Miscellany

Mathilde Johansson has created a website, as has Bethanie Mattek. Both sites are kind of campy, but in different ways.

Speaking of websites, who on Earth is the player in the illustration on the title bar of Dinara Safina's website? Sorry, but that is not in any way, shape or form, Dinara Safina.

I have removed Patty Schnyder's official site from my list of Good Reads. It has been down for so long, I have concluded that it no longer exists.

Colavita USA has renewed its sponsorship of Flavia Pennetta. This is a sponsorship I can really get into.

In a Family Circle Cup poll, 57 people said that Chris Evert is the greatest FCC champion of all time, and 137 said that Serena Williams is. Let's see...Evert won the cup eight times--more than any other player--and Williams won it once.

After a very lengthy layoff, Laura Granville is playing tennis again.

In a recent interview, Vera Zvonareva said the celebrity with whom she most like to have a beer is Kid Rock. She probably won't have to wait in line for that.

Heh, it's the WTA airbrushed version of Dinara Safina. Which is actually sort of appropriate, since the whole website is pretty clearly the WTA version of Dinara, run completely by them with zero input from her except when they force her to answer a Q&A.

But it doesn't even look like an airbrushed version--like that airbrushed photo of her on the site. It just looks ridiculous.

And you're right--it isn't about Dinara at all. Too bad.

oh mine! camp indeed. I thought Matek's over air brushed pic was a bit too drag queen-ish though.

I agree. It's really over the top, even for Bethanie. I kind of like what Mathilde did, however.
