- We just like Monfils
Though still amateurs, L’il Tennis Maryland is proud of our work. Unlike L’il Debbie and L’il Lisa Simpson, we’re not exactly a household name. Yet, somehow, we finished the equivalent of a tennis reporting marathon for more than two weeks of CitiOpen and Legg Mason coverage. Everyone: volunteers, officials and grounds staff showed their tourney’s forty years of wisdom in making this tournament better than ever. We especially want to thank Kerry Bohen and the ATP media relations staff for treating us like the Washington Post rather than our hometown newspaper, the Crofton Crier. 
It is time to get back to Maryland Tennis at Tennis Maryland. US Open Wildcard Playoffs in College Park, a feature on the Junior Tennis Champions Center, an update on Troy Park in Elkridge and a look at the Baltimore Tennis Patrons lessons are all scheduled for the days ahead.
But, until that time, here is some video of the Legg Mason trophy presentation and the match highlights. It was inspiring to witness Radek Stepanek’s reactions, who was so obviously shocked and over-joyed compared to past winners. The Trophy presentation video features a front-loaded cameo appearance on Stadium Court by Baltimore’s own Torbin Green, who was on assignment from ThisWeekinTennis.com. He’s also a contributor here at TennisMaryland.com.
