One Day at a Time

With his ranking slipping to No. 95 in the world, it sure was beginning to seem like the only thing Robby Ginepri was good at anymore was looking hot shirtless. But this weekend the 26-year-old American stunned everyone -- including himself -- by winning the ATP tournament in Indianapolis, upsetting No. 3 seed and fellow American Sam Querrey, 6-2, 6-4, in the final. "It’s funny how things work out,” said Ginepri, who never lost serve winning his first singles title in four years. “I was trying to take one match at a time. I hadn’t won two back-to-back matches all year, so after I won that second one, I maybe got that monkey off my back a little bit for the year and just kept going." Ginepri last won an ATP title in 2005, when he also captured the Indy championship. This win will propel him to No. 56 next week. Somewhere in town, Ms. Romano is awfully proud.
