Tuesday's Tennis Links -- August 25th, 2009

The second edition of the much acclaimed Tuesday Tennis Links, on this first day of US Open qualifying.

Stay tuned later today for coverage from the EmblemHealth Bronx Open, and an interview with a certain temperamental American player-turned-commentator who made his mark in the late early 1980s.

A David Foster Wallace tennis piece from 1996, republished this week.  It mostly focuses on Michael Joyce (during his playing days), before he moved on to his current role of running on court to ask Maria Sharapova how tired she is. A long but interesting read.  [Esquire]

New York Times Magazine feature on the Bryan Brothers, who have been everywhere in the New York media these past weeks for some reason. [New York Times Magazine]

Interesting look by Megan Fernandez on how the official score keeping for tour matches is done. [TalkAboutTennis]

Besides from passing Pete Sampras, Roger Federer's Wimbledon title this July also moved him past Tiger.  In case you're wondering, I'm of the mind that there's almost no comparing the two. [Straight Sets]

And finally, a story about a top junior player killed in 1940 being honored some seventy years later  [Sign On San Diego]
