- By now you’ve all heard that yes, Delpo is finally back. You’ve also probably read a few (thousand) of my tweets proclaiming my excitement. A lot of people are saying “calm down, he’s not going to win the tournament”. That’s really not the point. The dude has basically been non-existent all year. Hell, he can lose 6-0, 6-0 to number 500 for all I care. The dude is talented. I just want him healthy for next year, and out there enjoying tennis again. Seeing his name on the scoreboard will bring tears of joy.

- Poor blog. I can’t lie, I haven’t watched any live tennis since watching Rafa roll around on the ground like a baby. But, again, Elfie boy will get my nerdiness back next week. And as I’ve mentioned a zillion times, the time zone is far from generous.

- Is Steps a Davis Cup legend or what? Bloody well impressed with what he managed to put up over the Davis Cup weekend.

- If I’m Serbia, I want the final on clay. Take away the serves of Monf, Jo, Llodra (or whoever is going to play) and even things out.

- Poor Nole. Guy is going to have to play WTF and DC at the end of the year. That’s one long haul to finish off the year, never mind the mental pressure to go along with it.

- Oh Ana. My expectations are low but… c’mon girl.

- Speaking of injuries, poor Sabine. Girl has been as non-existent as Delpo this year. Would really hate to see such a bright young star with top 10 potential (in my opinion anyway) have her career take such a huge ding from injuries.

- New FD Podcast on Saturday. Pretty damn pumped. Expect ridiculousness.

- Lastly, did Andy really miss Kim or what?
