Seems Simona has got a new sponsor

@Hoergren So she went w/ Nike after all. Nike owns a lot of the top players atp/wta. How much $$ they must have to pay all these endorsement deals

Hate to say it because she made the WTA more exciting, but I think she’s done being a factor even if she comes back to the tour. At least she managed to win two majors which should get her into the Hall of Fame. How a wealthy athlete can get into a situation like hers is unfathomable.

It seems she picked the wrong baby daddy. I don't know if it matters how much you can pay lawyers, if your co-parent is intractable. This is a shame, for the tour. If she doesn't get back soon, she probably is done.

The more they get that swoosh out there, the happier they are. Good for Simona. I hope she made a good deal.

Is Stella no longer designing for Woz? Her outfit at AO was lovely. I can’t believe that the blind Stella could have thought of something so flattering.

She is still designing but the yellow suit Caroline was playing in in the first match was too heavy according to Caroline, and in the heat that's not a good thing, so she played in the standard Addidas outfit rest of AO - she'll probably be back in her own design at Indian Wells

I suspect you won't see her until IW as I'm sure they will give her a WC as a previous winner and former slam champ.

USA just won their 150th FED cup win - this time over Holland. Last match is a special double where the two sisters will play together, so if you have a possible connection to watch then do it - in about half an hour from this message

Caroline has revealed that she probably will take up triatlon when she's retired from tennis - then she can still eat what she wants. Well actually not that surprised:

Patrik Wozniacki: Wozniacki isn't wearing Stella - Adidas is going with more mass produced kit right now. But he reckons she'll be back wearing Stella before too long.I heard him say that the blue outfit is also Stella just not with the branding. But Adidas/Stella want Caro to promote the blue due to production/stock.

Stella opened a store at Stanford Mall. Hideous stuff nobody will buy. She must have a lot of money to burn with her silly fashion pursuit. I wish she would take up a charity instead.

She seems to have been in the business for a pretty long time... probably more than a silly fashion pursuit, although I know nothing about women's fashion.... maybe if she had a different surname, she wouldn't have got the initial breaks.

Personally, I like Stella McCartney's tennis fashion, and Caro has worn it well. I wish she'd stick with it.

Chrissie is picked as number 5 player on Tennis' list. So, that means Martina, Steffi, Court and Serena are the top 4.

 

[shawnbm]

Margaret Court is picked as number 4 and Pete Sampras is 4 for the men.

 

[Hoergren]

A pretty face for a new sponsor

 

[shawnbm]

^ very, very pretty indeed ...
