The Daily Bagel is your dose of the interesting reporting, writing and quipping from around the Internet.

• In case you missed the battle for the future of British tennis, here's what happened when Laura Robson and Heather Watson played each other for the first time. The article is particularly interesting for Nick Bollettieri's 180-degree flip on grunting.

• Caroline Wozniacki claimed some players grunt on purpose. But Tennis.com's Jonathan Scott issues a plea to move past the non-issue, saying Wozniacki's ill-timed shot at grunters detracts from real news.

• Jon Wertheim's weekly mailbag, featuring Roger Federer, Serena Williams and an update on Paul Henri Mathieu.

• Catching up with proud University of Georgia alum John Isner.
