ตรงนี้สำหรับแฟนคลับเจ้ากระต่ายน้อยค่ะ Stan and his honey
In other love matches, here are Stanislas Wawrinka and his television presenter girlfriend Ilham Vuilloud (via Blick). The couple has been together for four years. Random factoid: Stans honey is nearly ten years older than he is.
Rafael Nadal will share the Magic Box spotlight with some of the biggest names in tennis when he makes his long-awaited first appearance at the Mutua Madrileña Madrid Open on Wednesday.
And, as the tournament heads into its fifth day, Novak Djokovic, Juan Martin Del Potro and Andy Roddick all join Mallorca-born Nadal on centre stage.
World No.1 Rafa faces Austrias Jurgen Melzer, the man he beat in the quarterfinals of the Beijing Olympics, in his opening match. Not surprisingly, Melzer doesnt hold out great hopes of beating the Spanish hero on home soil.
He killed me at the Olympics last year so I would have to play the best match of my life and still hope that he has a bad day, said Melzer of his prospects against the man who has won three-consecutive clay court titles in the lead-up to Madrid.
He hasnt lost for a while on clay and the way he plays and the energy that he puts on the court, it feels like an avalanche is coming right at you. I would have to serve really well and put a lot of pressure on him and then we would see.
Serbias Djokovic takes on wildcard Oscar Hernandez in his first outing of the tournament. The No.3 seed beat his Spanish opponent 6-1 6-2 in their only previous meeting, at Monte Carlo earlier this year.
No.5 seeded Juan Martin Del Potro takes on world No.22 Tomas Berdych in the first encounter of his Madrid campaign. Berdych has not dropped a set to his more highly-ranked opponent in their two previous meetings, last year in Tokyo and at a challenger in the Czech Republic in 2006.
Andy Roddick joins the fray fresh from his honeymoon with wife Brooklyn Decker, facing tournament qualifier Tommy Haas in the second round.
German Haas, the world No.75, has beaten his American opponent on seven of their 11 previous meetings. Roddick has the edge over Haas this year, however, having won their San Jose quarterfinal 7-5 6-4.
As the men complete their first round matches the womens quarterfinal line-up will be finalized with Dinara Safina, Victoria Azarenka and Svetlana Kuznetsova all taking to the court for the first time.
World No.1 Safina plays No.28 Na Li who she beat en route to her Beijing Olympics silver medal in 2008. Interestingly Chinese woman Li has beaten the Russian on the only other two occasions the pair have faced one another, in the third round of Australian Open 2007 and on clay in Estoril in 2005.
Safinas fellow Rome finalist, No.6 seed Svetlana Kuznetsova, has beaten her second round opponent, Kateryna Bondarenko in all three of their previous meetings.
Similarly, No.7 seed Azarenka has never lost to her opening match opponent, Shuai Peng of China. The Belarusian is enjoying the best season of her career to date having reached the semifinal or better of five tournaments this season including Rome last week.
There was some significant movement within the Top 5 this week, as for the first time in almost six years Venus Williams is back in the Top 3, moving from No.5 to No.3 after a semifinal showing in Rome.
Williams had spent 175 career weeks inside the Top 3 previously, all of those coming in the 197-week span between August 30, 1999 and June 8, 2003. Of those 175 weeks among the game's three best players, she had 95 at No.3, 69 at No.2 and most notably 11 at No.1. Despite three Wimbledon titles in the time since then she has only returned to the world's Top 3 this week, her 176th non-consecutive week inside the top trio.
Other notable movers inside the Top 100 this week include Ekaterina Makarova, who moved up from No.43 to No.35 - her career Top 40 debut - after back-to-back Sony Ericsson WTA Tour singles runner-up finishes at Fès and Estoril; and Yanina Wickmayer, who won her first Tour title of any kind in Estoril and surged from No.88 to No.64, nearly bettering her previous career-high of No.62.
Switzerland to head to Italy for Davis Cup playoff
LONDON (AP)With or without Roger Federer, Switzerland must travel to Italy in September to try to keep its spot in the top tier of the Davis Cup.
Italy and Switzerland were drawn Tuesday to face each other in the World Group playoffs. Italy is the home team for the Sept. 18-20 best-of-five series.
With Federer missing due to a bad back, Switzerland lost 4-1 to the United States in the opening round in Birmingham, Ala., in March.
Italy beat Slovakia 4-1 in a Europe/Africa zonal group match to qualify for the World Group playoffs.
Federer, winner of 13 Grand Slam titles, hasnt announced yet whether he plans to play.
The eight playoff winners advance to the 2010 16-team World Group, while the losers go into the zonal groups for next year.
In other matchups, the Netherlands hosts France, Serbia is at home against Uzbekistan, Romania travels to Sweden, and India goes to South Africa. Also, its Chile vs. Austria, Belgium vs. Ukraine and Brazil vs. Ecuador.
แต่ในความเป็นจริง ยากมากที่แอนถึกจะได้แชมป์รายการนี้ อยากให้ FedEx เป็นมือ 2 ไปเรื่อยๆ เพื่อจะได้ไม่ต้องลุ้นไปเจอ Nadal ในรอบ Semi @ French open ก่อนเวลาอันควร
