I understand the wolverine-ish look was really hip a few months ago.

James Blake is back to his clean-shaven self again for the Wimbledon!

Win a tennis ball signed by Andy Murray!

To mark the start of Wimbledon, we have teamed up with new charity Malaria No More UK to give away a tennis ball signed by top British tennis star Andy Murray!

Murray is a big supporter of Malaria No More UK, a groundbreaking new charity committed to ending suffering and death caused by malaria. Despite being a wholly preventable and treatable disease malaria still claims close to one million lives every year. Malaria No More UK is committed to ending this and you can be a part of it. A £5 donation will buy and deliver a life saving mosquito net to protect a mother and her child in Africa. To find out more about malaria, Andy's support and to donate please visit www.malarianomore.org.uk.

To win our special ball, signed by Murray, please answer the following question.

Question: Besides Andy Murray, name another sportsman who is also a member of the leadership council of Malaria No More UK.

What did The Sunday Times have done to the Russian girls?!

Dinara 'Tennis Goddess' Safina at work.

Safina can't win the Wimbledon Grand Slam with those stilettos...

I think Vera Zvonavera's ankle is not fully healed.

Adidas Stella McCartney has killed Maria Kirilenko. So did the photographer.

Svetlana Kuznetsova, Nadia Petrova and Anna Chakvetadze are also featured in this special edition of Spectrum, The Sunday Times newspaper.

I have the feelings that those pictures won't be any better than these.

I'll post them here if I can find them.
