He Said/She Said: Tweets of the Week

In the latest installment of Tweets of the Week, Brad Gilbert is Linsane in the membrane, Ryan Harrison continues his reputation for being born in the wrong era, and Amer Delic laments the fact that he’s not Roger Federer.

Tweet of the Week: Brad Gilbert has some sound advice for Knicks sensation Jeremy Lin.

Just heard some disturbing news on the radio: Kim Kardashians reps have reached out to Linsanity – if true he better block that shot.—

Best of the Rest

10. Aussie dilemma: Coach Roger Rasheed makes a good point about the difficulty of popularizing tennis in Australia.

Tennis was all over the media in Dec/Jan, now we wait 10 months- this is 1 of the reasons kids don't play=no daily role models to follow—

9. Rumblin,’ bumblin,’ stumblin’: The AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am was a good source of entertainment for Andy Roddick.

5. Bonnie & Clyde: Julia Goerges teamed up with Zheng Jie in doubles in Doha, called her Jay-Z all week and then posted this pic. Gangsta-ish.

4. Legends: It’s always nice to see the old guard healthy and happy. Here’s Amelie Mauresmo and Mary Pierce at last week’s Paris tournament. Retirement looks good on them.

Avec Mary la semaine dernière. Was great seeing her ! instagr.am/p/HBlXGAQ160/—

3. The luck of Fed: Look, Amer, if you win 16 Grand Slam titles, things will break your way too.

Just realized Fed got €30,000 and 90 points without even stepping on the court in Rotterdam. Yup, life is fair.—
