Jelena Jankovic has replaced Maria Sharapova in the draw for the Open GDF SUEZ in Paris.
Australia and New Zealand have gone to the final of the Fed Cup Asia/Oceania Zone World Group I playoff. Australia posted a 3-0 win over Taiwan, and New Zealand defeated Indonesia 2-1. The winner of the final will move to the World Group II playoff.
Tennis Channel has some very funny footage of 15-year-old Maria Sharapova in its feature, "Their Game Before Fame." However, the host comments that--if tennis doesn't work out for Maria--she can always become a "cameraman." Because in order to operate a camera, obviously, you have to be male.
Steve Tignor says of Dinara Safina: "She’s also developing an intriguing, if unfortunate, persona as a terminal second-fiddle: Younger sister to a star, French Open finalist, Olympic silver medalist, Aussie Open finalist. Her current ranking fits her to a T for the moment..."
Steffi Graf and her husband, Andre Agassi, have become investors and spokespeople for the London-based online ticket sales company, Viagogo Ltd.

oh, FLASHBACK! When I was 14 or so, I wrote to the BBC, asking for any information they could give me about being a camera operator.....signed with just my initial, and surname; and got a reply addressed to "Mr. etc".....
You see how much things have changed, Claire?...
...Oh, wait--I almost forgot: I'm a paleofeminist and am out of touch with everything (or so I was told by "hip" people during the last election).
hip, my arse(as the saying goes here)....which reminds me of a quote from "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy": about someone being so hip they should have two bums.....
Really.
In the U.S., we really cherry-pick whose civil rights matter. Guess whose don't?
I got myself tied in knots wordwise there a wee bit.....was meant to say I agree with you.... :)
