Kei Nishikori wins Mark Knowles Celebrity Invitational in Bahamas

Kei Nishikori is back from his knee injury with a win at the Mark Knowles Celebrity Invitational in Bahamas.

He participated along with other pros such as Mark Knowles (of course), Alex Kuznetsov, Xavier Malisse, Hugo Armando, Ryan Sweeting, Don Johnson, Sabine Lisicki, and Michaela Krajicek.

Kei won the Celebrity Pro-Am last weekend by playing against amateur and local Bahamian businessman Jeff Everett.

The event raised over $100,000 for three children’s charities.

Knowles who was born in Nassau launched the first Mark Knowles Celebrity Tennis Invitational in Paradise Island in order to support different Bahamian charities. Andre Agassi and James Blake are among the high profile tennis players who have hit the courts in the past.

Ana Ivanovic & Vera Zvonareva pose on nothing but the couch

Can't they find other places to pose other than the couch? Personally I prefer seeing the players photo shooting outdoor.

Here are more photos of Ana Ivanovic on Sportet & Style L'equipe.


On the other hand, Vera Zvonareva is featured on the PRO Sports Magazine, a Russian magazine. Check out her pretty blue eyes.

What do Anando & Kei-Ai have in common?

Both hot and young couples were caught hugging and kissing on camera (finally!) :D

Ana Ivanovic were seen picking up boyfriend Fernando Verdasco at the airport in Mallorca at night.

I guess they must be heading to Ana's 4.5 million euros villa after that?

Last month, Kei Nishikori and table tennis princess Ai Fukuhara were spotted hugging and kissing in Tokyo. Here's the kissing photo (small inset photo) which was not posted in my previous post.

Back to Ana and Nando, they were spotted training together many times. Hopefully they motivate each other to practice hard and play better in year 2009.

Last weekend Ana went to Ferrol to support Nando at the Master Nacional-Copa del Rey exhibition. However, he didn't make good use of those practice with Ana and lost to Robredo 1-6, 7-5, 6-4.

Fernando Verdasco shares his happiness with Sesame Street's Elmo & Zoe

Fernando Verdasco must be one of the happiest chap on earth right now.

With his success on court and off court recently, even the management at the Port Aventura Park in Salou, Spain knows Nando is the right person to help help them promote the theme park.

I'll be back this weekend for more updates. There have been lack of posts recently due to some personal issues which I have to settle first.

Have a great weekend!
