Note to Flavia Pennetta: Enjoy your foie gras now--the EU, thank goodness, has finally banned the extraordinarily cruel practice of foie gras production, in spite of France's objections.
Thanks to Zoo Tennis for this story about Penn State tennis coach Dawna Prevette, who appears to be not only abusive, but also unhinged. It puzzles me that she has retained her position; on the other hand, that sort of thing is quite common.
The grand opening of La Caja Magica--home of the new Mutua Madrileña Madrid Open--took place on Thursday. The official opening will occur on May 8.
Sony Ericsson has agreed to extend its sponsorship of the Miami tournament through 2011--the current contract expires after 2010. The struggling company's sponsorship of the WTA extends through next year, and contract renewal talks begin later this year. "We will certainly be requesting more for the same amount of money," a Sony Ericsson spokesman said.

As the boyfriend of one of the players, and having attended every home match of the Penn State Women's Tennis team for the past two years I can confirm that the accusations against Coach Prevette are 100% true and that the Collegian only scratched the surface of the disturbing problems and allegations regarding Dawna. She is a vindictive and neurotic coach on a power trip, and she needs to be dismissed from the university and banned from coaching again period so that nobody else has to suffer under the mental abuse that she brings about. If you would like to know more about the story email me at psutennisstory@gmail.com and I will seek to clarify anything I can that isn't classified due to the NCAA investigation or possible pending lawsuit.
