Two rivals in the women's game have never been this friendly (besides Chris and Martina) - I wonder if it's because neither one lasted very long at the top? lockerz.com/s/213869976

So many tournaments staging exhos with retired players. Furthers signs that tennis really has an ageing fanbase that is stuck in the past.

I assume Barbara Schett is at the Legends dinner in her capacity as ES reporter, rather than ex-player.

Is that Majoli in the middle?
I'm very surprised at how little attention the men's game gets despite its awesomeness right now. When Sampras puked against Corretja, it was something kids at my school talked about. Now I just hear vague and rare pleasantries like "Hey, you following the tennis?"

Haha. They showed her before the match started. She was chatting with Old Hag. They showed Arantxa too, but she was sitting with Illie Nastase.

I blame Azza for all this. She was beating Sharapova comprehensively last year in Rome before that bout of hypochondria, and that tournament seemed to turn it around for our new Career Slam holder.

6-3 Masha.
Errani settled down now. Second set shouldn't be as lopsided at the beginning, but Masha's winning this.

Probably, although Errani is already down a break.
I just...don't care about either of these ladies.

For some reason I always see Monica as a Quebecer. Maybe it's the Celine Dion resemblance.
Anyway, I also picture her eating fries with mayo right now.

She's back in her seat now. I'll be she snatches the mike and discusses her eating disorder or the stabbing.
