Tuesday Net Post (YC)
Mornin'. I'm jumping in here early because after the three-day weekend, things are apt to be pretty hectic at the office. I do plan to have a more substantial post later in the day (subject: James Blake), but meanwhile this will be the place for you to discuss today's matches, follow Master Ace's scheduling alerts to see who's playing where, and when, and generally gab about anything that interests you, including tennis - at a time of year when that's a real ask for all but the most dedicated of fans.
I spent the past three days in Boston and on Cape Cod with my family and friends. The weather was gorgeous and we had a chance to catch up with old friends. Luke had a great time; there must have been 15 kids, all of them about the same age, around for the weekend.
Looking toward China, I see Novak Djokovic picked up the win in Beijing. It came at just the right time, let's see if he can build on it and finish the year strong again. Do we detect a pattern developing here?
It's nice to be home, but I did a lot of driving so I'm going to auto-post this, take a peek to see if the New York Jets are going to pull it out over the Miami Dolphins, and I'll be back with y'all at about the time you read this. Enjoy today's tennis!
