PHOTO OP: Rossie caught with his pants off

Okay - what the HELL is going on in Montreal? It's like a drunken frat party gone absolutely right.

The Bryan Brothers ran into a pantless Ross Hutchins in their hotel lobby today, snapped and then tweeted this photo.

So first Nole flashes his bikini line and now Rossie is caught running around in his boxer briefs. The BryBros said the Brit lost a bet (most likely to Team Muzz - did I say "thank you" yet?) but I'm thinking there's also something sneaky in the water and both ballers drank it. I say pass that shite around the locker room boys - cheers!

Whatever it may be doesn't change this fact: I need to book a ticket to Montreal and pack my zoom lens. Stat.

Rossie launches new website, shirtless lovers rejoice!

My day is already complete.

The tennis gods have answered our call and now Ross Hutchins has his own website courtesy of Tennishead! I was tipped off to the news by uber-twitterer and Friend of Ross (FOR) Andy Murray:


Incidentally, Muzz got his driver's license today so he'll most likely be driving more than just go-karts in the near future. You've been warned Brits (and Miami residents.)

Back to Rossie: When saw the tweet I got excited for the very fact that now there would be a central location for all things Rossie (read: shirtless pics). And what was I greeted with when I clicked on his new site? Duh, see top screen grab peeps. Geez.

*smiles uncontrollably*

PHOTO OP: Ice bath orgy revisited featuring special guest

Lucky us. Instead of the usual foursome (twice over) in Team Murray's ice bath orgy series, we now get five men-in-a-tub courtesy of a surprise guest appearance by none other than ROSS HUTCHINS!

But by the look of Andy's face, he's the one getting a big surprise. I wonder what it could be?

Oh Miles, do tell!

PHOTO OP: Reveling in Ross, loses out in both men's + mixed doubles

Well, well look who we have here: it's Ross Hutchins!

Ah, how nice to see the Brit baller doing what he does best - doubles. It'd be nice to see him shirtless on a beach in Miami again but the green grass of Wimbledon will have to do.



Oh yeah, Rossy was paired up with compatriot Anne Keothavong and they lost their first round match to the duo of Bruno Soares and Alisa Kleybanova. Unfortunately, he also lost in the first round of men's doubles with partner Stephen Huss so we won't be seeing anymore of him this fortnight. Double drats.

I'm thinking someone needs to pick better doubles partners in the future. Or is HE the weakest link?

VIDEO VAULT: Team Murray + Rossie play some shirtless footy at Indian Wells (oh joy)

Here's a video interview with Andy Murray featuring other members of Team Murray, including Miles Maclagan + Jez Green as well as doubs partner Ross Hutchins, playing some footy during a recent practice session at Indian Wells.

Shirtless boys playing with balls - need I say more?

PHOTO OP: Rossie returns, gives Murray a hand

The doubles pairing of Andy Murray + Ross Hutchins made their debut at Indian Wells today.

The Brit ballers defeated the team of Tomas Berdych + Nicolas Kiefer 6-4, 0-6, 10-7 in the tourney's first round and will face either Mario Ancic + Jo-Wilfried Tsonga or the Brazilian team of Andre Sa + Marcelo Melo (love that name).

It's nice to see Andy + Ross together again after seeing so much of them during their shirtless off-season workouts in Miami. Wait - who am I kidding? Andy Shmandy, we see him all the time. It's damn good to see Rossie again even with his shirt on!

Beggars can't be choosers I say. *swoons*

PHOTO OP: The return of Ross, shirt included (double drats)

Shirtless brigade member Ross Hutchins, who accompanied friend Andy Murray during Team Murray's off-season training intensive in Miami, was spotted with the World No.4 at the kids' clinic today.

The duo also paired up for some Doha doubles action later in the day but lost to German ballers Christopher Kas and Philipp Kohlschreiber 5-7, 4-6.


It's good to see Ross finally getting some attention, but I can't say I'm happy he'll have to keep his shirt on or that I'll have to start watching doubles just to catch a glimpse.

Oh, the things we do for tennis...

PHOTO OP: Day 8 of Murray's off-season training intensive, shirtless Ross makes welcome return

After the pink play from Day 7, Team Murray got back to the grueling work of their off-season training intensive in Miami.

DAY 8

The day began on the track at Tropical Park with the team performing ten 200 metres sprints with less time to complete and recover in the 80 degree (plus humidity) conditions. Okay - I'm already feeling nauseous just writing this post - ay yay yay.

But the sight of Ross Hutchin's shirtless return is a welcome relief as is mini-me Matt "Treacle" Little in his mini outfit. WTF?!


Let's just say it was a brutal workout with every member of Team Murray feeling the burn and little something else bubbling up...




After completing the full set and coming back to consciousness, Team Murray gladly took their 3-hour lunch followed by a late day hitting session.


Day 9 will be a much anticipated half-day of training but involving a 1.5 hour Bikram Yoga class - fun!

PHOTO OP: Days 3 + 4 of Team Murray's off-season training intensive, Ross on full display

Andy Murray continued his off-season training intensive this weekend in Miami with Strength and Conditioning coach Jez Green and doubles specialist Ross Hutchins. Here's a rundown:

DAY 3

The day began track work at Tropical Park in 80 degree heat - 12 x 200 metre sprints in under 32 seconds, with just one minute to recover in between.




The day was topped off by an on-court session focusing on movement followed by a light hit.


You know how every group of friends has the "hot one"? I'm thinking Ross fits the bill (though Dani Vallverdu is right there too) - the face, the tan, the ridiculously sexy body (hello abs). No offense Andy, just being honest!


Here's a breakdown of Day 3:

Calorific intake: 5, 800

Track: 12 x 200 metres (32 seconds on, 60 seconds off)

Tennis specific movement work

Tennis: 45 minutes

Sun tanning: Continuous

DAY 4

Today Team Murray hit famous South Beach for a 5 mile run in the sand. If you've ever run in the sand then you know how tough this exercise can be, especially in South Florida heat.

The ran for about 45 mins, made a quick Starbucks stop, then concluded the day with a light hit and some lower body work.



Day 4 breakdown:

Calorific intake: 5,800 calories

Running: 5 miles on South Beach

Tennis: 2 hours, University of Miami

Gym: Lower body weights, 1.5 hrs

Sun tanning: Still working on it...

PHOTO OP: Day Two of Andy's off-season training intensive, sun tanning included and required

(WARNING: This post contains photographs of some half-dressed, pasty-colored Brit ballers. Those of you opposed to or frightened by these images, please proceed with caution - or wear sunglasses. Just sayin'.)


Andy Murray is on Day Two of his off-season training intensive at the University of Miami and was joined again by fitness trainer Jez Green and compatriot Ross Hutchins, who should, IMO, always keep his shirt off rather than on.

Team Murray also got a surprise visit from another one of Andy's hot friends: UM tennis baller Dani Vallverdu from Venezuela (below) who we first discovered this past summer at Queen's Club. *reminisces then smiles*


Anyway, the world No.4 began with some tennis-football warm-up drills and then moved on to some speed and agility training including timed shuttle runs to either side of the service box and weight ball drills.



The team took their daily 3-hour midday break, hitting up Whole Foods for a serious sampling of sushi. Yums.


The day continued with some weightroom work. The hour-and-a-half session included the dreaded chin-up exercise with a 10KG weight tied to his waist. Can someone say painful?

It's probably a great idea, then, to end the day with some Bikram "hot" yoga to stretch out those tired muscles and release lactic acids after this workout.


Here's a breakdown of what the 21-year old had to suffer through today:

Calorific intake: 5, 800

Weights: upper body

Tennis: 2 hours

Bikram yoga: 1.5 hrs

Sun tanning: all day, every day (hopefully)

OMG - So Andy gets to play tennis, do yoga, workout, AND stuff his face silly all while working on his tan? So fun! Where can I sign up for this program?

PHOTO OP: Team Murray arrive in Miami, begin off-season training intensive

A few members of Team Murray have already made their way to South Florida for Andy's winter training session and they have set up camp at the University of Miami.

Fitness trainer Jez Green and Andy's cute compatriot, doubles specialist Ross Hutchins, have joined the Brit baller in the sunny city for the next three weeks of intense off-season prep; the rest of Team Murray will arrive this weekend. There will be both morning and afternoon workouts, 6 days a week, with a 3-hour break in between to recharge and refuel (apparently at Whole Foods for some sushi.)


And like Ana Ivanovic, the world No.4 hasn't hit in a couple of weeks so the training begins slowly by "blowing away a few cobwebs" and then the team works their way up to more on-court practice.

He also uses this off-time to experiment with his equipment: the company who strings and customizes Andy's racquets, Priority 1, has sent down a few variations for him to try out.


While at UM, Team Murray will also set out to compete in a self-styled Winter Olympics, a series of 10 events, including chin-ups, that all members will take part in over a two week time. Andy has hit 20 reps, a significantly higher number than the 21-year old hit last season.


Good stuff Andy! Lookin' good as well though you may want to try working on a tan since you're already down there.

Just sayin'...geesh.
