Serena vs. Andre: A tale of dueling memoirs

...Like Serena, Andre has been doing the rounds promoting this book. Like Serena he has been hopping from one continent to another, submitting to interviews and fan-filled book signings. Except that unlike Serena, Andre is a thoughtful and self-revelatory interview subject. Here is a report written by Elaine “Lainey” Lui, a Special Correspondent for Canadian TV who… Continue

ATP World Tour Finals

And so we have reached the end of the year, time for vaccation and relaxation. Time to heal the wounds and get ready for the new year, 2010. But before that, it is time for the top8 players in the year-end ranking to face of in one of the most anticipated world tour finals ever.

This year, in London. Everybody is excited about it, because of the fact that it has moved from Shanghai to London, most probably more people are going to want to watch it and take place on the facinating… Continue

Healthy Tips 101

Human today think that I always exercise, therefore, I am very healthy. Lots of peole think in that way?

The fact is, if we are thin, it does not mean that we have total health. According to World Health Organisation (WHO), health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. After I read the whole statement, I thought that it is impossible to achieve physical, mental and social well-being at the same time, so every… Continue

Fall Tennis Anyone?

Hi,

I am searching for a few folks to play tennis with on the weekends here in Midtown Atlanta. I don't know my rating - but have been playing socially for three years and have reasonably good skills. I'm flexible re location and would love to connect with others looking for matches / practice on these beautiful fall weekends.

The Super-Sebian versus the French Clown

...Monfils’ passive and lame-brained approach to tennis will not work against Djokovic tomorrow. In fact, I did not expect it to work today against Stepanek. I am still stunned that it did. Indeed, after watching Djokovic blow Nadal off the court, I left home and went to play tennis myself, confident that I would come home to the news of a Djokovic vs. Stepanek finals. I have… Continue

How To Be A Great Tennis Partner

I play for four different tennis teams right now. That means, with shuffling line-ups and subs, I may have four different partners each week. In the course of a month, I can theoretically be partnered with sixteen different people!

So, each month, I may be learning how to partner and achieve success with sixteen different people. And, sixteen different people may be sizing me up, considering my tennis game, deciding if I am the kind of partner they ever want to play with… Continue

Paris Masters 1000 Update

Roger Federer

Shocking first-round exit against Julien Bennetau. Federer wins first set comfortably (5-2). And like he usually does when he gets comfortable, in his mind he thinks the match is over and it is going to be an easy win, but Julien forces the second set into a tie-break and wins that one. Roger looses his composure and gets broken early in the second set, match results: 5-2 6-7 4-6 - Julien Bennetau wins his greatest match ever so far in his career. Good for him. What… Continue

Can Philippoussis find happiness with a Cougar?

...When Mark Philippoussis embarrassed himself and all of tennis by appearing on a reality show looking for a woman, I could barely watch for shame. He had the choice of “Cougars” or “Kittens”. Most of the women had that sheen of desperation one comes to expect of women who go on reality shows to find fame, I mean a mate. Mark seemed wooden, lost, vapid. Even Flava Flav… Continue

Federer Vs Djokovic @ Basel

The good town folk of Basel were in for a treat this last weekend, or so they thought. Basel resident and favorite son Roger Federer lost in three sets to Novak Djokovic 6-4, 4-6, 6-2 bringing to a close what had started off as a pretty good year for the greatest tennis pro off all time. Well there's always the Barclays end of year Master's Series in London to redeem himself before taking a much needed vacation.

So what went wrong? Have the top dogs found a chink in Federer's… Continue

Roger and Rafa about Agassi's meth confession

Nadal-"Asked about the surprise statements Andre Agassi, in which the U.S. admitted having used drugs. "I think is fatal," said Nadal, who said he did not understand "why say that now because he is retired, is a way of hurting the sport without any sense. If at the time the ATP covered the topic of Agassi and yes I passed other seems a lack of respect for all sports and from my point of view I want, I believe and hope that none of this is happening now. I think we have a clean sport and I am… Continue
