Gambill/Hadad BOS vs Gimelstob/Oudsema WAS 5-1
Kops-Jones/Hadad BOS vs Williams/Gimelstob WAS 5-2
Jan-Michael Gambill BOS vs Justin Gimelstob WAS 5-4

Ha, what a loser!

Honestly, Justin, who loses to Kops-Jones/Hadad when their partner is Serena Williams?

You still suck at all aspects of life, bud.

There is an ad for the Philly Freedom in today's Philadelphia Inquirer.

It mentions that Venus is playing with them tonight here, that Johnny Mac and the Bryan Bros. are here next week playing with their respective teams.

It also mentions that Tracy Austin will be here on July 21st. Not playing. She will be what is called a "celebrity spectator".

[VeniHemealm]

First we had a "Celebrity Wrangler" and now a "Celebrity spectator." Celebrity means nothing anymore, Mr. DeMille.

Serena's long commute for WTT debut

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Three days after losing to her sister in tennis' showcase event, Serena Williams awoke Tuesday morning at her part-time home in Paris. She flew to London, where she had a layover of a few hours, then hopped a trans-Atlantic flight in which she "slept pretty much the whole way.''

Upon arrival in the nation's capital, she made an appearance at a youth tennis clinic and then held a news conference to promote the final duty of her very long day: her debut with the Washington Kastles of World Team Tennis.

"It's kind of weird, but I'm still going,'' said Williams, whose body clock was closing in on midnight at the news conference.

Five hours later, the world's fifth-ranked player showed no signs of jet lag as she pounded aces and service winners against No. 189 Marie-Eve Pelletier. Williams won seven of 10 games against Pelletier in a valiant comeback bid on behalf of the team, but it wasn't enough as the Kastles lost their home opener 22-19 to the Boston Lobsters.

"I wasn't exhausted at all,'' Williams said. "I felt like I could go another two sets or whatever.''

Under a crescent moon and before a standing room only crowd, Williams also played doubles and mixed doubles in her all-white outfit. She and Justin Gimelstob lost 5-2 to Jan-Michael Gambill and Raquel Kops-Jones. Williams then teamed with Mashona Washington to beat Pelletier and Kops-Jones 5-4 in women's doubles.

"It was good to be out here in D.C. for the first time,'' said Williams, who stuck around a bit longer after playing to sign autographs. "It was awesome.''

Justin's now 0-6? Brilliant.

Justin's now 0-6? Brilliant.

1-5. He won his doubles match yesterday.

Brengle/Huber DEL vs Raymond/Williams PHI 5-2

Someone needs to file an injunction against the Venus-Lisa pair. They're utterly incapable of ever winning anything.

[ZAtlLVos]

Venus/Lisa won the day before, against Huber/Fusano, by the same score. So, does that mean Fusano is the Weakest Link here? Maddy Brengle played that much better?
