CNN is reporting that the #1 German tennis player Tommy Haas has pulled out of the rest of the end of the year tournaments because he has contracted the swine flu.I always figured being in top physical condition would keep you immune to the swine flu. I guess that is not the case, good luck Tommy!
Over at TennisX they profile Marcos Baghdatis' first tournament victory since 2007 in Zagreb, Croatia.
The Cypriot fell out of shape (he isn't the skinniest guy on tour) after making a miracle run to the Australian Open final in 2007.

Oh how i miss those days, please come out of retirement Tim!
