Martina and Tracy Square Off (Again) in Singapore!

Legends matches at the year-end event in Singapore are new(s) to me, so imagine my delight to see my girl Tracy Austin on the roster. The former Powerhouse in Pinafore appeared to be the weakest link at the recent World Team Tennis showdown in Las Vegas, but wouldn't you know it she teamed with (a blond) Arantxa Sanchez Vicario to beat Martina Navratilova and (a leggy) Marion Bartoli in an eight-game pro set (8-5)! Sadly, this untelevised match is far more interesting than any of the so-called marquee match-ups ...

Gunze goodness

Sadly, I think she's being overly optimistic here ...

UPDATE:

Looks like Marion is the weakest link!

Court of Appeals

You know you're associating with the right crowd when one of your friends posts this on Facebook

Wimbledon organizers: Please construct a pathway from the court to the friends box. The image of Marion Bartoli trying to scale the wall like a sweaty cat burglar will not go away.

While another gets this letter published on Jon Wertheim's Tennis Mailbag on SI.com:

When will someone at the Grand Slams have the sense to install some sort of stairs to the friends box for the finals so that we don't have to watch the players almost end their careers by climbing their way there? -- Sean D., Lynbrook, N.Y. 

And what a sponsorship opportunity. If the NCAA can have an official ladder used for the net-cutting ceremony after the national championship game*, tennis should be able to sell a collapsible step stool or somesuch.

 *Running joke that I wish I had made up but didn't: The official ladder of the NCAA is the backs of 19-year-old kids.

Marion Bartoli of France and Andy Murray of Scotland show off their hardware during the Champions' Dinner at a hotel in London. Absolutely loved Marion's reaction to that jackass commentator who said she "wasn't a looker." Read HERE.

Pete Sampras Makes Fun of Michael Chang

Wow, what a bitch. Peter Sampras tells Marion Bartoli that she hits a lot harder than Michael Chang! (Ouch.).And I love how clueless he is, talking about Bartoli like she's an up-and-coming junior! (Via The Daily Spin)
