So it seems even when Carlos Moya + Flavia Pennetta were together on-court (like in this picture from the '06 Aussie Open) the sexy Spaniard had a wandering eye. No wonder why their 3-year relationship ended so harshly.
According to an interview with Chris Bowers for Tennisreporters.net Flavia, who defeated Katarina Srebotnik 7-5, 6-2 to reach the Zurich semifinals, made a surprise trip in 2007 to visit Carlos in Bastad where he was competing in the Swedish Open. But it was the Italian who was in for a surprise: she discovered the strapping Spaniard with another woman. Suffice it to say, Flavia kept the couple's shared digs in Verbier, Switzerland after the breakup.
Wow - who knew? It's good Flavia got to keep the pad at the very least and it's probably no coincidence she's having a late-career surge. Forget what I said about Potito Starace Flav.
And to Carlos: "woof woof" to you doggie.

A huge congrats to Roger Federer who passed Pete Sampras on the all-time list of prize money earners.
The Swiss maestro hit $43,317,870 million with his third round win over Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in Madrid, passing Pete's career mark of $43,280,489. If he grabs the Madrid title, his prize money earnings will reach $43.5 million.
Wow - good going Fed! Now, I'm not your financial adviser but just make sure you get this in euros or pounds. That dollar thing isn't going so well these days...just saying.

Nicole Vaidisova was spotted this week following boyfriend Radek "Ladies Love" Stepanek to Madrid where the Czech baller lost to Roger Federer in yesterday's second round.
So late last year there were many rumors the pair had filed a marriage application in Florida where the two keep residence. Now whether or not they actually did has been speculated but the ring Nicole is sporting here surely looks like an engagement ring to me (and a nice chunky one too.)
What says you? Do tell!

In Madrid, Novak Djokovic confirmed the recent news that his family - more specifically papa Srdjan, uncle Goran, and Nole - are in the process of purchasing the Dutch Open in Amersfoort, where a then 19-year old Nole won his maiden ATP title, and moving it to Serbia.
After his second round win over an injured Victor Hanescu (he retired in the third set), the world no. 3 told the press,
We have bought the licence from them and to have the tournament in Serbia next year is our big goal. We have some administrative work to do in the next few weeks, but we would like to have the tournament in May from next year.Apparently the tourney lost their title sponsor Krijco, a casino chain, and had been desperately looking for a replacement. In the meantime, the ATP has agreed to the deal in principle and will ratify when it's completed.
Serena Williams finally updated her blog, writing during her recent Hawaii surfing "rehab" with boyfriend Common. Warning: ReRe's (lack of) writing skills may shocking - proceed with caution.
