“He (Federer) smashed a racket in anger in Miami the last time he played, and Sky Bet are offering 16-1 he smashes another this week in Monte Carlo, where he plays Andreas Seppi in the first round today.
Ladbrokes quote 100-1 for Fed’s nipper to arrive during the men’s final at Wimbledon – the same price as sunshine – and a very tempting 7-4 for him to miss the halfway cut.”
Sure to be the talk of tennis forums for the night, the usually well mannered Federer smashes his racket on court and then doesnt shake the umpires hand at the end of the match.Fairly shocking
Federer v. the aggressive but injury prone American Taylor Dent
The two have never met on the tour before.
Should be an interesting match up. You can be sure of a good bit of serve and volley action with a little
“attack the Federer backhand like everyone else” from Dent. Hmmmmmm. Federer to take it 7-6 6-3 maybe
Federer in an interview Sunday is confident things wont change when him and Mirka have their first child in the summer.:o
Ivanovic on her new coach, “It’s working great really. We enjoy working with each other. We have great communication on the court, so that’s really good.” AH. That must explain her dismal displays as of late.
Samanta Stosur on whether beating world number 2 Safina was her biggest singles win of her career. “Yep. Yeah, it would be.” Confidence Personified……
Serena after her match with Jie Zheng “I don’t think I played great. I thought she played probably her best tennis yet.” Giving credit where credit is due, as usual. *rollseyes*
A few photos of the day :p

Serena Williams shows us her p-p-p-pokerface p-p-p-pokerface as she swings at a backhand.
Vogue editor Anna Wintour watches countryman Andy Murray. Perhaps shes scouting and wants to use his curly hair in her latest pro-fur campaign??
World number 4 Andy Murray v. the veteran Chilean and former double Olympic gold medalist Nicolas Massu
32nd seed and renowned underachiever Feliciano Lopez v. recent riser Fernando Verdasco
and world number “1″ Serena Williams v. the doubles specialist that brought about Ivanovics downfall Jie Zheng
With top 10-ers Jankovic, Safina, Ivanovic and last weeks Indian Wells titlist Zvonareva pathetically falling in the 2nd round, womens tennis just keeps getting bleaker and bleaker with players like Alexa Glatch and Asha Rolle being the U.S’s next big ‘hopes’.
Looks like another title this week for one of the “we dont play IW beccause we were ‘racially’ booed” Williams sisters…….
