| Sweet kiss |
Well it was a proud moment when Ryan Sweeting won his home nation's Clay Court Championship in Houston. After he beat Sam Querrey, I never envisaged that he would go all the way, but he did, beating Japan's Kei Nishikori in the final.
Amid all of the sadness of Japan's plite, it is wonderful to see success coming to Nishikori who jumps into the top 50. Sweeting has leapt from 93 to 67 and with that comes guaranteed entry to the main draw of Roland Garros and Wimbledon, and most other tournaments.

| Vika a threat! |
On the women's side, Caroline Wozniacki just rolls on taking her 3rd title for the year in Charleston - great clay court form, and although it's different clay in Paris the world number one must be high on confidence.
Second only in confidence to her great friend Victoria Azarenka, who has won successive titles and moved into the top 5 at Sam Stosur's expense. With Kim Clijsters in doubt for the French Open, Vika could well be seeded to play semis, and I'm looking forward to seeing her always enthralling and courageous efforts as she attempts to make it through the draw.
