Tennis News: Kyrgios, Tennis Resorts, Fed Perfect Body for Tennis, Italian Open,

Kyrgios Vents on Nadal

We know what is bad for tennis and it isn't Rafa.  If hotheads could be voted out of tennis like they vote people off the Island in Survivor we know who would be back in Australia teaching a whole new generation of players to act like fools.

Eating After 8pm - Death Wish

After 8pm Meals

Metabolic syndrome.  Well, it has taken them this long to figure this out, the experts.  Every decade and now every two years another FAD comes our way that is replaced by so called research.  Most people learned by experience that excess carbs added weight.  This is long time knowledge from observation and doctors going back to the 50's and 60's already had this tidbit though they often didn't pass it along to patients.  Now it appears that the best way to manage your food intake is to have a long time between dinner and breakfast and if you eat after 8pm and then go to bed by 9 or 10 then yes it will be a problem.  Also, it seems to matter what type of food you're eating.  It would be nice if they would settle on something rather than this moving target for how to live in a healthy fashion.

Tantrum ends match

Big 3 Retirement - tennis after they retire - will it survive

Tennis Will Survive

Of course it will survive but will it have the luster of today's Men's game.  We have been in a Golden Era unlike any since the 70's when you had many holdovers from the Aussie domination of tennis in the 60's and then the American dominance combined with Borg that made for an amazing time in tennis.  It will survive but let's hope some great players are on the horizon.

Cancer Cure

As with any cure stories I read them but only to look for direction in the way cures may develop.  Hopefully some real and sustaining cures will make most of what constitutes cancer treatment a relic of the past.
