Quote of the Day: Kuznetsova


I am not prepared to undergo a makeover. I am not going on the court to show off my dress. I am going out there to play.

- Svetlana Kuznetsova on her (lack of) marketability

Damn skippy. Yeah she's not Maria or Serena and she's fine with it. But she's a baller's baller in the best sense. I do hope she wins another Grand Slam.

Could the former finalist squeak out the title in Paris?

SIGHTING: Murray + yoga make a body good


Andy Murray, who famously discussed his yearning for yoga, was spotted cooling down with a side-angle stretch after his 5-set win over beautiful Frenchie Jonathan Eysseric at Roland Garros. The Brit baller has a potentially tricky opponent in the second round: Argentinian Jose Acasuso.

Let's hope yoga can get his physical + mental game on track...if not here, then by Wimbledon.

Side note: LOVING the kelly green Fred Perry t-shirt Andy!

SIGHTING: Sharapova hits up Tiffany's Paris Store, debuts French Open outfit + earrings


Maria "Shriek"apova, looking flawless in red, made her way to the Tiffany's Paris Store to debut the Nike Paris Dress she'll be wearing during her run towards a career Grand Slam. The world no. 1 also showed off the 18K gold Tiffany earrings designed by Elsa Peretti.

FASHION FIX: Venus struggles with game + EleVen outfit


Venus Williams recently took some much needed time off to rest and her lack of match play showed today at Roland Garros. The 6-time Grand Slammer struggled mightily against Israel's Tzipora Oblizer, falling a break down in the final set before pulling out a 6-3, 4-6, 6-2 win.

You know what's also struggling? Her outfit. I'm usually a big fan of V's fashion choices but this EleVen outfit is all over the place. The navy, green + white color combo is definitely refreshing but the design of the shirt, with the color panels on the side, and the fit seem amateurish. Plus the top and skirt, stylewise, are a mismatch.

Let's hope V has more fashionable goodies in that Wilson tennis bag.

FASHION FIX: Federer defeats Querrey, goes dark for Nike


Roger Federer made his debut at the French Open today defeating giant American baller Sam Querrey 6-4, 6-4, 6-3 and continuing his quest for a lucky no. 13 Grand Slam.

Fed also debuted his new Nike duds which I previewed at the start of the spring season. The Sphere React Cool Polo in dark obsidian and the Dri-FIT Control Short in the same hue look great on the world no. 1.


But one question: where is the Sphere React Cool Polo in lilac???

PHOTO OP: The Williams family dance looks painful

Wow - does the drama gene run in this family or what? Mama Oracene, Venus and baby sis Serena seem to be busting some kind of (painful) move.

Maybe it's a Williams family dance?

Harkleroad to give it up for Playboy, tongue and all


Okay boys - Ashley Harkleroad is ready for her close-up...and I mean really close.

Pebbles, who was dismantled by Serena Williams in the French Open first round, will be the first tennis baller to give it up for Playboy magazine. She'll be appearing in the magazine's August issue and said about her decision:

There's a few reasons why I did it, but I can't really go into it right now. But like I said, I really didn't think it was that big of a deal. I'm proud of my body. I stay in shape and try to stay fit.

Love it - but let's hope it's a lot sexier than this baller's attempt.

Body betrays Eysseric but beauty remains intact


Jonathan Eysseric is one to watch...and in more ways than one.

The 17-year old Frenchie wild card went the distance with Brit baller Andy Murray but fell 2-6, 6-1, 6-4, 0-6, 2-6 when his body began to betray him.

Jonathan made the junior finals of last year Aussie Open so I'm thinking we'll get to see more of his striking beauty in the near future...or at least we can hope!

FASHION FIX: Serena's tide is rising, goes nautical with Nike


Serena Williams, who may be losing her marbles these days, looked focused in her 6-2, 6-1 demolition of compatriot Ashley Harkleroad in the first round of the French Open.

ReRe also looked classically cool in her Nike Doubles Tennis Dress. I'm loving the nautical feel of the chalk + dark obsidian color combo, the beautiful razor back with contrasting color block (below), and the skinny belt to tie it all together.


Sporty elegance as its best...
