What The ^%*# ?!

I just returned home safely from the Netherlands to read reports that Serena Williams was wrapped like a mummy during her match against Anna Chakvetadze and had to withdraw from the Championships with a left knee injury even after stating how healthy and happy and determined she was to make good at the end of an injury-plagued last three quarters of the year, that Jelena Jankovic ought to have been warned for lack of effort against Justine Henin, that Gustavo Kuerten's paraplegic brother passed away today, and that Tommy Haas was told that he was poisoned before his Davis Cup match against Russia back in September with the ITF about to launch an investigation?

Tennis has officially entered the twilight zone.

I'm going to take my travel-weary behind to bed and maybe, just maybe, when I wake up tomorrow I'll find out that this was all a big practical joke.
