It's been awhile...

It's been awhile since I update this tennis blog.

After a long break from tennis and a vacation, I think it's time for me to get back into what I do best, that is to blog about tennis.

Verdasco with Mikhail Youzhny and Tomas Berdych at the Kooyong Classic presser

I also confess that it is Fernando Verdasco's new mohawk (and sexy smile) that makes me want to start writing about tennis news and gossip again.

There's no better way to start this than to report about the Australian Open which will commence next week.

So watch this space...

Elena Dementieva retires from tennis

Elena Dementieva made a shocking announcement by announcing her retirement at the end of her match against Francesca Schiavone at the season-ending WTA Championships in Doha.

She delivered a touching speech that sent everyone in tears including Vera Zvonareva and Kim Clijsters.

All seven of the other players involved in the end-of-season event gathered on court to pay tribute to the beautiful Russian player.

Elena, you'll be greatly missed!

Maria Sharapova engaged to LA Lakers' Sasha Vujacic!

The most eligible bachelorette in tennis is off the market.

Maria Sharapova's agent has confirmed that the tennis star is now engaged to LA Lakers' guard Sasha Vujacic

Vujacic popped the question to Sharapova on Tuesday night at his Manhattan Beach, California home.

The couple who has been dating for nearly a year were first spotted last November cuddling at a U2 concert in Los Angeles.

Congrats to the lovely couple. Here are more photos of them.

Players' arrival photos in Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur

As a big tennis fan and tennis mamarazzi, nothing beats welcoming my favourite players at the airport with a bunch of flowers :D

Unlike last year, this time I only got to know Rendy Lu Yen-hsun's flight schedule. Rendy arrived together with his mom, brother and his team.

Meanwhile in Bangkok, the organiser sent me some arrival photos of their star players - Juan Martin Del Potro, Ernests Gulbis, Fernando Verdasco and Jurgen Melzer (in sequence).

Yay, Del Potro is back in tournament!
