Good news out of Auckland earlier today. Martina scored a straight sets win over Monica, winning 6-4 6-4. The two were also involved in a hit-and-giggle mixed doubles match afterwards with Martina partnering Xavier Rush & Monica with Carlos Spencer - both New Zealand All Blacks rugby players. Not sure how that one turned out. For a nice article from 'The New Zealand Herald,' click here. There have also been a few articles the last couple of days on the TV One website: One, Two, Three. For photos, here're two by the Associated Press: Photo One, Photo Two. Getty Images and Fotopress also have many photos from last night's action, albeit watermarked. The ladies get today off before their second and final match in Christchurch on Thursday.
I never was a big fan of Sports Illustrated's L. Jon Wertheim, but of late, I must admit I have been enjoying his weekly online columns. His latest - a round-up of the just-concluded Australian Open - is no exception. I'm so glad Martina said what she did about the annoying Lleyton "C'mawwwwwn" Hewitt and would I have loved to have heard Martina try plug Desperate Housewives on Australian TV. Hehehe!
Meanwhile in India, Mahesh Bhupathi spoke to the press about Martina playing in Hyderabad next week - his father, Krishna, is the tournament director. In another article, Mahesh describes Martina as "the ultimate champion and ambassadress of the sport." Hmmm... has he been reading another website I know quite well ;-)
