The tour reconvenes in Moscow after the short break after Wimbledon. The Petrova Cup is the event, an event with much controversy over the years, multiple times the tournament directors have been accused of accepting money in exchange for soft draws. They always deny it however; nevertheless rumors are always floating around. Speaking of controversy, one of the largest nuggets of interest in a long time surfaced after Wimbledon when French Open Champion J-man posted in a blog on his website describing his visits to a pub in London to “drink his sorrows away”. Why some one posts illegal activities in a blog I don’t know, this is what happens when you skip college for a pro tennis career, pro tennis players aren’t the brightest stars in the sky that’s for sure. J-man was seen with another no-name player and rumors persist he was also out with another “strange” drinking buddy. OK back to tennis, the draw here is moderately strong, with Jennacourt being the frontrunner. Bizet and Dave are other strong contenders. Another one to watch is NEA, who after choking the clay season away made a good run at Wimbledon. His run, however, is not enough to silence critics who cite a weak draw as the reason for his run there, ever the rebel (I am waiting for him to take a leaf out of Andre’s book and grow a mullet) NEA always says he couldn’t care less about what the media thinks, but still, he needs a title soon.
