The Beauty and Power of Tennis
The New York Times recently posted a video gallery on its site called "The Beauty of the Power Game." It shows some of the top female tennis players in slow motion, and it's pretty cool. Below are some photo stills, but you need to watch the actual slow motion video to appreciate how strong and muscular these women are, and how beautiful their movements look when they are slowed down and set to music. [And a special thanks to my Swiss friend Pascal for sending me the link!]

Serena Williams: Greatest of All Time?
Jon Wertheim recently wrote an article stating that, for him, Serena Williams is the Greatest of All Time. Although I think it's too early to grant Serena this title, I do agree with many of Wertheim's points and it's been interesting to read the many articles and comments that have been written in response to his statement.

Steve Tignor of Tennis.com clearly disagrees with Wertheim in the article below:
