15 burning questions with Ryan Harrison

If you could switch places with anyone and live their life for one day, who would it be and why?

It would be Drew Brees on a Sunday, probably in a conference game, or a playoff game.

What is your favorite piece of clothing?

Pajama bottoms.  Hands down, they're my clothing of choice.  I would be caught in my hotel room in my pajama bottoms 365 days a year.  They are my comfortable clothing of choice.

How would you describe your fashion style?

Not very good [laughter].  I’m the type of guy who will walk in and buy clothes - I don’t remember the last time I went shopping, it’s been a while, but I go into random moods where I’ll go and buy a bunch of stuff and then I’ll wear that out for the next 3 months, and then I’ll go [shopping] again.

Quick Q & A With Sabine Lisicki

Sabine Lisicki sat down with me after her 2nd round win at the Sony Ericsson Open.  When she realized that she was going to be videotaped she stopped being as giggly as she was in a previous interview, but after a few questions she began to open up and flash that brilliant smile.

Players always have a tendency to tell me that their most embarrassing moment is on YouTube.  This time, I chose not to post it, but I'm sure you can find it if you are so inclined.   She is such a nice person! 

Make sure you turn up the volume!  Enjoy!

Photos and Video: Fernando González retires at the Sony Ericsson Open

Fernando González called it a career last night at the Sony Ericsson Open and I just wanted to share with you some photos of his last match since it wasn't televised.  The atmosphere in the stadium was electric, filled with Chilean chants trying to will Gonzo to win.  Unfortunately he didn't, but he gave it his all, and his fans couldn't ask for anything more.  By the end of the match he looked tired but content as he took in his final moments on the court.   His forehand is one of the best in history and it will be greatly missed.  Enjoy!
