Hi everyone. I'm dug into the writing/editing bunker today, so there won't be a red-meat post. But the good news is that one of my chores today is writing up the lengthy meeting El Jon and I had with Toni Nadal during the US Open. I need to save the best stuff from that interview for an exclusive in Tennis, but we had such a surfeit of material that I'll get a (hopefully) fascinating red-meat post out of it instead of the usual teaser. Toni is about the most original tennis coach (at least of a top player) that I've ever come across. It seems that Rafa is on track to clinch the year-end no. 1 ranking this week in Madrid. I'll post the feature on Toni Nadal ASAP after that happens, family and weekend plans allowing.
