James Blake reacts during his match against Romania qualifier Victor Crivoi at the Internazionali BNL d'Italia Masters in rainy Roma today. Blake struggled with the blustery conditions and lost 5-7, 3-6.

Though Roma is my favorite clay event (yes, I do have one) there was no tennis watching for me today.

Dirt darkens my nails. Cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, and peas are now in the ground, along with several varieties of onions and all sorts of spring greens and herbs that flourish in cool soil. Now, a break before preparing the summer fields for sowing and transplanting.
