Lawsuits, Suspensions, and Fines…Oh My!

Guillermo Canas’ second dramatic win over Roger Federer had nothing on the off-court action that took place in Miami. Professional tennis turned into a serial drama including a player petition, a storm-off during a meeting with the ATP Chair, one lawsuit being filed, and another threatened to be on the way.

Most enjoyable media moments in Miami: revered tennis journalist Richard Evans bitching to Bud Collins about finishing third in one of the categories of the U.S. Tennis Writers’ Association Contest behind Paul Fein, who he complains rarely goes to tournaments and performs “copywriting” duties. Evans also refused to participate in the USTWA awards presentation on the stadium court. Or how about Tennis.com’s Pete Bodo, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel’s Charlie Bricker, and Collins arguing the merit of surprising opponents with an underhand serve — a question Bodo posed to Roddick in his post-match conference before receiving an incredulous blank stare from the top-ranked American? The underhand serve, Bud noted, sure worked for Michael Chang in his French Open win over Ivan Lendl. Hard to argue with that.
