Sunday, June 12, 2011 at 3:30PM It was a rainy day in England, and since the players couldn't be out on the court they logged onto Twitter to pass the time. Andy Murray started it all with a tweet, and before you knew it, Novak Djokovic, Serena Williams, Kim Clijsters, and the Bryan Brothers all joined in. It was Twittertastic. Check it out:
Wednesday, June 8, 2011 at 12:13PM Supermodel and wife of Andy Roddick, Brooklyn Decker, stopped by the Craig Ferguson Show on Monday to promote the DVD release of her film "Just Go With It." After a bit of talking about spray tans, snakes, and dog sweat (really) the topic turned to tennis at around the 5:22 mark (but I highly suggest you watch the whole thing because it's funny). Best line: "My husband can hold balls very well." Check it out!
Thanks to @unaghii for tweeting it!
Tuesday, June 7, 2011 at 12:21PM Andy Roddick ditched his traditional socks and ankle braces for a pair of teeny black ankle socks today in his match against Feliciano Lopez. The change really had Twitter buzzing, was it really a new look, or a joke? Roddick won the match 7-6 (2), 6-7 (5), 6-4 and during his on-court interview he was asked about his fashion risk (or faux pas).
Always the comedian, he said that he's just trying to "flash the calf" because people say his wife, model Brooklyn Decker, has nice legs and he doesn't want to be second in the family.
What do you think of the new look?

Monday, June 6, 2011 at 7:56PM Here are some interesting and/or fun stories buzzing around the tennis world right now:
Caroline Wozniacki made a 9 million dollar investment in a pair of apartments in New York prior to the French Open. They're kinda sweet.
Tennis meets fashion as 15 women players, including Ana Ivanovic, Maria Sharapova, and Serena Williams, will pair with Britain's top and emerging fashion designers during Wimbledon.
A bizarre interview with Rafael Nadal. The interviewer has some good points, but is clearly not a Rafa fan.
A little more Rafa, as he parties it up after his victory with Xisca and family. Uncle Toni is looking mighty snazzy.
Andy Murray had to stand in the shower with a "strange girl" for an hour for his new video for Head Tennis. He also dishes about pitfalls of giving too much or too little to the media.
Roger Federer pulled out of The Gerry Weber Open and the tournament director is none too pleased.
In Roger's defense, Andy Murray makes a good point about all the pull outs from various tourneys this week.
And finally, Fed gets to test-drive a Mercedes that isn't even on the market yet. The luxuries of being the G.O.A.T.
Monday, April 25, 2011 at 6:04PM Serena Williams is adding a new career to her resume......female rapper.
Via TMZ:
We're told Serena hit the studio last week to lay down a few tracks ... and is working with a record label owned by Minnesota Vikings star Bryant McKinnie.
During the session, we're told Serena did some work with renowned hip-hip producer DJ Clue ... and she wasn't half-bad.
Well.........it can't be any worse than her trying to channel Madonna while singing Karaoke with her pals last month, right? Right!?!
Oh Lawd.
