Bracket update, shout out

I am still in the lead, and Dave actually thinks I may win this thing. Hooray for me!

Standings after round 2:

Bess
Men: 75/96
Women: 59/96
Total: 134/192

Dave
Men: 61/96
Women: 56/96
Total: 117/192

Dave can relax, though, because I've already picked out my $145 prize. So he won't have to worry about that. ;-)

On an unrelated but really appreciative note, a shout out to some of our newest readers:

• Rhonda, who said she had no idea what we were talking about, but enjoyed it anyway

• Diane, who said reading the blog may cause her to start following tennis again (yes!)

• Vernon, who said Dave and I should promote this blog more because he finds it entertaining

• Maggie, who posted our first non-Dave/non-Bess comment on the blog and re-promoted Mixed Doubles on Facebook with a positive review
  

Thanks to them and to all of you for clicking through to hear us babble on (and on) about the sport we love.

Shout out also to my boy Baghdatis. If you've been watching the NBC coverage today, you may understand why I love him--such heart. And such a good guy!
