Olympic Participation is Questionable

Nadal, gold medalist in singles when Olympic tennis was contested in
Beijing nearly four years ago, has stressed concerns he will not be

Lendl to Coach
Murray From Connecticut

to tennis disappointment. He simply heads been back to the golf course
and this week will attempt to qualify for the Connecticut Open.
Lendl will remain in the United States during the
upcoming Olympics but will use his television to keep an eye on Murray’s
progress – when golfing commitments allow. The pair will next link up

Open.
Wickmayer Has
Lost Service Speed
Belgium’s
Yanina Wickmayer feels her game is progressing after a rough stretch
last year when she battled a debilitating back injury. After reaching
the semifinals of the Back of the West Classic at Stanford she is
projected to get close to the top 30 in the rankings, still off her
career high of No. 12 in April of 2010, but good enough for her as she
was concerned she might drop through floor in the first half of the
season as she didn’t’ feel quite ready to come back.
