Mr. Federer to serve..not at Madrid Open! (Twin boys for Fed!)

“Mr. Federer to serve” will not be music to our ears at the Madrid Open!  Bummer!  Roger announced yesterday that he was withdrawing from the tournament to spend time with the family as he and Mirka await the birth of their third child ( have four year old twins and Mirka is pregnant and due any day??).  Really bummed but have to respect Roger, what a great guy and husband..not to mention the GOAT !!!  Disappointed to not see him in action this week, especially with Djokovic withdrawing as well due to his wrist/arm injury.  Still, right move for this classy champion.  Must wonder if this means no Federer in Rome next week as well.  Really hope to see him at Roland Garros for the French Open.

So, we have Nadal and Wawrinka in action and perhaps a final between these two in store for us this week?  Will wait and see.  I will enjoy the action, but not with the same passion I would have if Federer was playing.

Lot’s of great action taking place…live action airs on Tennis Channel starting at about 5:00 am EST and continues until 4:00/5:00 pm EST.  It is great to watch, just not the same for me, personally!

Did you all catch Peyton Manning on Letterman last night?  Gee, the man, the athlete, the legend, the class act, what more can you say?  Great show, Shailene Woodley also on with a great movie coming out in early June.

I am looking forward to seeing Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore in Blended, coming out May 23rd.  Moreover, please don’t laugh, but I think I am going to watch the Veronica Mars movie on demand.  Hey, stop it!  I love Kristin Bell.  She is so awesome with Don Cheadle in House of Lies, and she and Dax Shepard are adorable.  OK, enough of that!

Wednesday, Nashville will offer us a special episode…a concert for the troops with some very special guest appearance!  More on that tomorrow on Surviving “Paradise” Wednesday!  Also, watching ABC last night, one of my favorite new shows, Motive, (the highest rated detective show in Canada) returns on May 21st!  Looking forward to it!

Well, enjoy the tennis, minus Mr. Federer and Novak Djokovic, and The Players Championship from TPC Sawgrass (golf) gets underway on Thursday…minus Tiger Woods.

Later!

Update: Kevin Durant wins first NBA MVP!! Well deserved!  Wizards move past Pacers in game one last night, 102-96.  Pacers are not looking like #1 seed in the East…seven game series with the Hawks to advance?  Also the Clippers (despite front office “Issues”) rolled past OKC, 122-105!

JUST IN!  Roger and Mirka welcome twin boys!!  Leo and Lenny join Charlene and Myla Rose!!  WOW, two sets of twins!  Congrats to the Federer family!!
