A sneak peek at the Williams sisters documentary

Via Down the Line!  |  March 29, 2013
Here's a sneak peek at the documentary about Venus and Serena Williams that they reportedly weren't too happy with. The sisters objected to the way father, Richard, ended up coming across in the film. Not exactly sure what that means, but I sure can't wait to find out. The Williams sisters have been notoriously private over the years, barely letting anyone outside...

Sharapova eyes first Sony Open title

Via Fox Sports  |  March 28, 2013
Benefiting from some dubious scheduling that did her opponent no favors, Maria Sharapova powered her way into the final of the Sony Open -- a tournament she has never won -- for the fifth time with a 6-2, 6-1 victory over Serbia's Jelena Jankovic.

Via With Leather  |  March 27, 2013
I have typed “Agnieszka Radwanska” like, ten times now. I hope that’s right. Agnieszka Radwanska.Anyway, if you don’t know Agnieszka Radwanska, you’ll be instantly impressed to find that she can beat you at tennis, even when she’s running away from the ball and swinging blindly behind her. That’s what happened in the second set of her quarterfinals match against Kirsten...

Most women like separates for the same reason that swimsuit pieces are sold individually; we girls come in all shapes and sizes and few of us have the A+ bod required to pull off a super fitted dress. Pictured is the...

Confident Sharapova moving on

Via Fox Sports  |  March 27, 2013
Battling her way out of three set points, Maria Sharapova needed to work overtime on a cool, windy day here at the Sony Open to reach the semifinal with a 7-5, 7-5 victory over the little seventh-seeded Italian Sara Errani.

By Kevin Ware (March 28, 2013) MIAMI – In spite of injuries, illness, upsets, and withdrawals by the dozens, my initial selections for the Women’s semifinals held (mostly) true to form with three out of four correct picks: Maria Sharapova, Serena Williams, and Agnieszka Radwanska.

KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. — The grunts were long and loud in the final game, as if Maria Sharapova was pushing a couch across nearby Crandon Beach.
