Malaysian Open, PTT Thailand Open named their marquee players

I'm all excited because the Malaysian Open has named Juan Monaco as one of the four marquee players for this year's tournament. The Argentinian who is a fresh face to the tournament just won the Hamburg title on Sunday and enters the top 10  for the first time today.

The other three marquee players are David Ferrer, Kei Nishikori and Alexandr Dolgopolov.

Meanwhile, PTT Thailand Open who will be celebrating its 10th anniversary has named their marquee players as well. They are Janko Tipsarevic, Gilles Simon, Fernando Verdasco, Richard Gasquet, Milos Raonic, Gael Monfils and Bernard Tomic.

No vacation for Andy Murray; stuck in the rain in Britain

Surprisingly Andy Murray doesn't reward himself with a vacation after a great final at the Wimbledon last week.

While Roger Federer, the eventual Wimbledon champion is spending his vacation at Sardinia, Italy with wifey Mirka, Andy Murray was spotted under the rain with girlfriend Kim Sears as they went shopping on West London's Kensington High Street.

Hope his luck will change for the better soon.
