I admit I had a hard time following all of the tennis action from the past week. We had the men and women in Brisbane, Roger and Rafa (and the mighty Kolya!) in Doha, Peer protests in New Zealand, an ATP tourny in India, Laura Robson making Andy Murray look good at the Hopman Cup [...]

Two things we know without a doubt about the Spanish Davis Cup Team:

They’re unbeatable at home (final score after Sunday’s dead rubber play: 5-0, Spain.)
The U.N. is holding the team in a bomb shelter, in the event a nuclear apocalypse necessitates that a few choice human specimens repopulate the [...]

“Janko Tipsarevic Unplugged” says the ATP tour. Isn’t Janko Tipsarevic always unplugged?
Yes, he does say he hates Novak Djokovic – and says Rafael Nadal chokes. Watch the video and find out why.

Janko’s the guy you want to invite to your next dinner party, right?
And here’s a nice one of Tommy Robredo, his dad and his [...]

Tomas Berdych and Radek Stepanek took care of business on Saturday, pairing up after their epic five setters the day before to beat  Marin Cilic/Lovro Zovko in the doubles: 6-1 6-3 6-4. The Czech team is now 3-0 over the Croatians, and is guaranteed a spot in the Davis Cup [...]

The men put in a good day’s work on Day Four of the US Open on Thursday, including some solid wins by Tommy Haas, Fernando Verdasco, Novak Djokovic and Tommy Robredo. Here are some of our snapshots.

I hate to be a Negative Nellie, but so far I’m unimpressed with this year’s US Open Players’ Party. Where is everyone? (And by everyone I mean Federer, Nadal, Sharapova, Roddick, etc.) Maybe we’ll get video of Nole pole dancing with the Bondarenko sisters tomorrow. . . until then, here are some photos of Venus, [...]

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.

**UPDATE** A big GRACIAS to Henry from Bogota for doing an excellent translation of the video – see the comments section to read about Manolo’s wisecrack and Rafa’s self-improvement motto.
Boy, I wish I knew Spanish (or had an audio version of Google translate), because this video is one great, big Rafa Bomb! Good thing he’s [...]

Yeah, taking photos hunky players at an ATP tournament is not a challenge. Talk about point and shoot! Make sure to check out the gallery to find your favorites. (And our apologies for not getting everyone!)
Hot Potito! Yeah, I was surprised, too. Potito Starache was until recently a UHO – Unidentified Hunky Object – until [...]

Murray, Stepanek and Robredo come out on top. And what else do Radek and Tommy have in common?
