In Miami, in an effort to promote the Sony Ericsson Open which begins tomorrow, Venus Williams and Andy Murray headed out to the streets. Getting on top of top specially modified cars, the two played an “impromptu” match, if a publicity stunt can be referred to as “impromptu”… No word on if the cars actually were driving around too or not with the tennis stars on top, but I for one doubt it. Meaning this promotion is lame and not dangerous enough; now, do this on the highway and I’ll be impressed.

But All That Precious Cat Gut!
Mikhail Youzhny is a young Russian man who is ranked 11th in the ATP Men’s tennis rankings–ha, as if you didn’t already know! I know all my readers are rabid tennis-maniacs–who was playing in a match down in Miami the other day when he lost a point and took it quite personally. He ends up hurting himself so badly he is forced to take a timeout so he can be treated by a trainer to staunch the blood! 39 seconds into this video you’ll see what I mean.
See, this is why I’ve always said, “Never play tennis, backgammon or roulette with a Russian, or else someone’s head will bleed.” It’s my only credo.
