Maybe it’s just me, but I sometimes think that all the truly good people in the world aren’t the ones plastered in magazines and making ludicrous amounts of money. However, there are times when I am proven wrong and today was such a day.
Yesterday, Justin Gimelstob’s charity event was short a tennis participant due to […]
She has a degree folks - more than one branding iron in the fire.
Venus Williams has graduated from the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale with an associate degree in fashion design. It took Williams eight years to complete her course work due to her hectic tennis schedule.

She is contemplating it. Monica Seles hasn’t played since the 2003 French Open and won her last Grand Slam in Australia in 1996.

As if tennis didn’t have enough issues swirling about it, John McEnroe has stepped up and made a bold statement.

I’ve been known to harp on America’s top-ranked player Andy Roddick. I can’t seem to help it but I tell myself I do it out of love because I have long been a fan of Roddick’s. He’s like the little mischevious boy down the street. He does things wrong but you can’t help but smile […]

Good news for us, the Aussie Open’s field is the strongest in the event’s 103-year history. All top-ranked 100 men and 99 of the top 100 women are slated to play and that, my friends, is exciting.
It’s like having 100 of the smartest people in the world sitting around and having a first-class debate…only better. […]
