This and that...

A couple of miscellaneous links collected over the past month...

Mike Bryan talked about playing mixed doubles with Martina at Wimbledon in this article in the Ventura County Star, which also features comments by his mother, Kathy Blake-Bryan, who played on the tour with Martina in the 70s.

How significant was Billie Jean King's "Battle of the Sexes" victory over Bobby Riggs back in 1973? Martina offers her opinion in this interesting piece from the Hartford Courant.

A really nice interview with Martina - including a too-cute-to-miss close-up photo! - from the recent issue of Out Traveller. My special thanks to Marilyn for alerting me to this link.

And finally, Martina is expected to return to Toronto later this month for the Rogers Cup. Martina will be involved in a variety of charitable events during her stay in Toronto, which of course, should come as no surprise to us. For more, check out this column by George Cross for the Canadian sports website Slam Sports. One thing that I found confusing about the article is that it indicates Martina will play with Sveta in Toronto - or at least that's the way I interpreted it. Anna-Lena is also on the Toronto commitments list so I'm not sure why Martina would not be playing with her. If anyone has any information on this, please let me know.

Just a confirmation - Martina has committed to two WTA Tour events this summer before the U.S. Open - Carlsbad and Toronto and she might enter New Haven, depending on how she does at the other events.
