Serena Williams finds calm at True Religion

After a disappointing French Open where she lost to eventual champion Svetlana Kuznetsova in the quarterfinals, Serena Williams was spotted showing off her curves and guns while shopping for some expensive denim.

Serena was at True Religion brand jeans store on Robertson Blvd. in Los Angeles, California earlier this week.

After shopping, she sped off in her cherry red Bentley.

Check out the last two photos. Serena can cause quite a stir when she's out shopping.

Coming back to tennis, hopefully Serena will come back stronger for Wimbledon, although I believe her sister Venus will perform better on grass court.

Swede Thomas Johansson retires

Former Australian Open champion Thomas Johansson is quitting professional tennis after more than 15 years on the ATP tour.

The 34-year-old Swede won nine singles titles and reached a top ranking of no. 7 in 2002.

However injuries forced him to take long breaks from the game in recent years.

“After a lot of thinking, I have now decided to step off the train and end my professional tennis career,” he said in a statement Friday.

“During the fall I had to go through yet another operation after a foot injury and a month ago I became a dad for the second time.”

Johansson said the biggest moments of his career were winning the 2002 Australian Open title and reaching the Wimbledon semifinals in 2005.

He was also part of Sweden’s Davis Cup-winning team in 1998 and won an Olympic silver medal in doubles in Beijing last year with Simon Aspelin.

Perhaps the recent success of his compatriot, Robin Soderling at this year's French Open convinced him that Sweden tennis has a new future.

Boris Becker weds Lilly Kerssenberg

It doesn't matter who wear the pants in the family...

Instead of fleeing the paparazzi, former tennis champ Boris Becker, 40, and his bride Dutch model Lilly Kerssenberg, 30, have made the right decision by inviting the media to their wedding ceremony in St. Moritz, Switzerland.

She's lovely in this white tuxedo suit.

Among the guests who attended the less-than-private wedding ceremony were Prince Albert of Monaco, supermodel Claudia Schiffer and former cyclist Jan Ulrich, as well as Becker's two sons, Noah and Elias.

The newlyweds announced their plans to wed on a German chat show earlier this month.

Becker's eldest son Noah, left, and Elias, right, wait for the bridal couple in front of the Segantini Museum.

The Beckers wave as they set off for their reception together.
