Serena Williams unveiled her Signature Statement exclusive fashion and accessories collection for Home Shopping Network (HSN) yesterday.
And it was actually done during the pre-tourney press conference at Tennis Center at Crandon Park, Miami.
Blame the credit crunch!
Serena said, “I always want to make a statement, both on and off the court."
"One of my dreams has always been to share gorgeous gifts of fashion and luxury with the world. Off the court, my passion is fashion."
"Signature Statement is my own line of accessories and fashion, complete from jewelry to dresses.”
By collaborating with HSN, Serena joins the likes of Iman and Paula Abdul, who have also developed their own line of accessories.
And like Iman and Paula Abdul, Serena is totally involved in designing the collection. The collection will be officially launched at HSN on April 30th, 2009. (Via celebrityclothingline.com, Images by Al Bello/Getty Images North America)
Kei Nishikori paid a visit to Baptist Children's Hospital in Miami yesterday.
However the Japanese tennis star is not playing at the Sony Ericsson Open due to an elbow injury.
According to nikkansports.com, Kei saw an elbow specialist in New York after losing in Indian Wells. At the doctor's recommendation, he decided to take at least weeks off to focus on rest and rehabilitation.
Now bad news aside, Kei's appearance in Miami could mean something good.
He is one of the five candidates for the ATP Newcomer of the Year Award alongside Jeremy Chardy, Marcel Granollers, Philipp Petzschner and Eduardo Schwank.
The winner will be announced today. Kei has a good chance of grabbing this award!
Updates: As predicted, Kei has won the ATP Newcomer of the Year Award. Congrats!

According to Butch Buchholz, chairman of the Sony Ericsson Open (note: read the linked article), what impresses him most about Rafael Nadal is how deceptive the world no.1 is. I agree! Nadal might look like a slob and out of place here but I hope you won't be surprised if he comes out on top in this tourney.
Maria Sharapova is trying to revive MC Hammer pants fashion trend again. I'm not joking because harem pants are really making a comeback this spring. I hope Sharapova too.
We've seen this dress a thousand times. Next!
Love that dress and love that new hairdo even more! But Venus Williams still lack of fabulosity.
If only Nadal dressed like James Bond minus the bow tie. I mean James Blake.
