Weekend Tennis Roundup

Indian Wells is in high gear and even the desert heat was no match for Tommy Paul's sexy 'stache or Robert Farah's bountiful booty. Full report BELOW.

 

Tommy Paul was on fire last night, knocking out Alexander Zverev in three thrilling sets

Between his movie-star looks, New Balance kit, cool confidence ... 

and hint of a mustache ...

It was a night to remember. 

Here's hoping he can keep it going.

P.S. Tommy has been a mustache recruiter since 2018

Tom Hill barely finished his morning espresso before Maria Sakkari demolished Petra Kvitova

The famous pic-with queen LaWanda gets her prize fish: Maxime Cressey

Arnaud Bovy assumes the position

An early doubles loss didn't stop Jamie Murray from enjoying his time in Indian Wells

Speaking of movie-star looks: Did you get a load of Czech hunk Tomas Machac?  

After an early loss to Medvedev he left for Phoenix 

If this is who Simona Halep traded in Darren Cahill for, I'd say there's a balance due

Juan Betancourt took a break from his competition TV show ...

to cause another distraction in the desert 

After qualifying for the main draw, Liam Broady lost a heartbreaker to Miomir Kecmanovic

But still managed to be there for fellow losing Brit Andy Murray

An early exit never gets Vasek Pospisil down 

J.J. Wolf's lower body proved too much for Hugo Gaston

Borna Coric came up a tad short in his return to the tour, losing in three to Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. But my pal Greg got plenty of photos of him looking like THIS.

Maybe there's some content coming from the Croat 

Sadly, Robert Farah wasn't doing this when my friend met him!

How about a taste of Oscar? 

And Andy

Pablo Andujar

In Challenger Land ...

Fernando Verdasco captured the singles title at the Challenger in Monterrey, his first title of any kind since 2016

And Krajicek/Verdugo took the doubles

Earlier Verdasco beat Christian Harrison, who had a nice run to the semifinals 

And would you get a load of Roseto doubles champs Hugo Nys and Jan Zielinski?

And last but not least, J.J. Wolf, who qualified and won a round in the main draw of Indian Wells and then came this close to knocking out Roberto Bautista-Agut, shared another update of his tennis life HERE. (Do I even want to know what this cover of "Rocket Man" is about?)
