* It seems things are still going well for Jelena Jankovic and her strapping boytoy Mladjan Janovic whom she met at the Beijing Olympics last year. The pair celebrated New Year's Eve together in Serbia and even swapped spit for the cameras. Awww - young love. Things also went well for JJ last season but she isn't feeling any pressure coming in as the top lady baller this year saying, "I don't really have to prove anything to anybody. I play tennis because I love to play. I want to achieve my goals..."
* Condolences go out to Kim Clijsters whose father, Lei, died on Sunday after losing a year-long battle with long cancer. He was 52.
* What kind of car does Nicole Vaidisova drive? What's it like inside Elena Dementieva's Russian home?? Can Caroline Wozniacki serve while blindfolded??? Find out the answers here...
* Venus Williams may be MIA in Hong Kong for the revamped JB Group Classic but the 5-time Wimbledon champ sat down with ESPN.com recently and gave her views on Centre Court's new retractable roof.
* Andy Roddick, who was spotted signing a camera condom (thanks TP!) after his first round win in Doha, promised to keep fans updated more frequently this year. According to his blog, "Ok so here is how I am gonna do it this year…. 24 blogs promised this year… sign, sealed, delivered…. am willing to take suggestions for what I have to do if I don’t meet the quota…. this one counts for the new year." We'll be watching A-Rod, no worries.
* Take Jon Wertheim's tennis pop quiz and find out how he answered his own questions - it's ingenious!
* Patricia Davis over at Tennis Diary wondered who will end 2009 as the top lady baller - an "ich" or an "ova" - but fears her "ova" might be "ova". Get it, got it, good.
* Have you checked out Vince Spadea's vlogs for the ATP World Tour? It features the usual Vince stuff (horrible headwear, more horrible rapping) and a fun fact: he traveled to the Brisbane tourney only to find out he's not even entered. It's pure comedy relief. CHECK IT:
