Thanks to reader Phillip who spotted Venus Williams in Dubai wielding a painted-over Prince racquet to look like Wilson during her match against Sabine Lisicki.
Could she be considering a switch?

VIDEO VAULT: La Monf shows Shrieka how it's REALLY done

Here's a new video by Prince featuring Gael Monfils discussing and pimping out his new EXO3 Rebel stick.
La Monf is seen doing his usual acrobatics around the court while seeming so genuine and natural (not to mention huggable) during the interview as he regurgitates the great benefits of his new racquet.
Are you listening Shrieka? It's possible to be GENUINE and NATURAL while doing your job - you may want to ring up the Frenchie for some lessons.
Just sayin'.

VIDEO VAULT: La Monf works his new Prince stick all over the court
Thanks to the team over at Prince for sending me the newest TV spot for their just launched EXO3 line of performance racquets starring the incredibly athletic Gael Monfils.
The commercial shows La Monf doing what he does best (and I don't mean his French kissing ways.) He takes to the court with his new stick and slides, glides, and cracks an impressive Sampras-style leaping overhead.
PS - This one's for Sara, you Frenchie lover you!

Prince officially launches EXO3 performance frames and website

Prince has officially launched the much-anticipated EXO3 line of performance frames here in the US, which they teased us with late last year.
The line's patented Energy Bridge and Energy Channel advanced technology provides the racquets with a larger sweet spot for more power, 25% increase in spin compared to traditional construction, dramatically reduced frame vibration by up to 50%, and increased control and stability on every shot. The EXO3 provides up to 26% more energy back into the ball.
Availability for the new sticks stateside includes:
- January 15, EXO3 Graphites and EXO3 Rebels
- February 15, EXO3 Silver and EXO3 Red

The racquet-maker also launched a new website for the line which includes product info, images, video, and a chat function which will allow you to speak with the team at Prince.
No word yet, however, on whether Jelena Jankovic will continue her partnership with them.

Diamonds are a girl's best friend - just ask Asia
Ladies, gentlemen, and those in between - please meet the stunning Asia Muhammad, a junior standout from Andre Agassi's Las Vegas Academy. Asia is making her pro debut at the US Open today. Congrats!
And what prize does a 17-year old get on the biggest day of her newborn professional tennis career? Why a pink Prince racquet adorned with her initial "A" made out of $1,750 worth of diamonds above her grip:
How fancy. But word to the wise: you're in the bright lights of New York - watch your back...and your racquet!
