CarolineWozniacki has signed a deal with Babolat, who makes the racket she used for years before she started playing with a Yonex racket. Wozniacki said that she is looking for increased power as well as more control. For some time now, Wozniacki has been using a Babolat racket, but she had to black out the name because of her Yonex contract.

To those of you who enjoyed the late Robert B. Parker's Spenser detective series, here's a tip: Skip the Christmas novel, Silent Night, finished ("finished off" would be more like it) by Parker's long-time agent, Helen Brann. I've read only one of the Ace Atkins Spenser novels, and it was way more authentic than Silent Night. So why, do you ask, am I even bringing this up? Well, it turns out that both Kim Clijsters and Martina Navratilova appear as characters in the novel, and Clijsters is a speaking character, though her role is very small. More interesting is the retired WTA player whose serve is so deadly, she is able to throw a table knife and kill a man who is about to shoot her to death while they are seated at a formal dinner party. (This trick could also be useful when dining or drinking in German restaurants--just saying).
The WTA wants you to take a survey about its official site.

Hmmm, not sure I'm immediately taken by Sharapova's potential attire. Though, since it's the "rumored" look, I guess that may have just been the starting point for what she actually wears.
Martina... The Citizen's secret mentor?
I like the idea that she might do something a bit different. And whatever it is, I assume 'Pova can pull it off.
Yeah, and she won't wear something that she knows will make her look foolish.
Unlike how a certain someone did at last year's U.S. Open. ;)
