Black Tennis Report for March
James Blake gets his first victory over former Number 1 Lleyton Hewitt and his fifth ATP Tour title. At the inaugural Tennis Channel Open in Las Vegas, NV James Blake won his second ATP Tour title of the year.
James Blake gets to first Masters Series Final (Pacific Life Open), which he lost 5-7, 3-6, 0-6 against World #1 Roger Federer. James started his first Tier 1 Final extremely well, running off to a double break 4-1 lead in the first set before Federer found a way to come back to win that set and run away with the match and his 3rd consecutive title at Indian Wells.
Venus Williams and Serena Williams pull out of hometown tournament (NASDAQ-100 Open). Venus falls out of the Top 10 (#11) and Serena falls out of the Top 60!
James Blake entered the ATP Tour Top 10 for the first time in March 2006, and is widely regarded as one of the hottest players on the tour of the last 6 months. The picture at the top of this month's Black Tennis Report is James after being awarded the ATP Comeback Player of the Year Award.

Federer always finds a way to win a match. He's gonna win the US, it's just a matter of how easily. I'd like to see someone else win, but i dont' think that will happen. I picked him to win my Raquet Bracket on the Tennnis Channel online.
