The grass season is shaping up to be a big mess already. Andy Murray and Tommy Haas have pulled out of grass court tournaments, and Andy Roddick is too pissed off to play well:

When did Murray become a hottie? Did not see that on the news.

Roddick was a couple of hours late arriving for his Surbiton doubles match with Ginepri. He arrived just 40 minutes ahead of the match, promptly crashed out and left with out doing the press conference, for which he will be fined. Ginepri apparently called into the audiance "I need a partner,anyone want to play".

Yes, Roddick is back! Once a punk, always a punk.

In other challenger news, guess who else is back.....Mariano Puerta. Start peeing, Mariano.....after every match.

Off topic slightly... but on the subject of doping bans, does anyone know when/if Special K (Sesil Karatancheva) is making a comeback? I can't think of the dates, but I have a feeling her ban is probably over sometime soon... I'd assume she would be planning a comeback...

B

I think she has 1 more year on her sentence.

I once wrote a semi-fascinating story examining the history of doping offenses in tennis. Well, maybe the semi part was the research. Anyway, if anyone's interested, it's here.

And apologies in advance for the shameless self-promotion....

Oh lawd...I miss Mariano. Those thick thighs of his had me melting. Hurry back Mariano
