Sizzle Alert

Here’s what’s really hot right now: Dmitry Tursunov's blog at the ATP Tour’s website. I urge you all to hustle on over there to check it out.

Now get this: As I write this, Miguel Seabra is getting ready to escort TennisWorld‘s friend and regular poster ‘”Poppy” to the player party in Estoril.

I posted Mikey’s first communiqué from Estoril below, so I don’t want to steal his thunder by writing an elaborate post to knock it off the home page, but we’ll be ramping up our posts in the next few days.

BTW, did you all see that Andre Agassi has committed to Queens? I guess this means that Andre is going to make the big summer push: grass-hard-U.S. Open. We’ll have to pay tribute to this at the right time. The field for Queens once again is outstanding, so I have one question:

If you’re Andy Roddick and you get Rafael Nadal in the Queens final and crush him, does that make you feel better about your record against The Mighty Fed?

Ah, the sweet science of “the indirect”!
