Serena Williams Opens Madrid Title Defence with Win

Madrid WTA - Women's 2nd Round

1 Serena Williams d Lourdes Dominguez-Lino - 62 75

You know you can't handle Serena's recent Vibe bikini photo shot. Truth.

And I am not touching this whole Sloane Stephens thing.

Except to say there will be no rematch at Madrid.

Sloane couldn't get out of the 1st round.

But Serena did and is seeking a second straight title at Madrid.

And she needs to win or lose in the same round as Maria to remain #1.

It makes for a tantalizing final. And I hope it happens.

 

Maria Sharapova Esquire Swimsuit Spread

Maria is in Madrid this week as the 2nd seed behind Serena.

Maria is in a position to yank the #1 spot away from Serena.

All Maria needs to do is finish the tourny one round better than Serena.

That makes for a very tasty final. Make it happen ladies.

Today Anna announced plans to play an exhibition match in Bogota.

She said will attend the event with Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi.

If nothing else one thing is fo-sho, she is still quite the stunner...

The last ball Anna struck on tour was in Charlottesville in 2003.

She has stayed 'in' tennis with her participation in World Team Tennis.

She & Martina Hingis played the legends doubles at Wimbledon this year.

Not after last night. Zounds! What mounds!

Hubby Andy Roddick couldn't attend the event...

1 time there was some incidental contact,

but 99% of the time I kept the 2 feet cushion!

It's tough being a tennis wife - even for a famous swimsuit model.

Last year she watched Andy lose a heartbreaking final to Roger Federer.
