Tennis off season? Tennis doesn’t have an off season. The only thing off about tennis is that the ticket prices are too high. Tennis doesn’t have an off season, it has a stealthy season. Partner changes. Coach changes. It has an exo season the matches on Richard Branson’s Necker Island event, the Bryan Bothers, James Blake’s, Justin Gimelstobs in NJ, Chris Everts, the Bahamas and Mark Knowles event. Rafa playing Novak in Argentina spent a week there.

 

The match last night between the tennis beauties was played in Bogota Colombia. Maria Sharapova ( Sugarpova ) lost to the equally beautiful goddess of Ana Ivanovic. The altitude was 2,600 meters , not an easy adjustment for Maria who came in via Florida. ( sea level ). Ana took the first set 6-1, Maria won the second set 6-1; see what I’m saying about the altitude. For a third set they played a super tiebreaker and Ana won that 12-10, really fun and exciting. They played in the Coliseo el Campin. The warm up match was the much loved retired Fernando Gonzales played Giraldo.

This Wednesday in Belgium we have an exciting exo scheduled. It’s the official return of The X MAN , Xavier Malisse is playing with Kim Cljsters against Flipkens and Henri Leconte then “flip” Flipkens plays the goddess Ana Ivanovic. It will take place in Antwerp in the Sportspaleis it’s the largest indoor concert hall in the country. It seats 12 thousand. The event is called Kim’s Invitation Games. 10sballs was recently in Belgium and toured the Kim Cljsters Tennis Facilty. A Very impressive club .
