Finally Mr and Mrs Stepanek

Radek Stepanek and Nicole Vaidisova have tied the knot in Prague, Czech Republic.

The 31-year-old Stepanek and Vaidisova, who is 21 were married on Saturday in St. Vitus Cathedral, the country's biggest and most well known church.

The 'real' wedding photo above kind of remind me of the photo below :D - sexy Stepanek used to be very popular among women's tennis players

Divorce: Of Rafael Nadal, Radek Stepanek and Nicole Vaidisova

Times Online reported on Tuesday that all was not fine with Rafael Nadal back home in Majorca.

For many weeks there have been whispers that matters were complicated in the Nadal household -- that his parents, Sebastian and Ana Maria had separated.

If the information holds true, Nadal could well have been playing under much stress in the past few months.

Did Radek Stepanek and Nicole Vaidisova divorce before they even got married?

News are spreading that Nicole Vaidisova has dumped Radek Stepanek some time after the French Open.

Vaidisova, who used to rank as high as no.7 back in 2007, is expected to drop to about no. 130 in the rankings. Perhaps it's time to get rid of that worm and get back into the game!

Top tennis players at the Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony

Finally the Beijing Olympics 2008 has begun!

While some tennis players have their personal views and issues (such as injury) that keep them from taking part in this world's biggest games, most of them including tennis star players join their compatriots for a historical moment at the Opening Ceremony, in the National Stadium or better known as the Bird's Nest.

Flag bearers including Roger Federer (Switzerland) and Fernando Gonzalez (Chile) certainly made tennis and their countries proud. Other tennis players spotted are Rafael Nadal (Spain), Novak Djokovic (Serbia), Andy Murray (UK), Ana Ivanovic (Serbia) and Lindsay Davenport (USA). There also a picture of Radek Stepanek (Czech Republic) taking picture of his tennis player girlfriend Nicole Vaidisova (Czech Republic). Their pictures are in sequence.

Lindsay Davenport, however, pulls out from the women's single draw due to knee injury. However she will still be playing doubles with partner Liezel Huber.

And by the way, Jelena Jankovic skips the Opening Ceremony cited injury she got during Friday's training session.

I missed the front part of the Opening Ceremony. Hope to catch the rerun of the event later.

He used to date and engaged to former world #1, Swiss tennis star Martina Hingis (now banned from tennis for 2 years due to cocaine offense).
