Miscellany

After two years of going out of their way to ignore Tzipi Obziler's motherhood, the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour finally mentioned it, just as Obziler was walking out the door.

Mary Pierce says that she is coming back next year.

I keep forgetting to mention that I really like Maria Sharapova's U.S. Open Series outfit.

The last three times the Rogers Cup was held in Toronto, the winner went on to win the U.S. Open.

Tennis Channel is showing classic U.S. Open matches all this week, as well as its "Only At the Open" series.

If you haven't read The Open Book, published for the 40th anniversary of the U.S. Open, I urge you to do so. Having the book is worth it for the photographs alone, but there is also a lot of great information and historical press coverage.
