Enter the Samurai

Why hello
Why hello

Move over, J-Block! We've got a new American fan base in town. Sam Querrey's fan club, "The Samurai," is made up of a few bare-chested young fellows who spell out his first name on their bodies, and a few others with white headbands.

I really do prefer The Samurai to the low-rent attitude of the J-Block, what with their fratty and crude screaming (which James Blake actually caught a lot of heat for after his loss the other night). The Samurai sits in the player's box, not a luxury suite, and I caught them several times applauding winners and aces from Rafael Nadal.

They may need to switch it to another gear, though. Their boy, Querrey, is down a set against Nadal.

Thank goodness J-block is out. They're a disgrace. What kind of people have their beer privileges suspended by the USTA?

At least Blake has been forced to come out and admit that he's basically been orchestrating the whole thing. For many years, he tried to distance himself publicly, but now it's out there.

No degree of physical fitness justifies being shirtless in public.
