Brad Gilbert spurns Dave & Lynn's hospitality at Magdalen
I was astonished to see from his website - which makes a compelling read - that when Brad, recently sacked by Roddick, is in London, he eschews Magdalen's delicately balanced and elegant cuisine for the Ivy & Blue Elephant. Shame on you, Brad.

Brad Gilbert sacked - pursued by top Magdalen tennis talent
Andy Roddick has sacked Brad. I know many a Magdalen player who will be saddened and excited by this news. We all tighten our laces in change-overs; some of us put on and take off baseball hats with remarkable effect. Perhaps Brad will be available to cope with the coaching dearth at Magdalen? I had to go elsewhere to get expert tuition and would be happy to head to Florida or California, especially at winter.

Sharapova picked as new face of TAG Heuer
I think I am pleased by this news (see the TAG site for promo photos). As a keen tennis player and a proud wearer of a TAG, the convergence can only be a good thing. I shall wear mine more prominently and play with the bezel during changeovers.

"Roger the Great"
The kind of headline we other Rogers can only dream of. Roger might be better at tennis and richer to boot, but we other Rogers, we have something to offer as well. Answers on a postcard.

Partner-swapping rife in tennis
Beastly, unfaithful men with no sense of loyalty! Just like Magdalen doubles tournaments. Oooh, the number of different partners some people have had.

Sampras reveals all
From a recent interview: "I'm not at all disappointed about what the sport did for my finances and my name. But I was tired of tennis and it consumed me... I spent so many years getting to the top and then keeping my place as number one, and it was very stressful. Throughout my career, I never had one perfectly good night's sleep. When it was all over, I started to sleep fine without any concerns in my head, as I didn't have to think about catching a plane or playing a really hard match the following day. I am still calming things down, and that is why I'm not playing any professional tennis."
Well, Pistol Pete, I feel the same about running Magdalen Vth Tennis Team.
