Andy Murray has floated the name of Queens tournament director Chris Kermode as a candidate to lead the LTA. He knows the business and loves the game…probably won’t get a look, Murray tweeted. . . The outspoken Marion Bartoli has pulled out of Birmingham but has also joined Twitter for the first time. . . No. 2 Maria Sharapova thought she came fairly close to turning the tables against Serena Williams in Paris. The Russian suffered a 6-4, 6-4 defeat to the American, her 13th straight loss to the 16-time Grand Slam champion. ‘You lost and you can be really down about it, Sharapova said. “And because I’m a competitor and I’m a fighter and I don’t train to lose. Nobody does. So of course I’m disappointed about that. But that’s the feeling that ultimately will make you work harder and make you think a little bit. Gives you more determination. I will take a few little positives from this match.” . . . Wimbledon wild cards will be announced today. . . Jimmy Connors’ memoir, The Outsider, has slipped from 11 to 14 on the New York Times Best Selling Books List. . . Maria Sharapova says that Serena serves harder than David Ferrer. She added that she understands why Serena is confident to go for big serves during crucial moments. I think if I was built like Serena I hope I’d

be able to hit a big serve like that, too.
