Williams About to Set an American Olympic Record

Venus Williams is about to become the first tennis player from the United States to feature in four Olympic Games but despite being 32 years old and coping with the problems of competing with the effects of the auto-immune disease Sjogrens Syndrome, the three times gold medalist is already making plans for a fifth Olympiad four years from now in Rio de Janeiro.

Bartoli Will be TV Watching the Olympics, Not Playing

French Olympic exile Marion Bartoli will be watching the London Games with no small emotion after playing for two weeks on North American hardcourts. The former Wimbledon finalist finished her run with a quarter-final in Stanford and a final at the weekend in Carlsbad.

After losing 6-1, 7-5 to Dominika Cibulkova in the La Costa title match, Bartoli expressed both the frustration and the good side of missing the Games which start at the weekend on the grass of Wimbledon.

Cibulkova Celebrates a Win in an Exclusive Way

Dominika Cibulkova rode a water slide fully-clothed shortly after winning the second title of her career, a 6-1, 7-5 defeat of top seed Marion Bartoli to win the WTA Carlsbad tournament. The Slovak champion had no time to celebrate though, with her flight booked back home in order to fulfill a sponsor commitment.
