Marat just won't go away

He may be retired from tennis but Marat Safin is still around and lovin' the sport.

He was seen hanging out with Novak Djokovic earlier this week in Belgrade at the Serbian Open.

Safin was also spotted having some drinks with actor Gerard Butler during Djokovic's match against Fabio Fognini.

The stamp collector is in Madrid

Maria Sharapova is ready to get back in court for the the Madrid Masters next week.

I guess she has fully recovered from a bone bruise on her right elbow last month.

Got balls?

She's scheduled to play in another Grand Slam warm-up in Strasbourg before the French Open.

The dorkiest fan photo in 2010 thus far

Roger Federer fans are the most passionate people I've ever met in my life. I salute them!

But this guy has to be banned from the court and especially from taking picture with Federer!

This photo was taken yesterday after the match where Federer defeated Bjorn Phau 6-3, 6-4 at the Estoril Open, Portugal.

Quote of the day: Everybody’s entitled to a few bad days

"After a bad loss in Miami everybody was asking a lot of questions – What’s wrong? What’s going on off the court? Is there something wrong with your coaches? Hang on a second, I’ve just had the best start to the year I’ve ever had in Australia. Everybody’s entitled to a few bad days a year at the office. I feel I have improved since last year."

Unfortunately, tennis fans expect all year round great performance.

Andy Murray was at the presser during the AEGON Championship Announcement at Queens Club on Tuesday to confirm his participation.

He'll be defending his title at Queen's Club and warm up for his latest bid to win Wimbledon.
