No. 1 and defending champion Serena Williams, will return to Charleston for the 42nd Family Circle Cup, March 29 – April 6, 2014. . . Joachim Johansson might attempt to qualify for next week’s Stockholm Open. The former top 10 player hasn’t competed since 2011 but says that the event will be a one-off and he will not an attempt at a full-time comeback. . . Sara Errani became the first player to advance to the WTA Championships in both singles and doubles in back to back years since 2003. . . Elena Vesnina may choose to play the WTA ‘s Tournament of Champions in Sofia, Bulgaria, rather than Russia’s Fed Cup final against Italy, which is played the same week. . .
Moscow assistant tournament director Yevgeny Kafelinkov says that it would cost the tournament more than one million Euros in appearance fees to get either Rafael Nadal or Novak Djokovic to play the event. . . Rafael Nadal believes that Roger Federer will qualify for the year-end ATP Finals in London. “He’s going to go, he’s going to qualify. I am sure of that. He (Federer) is not going to have a problem. Even if he doesn’t have lots of points of advantage, I feel he always played well in this last part of the season.”
The end of the year finals is heating up and it hasn’t even started. These playoff tourneys are really exciting. Roger Federer’s position improved before he even played because Gasquet lost. Andy Murray pulled out. So roger moves up. As Rafa would say. Roger will be playing at the 02 Arena.
Big congrats to Ryan Sweeting on his engagement to “Big Bang” star and Hollywood hottie Kaley Cuoco. They are adorable together. Look like old Hollywood having fun at polo.
Big congrats to the team at Malibu racket club. Some great guardians of the game out there in those Malibu hills. (Larry Ellison is the godfather of Coachella valley tennis. ) this past Sunday Craig Cignarelli and Trey Walkte with the Tennis Channel taped a family game show around tennis. It was a great day. Super concept and its part of the “grips” program. Look for it to air on Tennis Channel around thanksgiving.
Sad to hear Xavier Malisse also known as the XMan decided to call it a career. We still hope he reconsiders and plays doubles or team tennis or something. To think of never seeing his flair and style again? Yikes. All we can say is thanks for the memories.
