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.

A shout-out to Mathilde Johansson

She could have faded away after that first set against Serena Williams, but she came back fighting, showed a lot of spirit, and gave her countrywomen and -men something to be proud of. Not bad for a wild card.
