Caroline Wozniacki and Turkish Airlines Plan Their Next Attack [Video]

After attacking our eyes and ears for most of 2011 with their infamous advertising campaign, Caroline Wozniacki and Turkish Airlines are already planning their next offensive on our sanity as our #1 returned to Istanbul to shoot some brand new promotional pictures.

She also appears to be wearing next year’s adidas dress which I’m happy to report is free of all ruffles. Good news as any.

Victoria Azarenka is one of the top 15 sexy and most successful women on the planet. Apparently.

Esquire magazine recently released their list for the sexiest big achieving women alive, and bizzarely our very own Victoria Azarenka somehow made the cut.

Don’t get me wrong; I like Vika and so I’mma let Esquire finish, but could this be any more random? Azarenka has had a great year and easily her best so far, but Vika over Martha, Karolina and even Petra these days? Clearly the author just closed their eyes and picked a female blonde tennis player at random. But hey, good on her.

Speaking of the Belarusian, The Tennis Channel just recently aired a ‘tennisography’ on her which looks at her upbringing and rise to the top of tennis. Very interesting stuff.

How Did Rafa Do On Letterman?

Yesterday, Rafael Nadal was on the US talk show Letterman ahead of the US Open. I can’t even deny that I was pretty nervous for him – these days his English is fine when talking about tennis, but as soon as the subject veers away from tennis it quickly becomes awkward silence after awkward silence with Rafa struggling (and usually failing) to find the right word to express himself.

Thankfully, it all turned out fine. Letterman stuck mostly to tennis questions and he even set Rafa up with a chance make a funny(!!!), with Rafa joking “sometimes it’s better if he’s not here” when asked about Federer.

I also love that the main point of the interview was to promote his book, and yet they spent more time shamelessly promoting Rafa’s Babolat racket than actually talking about the book itself.

So a good interview and nice effort from Rafa. But as a rule, I think he should leave all the talk shows to the likes of Maria, Serena, Andy, and of course the great Marat Safin:

Nails Talks About Her… Nails.

I could seriously watch this woman talk for hours and hours and a smile wouldn’t leave my face. She’s just so good at… at life.

All Hail Queen Petra Kvitova

As if she wasn’t majestic enough already, someone decided to make this glorious video of 122 (apparently all of them, but I’m sure there were more than that) of Petra’s winners en-route to her Wimbledon title. Bow. Down.

The beatdown she gave Wickmayer still makes me chuckle. Wickmayer just didn’t have any time to react, with the ball either at her feet or flying past her before she could even look up. It was so one-sided that even Wicky, Miss Evil, found herself laughing and smiling at just how helpless she was – something that will never happen again.
