Maria Sharapova in the December issue of GQ Spain

Sexy Maria Sharapova is featured in the December issue of GQ Spain.



By the way, for those who have attended the exhibition match in Kuala Lumpur earlier this week, I'm sure all know that Maria Sharapova will be making her way to Malaysia in November 2009 for an exhibition match.

Not sure who will be joining Ms Sharapova, but from the list of tennis stars under IMG label, I hope it's Nicole Vaidisova or Venus Williams. I don't mind Monica Seles either.

Rafael Nadal's rehab in Mauritius

It's off season break for Rafael Nadal but it seems that he's not really taking things slow.

Instead of resting and recuperating from his knee injury, Nadal was seen participating in a resort's array of activities during his holiday with girlfriend Xisca in Mauritius.

Nadal flexed his muscles while riding a 'doughnut', snorkeling, swimming and running along the beach, showing no sign of the injury which prevented him from playing in the Davis Cup in Argentina.

His fellow Spaniard team mates will be playing against the Argentines tonight in a final match.

Sometimes I wonder if he's really into Ana Ivanovic

At this point, whether you like it or not, many tennis fans have accepted the romance between Fernando Verdasco and Ana Ivanovic.

But does Nando really in love with Ana? To be specific, is Ana his type???

Macau Tennis Showdown: Roger Federer wraps up Asian exhibition with another win

Roger Federer wraps up his 2008 season in Macau last night as he, James Blake, Bjorn Borg and John McEnroe conclude this week's lucrative pair of Asian paydays.

Personally I don't care about the results as these are only exhibition tours.

Nevertheless, here are the final scores:

Kuala Lumpur
Borg vs McENROE 6-7 (11-13)
FEDERER vs Blake 7-6 (10-7)
TEAM AMERICA (McEnroe & Blake) vs Team Europe (Borg & Federer) 7-5

Macau
BORG vs McEnroe 7-6
FEDERER vs Blake 6-4, 6-4
Team America (McEnroe & Blake) vs Team Europe (Borg & Federer) (No results provided)

Here are some photos before and during the exhibition match as well as post match press conference photos in Kuala Lumpur earlier this week.
