Dancing with the WTA & ATP Stars

In celebration of the off-season, lets take a look at the dance moves of some of our favorite tennis pros. As you can see below, dancing skills vary immensely by player. Thankfully, everyone looks like they are having a good time!

Dancing with the Tennis Stars in Italy featuring Flavia Pennetta and Francesca Schiavone - Baillandon Con le Stelle. 

Venus and Serena - is this Salsa dancing?




Blast from the past - Novak and Rafa in Colombia. Rafa seems a bit shy. 


Retired ATP tennis star - Andy Roddick - showing off his moves. Why didn't we ever get to see these moves while he was playing? Guess it would have undermined his locker-room cred. 




Bonus - Andy faces off with his wife Brooklyn Decker in a dance-off. I think Andy won handily.

US Open 2018: Welcome Back & New Logo

Well...it's been 2 years hasn't it. That's what heading to grad school will do to a person. Sometimes the axiom, 'the more things change, the more they stay the same,' rings true. But sometimes, as with the case of the US Open's new logo, one steps away, and comes to find that things have gone completely awry.



Is this Arial font? Are these letters lower case? Really, in this political climate, lower case US? Is lower case an affront to becoming great again?

Also, is this logo actually in Arial Italics?

According to the USTA, "the logo created by renowned graphic design firm Chermayeff & Geismar & Haviv, is a streamlined and modernized version of the tournament’s iconic flaming ball logo, which was first introduced in 1997."

The old logo had a solid 20-year run. This logo probably won't make it this long because it lacks pizzazz and lacks the distinction the previous logo offered. 



And here's a look at an earlier version of the US Ope…

US Open 2018: Rafael Nadal in Practice to Defend Open Chamionship Title

Rafael Nadal took an hour to work on his forehands in the new Louis Armstrong stadium at the US Open, today. 



Accompanied by his champion coach, Carlos Moya, Rafa spent the session working on down-the-line forehands and serves. 



Rafa appeared to be at ease during the practice session but tensed up during as he practiced serving.  Overall, this was one of the more aggressive practice sessions this blogger has seen and one the first times seeing a male tennis pro with male hitting partners and not other pros. I suppose this is one of the benefits of having a Grand Slam winning coach.
