I’m on it, and so is my brain. So, in lieu of a post, here are some links for your enjoyment. I will return with a full post next week with my thoughts on match fixing.

Rulers of Tennis will work together to regulate match fixing.

Peter Bodo’s thoughts on a unified tour.

ESPN story on Ivo Karlovic, who recently became the 4th player with 1,000 aces in a season.

Anyone have any interest on what Michael Chang has been up to?

Updated Shanghai race information.

A link to a bunch of different links concerning match fixing.

The USTA announced a new Executive Director earlier this week.
