A place for picks and tennis discussion. When time allows, I will try to have some small write-ups on matches, when it doesn't - the picks are all I post. Come see my balls on display. I don't proclaim to be any sort of expert. I simply enjoy the sport and like researching stats and angles.

12.29.13/Play #1: [ATP BRISBANE] Querrey +100
Querrey admitted that 2013 was somewhat of a lost season physically and mentally. Physically, nagging injuries kept him from being consistent and mentally - a breakup with his fiancee took its toll from the Summer through to the end of the season. He spent the break completely away from tennis which is either a blessing or curse for players. Through his trials and tribulations last year, I think it is the first - a blessing to clear his mind and heal his body. He has talked openly about feeling like his career is half over and that he simply wants to enjoy the game more. But, he still talks of moving back into the Top 20, so the competitive juices are there. Tursunov had a nice resurgent season. It is interesting to note he missed the Australian swing a year ago recovering from injuries and has rarely been healthy or enjoyed success in this early season swing.
