It’s not a full line-up of the Day 3 roster, but we thought we’d share some photos we snapped of Marat Safin, Kim Clijsters, Rafael Nadal, Richard Gasquet, Victoria Azarenka, a semi-shirtless David Ferrer and others from Wednesday at the US Open.
The attractive woman you might not recognize is Polona Hercog – an eighteen year [...]

Andy Roddick, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, David Ferrer, Fernando Gonzalez, Vera Zvonareva, Aleksandra Wozniak, Sabine Lisicki and other tennis players attended the 10th annual Taste of Tennis event on Thursday night at the W Hotel in Manhattan. Proceeds from the event support the Food Bank for New York City. A description from the Taste of [...]

Okay, not everyone is shirtless while they practice for the US Open. But Jo-Wilfried Tsonga is! As is David Ferrer – who I’m hoping is recovering nicely from his knee tendinitis. Andy Roddick might as well be shirtless, due to his over-sweating. Whoo hoo! (Sorry, WTA fans, all I got is a shirt-wearing Jelena Jankovic.) [...]

It’s a brave new era for Federer fandom. At least for me. Last week in Montreal, Roger lost his quarterfinal against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga after holding a 5-1 lead in the third set. Instead rolling on the floor moaning “Why, Roger why? What’s happening to you?” I just shrugged and said, “Better luck next time, buddy.”
I [...]

Well, that was a waste. I was kicking back on Wednesday evening, glass of wine in hand, ready to watch Rafael Nadal battle the feisty David Ferrer in his first ATP singles match since Roland Garros. Then Ferrer retired after the seventh game and all I got out of it was: Rafa looks good in [...]

In a day of upsets at the French Open, the biggest by far was Venus Williams’s loss to Agnes Szavay in an unbelievable scoreline: 0-6, 4-6.
Venus couldn’t believe it, either: “You know, I’m used to beating people 6‑0. I’m not used to my shot not going in and losing a set 6‑0. So it [...]

David Ferrer was asked at the Madrid Open about Federer’s chances against Rafa and had this to say (in Spanish):
“Roger Federer has sufficient tennis to beat Rafa Nadal.  He can do it, but it’s very complicated.  Rafa is the indisputable number one on clay and  in the world, but most of all on clay.  Also [...]

Really, what more is there to say? Rafael Nadal is on auto-pilot, winning every match he plays. Here are the highlights from Rafa’s victory over David Ferrer in the final of the Barcelona Open:

Congrats, Rafa, for making it 5 in a row in Barcelona!
Here’s Rafa talking about his victory:

Rafa seems confident that he can keep [...]

Ridiculous stat: Rafael Nadal has a 141-4 win record on clay since 2005.
Okay, back to business: here are some highlights from Saturday’s semi final matches at the Barcelona Open. Rafael Nadal defeated a back-from-injury Nikolay Davydenko, 6-3, 6-2, and David Ferrer took out Fernando Gonzalez in three:  2-6, 6-2, 7-6(5). David described his win as [...]

Spaniards Rafael Nadal, Fernando Verdasco and Tommy Robredo all won their third round match ups Thursday at the Barcelona Open. Take a look at the highlights, above.
All four of the top seeds will advance, with Friday’s quarterfinals as follows:
Nikolay Davydenko (3) vs. Radek Stepanek (Czech leads head-to-head 4-3), David Ferrer (4) vs. Tommy Robredo (Ferrer [...]

Look out, Brooklyn Decker! Spanish ELLE did a photo shoot in Miami featuring the biological miracle that is Spanish tennis. Fernando Verdasco, David Ferrer, Feliciano Lopez and Nicolas Almagro frolicked in the sun and sand like a team of professional Zoolanders. Photos will appear in the May issue of Elle.
