Daily Bagel: John Isner tosses out the first pitch at a Red Sox game

Belgrade daily Blic reported that employees at the Sveti Stefan resort have signed a written pledge not to disclose any details relating to the wedding. They are also forbidden from bringing any cameras or mobile phones to the islet, connected with the mainland by a stony strip. Media reports said 140 people had been invited to the wedding, including Djokovic's coaches Boris Becker and Marjan Vajda, as well as tennis players Maria Sharapova and Andy Murray.

There are two speeds for Roger. The most common is that of a game that is beyond textbook — fluid strokes that result in shots landing exactly where they should land. But when that’s not happening, it’s the complete opposite. Huge misses and utter chaos from the moment the ball and the racket imperfectly meet.

When you see Roger respond to one of these shots, he seems to move on immediately. As if he knows, based on his game, it’s bound to happen a few times a match. And when you think about the position he has put himself in for the majority of his career, it makes sense. He essentially handicapped himself, forcing a game in which there were only two options: perfection or madness.
