Sometimes a live body is enough.
That was what Poland found when it took on Italy. Italy should have been in great shape, because they had two players and Poland, with Grzegorz Panfil playing alongside Agnieszka Radwanska, really had only one.
World No.15 Sabine Lisicki says that despite her success, it will be very difficult for her to live up to the standards set by fellow German and 22-time Grand Slam titlist Steffi Graf. Lisicki did well to reach the 2013 Wimbledon final, but Graf won that tournament on seven occasions.
While WTA business in Asia is booming, it isn’t in some of the traditional Western countries.
Tennis Australia has had to throw a lifeline to struggling national No. 1 Bernard Tomic, with his current 52nd ranking
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.
For the first time in the history of the Hyundai Hopman Cup every session will be broadcast live and free-to-air nationally (including in Perth) in high definition on the event’s new home at 7mate, with the option of marquee matches to be televised live on the main channel.
Sabine Lisicki has signed a second deal since reaching the final at Wimbledon when she signed with the car insurance company AdmiralDirekt.de.
A strange match -- and not just because it featured #1 versus #2 in the semifinal. Simona Halep started reasonably well in the first set, collapsed, took charge in the second, went down a break in the third, then took charge again.
What can we say except, "Another bad day at the office for Petra Kvitova"? These were the matches she was winning two years ago....
Victoria Azarenka's physical problems apparently were real. This was a contest for a semifinal spot, and it was really not very interesting -- Li Na said later that she thought Azarenka (who hurt her back in the first set, but who was already in trouble) would retire from the match.
Sport is becoming more and more saturated by statistics and the new sponsorship deal, or global relationship, between the WTA and SAP only serves to enhance the move forward.
World No. 4 Agnieszka Radwanska, who was knocked out of the WTA Championship after going 0-3 in her round robin group, says the indoor courts at Istanbul were too slow for her liking and she didn't have enough time off prior to the tournament.
Jelena Jankovic is 1-1, which means she is tied in matches with Victoria Azarenka (although she has a better record in sets). The remaining White Group matchs are Li versus Azarenka and Jankovic versus Errani.
Hardly a surprise, but it leaves Serena 2-0, meaning she is all but sure to make the semifinal. Agnieszka Radwanska is 0-2, which means she still hasn't overtaken Maria Sharapova in the contest for #3; she needs a win to take the #3 spot.
Serena Williams quickly established superiority at the final event of the season as the top seed and world No. 1 beat German eighth seed Angelique Kerber 6-3, 6-1.
