Sometimes, even if you like the guy, it’s not such a terrible thing to watch Ernests Gulbis lose. It just makes sense. Today was not one of those days. Gulbis’ quick two-set defeat at the hands of Novak Djokovic offered very little in the way of entertainment. Even his racquet

Perhaps the most interesting part of Caroline Wozniacki's simple, fairly subtle beatdown of Sara Errani in their U.S. Open quarterfinal match arrived right at its end. It had nothing to do with racquets and hustle, both of which these two pros have in spades. Rather an orphaned plastic bag glided
