Giving a new meaning to off-court training (I kill me), Fernando Verdasco and Jo-Wilfried do a photo op aboard a high-speed magnetic levitation train in Shanghai, to achieve the "fastest game of tennis ever played." The train can go up to 500 km/h, which means it could get from New York to Washington in less than an hour, something which I'm sure greatly intrigues Elliot Spitzer.
I understand that turning down an opportunity to be photographed would make Fernando Verdasco physically ill, but what is Tsonga doing there? He just came off playing five matches on his way to winning the title in Tokyo, and now he has to use his rest time before playing another big tournament to do this? Questionable.
