Rusedski to play Davis Cup
(Preview)
Does anybody know anything about his schedule? Why hasn't he played any tournament so far? He would get some WC without a doubt. He should play some matches if he wants play for GB.

ATP introduces green clay event
(Preview)
The ATP Houston event this year will be held on green clay, first ATP event to be held on the surface. It's to cut costs. Green clay is made from crushed stone and is a tiny bit faster than the red stuff and has a more uniform bounce.

Just as the use of ultra-skinny 'size zero' models have been the talking point of London Fashion Week, there are also concerns within women's tennis about body image. Zina Garrison, a former Wimbledon finalist and a "recovering bulimic", suggested last night that the obs...

I see the American young hope, Donald Young, has just been double bagelled in Miami by Carlos Berlocq of Argentina.
That'll be 9 WCs to ATP events and still to win a set.
He's 16 and only played 3 Challenger events in addition to the 9 ATP ( includes US Open and 4 Masters Series events ) so...

Aussie Open mens semis

So another incredible performance from Federer, dispatching Roddick 6-4, 6-0, 6-2. After their previous 3 matches in the USO final, Masters cup and Kooyong I thought it would be really close, maybe even a 5 set classic especially given how Roddick won in Kooyong on exactly the same surface. Howeve...
