Miscellany

Anna Chakvetadze's Tennis Channel "Bag Check" is hilarious.

I especially like Jelena Jankovic's Wimbledon dress.

Queen Elizabeth II visited Wimbledon today and chatted with Anne Keothavong about her injuries.

This blog is about women's tennis, but I don't think anyone will object if I step outside that realm for a moment and express total awe over what John Isner and Nicolas Mahut have given us at this Wimbledon. Congratulations to John! (And maybe some day, U.S. and British commentators and announcers will really "respect" Nicolas and stop mangling his name.)

You can learn a little about Alison Riske here. She decided against attending Vanderbilt University (and playing for its tennis team) two weeks before classes began.

Check out the second from the top link. (But with Tatiana Golovin not there, does anyone really care?)

Great win for John Inser! It was nice for eveyone to see the Queen today. But I have to say it was disrespectful of putting Serena Williams on court 2! The all England Club still holding on to their "BLUE BLOOD" ways
