Sugarpova Arrives Down Under

January is my kind of month. Not only does the weather heat up here in Melbourne, we have tennis, tennis and more tennis on our TVs and in our stadiums. It's a pretty exciting time to be in Australia. To really put the cherry on the cake, Maria Sharapova is bringing the delicious Sugarpova down under this week.

As if my holiday diet wasn't bad enough already!

Maria will be launching her candy on our sunny shores this Friday at 2pm along the Crown Riverwalk. Fans who are lucky enough to be in Melbourne at this time should flock down to try and catch a glimpse, (and maybe an autograph) of the formidable businesswoman and tennis player.

I'll be down there covering the launch so make sure to check back for some photos and hopefully some flavorsome updates!

Laura Robson and Genie Bouchard rock it out Gangnam Style

It must be nice being a professional tennis player...... You're always in shape, you travel the world, you (hopefully) win lots of money, and in your down-time you make HIGHlarious videos like this!  Laura Robson and Genie Bouchard decided to make a video of their "Gangnam Style" and it's hysterical.  Be on the look out for Samantha Stosur to unexpectantly bust out dancing from an elevator (personally it's my favorite part), and for some cute cameos by Fernando Verdasco and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.  Enjoy!

Off-Court Fashion Hits and Misses: Maria Sharapova

 

by Kait O'Callahan

Tennis players are constantly the subject of scrutiny when it comes to what they wear on the court.  Male or female, if you’re a top player, you can bet everyone will be giving the thumbs up or down to your Nike duds when a Grand Slam rolls around.  Looking at on-court photos, we can deduce that the likes of Serena Williams, Maria Sharapova and Roger Federer all have spectacular style. 

But do they really?

Off-court might tell a different tale.  Free from the restrictions of sponsorship, tennis players can choose exactly what they want to wear.  And that’s not always a good thing.

Starting this week, On The Go Tennis will be analysing the off-court style of a top player. Shoes, earrings, cardigans... nothing will go unnoticed.

This week we take a look at self-confessed fashion fanatic Maria Sharapova.
