My nephew Sam Warburg is in his second year on the pro tennis tour and is currently ranked #172 in the world. Or at least he was, until he won three straight qualifying matches to get into the main draw of the Australian Open and then on Monday won his first-round match against #97 in the world, Juan Pablo Brzezicki. Coming off his first-ever match play win in a Grand Slam tournament, Sam is set to go up against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, ranked #38, at 3:00 pm Pacific today. Watch for scores here and don't forget to check ESPN2 for possible coverage. His new ranking will come out next week here -- and it will jump quite a bit. Meanwhile, GO SAM!
