All aTwitter

he all-American doubles match today between Justin Gimelstob/Jesse Levine and Taylor Dent/David Martin could be a communications breakthrough.
“The rules are you can’t use an electronic, mechanical or mobile device,” Gimelstob said, “so what I’m going to do is have one of my buddies (tournament media director Peter Holtermann) sitting right by the court with my phone.
“I’ll do what I normally do, which is not shut up and have a running commentary during the match, giving him little anecdotes.
“At the changeover I can write little notes and give them to the ball kids to hand over.
“It will be put on my Twitter page (twitter.com/justingimelstob) – the first-ever Twitter by proxy during a sporting event.”
