    What's up, girl? Here I am. Can't believe you got me to do this. This is the only social networking site I will ever join - congrats to you. I only did it to avoid doing actual work, of course...

    lol. I feel like such a loser to take time worrying about Nole's personal life, but I am intrigued, nonetheless. :)
    If you go to his site www.novak-djokovic.com and register. Then, login, and go to his forum, go to 'Nole on court', then go to 'Indian Wells Pictures,' you will see yet ANOTHER Maria and Nole pic. It's the second one down.
    I guess, I wish I was her, is all I can say, I mean, Jelena's the one ultimately that has to 'deal' with Novak's fame, and him having many (myself included) admirers. And Novak, well, he is making decisions, too, so, not just Maria.
    I will say that in the picture of them 'playing soccer', it does show her carrying her bag, so probably she was just passing by, not like they were 'really' playing together.
    I do feel a little relieved, though, that I'm not the only one interested.:)

    TB, Is the Jelena that you mention as Nole's girl, Jelena Jankovic? I feel dumb for not knowing that.... :-)
