Weekend Tennis Roundup


While Damian and I were watching Andy Roddick and Kim Clijsters be inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame, some low-key events were going on around the globe, including in Newport, R.I. We caught John Isner beat Bjorn Fratangelo (that surname reminds me of one of those tabloid names for a celebrity couple!) in the semis -- and Isner went on to win the event by defeating Matthew Ebden of Australia in the final, 6-3, 7-6 (4). Elsewhere, David Ferrer kept the AARP circuit alive and well, winning his first tournament in nearly two years with a 6-4, 6-4 victory over Alexandr Dolgopolov of Ukraine. Kiki Bertens of the Netherlands took home the crown at the Swiss Open, beating Anett Kontaveit of Estonia, 6-4, 3-6, 6-1. Irina-Camelia Begu of Romania won her home title in Romania, beating Julia Görges in the final, 6-3, 7-4. And lastly, 19-year-old Russian cutie Andrey Rublev won the Croatian Open, beating Pablo Lorenzi, 6-4, 6-2, and picking me up as an Instagram follower!

P.S.


Word on the street is that Novak Djokovic is unlikely to play this U.S. Open. The given reason is a "bone bruise," but we all know it's a head case.
