India Has a Problem Over Olympic Men’s Doubles Teaming
A
long-simmering Indian doubles feud looks set to spill over into the
London Olympics, with Leander Paes seeming a pariah to a pair of his
fellow ATP colleagues.
Tennis
officials have blasted Rohan Bopanna and Mahesh Bhupathi for refusing to
team with No. 7 Paes in doubles. The problem is as much player politics
as anything else, with Bhupathi and Bopanna now a team on the ATP.
Kvitova
Thanks Navratilova for Advice That Helped Her Win Wimbledon
Czech
star Petra Kvitova says it was advice from her role model (tennis legend
Martina Navratilova) that helped her to win Wimbledon last year.
When
asked what Navratilova had said to her, Kvitova just smiled and said:
“It’s a secret. I’m not going to tell anyone.”
Sock

Up
and coming young American Jack Sock has received a wild card and will
make his Newport debut at the Hall of Fame Tennis Championships to be
held July 9-15.
Other
players committed to compete include defending champion John Isner, The
Bryan Brothers, Milos Raonic, Kei Nishikori, Sam Querrey, Lleyton
Hewitt, Donald Young, and Nicolas Mahut.
