Here’s your roundup of the five most interesting things I’m enjoying or thinking about this week.

1.) Roger Federer’s Knee Surgery

There’s nothing better than the sublime feeling of hitting with a fresh can of tennis balls, not to mention that new ball scent. Unfortunately, since most tennis balls are pressurized, that new ball sensation is fleeting, and it’s not long before you need to replace them.

However, hitting with a fresh can of tennis balls means you have to remember to buy them before your next scheduled hit, which can be annoying, or leave you hitting with some old duds if you forget.

Not only do you have to make a special trip to the local tennis shop or sporting goods store, but you pay a premium buying by individual cans. Buy tennis balls in bulk, and you can avoid the hassle. Plus, you’ll save yourself time and money in the process too.
