It was great being in Miami…some of my favorite restaurants are in south beach….obviously frustrated about the injury..just taking it one day at a time.

I haven’t been following American Idol, but it’s impossible to avoid the whole Sanjiya backlash, we even heard on the radio there is a guy somewhere who is on a hunger strike, and is going to fast until Sanjiya is kicked off the show. Impressive effort…good luck with that…

I am officially the worst at picking NCAA brackets. I mean, really, is it fantasy football yet? At least last year I sucked at it but no one knew…this year, we did a big ATP march madness pool, so now it’s pretty much public knowledge that I’m the worst.

Happy Birthday to Elton John. It’s unreal to think how much he has accomplished in 60 years.

Shout out to Bao Xishun – the world’s tallest man, 7 foot 9 got married..props!…relationships are never easy, and I’m guessing even harder when you are 8 feet tall…I still can’t get over the story where he saved two dolphins by reaching into their stomachs…

Have a little beef to pick with fans who yell “go Andy” when I play Andy Murray, it’s just funny…gotta go with last names in those matches…

Fines…

This week there were several worthy of fines, including myself. I walked around the locker room for a solid ten minutes looking for my practice shirt until I bent down and it fell off my shoulder….to my defense it was wet so it just stuck there for a bit, but still..pretty bad. I’m not going down alone though…At Indian Wells, John walked into the shower door…it didn’t break but he left a noticeable mark on the glass..Ginger was in the airport Starbucks the other week and asked for coffee and said, “please leave room at the top for coffee”…she did this while wearing her sweatshirt backwards and inside out..impressive!…And my favorite; one of the ATP trainers went to use spray deodorant and ended up putting shaving cream all over the himself, classic!

Self Chuck…people who overuse cliché phrases. You hear it a lot in our business, “push the edge of the envelope”, “think outside of the box,” but most of the time it’s completely irrelevant and not motivating. My favorite is “you can’t have your cake and eat it to.” Honestly, I just don’t get that one. If it’s my cake, I’m eating it…WALL!

Butthead… The whole Donald Trump vs. Vince McMahon wrestle mania thing is pretty hilarious. For most guys, losing a bet and shaving their head would be a typical Friday night, but these two have made it into the biggest spectacle ever, they should both have to shave their heads for taking their hair so seriously.
