- The USTA announced they will be streaming more than 150 matches during the US Open - and all for FREE. Tennis is starting to figure out this online thing, huh? [Tennis Week]
- Ivo Minar has become the latest baller to be accused of taking a banned substance during tourney play. The the sample was taken after a Davis Cup quarterfinal victory over Argentina on July 10-12 and contained a derivative of the banned stimulant pseudoephedrine. "I have never consciously taken a banned substance. This is why I rejected the accusation of doping in my reaction sent to the ITF," said Ivo.

- Steve Tignor wonders if Elena Dementieva's Rogers Cup win over Maria Sharapova this weekend will springboard her to a US Open championship and a maiden major.

If the Russian's serve nerve can hold steady, I think she can pull through in the end. [TENNIS]
- Jon Wertheim goes on the defensive for the line judge in all of us in his new Monday "best of 3" list. Back off you camera-wielding freaks! [SI]
