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?

Växjö 1
This weekend will be remembered in history as the weekend when Swedish Tennis and the Academic World merged.
Henrik Ekersund, the Federations Education Officer, is bringing to sail a 10 year project. The launch of the new Coaches Education Program.
The SvTF aims to take Swedish Tennis into a new era. A new era illuminated and guided by scientific knowledge.
As the Education Officer for the Northern Region, I am more than exited about being an active part of this process, the new step that will make us a much stronger tennis nation. I have been asked to cooperate with the Stockholm Region when it comes to giving lectures, this will enrich my experiences and contacts further.
4 universities a sports academy, all 7 regions and several prominent coaches are involved in the process. The Federation is taking feedback from all important tennis profiles in the country to make of this project an inclusive one.
Let's hope that the winds of change pick up pace and race through all clubs across the nation so that we all understand the critical difference that scientific knowledge can make. Let's allow ourselves well educated coaches, let us understand the importance of investing in a tennis future!

Australian Open 2
For most fans, Federer and Nadal are the absolute contenders to any title, including the first grand slam of the year - the Australian Open. The reason why I love the Aussie Open so much, besides the awesome TV sending times that fit my schedule perfectly, is the fact that it has been THE grandslam of the underdog. If fou wanna get more detailed info about the favorite contenders, check out Chris Skeltons blog post below:

A database over players, shots, play and matches using the world's leading Bio- mechanics analysis software: Darthfish. Directly commissioned by the Tennis Swedish Federation, the position I'll be filling is: Dartfish Expert. A week in the UK and another in the US are already booked in the quest to gather as much knowledge and info about the program that revolutionized sports TV broadcasting and was soon adapted as a coaching tool.
