9 Of The Greatest Wimbledon Upsets Of All Time
Yesterday, 79th-ranked Elena Vesnina of Russia upset tennis superstar Venus Williams. Williams’ loss came as a surprise to many. While no one expects the now 32-year-old veteran to play at the same level she did in her prime, a first-round loss at Wimbledon had to hurt. Even so, Venus can at least say she’s in [...]

David Nalbandian Disqualified From Queen’s Club Final After Kicking Sign at Line Judge (Video)
David Nalbandian had been kicking aside everything in his path this past week, en route to a spot in the finals at the Queen’s Club tournament. And the kicking would continue during his finals match against Marin Cilic on Sunday, although, this time it wouldn’t earn the Argentine a victory. Instead, it would cost him [...]

Roger Federer Screams at French Open Fans to “Shut Up” (Video)
It shouldn’t come as a surprise that Roger Federer is getting a little curmudgeonly these days. While he’s been mostly polite throughout his storied career, he’s never been an especially warm and gregarious guy (Novak Djokovic he is not). Now Roger is 30 years old, which is about 80 in the world of professional tennis. [...]

Caroline Wozniacki’s Hit Single “Oxygen” Was Released On Friday (Video)
Some women have shown that they are capable of translating their good looks (and a bit of athleticism) into a successful career in sports, while other women have used their looks to advance their singing careers. Some may argue that the WTA’s sixth-ranked tennis player, Caroline Wozniacki, is a perfect example of the former, as [...]

Cristiano Ronaldo Plays Tennis Against Rafael Nadal In Lastest Nike Commercial (Video)
Adidas brought out their big guns for their latest “We All Run” commercial, and it appears as though Nike has done the same, as they pinned Rafael Nadal against Cristiano Ronaldo in a tennis match for their recently released Nike Football commercial. But this isn’t your typical tennis match. Not even close. Instead, in an [...]

19-Year-Old Tennis Player Asks Umpire To Remove His Father From The Stadium (Video)
I am sure 19-year-old tennis star Bernard Tomic loves his father, but there is only so much negativity that one son can take from his dad before he has finally had enough. For Tomic, he reached that point during his match against David Ferrer at the Sony Ericsson Open on Saturday. With Bernard trailing 0-30 [...]

Rafael Nadal Fan Faceplants While Going After A Souvenir Ball (Video)
I always knew women would do just about anything to get their hands on the balls of Rafael Nadal, but who knew that some men shared similar feelings about the world class tennis player? I guess I should have saw something like this coming after a male court-intruder tried to kiss the Spaniard a few [...]

Michelle Obama Hitting A Tennis Ball Gets Photoshopped (Gallery)
Seeing the look on Michelle Obama’s face as she swings a tennis racket is awfully funny. And what is equally humorous is seeing the look on her face while she swings a lightsaber, nunchucks, glow sticks or a cat. You can see her taking part in all of the aforementioned activities and more in the [...]

Ball Girl Makes An Incredible Catch At The Australian Open (Video)
Whenever Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer meet up on the tennis court, highlight reel moments are bound to be created. However, more often than not, those highlights are being produced by their tennis racquets. But while their racquets did produce some remarkable highlights during their meeting in the semi-finals of the Australian Open earlier this [...]

Tennis Player Stanislas Wawrinka Gropes A Female Line Judge (Video)
Tennis sure does have some awfully weird rules. Think about it. Raising one’s voice while arguing a call with a line judge or the chair umpire will likely earn that player a disqualification and possibly even a fine or suspension. However, you are free to touch and grab any part of a female line judge’s [...]

The 2012 Australian Open has begun down in Melbourne, and a new tennis season is now officially underway.

Ball Boy’s Head Nearly Decapitated At Australian Open (Video)
During a first round match between Roger Federer and Alexander Kudryavtsev at the Australian Open, you’d figure most people would credit Federer with having the “deadlier shot” in this battle. Not quite. While Federer was hitting balls with his usual precision, en route to the 7-5, 6-2, 6-2 victory, Kudryavtsev was busy proving that he [...]

Gael Monfils Is Party Rockin’ In Buenos Aires (Video)
During the 2011 ATP season, Frenchman Gael Monfils compiled a 38-16 record, won one tournament, reached two finals, and he climbed as high as seventh in the rankings before eventually finishing the year ranked 15th.

Sweet Caroline (GIF)
I’m not quite sure if this move makes Caroline Wozniacki look good or bad with her fans. On the one hand, anyone would love to be seated behind the sexy tennis star as she lifts her skirt and gives the viewers a sneak peak at her backside. However, the last time I checked, no one [...]
