"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23Gh_sZgtyM&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Daily Bagel is your dose of the interesting reporting, writing and quipping from around the Internet.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022\u00A0Video: A squirrel interrupted Sabine Lisicki's match at the U.S. Open. Weirdly, it's not the first time that's happened.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022\u00A0Alicia Molik says\u00A0Sam Stosur\u00A0needs to take a break.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Stosur was devastated by her flop against 17-year-old Duval, having led by a set and 4-2. Molik, another former Taylor pupil, said that \"not having the person there that you've always had with you\" would have been unfamiliar and perhaps unsettling.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"Sam's obviously incredibly disappointed \u2013 it's rough,\" said Molik, who had helped to prepare Stosur last week. \"But I think it will be good for her to take time away after the US Open, and for her to really have some moments away from tennis, away from the limelight, away from tournaments, to really settle down and find the direction and the pathway, and the person that she feels will again bring out the best in her.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022\u00A0From &lt;em&gt;The New York Times&lt;/em&gt;, these new claims that The Battle of the Sexes was fixed by the mafia sound fishy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nobody featured in this incredible tale is still alive except Shaw, the assistant golf pro who says he overheard everything. While it\u2019s possible that Shaw kept it to himself for 40 years because he\u2019s just not a chatty guy, one of the other lead players was talkative in the extreme. Frank Ragano, who allegedly orchestrated the gathering, eventually produced a memoir, \u201CMob Lawyer,\u201D which he wrote with Selwyn Raab. There is nothing in it about tennis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201CRagano would have mentioned it to me,\u201D said Nicholas Pileggi, a longtime friend of Ragano\u2019s who wrote the book\u2019s foreword. \u201CHe wanted to do the book, and he kept telling me: \u2018This could go in the book. That could go in the book.\u2019 Anything that was going to help promote the book.\u201D&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pileggi, one of the world\u2019s great experts on all things Mafia, was offended at the idea that anyone could imagine top mob bosses trotting into a country club and hashing out a long-running plot to fix a tennis match in the pro shop. \u201CThe notion of Santo Trafficante and Carlos Marcello appearing together in a public locker room is so outrageous,\u201D he sniffed. \u201CThese guys do not\u00A0&lt;em&gt;meet&lt;/em&gt;.\u201D&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022\u00A0SI.com's Eli Bernstein on\u00A0the chaotic and ADD-fueled experience\u00A0of the first few rounds at the U.S. Open.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022\u00A0Nice espnW piece on Jamie Hampton, who's set to play Sloane Stephens on Friday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022\u00A0Kei Nishikori\u00A0crashed out in the first round, but thanks to the Japanese market he's still one of the top earning tennis players in the world.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022\u00A0A chat with Bob Whyley, Senior VP at Tennis Channel.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022\u00A0Simon Cambers at The Tennis Space on the uncomfortable relationship between tennis and betting.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022\u00A0It's been a rough week for the top personalities in tennis, which is a bummer for us writers.\n\u2022\u00A0Non-tennis: There's a Rye N. Gosling cocktail being served up in San Francisco.&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
