When tennis turns bloody: Mikhail Youzhny's racquet self-abuse

I hate seeing blood. When I first saw this video, it freaks me out.

Mikhail Youzhny gets too emotional by his poor play against Nicolas Almagro at the Miami tennis tournament, he smacked his head three times enough to draw blood running down his face.

Rafael Nadal and Serena Williams play tennis on water

Nevermind Rafael Nadal lost at Indiana Wells last week.

To kick off the Sony Ericsson Open tennis tournament in Miami, Rafael Nadal and Serena Williams played a spirited in water game of tennis in the 110-foot long, 43,000-gallon swimming pool at the Gansevoort South Hotel.

Balanced on acrylic, invisible platforms at either end of the Bisazza-glass tiled infinity edge pool for the players to stand, the water-covered court took seven days to build.

"This was a once in a lifetime chance to play tennis on water," says Serena Williams, the defending Sony Ericsson champ. "And it was a new challenge to play against Rafael. Especially since he volunteered to play at the deep end!"

Pacific Life Open: Issit Rafael Nadal or Novak Djokovic for the final?

Who is more fierce? Djokovic or Nadal?

Rafael Nadal have tough opponents at the Pacific Life Open but he managed to beat them all including Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and James Blake to be in the semifinal. I say, go Rafa and beat Novak Djokovic too!

The winner will have a chance to meet Roger Federer or Mardy Fish in the final.

I Need A Break From Blogging

I seriously need to stay away from blogging, at least for this month to really concentrate on my project paper.

While I'm away from my own blog, I will still be visiting your blogs. Wishing everyone a great weekend.
