First Serb: Novak Djokovic has always had more than his share of detractors, but I think he's often on the right side of things -- even when it comes at a personal cost. His support for Serbia's student-led democracy movement made him a target of pro-government attacks and is believed to have contributed to his decision to relocate his family to Greece. Now that the students have helped bring about the defeat of Aleksandar Vucic, it's nice to see Novak celebrating their victory.

Tennis Tuesday: Six-Pack

 

A half dozen "real" guys hit the court in various states of undress BELOW.

The Italian 'Job': Lorenzo Musetti Rumored to Have Bedded Matteo Berrettini's Girlfriend

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then how many do we get for this “deer in the headlights” video of Matteo Berrettini?

Asked about fellow Italian Lorenzo Musetti's title in Lyon, the normally charming Roman suddenly looked as though he'd been asked to explain a suspicious charge on a joint credit card.

“Are we live?” he asked, before smiling uncomfortably and then offering that Musetti had worked hard so "I guess he deserved it."

How magnanimous.

The awkward exchange has added fuel to rumors of a falling-out between the Italian stallions, with Corriere dello Sport reporting speculation about an alleged hookup between Musetti and Berrettini's now-ex-girlfriend, dancer Vanessa Bellini. (Note to cuckolds: Don't feel so bad -- if Matteo can get cheated on, any man can.) 

If true, this lucky bitch young woman has now bedded two of the hottest athletes of all time -- and who could blame her for wanting to sample Musetti's BABY MAKER?

For her part, Veronica Confalonieri -- Musetti's partner and the mother of his two children -- has reportedly forgiven him for the alleged indiscretion. (Italian gossip journalist Gabriele Parpiglia had reported trouble between the pair back in July, which I'm guessing was related to her bangs.)

The Berrettini-Musetti imbroglio comes complete with unfollows, blocks, forgiveness and a brother-in-law supposedly brought in to keep an eye on things.

Passion, beautiful people, alleged infidelity and an extended family getting involved -- this has all the ingredients of an Italian drama, right down to the unfortunate lack of man-on-man action.

That last detail involves Gianluca Mager, who is married to Veronica's sister and has indeed been working with Musetti. 

Why can't Lorenzo be giving it to him:

Adding another layer to the drama, Berrettini has been left off Italy's initial Davis Cup Finals squad while Musetti made the cut -- although any connection to their rumored falling-out remains speculation.

None of the principals has publicly confirmed the alleged affair in the coverage I've seen. But whatever happened between these two, Berrettini's response wasn't exactly a master class in putting rumors to rest.

State of Play

This "states I've been to interactive map" is fun, especially because you don't need to sign up or give them an email address. 

My paltry percentage complete (66%) reminds me I'm more of an international traveler (lol) -- and my disdain for family car trips might explain how I managed to "grow up" in Arizona yet never set foot in Utah, Colorado or New Mexico (I think everyone else has been to all three!).

Surprised to remember that I've lived in six different states -- well, five plus the District of Columbia. 

I forgot to click the "want to go" options, but they'd probably only be Oregon and Wyoming (to visit my sister-in-law) plus rounding out New England -- unless I decided to do 'em all. (I also wouldn't mind seeing Mary Tyler Moore's house and the statue!) My family was set to go on an Alaskan cruise before the plan unraveled, but I'd be game if the idea resurfaced at some point.

Give me your body (of land) count in the comments.
