Maria Sharapova attended the opening of the Tiffany & Co's newest store at The Americana in Glendale, CA.

It was a fashionable evening of cocktails, giving friends and customers the chance to mix, match and have fun with the trendy jewelry. Also in attendance was Willie Ebersol, the brother of Sharapova’s rumored boyfriend, Charlie Ebersol.

This is becoming overwhelming. I didn't believe I would ever say this, but I'm beginning to feel we're getting too much update on Ana Ivanovic and Fernando Verdasco. Shouldn’t they stay at home sometimes? We know Ana has a wonderful new villa in Mallorca!

Ana is still hanging out in Spain with her boyfriend and they again attended a Real Madrid match. This time, however, Real Madrid actually won in their presence.

There is even a video of Ana and Fernando leaving the match.

Well Ana, while you're attracting the paparazzi, Jelena Jankovic is all tennis. (via Forty Deuce)

World No.1 Jelena Jankovic finished her extensive fitness training in Mexico and is back in Florida working at the Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy.

Jankovic, who is determined to make 2009 her best year ever, is practicing with her coach and Pat Etcheberry. Nick also gave his share, giving Jankovic some advice on her volleys.

Lindsay Davenport is on the entry list for the 2009 Australian Open which clearly means she’s delaying her hinted second retirement.

I bet you would like to see how Ana Ivanovic reacted when she learned she had become the top-ranked player in the world for the first time. Here’s a short video clip so you can share Ana’s amazement.

Reminder: Ivanovic reached the No.1 spot by beating fellow Serb Jelena Jankovic in Roland Garros 2008 semifinals.

Our reader Pat expressed wish to see Ana Ivanovic’s adidas designs featured as part of our retrospections of WTA players’ 2008 outfits, and we’re happy to make wishes of our dedicated readers come true.

In 2008 Ana Ivanovic wore the same dress at both the Australian Open and Roland Garros, in different colors though. That will be the case in 2009 too. Ana will wear the violet adilibria adidas dress at the first Grand Slam of the year, while the blue version of the same dress is reserved for the French open.

At Wimbledon 2008 Ana Ivanovic made an unexpected switch. She was supposed to wear the white dress during Wimbledon, but very soon into the tournament she abandoned it and switched to the other white adidas piece. Read more »

Ana Ivanovic and Fernando Verdasco seem to be together all the time — they shopped together, watched a soccer match together, trained together, and the list is getting longer every day. I wonder how it will continue when the new season starts. But I'll leave the pessimism aside, Ana has now even been spotted with her boyfriend’s family!

Early into their relationship Fernando watched Ana’s matches and trainings sitting next to Ana’s mother Dragana, and now Ana is hanging out with Fernando’s family in Spain. Things are progressing fast for this tennis couple. Read more »

Former world No.4 Jelena Dokic is back in her adopted country of Australia and feels well on her way to bring back the form and results she deserves.

"I feel good," says the 25-year-old Dokic. "I've been training a lot and I've been training hard, and I give myself just as much of a chance as anyone else."

"I have some confidence now, and [I have played] some matches and the [Australian Open] Play-off will be a really really good test for me."

"I'm in the best shape I've probably been in the last four years, so I think I've made a couple of steps forward and I need to just continue for the next six months," the world No.179 Dokic added.

"I need to have a consistent year in 2009, but I think I'm on the way."

The Australian Open Play-off is on at Melbourne Park from 15 to 21 December.

Jelena Jankovic is determined to retain her number one ranking in 2009 and has been working intensely on her form in San Luis, Mexico. The Serb is even accompanied by Mexican marathon runner German Silva in her trainings.

Here's how Jankovic describes her preparations:

The training process is rigorous and it contains many different exercises which are devised to increase strength, stamina and speed. I run a few kilometers every day and since I find it the most difficult of all tests, the coach [Pat Etcheberry] has found me company – marathon runner German Silva. He has an outstanding record in marathon races around the globe. He came sixth in the Olympic marathon in 1996, and he has won the New York marathon two times – in 1994 and 1995. We run together and it’s somewhat easier with someone at my side.

As a final stage of her preparations for next season Jankovic will practice tennis near her home of Bradenton, Florida. (source: Blic)

Serena Williams and rapper Common haven’t even confirmed their romantic relationship and there is already talk about its end.

According to MediaTakeOut.com the two are not dating anymore because they're both extremely busy and their schedules don't match up - so they decided to put things on hold.

Anyway, who would like to date a guy whose girlfriend can be hip-hop!

There is, however, one more addition to the story. Common's decision to end things may have had a lot to do with his ex-girlfriend actress Kerry Washington. There are rumors that Common and Kerry are together again.
