Test

Testing the blogger app for my iPhone.. On my way back to Sundsvall from Helsingborg. This weekend I listened to great lectures, brainstormed with colleagues and filmed Johanna Larsson's matches at the Fed Cup. Sweden ended up loosing against Ukraine 3-2. Sofia and Johanna were outplayed this weekend but I think I caught a lot on tape. I might have just discovered a little problem that causes lots of problems. Can't wait till I can Dartfish the clips and do some measurements.

Helsingborg just became my second favorite city in the country, snatched the place away from Gothenburg. Southerners in Bolivia and Sweden , sing rather than speak. Luv the accent!

a true athlete!



It is seldom that one watches wheelchair tennis. Even in Sweden which is a dominant actor in the sport with world and olympic champions. I was lucky enough to stream parts of the match.. and it was impressive! The new AO champ is KUNIEDA (Korea)

The Golden Flower

That how the chinese country man refer to the ever popular Li Na.
In a time when most are waiting for a WTA leader, Li Na's tennis is the hope of many!
We all like Wozniaki - but she hasn't won any major yet. Serena dominates - but she doesn't play enough.
and while the world rejoices on Clijsters coming back.. how long will it last?



I love to see new champions at the AO and this might just be just the right day for it!
But talk about pressure, it is estimated that there are more fans of just LI NA watching this match than there will be of the men's final combined!

AO 3

Dolgopolov became number 1 at reading serves this night. Too bad for our Swedish hope, but then again, 2011 started better than 2010 for him - he lost in the first round :/

in the mean time, watch Caroline W tell about the terrible attack she had to endure!

Fashion and Tennis

These 2 words are now inseparable - specially when it comes to woman's tennis.
Women's tennis is one of the biggest spectator sports in the world, and as such, players and their sponsors carefully mastermind their collections each season using the grand slam as a catwalk. Keep in mind that women's tennis is the 4th most watched sport in the world!

The play hasn't even started, but Maria Sharapova isalready made headlines by revealing her new Aussie collection...




and what remains to be seen is whether Venus will pull another fashion disaster this year.. remember?
