In addition, I'm going to attempt to bring you guys a personal, inside look at the event by live blogging throughout the evening - keep your fingers, toes, and everything else crossed that it works out!

Hello readers,
Down the Line! got another facelift - well, more of a touch up I'd say - and is now carrying the ATP Master Series Flash Player on the right hand side of the page. The player will showcase:
- Daily highlights during all ATP Masters Series tournament

I've also created a third column on to accommodate the player + Google ads and darkened the background of the page a bit.
Enjoy!
