Seeing a tournament director helping the staff dry the courts is something quite rare, especially when it involves a former player.
However, this is exactly what James Blake, director of the Masters 1000 in Miami, did this Saturday when the rain disrupted the tournament for a long time.
Here at the Miami Open, and I’m pretty sure @JRBlake was out helping dry off the court. This dude is worth millions, the tournament director, and a former pro but still helps out like this. That’s how you lead from the front. pic.twitter.com/wYsgz8iDrQ

A photo which caused a reaction on the web and in particular some of his former colleagues and compatriots including the always very teasing Mardy Fish.
I know for a fact James paid that person to take the picture of him wiping off a tiny drop of water to show he does more than Tommy Haas in Indian Wells

“I know for a fact that James paid this person to take the photo of him wiping up a tiny drop of water to show that he is doing more than Tommy Haas at Indian Wells”wrote the former 7th player in the world with a lot of humor.
