ITF to Honor
Sanchez Vicario
Spanish
tennis star Arantxa Sanchez Vicario will be presented with the ITF’s
highest accolade, the Philippe Chatrier Award, at the 2012 ITF World
Champions Dinner on Tuesday 5 June in Paris at the Pavillon
d’Armenonville.
Wozniacki Wants Hawk-Eye at Paris
Former
world no.1 Caroline Wozniacki added her indignant voice to the growing
number of demands for ‘Hawk Eye’ line calling technology to be employed
on the clay courts of the French Open.
Since computerized systems have become a fixture at the
other three Grand Slam events, the French Tennis Federation have stuck
with tradition and insisted umpires can cite marks on the clay when
arbitration is required over a contentious line-call.
Federer Begins Second Week in Paris Very Calm
It's
business as usual for Roger Federer as the Swiss begins the second week
of the French Open with the 2009 champion feeling fit for another trophy
run at Roland Garros.
"I'm very happy that I went through the first four
rounds, because I may have thought that I was playing too different a
game compared with my opponents, starting from the second round," said
Federer. "Physically I feel well. I'm not tired. I don't have any
source of pain anywhere, so that's very positive."
Azarenka May End Arrangement With Coach Mauresmo
Victoria
Azarenka’s early French Open exit may have brought an early end to her
use of Amelie Mauresmo as coach and advisor.
“We haven't really decided anything yet,” said Azarenka
when questioned on the future of her relationship with Mauresmo. Clearly
the matter is on the agenda when the player assesses her fourth round
demise with Sumyk and Meilen Tu, agent with Lagardere Unlimited. “I
haven't even talked to them. We'll see.”
Haas Leaves Roland Garros a Satisfied Man
Tommy
Haas leaves Roland Garros well satisfied with his comeback to tennis
after reaching the third round of the French Open. The 34-year-old
LA-based German, a qualifier in Paris who stood second in the world a
decade ago, wasn't able to get past Richard Gasquet, losing in four
sets.
Sharapova Still Avoiding Twitter
Maria
Sharapova may be a worldwide sport, fashion and marketing icon - but
that doesn't mean the WTA number two is prepared to reveal every detail
of her life on Twitter.
"I think it's too much for me. I mean, I'm bored with
myself on a daily basis," said the three-time Grand Slam winner. "I
think if I'm bored, like eating a bowl of pasta, I don't need to let the
world know that I'm at this restaurant eating a bowl of pasta."
