Novak Djokovic is Waiting for the Rest of the Tour at Rome

With his early exit at Madrid Nole got to Rome sonner than expected.

He has great memories at Rome as a 2 time champ: '08 & '11.

Last year he was runner-up to Rafa in a straight set affair.

Surely there will be no early round upsets this coming week.

Look for Nole to be fresh and make a deep run.

Possibly even a trophy lift?

I'd love to see another edition of Nole/Rafa again before Roland Garros.

Maria Sharapova Sails into 2nd Round at Aussie Open and Joins Twitter

Australian Open - Women's First Round

2 Maria Sharapova d Olga Puchkova - 60 60

Much has been made of her 55 minute double bagel.

She now has a 00 at 3 of the 4 Slams. She's only missing one Wimbledon.

Whoop-de-doo.

Post match: But even if you win 7-6 in the third, you've still won the match.

Better excitement is that she joined Twitter yesterday.

Not even 24 hours yet and she has 33.7K followers.

Her first (and only thus far) tweet had a this photo captioned:

Your ultimate sugarmama has arrived #myfirsttweet.

Shirtless Sexy David Ferrer is a Cat Person

They call him a bull dog but in fact, he's a big ol' pussy cat.

A while back Ferru Tweeted these purr-fectly sweet photos.

At 30 Ferru comes off his best year on tour yet.

He's finished the year ranked #5 - just behind the big 4.

He won a tour-leading 7 titles - on three different surfaces no less.

He also finally won a Masters 1000 title with an impressive win at Paris.

And he posted two Sf showings at the Slams: Roland Garros & US Open.

I'm loving his chances for continued success in the coming year.

Vamos cat man!

David Ferrer into Rome Quarterfinals

ATP Masters 1000 Rome - Third Round

6 David Ferrer d 11 Gilles Simon - 60 76(5)

How's this as a mark for an amazingly consistent career:

This is David's 27th trip to a Masters 1000 quarterfinal: 18-8.

His 1st Masters Qf appearance was way back at Hamburg in 2004.

It's his 3rd at Rome - he won his previous 2 and advanced to the final in '10.

David is 30, currently ranked #6 and owns 14 ATP titles including 3 this year.

He will play the winner of Murray/Gasquet.

He's a man to admire.

Fabio Fognini Tweets Awesome Runner-Up Photo

Fabio tweeted this after his loss. He didn't caption it either.

Didn't have to - his expression says it all.

He says he's not shaving again until he wins a title (challengers included).

This was his first ATP final.

Personally, I'm digging the scruff.

I had a brief encounter with Fabio a few years back at Indian Wells.

At the time I had no idea who he was cuz he really hadn't done anything yet.

I'm happy to report that he was very charming - and goofy.

I became an instant fan.

And am always happy to see him have a nice result.
