serve that was called out but was good. <br /><br />He was a pleasure to watch, and I hope we will be seeing much more of him. I think he will be joining my little group of faves.Helen Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07008651858978530028noreply@blogger.com
