What I'm Reading: Monday's Link Round-Up

Cheryl Murray's TennisTalk contains a very interesting post about rising tennis star, and one of my personal favorite tennis players Gael Monfils. Cheryl talks about some rabid middle aged fan who tries unsuccesfully to catch up with Monfils in a golf cart while screaminng "Montiff".

Monfils is also coming into his own by winning his first match in the warm-up tournament in Vienna for the end of the year Masters event in London. His second match is today at 11:00 AM.

Sean Randall on TennisX posts an article about a professional ATP player Ernests Gulbis getting arrested in Sweden for apparently taking home a prostitute.

Well done sir.

 Andre Agassi, one of the many "good guys" of professional tennis admitted to using crystal meth in 1997 during one of the peaks of his tennis career. This comes as no surprise to me when you see what Agassi was wearing back in those days.

GoToTennis posted some of the more memorable quotes from the last Masters series event in Shanghai.  My personal favorite is the one from Mr. Safin in which he discusses his upcoming retirement. This heartfelt quote shows how much he has matured since the video from below was taken. You can see him in his glory at the 57 second mark.






Speaking of funny and weird tennis moments, check out this link from a professional doubles match.

Randy Johnson esque if you ask me.
