Angelique Kerber gets tattoo advice from Janko Tipsarevic

German Angelique Kerber who won her first round match against Zhang Shuai at the French Open posted a cute picture of her and Janko Tipsarevic on Twitter.

I don't really think it's a good idea to get tattoo advice from Tipsarevic. Maybe she should try asking Agnieszka Radwanska or Li Na.

Fernando Verdasco: Impossible is nothing

I'm a Nike person never an Adidas.

And I'm not observant either. But my eyes were pretty quick when it comes to Fernando Verdasco when I saw this advertising display in front of an Adidas shop in Pavilion, KL yesterday.

Speaking of the Australian Open, Verdasco made quite an impression after saving match points in a dramatic come-from-behind victory on Wednesday.

Verdasco rallied from a two-set deficit and saved three match points in the fourth set against Janko Tipsarevic, to eventually claim the match 2-6, 4-6, 6-4, 7-6 (7-0), 6-0.

He's scheduled to play Kei Nishikori today, who defeated Florian Mayer 6-4, 6-3, 0-6, 6-3 in the second round.

Janko Tipsarevic to meet tournament owner Novak Djokovic

Novak Djokovic, whose family helped bring Serbia Open to Belgrade this year after buying the license to the ABN Amro Open, will play against his fellow countryman Janko Tipsarevic in the second round.

Tipsarevic beat Sergio Roitman 7-5, 6-2 in a delayed match due to the rain.

He will set up a meeting with home favourite and top seed Djokovic, who had a first-round bye, in the country’s first ATP Tour tournament.

Tipsarevic said he doesn't like to play against a friend and hoped for equal support from the homecrowd.

Leryn Franco a treat for Brisbane tennis fans?

BRISBANE tennis fans may glimpse Novak Djokovic's glamour girlfriend Leryn Franco when the Serb takes to the court at the Brisbane International.

"A lot of these guys do travel with their girlfriends through to the Australian Open, so I guess there is every chance she could be here," said the tournament's director, Steve Ayles. "But I couldn't say for sure."

I can't believe this 'cheap' claims comes from the Brisbane tournament director. I mean Djokovic himself already denied the rumour at the recent U.S Open.

Another event's big drawcard, Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga will be attending the Brisbane International too.

Ayles also confirmed that Tsonga, is desperate to check out Queensland's deep-sea fishing.

"He does love to fish so we're trying to organise a trip for him."

In the meanwhile here are some latest pictures of Djokovic at a welcoming evening at Bratislava, before the start of the Davis Cup match between Serbia and Slovakia. He was seen dancing with Slovakian singer Sisa Sklovska.

Updated: And here are more photos of Djokovic and his Serbian teammates and the Slovakian team.
