There are plans underway for the refurbishment or decommissioning of 123 Yarra Ranges Council controlled tennis courts in Australia. The plan is to spend $1.5 million over a 10-year period. . . Aga Radwanska says she has no regrets about posing mostly nude for ESPN the Magazine in an issue that celebrated athlete’s bodies. “I’m not embarrassed. If I was asked to do it again, I would,” she said. “Most of the people in Poland had no idea what the magazine was. They thought it was a men’s magazine. It’s a body issue. It’s about sport, injuries, practice.” Radwanska describes her father and occasional coach Robert, as “spontaneous, always saying everything he thinks,” . . . Lou Dobbs, 68, the host of Fox Business Network’s “Lou Dobbs Tonight, is still playing a fair amount of tennis. . . Simona Halep says her hero was Justine Henin. “I’d love to play against Justine ” she said. “We are a similar size and I liked her style because she was playing very aggressively and she moved very well around the court. I’ve tried to take a few things from her and apply them to my game.” , , , Daniela Hantuchova has hired the veteran Ricardo Sanchez as her new coach. . . Serena: ‘We changed tennis.’ Serena Williams talked about she and her older sister Venus’ effect on the sport. “We changed tennis,” Serena. “We brought passion and fashion wearing extravagant clothes. And also style, power as a new skin color as we are African-Americans. We improved tennis.”. . .

Rafael Nadal will not only play Miami in 2014, but also the new event in Rio De Janiero. He won’t play Vina Del Mar and has not decided yet whether he will compete in Buenos Aires and Acapulco.
