Saturday was a very busy day at Indian Wells – the sold out day session, the overflow parking situation and the epic bathroom lines were just the start of it. It felt like the entire population of Tennis Landia was trying to get inside Stadium 2 to watch Andy Murray/Ross Hutchins vs. James Blake/Andy Roddick [...]
No, these aren’t our photos. We weren’t invited to the Indian Wells Players’ Party, sniff! And good thing we weren’t, because. . .well, we might have said something rude to Ana about her pantyhose. Let’s take a look:
So far, so gorgeous, for Ana Ivanovic!
And then we get to the nurse pantyhose and 80’s secretary pumps. [...]
Ana Ivanovic and Maria Kirilenko attracted quite a crowd during their joint practice session at Indian Wells on Wednesday afternoon. We took a few snaps of this photogenic duo for your viewing enjoyment.
Eyewitness report: It was windy enough out there to make the local weather report today, so I’m not going to get on Ana [...]
Did they mean “Tennis Babes or Tennis Babies ?” you may ask, after seeing Victoria Azarenka in a diaper.
We’ll leave it to you to decide. Check out our shots of Zheng Jie, Alize Cornet, Gisela Dulko, Jelena Jankovic, Victoria Azarenka and Nadia Petrova. (Tennis Babe perverts should right click on the images for supa-dupa high [...]
Venus Williams beat Kim Clijsters in the final of the Billie Jean King Cup exhibition on Monday night: 6-4, 3-6, 7-5.
This is Venus’s third title in just over two weeks. Yes, I know it was only a one night exhibition but the draw was tough and the no-ad scoring format required extreme concentration. Oh, and [...]
Ana’s new coach, Heinz Gunthardt (pictured above in 1985) was interviewed by the Swiss paper, Tages Anzeiger, on Tuesday. Here is my Google-assisted translation (click here for the original):
Heinz Günthardt how did your cooperation with Ivanovic come to be?
We’ve only agreed that I will help her out for the time being, until the tournament in [...]
I had the chance to speak very briefly with Ana Ivanovic today via a conference call to promote next week’s BNP Paribas Showdown for the Billie Jean King Cup. Ana, who played in the exhibition last year, is filling in this time for an injured Serena Williams. She called in from San Diego, where she’s [...]
Ana Ivanovic announced on her website today that she is working with 51-year-old Swiss tennis coach, TV commentator and former pro Heinz Gunthardt, who helped guide Steffi Graf to 12 major titles. Gunthardt and Ivanovic will make their public debut as a team at next week’s BNP Paribas Showdown exhibition in New York, where Ana is [...]
Unlike tennis wife Brooklyn Decker, Ana Ivanovic is no pro at this swimsuit modeling thing. At least not yet. Here are some of her shots from the recent Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. (I think I read somewhere that SI sells more swimsuit editions than any other issue – I can see why!)
Ana’s obvious appeal also [...]
The Fed Cup drama continued on deciding Day 2, with two World Group ties being extended to a live fifth rubber and last year’s finalists showing off their dominance.
Question # 1: Do you prefer the Davis Cup format, with doubles in the middle position, or Fed Cup, where it’s either an irrelevant “dead” rubber or [...]
Day One of the first round of Fed Cup World Group action is over – and it’s getting exciting! Here’s a quick update (all facts and figures via the indespensible FedCup.com)
Russia vs. Serbia at Serbia: 1 – 1
(Anyone else really digging Jelena’s patriotic dress?)
Ana Ivanovic lost in straight sets to Svetlana Kuznetsova in the opening [...]
After giving us a scare in his first round, Roger Federer was kind to his fans on Thursday evening. He soared to a 6-2, 6-3, 6-2 victory vs. Victor Hanescu on Rod Laver Arena, remaining unfazed when a touring Prince William stopped by during the third set. It was a vintage Federer performance, hitting 52 [...]
