You might not feel like it yet, but come the weekend you’re going to be craving more tennis. That’s when you can tune into Tennis Channel for a sampling of clay court action both Stateside and abroad.

Marbella, a.k.a. the Andalucia Tennis Experience is (surprise!) in Spain. Top seeds at “press” time include Jelena Jankovic and Serena Williams (there’s a photo on the website of Serena arriving at the tournament, “visibly tired” after Miami but still planning to play – click here for more.)

Ponte Vedra Beach is new this year, taking over from the atmospheric Amelia Island event. It’s in Florida and includes top seeds Nadia Petrova, Caroline Wozniacki and Dominika Cibulkova. The 14-year-old American “phenom,” Madison Keys, made an impressive WTA debut yesterday by beating Alla Kudryavtseva in straights. I doubt she’ll still be around this weekend though.

Houston, a.k.a. the U.S. Men’s Clay Court Championships is headed by top seeds James Blake and Mardy Fish as well as Tommy Haas, John Isner, Sam Querrey and the Bryan brothers. Click here for the website.
