We enjoyed a very busy (and photogenic) Day 4 at the US Open on Thursday, catching the Venus and Serena playing doubles, Shahar Peer beating down Carla Suarez Navarro, Sabine Lisicki rolling an ankle after losing her match, and Dinara Safina battling though as always. Here are some of the photos we took along the way.

Maria Sharapova needed three sets to defeat Alona Bondarenko, 4-6, 6-0, 6-3 at the LA Women’s Tennis Championships on Thursday.

“It was good to get my revenge.” Maria said after the match.

Bondarenko beat Sharapova in the quarterfinals of the Warsaw Open this May in what was Maria’s first singles tournament since being sidelined with injury.

Photos from the match and Sharapova’s post-match presser are below. Enjoy!

 

Young up-and-comers Azarenka, Cibulkova, Alona Bondarenko and Chakvetadze go cheesecake for French FHM.

I’d prefer a Tonsga, Monaco, Ferrer and Bolelli bikini shoot, but I guess these photos weren’t meant for me.

On a newsy note, Cibulkova beat Bondarenko in the first round of Roland Garros. Azarenka is  still in it but Ana was knocked out of Paris in the first round.
