WIMBLEDON: Genie Bouchard Goes from Tennis’ Next Big Thing to its Biggest Question Mark…Oh yeah, Petra Kvitova Wins, too
The theme of the match was Genie Bouchard, her emergence. That’s what the moment was about. Tennis has a new superstar, one who is young, fresh, and tough as nails with marketers already drooling over her good looks.
Come see her crowning.

Kvitova crushes Bouchard for second Wimbledon title
I admit it. I didn’t believe Petra Kvitova would win Wimbledon.Not because I didn’t think she had the goods. She's won the title before, but since then the sometimes fragile Czech has been the epitome of inconsistency. She came into Wimbledon having lost in the third round of Roland Garros and first round in Melbourne. Between the Slams, it wasn’t much different.Even after...

Tennis From The Goddesses
Look at the photo of Petra Kvitova.
Notice the background of shade, contrasting with the ribbon of golden light on the top of Kvitova’s head. That’s the kind of camera shot that can be found at Centre Court Wimbledon during the five o’clock hour on a sunny summer afternoon. During that particular part of a late-June or early-July day at the All-England Lawn Tennis and Croquet...

Gutty Venus reigns over Kvitova
Petra Kvitova might be the reigning Wimbledon champion, but that was unlikely to impress Venus Williams, who has won the fabled title on five occasions.
Striking the ball harder -- if that was possible -- and more accurately than her 22-year-old opponent, Venus had the Stadium Court crowd on its feet Friday night as she roared into the third round of the Sony Ericsson Open with...
