Game, Set and Match - a list by hanahula

About this list:
Professional tennis, much like professional golf, is played year-round, with players following the warm weather from Australia to France to Wimbledon to the USA with oodles of smaller tournaments in between. And while some may think that watching tennis is akin to watching the grass grow on the court, I love nearly everything about the game, its etiquette, dress code and larger-than-life player personalities.
Qualifications:
I just gave myself an upgrade from a junior racket.

Description
If you have the itch to play tennis or racquetball, but can't find an open court. Or you want to improve upon your badminton game for your next grueling match. Try practicing with this fast-paced racket game. You can play nearly anywhere, day or night, as long as you have at least a few feet of space.

Lacoste: Long Sleeve Bold Striped V-Neck Cardigan
First to recommend
Description
Although the navy and white is a classic for spring, the long length of this cardigan puts an entirely fresh spin on the cardigan. Cute with a skirt and great with jeans, this is a great dress-me-up/dress-me-down closet staple.

US Open Online Shop: Women's Butterfly Tee by Heidi Klum
First to recommend
Description
Both Serena and Venus Williams have advanced to the next round of play at the 2008 US Open, and will face off in a Williams v. Williams quarterfinals match on Wednesday, September 3, 2008. But no matter your player allegiance, you can get a piece of the action as designed by Heidi Klum: both a US Open souvenir and a sayonara to summer.

Nike: Women's Tennis Night Dress
First to recommend
Description
Although Venus Williams came out looking strong and confident last night in her match against her sister, Serena took the match in two sets and a little more than an hour of play. Serena will now advance to the women's semi-finals, playing against Dinara Safina (Russia).

Pressure is a Privilege - Lessons I've Learned from Life and the Battle of the Sexes by Billie Jean King
First to recommend
Description
In addition to recently founding "GreenSlam" (an organization inspiring environmental awareness within the sports industry), Billie Jean King has been an amazing example of grit and determination on and off the tennis court for nearly her entire life (and all of mine.) And we could all use a little uplifting wisdom during this uncertain and unsettling period in our lives. Thank you, BJK ! (via GreenSlam)

US Open Online Shop: 2008 Official Theme Art Poster

Description
It has been a while since the concluding matches of the 2008 U.S. Open but I wanted to note the historic accomplishment of men's finalist Andy Murray, the sixth-seeded Scotsman who defeated the man on top, Rafael Nadal of Spain. And he went on to compete against Roger Federer in his first Grand Slam Final. Good show, Andy ! I wish you even more magic moments on and off the court in 2009 !

Nike Store: Women's U.S. Night Tennis Dress
First to recommend
Description
With this dress on your side of the net you will only need to stand with racket in hand to look like you mean tennis business. But the real fun, of both the dress and the game, begins once you start swinging. Wear, win, repeat.

Whilst some are busy gearing up for Superbowl Sunday, Serena Williams is heading for the women's finals at the 2009 Australian Open. She may not have made it to the Olympics last year, but she is now ready to rock in Melbourne. Look out Mademoiselle Safina !

Nike: Women's Tennis Wristbands
First to recommend
Description
I do not know if the yellow sweatbands she wore on her wrists gave her that extra edge she needed, but Serena Williams did it. She defeated Dinara Safina, won her 10th Grand Slam title and climbed back to number one in the world of professional women's tennis. Catch a replay today, Saturday, January 31, 2009, on ESPN2.

adidas: Women's Tennis Competition Top
First to recommend
Description
Dinara Safina may not have won her match yesterday against Serena Williams, but she was a great (and great-looking) sport. Of course, coming in second at the Australian Open and now reigning second in women's professional tennis are amazing feats for a 22-year-old athlete.
