@goatcollect Total amateur hour getting the grip signed. Racquets should always be signed on the frame. Those synthetic grips eventually deteriorate and fall apart.
@BenRothenberg Sorry, really love your work Ben, but this seems like a nothing burger. If you could provide examples of commentators other than Prakash using “swag”, you might be on to something. I guess the fact it’s another person of color makes it even less of an issue for me.
@showfortennis It’s funny, taking my boys to Cincy for 7th time this year. Mentioned switching it up and doing DC or Toronto next year and got pushback. Toronto was the 1st tournament they attended and Cincy wins out. If you are going for more than tennis, I understand. Otherwise, hard to beat!
@BenRothenberg Visited Kitzbuhel in 1995 right after the tournament ended. Beautiful city and surrounding mountains. Always watch intently to get those views each year. Hope to visit next summer.
