I’m back….no seriously I’m back this time for real. What a better way to come back than to My Future Baby Daddy Monday-James Blake. While at ESPN last night (details not allowed to be disclosed….yet) I got a glimpse of this hottie and DAMN he is delicious. I didn’t recognize him at first then once it was confirmed it was on. For those that have been caught up in other things let me tell you about Mr. Blake and why he’s future baby daddy material. James Riley Blake is 28 years young born in Yonkers, New York has one of the best forehands in the game, New York Times bestselling author and although unfortunately he just lost the bronze medal in the Olympics he had one of his biggest wins ever in the quarterfinals over Roger Federer.
Blake has one of the best comeback stories in sports. He’s managed to become one of the best in the world despite multiple misfortunes over the last couple of years. He’s managed to be inspirational to so many and you can’t help but root for this guy. Back in 2004 while practicing for the masters in Rome, he was running towards the net to return a drop shot when he slipped and slammed head first into a steel post. The impact broke his neck. Had it been another inch to the left or right he would have been paralyzed.
Even though the doctors wanted him to stay, he went back his house in Connecticut to recuperate. Being in a brace, in horrific pain dealing with such a serious injury he has said that it was the luckiest thing to happen to him. Why? His father had kept the fact from his sons (James has an older brother) that he had stomach cancer and when James returned back home it turned out to be the last few weeks of his father’s life and he got to spend a lot of time with him. After his father died, he was diagnosed with Zoster. A neurological disorder brought upon by stress. It caused him to have serious hearing loss, one side of his face was paralyzed and put him out of tennis for 6 months.
In 2005 being ranked at 127, he hustled and worked his sick forehand and started to win. He was then invited as wild card into the U.S. Open. He brought his cheering station called the J-Block into the quarterfinals where he went up against one of his idols Andre Agassi. That match was one of the sport events of that year and Agassi won it in a heartbreaking fifth set tie-breaker. James told Andre that it was the best time he ever had losing a match. Since then he has continued his rise in tennis and brought a praise worthy performance at this year’s Olympics.
Another reason to keep looking fly is because now Mr. Blake is roaming the streets of Manhattan. He has stepped up his style game and never appears a carpet looking bad. Nothing but delish, oh yea and he likes cuff-links “Check please”. I’m all over it. Word is that he is no longer with his trollup girlfriend Jennifer Scholle. When asked about a possible girlfriend he replied with “I don’t need any more complications”. That’s ok Mr. Blake, I will things nice and simple for you. Speaking of complications, one of his good friends is former baby daddy John Mayer. That fine, I’ll take Mr. Blake over Mayer any day. So much luck to my future baby daddy, he’s coming in as number 9 in the U.S. Open. You can do it kid.
