Novak Djokovic really isn’t hot on the New York heat. I just caught this clip of Nole getting all steamy about the shade right after his 6-3, 3-6, 2-6, 7-5, 6-3 victory over Victor Troicki on Tuesday. On court temps topped 100-degrees during the match. Something tells me he doesn’t call his girlfriend, the lovely [...]

Victoria Azarenka collapsed during the 1st set of her match against Gisela Dulko today on GrandStand court. Dulko was leading 5-1 in the 1st set at the time of the collapse. Sounds like maybe the heat may have possibly exacerbated her mild concussion? Either way, a real bummer for Azarenka. Feel better! Some quotes from [...]

Lightening does strike twice! Roger Federer repeated last year’s “greatest shot” on Monday night in Arthur Ashe stadium during his first round match vs. Argentine journeyman Brian Dabul. Here’s Roger’s tweener, 2010 style (watch quick, before it’s inevitably taken down by tennis youtube police): The shot’s great, and these reactions are almost as good: Paul [...]

This Roger Federer advertisement for Lindt Chocolates is all kinds of wrong (just imagine if, say, Maria Sharapova was starring)  yet it’s so hilarious! Enjoy: A behind the scenes look @ the Lindor commercial. Thanks to GTT reader Mia for sharing this! Extended version: UPDATE #2: A little info from the press release accompanying the [...]

The 2009 US Open Champion, Kim Clijsters,  threw in the first pitch for the Mets Friday nite. I think Kim looks really cute in a Met’s baseball jersey. I thought i was going to see a 80mph straight bullet from Kimmy, but to my surprise, it was just a lobby moonball to the catcher’s mitten. [...]

Big thanks to GTT reader, LongLiveKingRog, for passing this along. The Federer/Nadal promo video that was leaked out from the Cincy Master’s tournament is now official. For those unlucky few who weren’t able to watch the uncut version, you at least have this nicely edited version. Credit Suisse was kind enough to offer the video [...]

Venus Williams made an appearance on the Today Show this morning on NBC. Apparently she co-designed an outfit with Ralph Lauren, which she will be wearing today at 2pm while she hosts/teaches the 2nd “Legends Clinic” with Ralph Lauren. You can catch a live stream of Venus on Ralph Lauren’s website. Thanks to B1 for [...]

Big thanks to GTT reader, Nusi, for posting this video of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal being grilled by Cincinnati.com junior journalists, Abigail Singer and Katherine Arnole. What poise these two pre-teens display! Of course, at that age, a little giggling is to be expected (this 32 year old lady could learn a thing or [...]

Roger Federer successfully defended his Cincinnati Masters title today, beating Mardy Fish 6-7, 7-6, 6-4 in the final. It’s the 17th Masters title of his career (tying Agassi, one behind Nadal) and his second title of the year, the other being the Australian Open. This victory snaps his mini losing streak in finals, Roger having [...]

ESPN’s E:60 posted this awesome documentary video of Maria Sharapova returning to Chernobyl, the place that was once her family’s home. A nice celebration of immigrant parents making the ultimate sacrifice for their children. This video definitely hits home for me, as my family fled Vietnam in ’75 with nothing but their clothes on their [...]

*UPDATE* Well, I got the cease and desist via email today, so I had to take the best tennis video ever off GOTOTENNIS. Sorry folks! The legal budget’s a little tight around here. But I’m assuming all you die hard Fedal nerds have watched it at least twenty times by now and can now reenact [...]

Thanks to GTT reader/commenter Nusi for finding and posting this awesome video in the comments section. Frites thinks this is real and amazing. I, Fritters, think this is fake a viral video for Gillette, similar to Andy Murray’s Head viral video and Novak Djokovic’s viral video as well. Regardless though, this is really fun and [...]
