Thank you very much for your compliment. We thought we would be able to do live streaming video of matches, but our source backed out. We'll still try and give you top notch coverage.

I'm sure you do, but I think you might be hard pressed to find coverage like ours at a Challenger event in the US.

Re: AT&T Challenger of Dallas Jan 26-Feb 2

The best part were those interviews with players at the end of match. I remember Benedikt Dorsch and his "sick 'em BEARS" quote but really unforgetable was Bobby Reynolds, who poured the whole icebox on challenger winner-Robert Kendrick (loooool). It made my day and i think those videos were just great...hope you'll provide it this year as well.

P.s.: @TBarm7, are you the guy who interviewed players last year

I'm one of the guys. The other guy(Australian) is also named Craig. He did most of the interviews, but I did a few.

And yes, Bobby pouring ice all over Kendo was true greatness. The slapping of the nuts that went on with Kendrick and his coach was also classic.

TBarm7, do you think he has good chances to get in directly?

I love it when he listens to me. I hope that you will seriously consider it for him. He is very motivated to return. Yeah, I'm very baised.

Fee, he would definitely bring in the audience(ladies). We will hold our wc for a little bit, waiting to see what happens with Isner. D.Young and J.Levine are probably heading to the USA's Davis Cup match as hitting partners. We'll just see how things go down under.

give a WC for Mello please :lol:

Vai, we'll have to wait and see. Rarely do you have your whole list show up. #3 alternate isn't out of the question to get into mains.
