Weekend Tennis Roundup


Like the namesake city where it's played, the Miami Open is all about beautiful people and beautiful food. So while there was some noteworthy action -- Thiem, Pouille, Khachanov, Nishikori, Wawrinka, Cilic and Zverev lost early in the men's draw, and Osaka, Stephens, Keys, Bencic and Kerber lost early in the women's, with Angie losing for the second week in a row to Andreescu, whom the German called "the biggest drama queen" as they were shaking hands(!) -- there was plenty to see elsewhere, too. 


Not to sound like Miranda after Skippy got a new girlfriend, but has Kevin Anderson been working out? 


You know Filip Krajinovic is my new boyfriend, but then I saw Novak's baby brother (far right) ... hello, Djordje!


I think Diego Schwartzman has an eye for photography ...


What's for dinner? Balkan beef ...


Stan and Karen Khachanov were all smiles at dinner. But no sooner did Krajinovic like this photo, he defeated the Swiss in a three-set nail biter. (Aussie Jordan Thompson dumped the Russian in two easy sets.) 


Grigor Dimitrov dismissed Feliciano Lopez in the Battle of the Beauties. Next up: Thompson.


Good to see Bernard Tomic playing well again -- giving fellow "Yugoslavian" Novak Djokovic a scare in their opening match. 


Will the crowd ever love Nole enough?


Having grown up watching these two women on the tour, this birthday message from Billie Jean King to Ilana Kloss sure warmed my heart.

Weekend Tennis Roundup


Wasn't happy to see Stefanos Tsitsipas's winning streak come to an end in Toronto, especially to Rafael Nadal. But at least my boyfriend -- still sore from Wimbledon -- was happy.


I like his old hair better!


And speaking of unhappiness: Simona Halep -- who couldn't win a match to save her life when we wanted her to -- is suddenly acting like the No. 1 player in the world, outlasting Sloane Stephen 7-6(6), 3-6, 6-3 to win the women's title. This is starting to remind me of two other tennis "rivalries" -- Federer-Nadal and Evert-Navratilova -- where one person won all of the matches. Still proud of Stephens for building what began at this very tournament last year, but sure wish she could figure out a way to end this losing streak to the Romanian. 


Everyone's on to Cincinnati now. Here's hoping Borna Coric -- seen here in a photo posted by fashion and style director of the gay U.K. magazine Attitude -- can turn things around ... or come out?


Walk this way ...


Robert Farah has an "abs challenge" with doubles specialist Jean-Julien Rojer -- Andy Murray's ex-boyfriend -- in the Buckeye State ...


Noah Rubin is still recovering from Washington ...

At 5 feet 10 (9, 8 or 7) inches, depending where you look, Noah Rubin isn't likely to reach his goal of being the number one player in the world. But he's awfully cute to watch.
