Andy and Robby crash out in the desert...

NO MORE EYE (C)ANDY: My annual trip to the Pacific Life Open is up in the air for various reasons. But if I do end up missing the big tennis tournament near Palm Springs for the first time in ages, two of the biggest reasons I wanted to go are already gone: both Andy Roddick and Robby Ginepri lost in the second round over the weekend. Andy lost to Germany's Tommy Haas who has now defeated Roddick in six of their nine career matches.

Andy was still upbeat at his post-match press conference Sunday because he is coming off a really big win last week in Dubai: "I've been playing very, very well for the last month so I'm not going to freak out over this loss and forget everything I've been able to kind of work towards in the last month. My confidence is fine," the 2003 U.S. Open champion added. "I feel optimistic about the tournaments coming up."

One last thought: Tommy (below) is pretty awesome to watch himself. There is still a lot of incentive to get to Palm Springs this week!
