(UPDATED) QUOTE OF THE DAY: Ana Ivanovic

Anyway, I think for guys it's much worse watching women's tennis than us watching men's…

- Ana Ivanovic when asked about compatriot Novak Djokovic watching her defeat Kimiko Date-Krumm 6-4, 6-2 in the second round at Indian Wells

Clearly the truth doesn't hurt NaturAna.

UPDATE: Nole's looking for a little payback, literally (via FB) - "Did my coaching well last night :-) Bravo Ana,you played well. Nothing is for free though. Getting my 75% of her prize money :-)"

Uh, should I be surprised he's a serial smiley face abuser? Strike one AND two.

PHOTO OP: Dripping wet Djokovic

"I hope no one notices me."

I know I'm a little late on this one (thanks work - I really do love you, though) but who the hell cares? It's a wet, shirtless Novak Djokovic in Malibu.

Do you think he knew there were cameras around?

Wimbledon wants to rub baller parts in your face

Would you like your tennis in 3-D?

The All England Club officials announced the tourney will be showcasing the men's semifinals and the men's and ladies' semifinal and final matches live in 3-D capable theaters around the world as part of a multiyear partnership with Sony.

Nice. We'll be getting protruding and sweaty baller parts rubbed right up in our faces. Good GAWD - that could be completely drool inducing or downright scary.

Can't wait!

(UPDATED) VIDEO VAULT: Steamy Spanish sex vs. sleek Swiss style - who wins?

Rafael Nadal and his infamous ass-ets pose in their Emporio Armani undies and jeans in this teaser for their upcoming commercial campaign while Roger Federer and his lovely locks pose for the renowned lens of Mario Testino during a photoshoot for sponsor Credit Suisse. 



It's not really fair to compare the two ballers and their videos. I mean, one makes you want to chomp down on some meaty chorizo while the other makes you want to open a Swiss bank account.

Case closed - at least for me.

UPDATE: Full-length Rafa here (thanks Brandy!)

QUOTE OF THE DAY: Serena Williams

This has been extremely hard, scary, and disappointing. I am doing better. I’m at home now and working with my doctors to keep everything under control.

- Serena Williams after suffering from a hematoma caused by a pulmonary embolism that was discovered last week

Be well, ReRe.

(UPDATED) PHOTO OP: Nadal's happy place

Someone looks excited to be back.

 UPDATE: Looks like Rafa tickled someone else's happy place today (check the DtL Peanut Gallery for a brief explanation if you need it. Thanks Nexty!)

SIGHTING: A double dose of Serena Williams on Oscar night - which one was better?

Serena Williams is never one to miss a Hollywood party, especially in celebration of the Oscars. The 13-time Grand Slammer was spotted watching The King's Speech win Best Picture at the 19th Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party last night in this gorge fringe tiered strapless A-line dress. I love that she kept the accessories to a minimum and let this beautiful dress speak for itself.

Afterward, ReRe decided to go old-Hollywood for the 201l Vanity Fair Oscar Party hosted by Graydon Carter and changed out of that black beauty into another strapless gown, this time in pink with a sweetheart neckline and gold accessories. But what's up with the black nail polish (I wonder if it's from Glam Slam, her collab with OPI?) I'm not loving the combo at all. Perhaps I'm asking a little too much of ReRe to have pulled up her pantyhose on a full wardrobe change while also slapping on a complementary nail color (more like someone slapping it on her.) Perhaps.

I guess if I had to choose between the two versions of ReRe, though, I would pick the first one - it all worked very well together while the silhouette showed off her figure nicely. As for the stick straight locks with the blunt bangs? SO OVER.

Juan Martin del Potro wears winning well

Juan Martin del Potro won his first title since snatching his maiden major at the 2009 US Open when he defeated Janko Tipsarevic 6-4, 6-4 at Delray Beach. He officially re-entered the Top 100 this morning, putting those lanky legs to good work and lunging 77 spots to land at No. 89.

Welcome back, ya big lug.

PHOTO OP: The win of shame

"What the HELL did I do?"

Novak Djokovic had a look of utter disbelief about something after his comprehensive 6-3, 6-3 defeat of Roger Federer in the Dubai final today. But what could it have been about?

a) Capturing his third consecutive title in Dubai

b) Defeating Fed for the second straight time, raising his H2H record against the Swiss to 8-13

c) Remaining undefeated in 12 matches this season

d) Remembering all that dirty dolphin action

e) All the above, espesh 'd'

I'm thinking 'd' for dirty dolphin.

That poor, but very lucky, thing never stood a chance. Damn you, Nole. Damn you.

*raises fists to the sky*
