Sharapova: I don't have friends in Tennis
She focuses on being competitive
This can be what works for her to keep the competitive edge. I once heard that Jack Kramer used to temporarily hate his opponent on the court as he fought to crush his opponent on the other side of the net. As long as you keep your emotions in check and on your side of the net it makes perfect sense.

Fed News: Davenport - Federer has made this huge change to tennis, Ripped for Going Against Code, Federer Major injury concern
Lindsay
It is great to see that players with better attitudes are generally the ones at the top as compared to some from earlier times. Bad behavior isn't good for the sport.
Federer Ripped for Going Against Sport Code
He could have said it before the tournament and then been accused of using it as a sympathy ploy. You really can't win with the press. In this case the truth always carries the day. If I were playing Fed and he said he was injured afterward I'd just claim that I was too. If I was and won so much the better. The fact is that beating Fed under any conditions is a great win for Anderson.

Novak Thought of Retiring
Novak Considered it
It has to be a mental letdown to have an injury hold you back from what you know you can do. Thankfully he's back and in unbelievable form.

The Fed Forehand - On The Rise
If I could describe the Fed Forehand in only three words I'd Say "On The Rise."
I'd say this because you see many of the very best players hitting it on the fall long after it reached the apex or with their severe Western grips they actually play it at the apex, the highest point.
Here is John Yandell in his superb analysis of the Fed Forehand.
Yandell at Tennisplayer.net
In the end what you gain by emulating the Fed way is to stay close to the baseline and play everything early thereby cutting the angle of travel and increasing your angle by being closer to the net. It also allows you to effectively speed up your shots by shortening the time it takes it back to your opponent.

Some Health Supplements Found to Contain Drugs
Hundreds of supplements tainted with prescription drugs
This is worrisome. It appears that there are a few main categories that have problems that include weight loss, muscle growth, and sexual enhancement. Keeping that in mind I'd focus more on vitamins and nutrients rather than problem solving with a pill.

Federer Says Respect Ball Kids
Fed on Respecting the Kids
It is common sense to show kindness and respect to those who volunteer to help you. Perhaps it is time to reverse the trend and let the kids only retrieve balls and have the players do their own towel fetching.
Tennis Rallies Around Ball Kids
Okay, so if the players decide that it is best to get towels handed to them maybe they should pay a second to stand by and hand them one. If not that how about the ball kids are actually paid for each time they hand a towel to the players.

Li Na says Osaka needs
Desire To Go Further
She'll find that desire as she loses to lesser players. Once you've won the big ones it's hard to accept losses and especially early losses.
