Welcome to the Latest News blog!

A big welcome to all Martina fans! And Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates it! Thank you for visiting the Latest News blog, your new source for all the latest on the Queen herself. After 5 years of the same latest news format on "Game, Set & Match, Martina", I thought it was time for something new perhaps and hopefully you will enjoy this new format a lot better. I'm still not exactly sure how the whole thing is going to work so it is going to be a continuous learning experience for me.

Back to Martina, make sure you check out her latest message on the message board in the "Happy Holidays" thread. I'm not sure if she is already in Australia or not. We're a week away from her first event of the new season - the Uncle Toby's Hardcourts in Gold Coast, Australia. Martina's regular doubles partner for 2005 is going to be Daniela Hantuchova of Slovakia but as Daniela is representing her country at the Hopman Cup in Perth that same week, Martina will instead be partnered by Nathalie Dechy of France in Gold Coast.

As far as her 2005 schedule goes, so far this is what we have confirmed. Gold Coast doubles with Dechy. Sydney the following week with Daniela. Next the Australian Open in Melbourne - doubles with Daniela & the mixed with Leander. Martina will also be doing TV commentary for Australia's Channel 7 that fortnight. And then 2 singles exhibition matches in New Zealand (Auckland & Christchurch) against Monica Seles in February.
