Back at It–erer

Fans of Roger Federer always take joy in seeing their favorite player back on court. And this shot of Federer practicing was especially welcome considering the 39-year-old has missed most of 2020 out recovering from knee surgery. The fall foliage in the background doesn't hurt either.

"That is a beautiful sight right there," Nicolas Pereira said on Tennis Channel Live. "I don't know what's better, watching the Roger motion or what's in the background."

Work of Art?

The thing about Benoit Paire is it's impossible to ever know what he's about to do next. For some reason, he decided to get some seemingly random items drawn on his face.

"I'm really hoping that's magic marker, but it is Benoit Paire," Brett Haber said.
