Bad news, Sharapova fans

Bad news for Maria Sharapova fans. She has delayed her re-entry into the tennis circuit again, pulling out of the upcoming Open GDF Suez and Barclays Dubai Tennis Championships in February because of ongoing shoulder problems.

Sharapova says on her website, “Right now I’m aiming for Palm Springs, or Miami, depending on how things shape up. I cannot wait to get back to playing tournaments!”

Those tournaments are scheduled for March. Hopefully she will be ready to go by then.

Serena Williams wins championship and regains world No. 1 ranking

Sexy tennis star, Serena Williams, made quick work of her final match in the 2009 Australian Open on Sunday, defeating Dinara Safina 6-0, 6-3. It only took 59 minutes, and was hardly a good championship match. Although Williams did not seem really on her game at the beginning of the tournament, when it counted, she was dominant.

Safina did not win a game until she broke Williams’ serve in the first game of the 2nd set. Williams broke right back, and then went on to close out the set and the match in championship form.
