This past weekend Michaella Krajicek , Misa to her family & friends said yes to the marriage proposal done on court by her sweet and handsome beau of this past year. Martin Emmrich from Germany is the lucky guy. He currently holds the world ATP dubs ranking of 50. We spent time with the lovebirds in March and knew this was a love match. But a proposal on court after the match had Misa blushing and hiding in her towel. Yes , he actually went onto one knee and asked her to marry him. He had the ring. He got the yes. He got a kiss. It was great. Way to go Martin.

Italians scored a pair of wins with Camila Giorgi spoiling the return from injury of fourth seed Victoria Azarenka 4-6, 6-3, 7-5. Sixth seed Flavia Pennetta had an easy time as she reached the second round at the final pre-Wimbledon tune-up event, beating Taiwan’s Hsieh Su-Wei, 6-3, 6-3.

Azarneka, who has not played since early March due to a foot injury, fought for two and three-quarter hours and emerged pleased with how she felt – loss aside. “I didn’t expect an easy walk through, that would be silly I’m pretty pleased with what happened. Obviously the result is a result.”
