Thanks to reader Frank Lambert, Women's Tennis Blog can share with you the pictures of pregnant Kateryna Bondarenko. The news of the Ukrainian tennis player's pregnancy appeared online some months ago, but now we have the photo proof. Apparently, we will very soon have another tennis baby. Just a month ago Belgian WTA legend Justine Henin gave birth to a baby girl.

The 26-year-old Kateryna got married in September 2011, to Kiev businessman Denis Volodko. She hasn't played on the Tour since losing to Jelena Jankovic in the first round of the 2012 US Open. Kateryna's highest singles ranking was No.29 and she's won one WTA title, the 2008 Birmingham. Read more »

New York and fashion go hand in hand, and tennis outfits are no exception, especially when we have a high-profile event such as the US Open. So let's see what the manufacturers of tennis clothes prepared for our WTA stars and there is no better way to start than with American Bethanie Mattek Sands who integrated patriotism in her attire.

Don't you love the American-flag tube socks and the accompanying red shoes? Bethanie looks awesome in her Under Armour outfit with accessories that perfectly match the US Open occasion.

Bethanie is known for her experiments with fashion and her most recent took place before and during Wimbledon, when she incorporated tennis balls in her player party and on-court outfits.

Venus Williams shocked with her EleVen US Open dress as much as she did with her subsequent abrupt withdrawal due to a long-undiagnosed syndrome.

Top seed Caroline Wozniacki and Stella McCartney absolutely failed to inspire with a white dress much more suitable for Wimbledon. Why not use colors for the US Open when you can?

Women's tennis fashion is attracting a lot of attention, especially at Grand Slams when clothing sponsors and players try to showcase the best they have. So let's see what they've come up for the 2010 US Open.

I'll start with adidas, my overall favorite, as they always make outfits that have a glamorous touch but can also be easily worn at everyday practice.

Daniela Hantuchova and Ana Ivanovic are sporting pink adidas Women's Fall adilibria Dress.

Russians Dinara Safina and Maria Kirilenko are clad in adidas Barricade Top and Skort.

Caroline Wozniacki is looking great in Stella McCartney Tennis Performance Dress, contrasting nicely with Tennis Performance Bra Top. Elena Dementieva and Yonex once again failed to impress with design and fellow blogger C Note, who saw the dress live at the US Open, said that it even looks two sizes too big on Dementieva.

As usual for a Grand Slam, Maria Sharapova has two versions of a Nike dress – one for day matches and a darker piece for night. When we reviewed the dresses from the photos prior to the Open they looked somewhat questionable, but when seen on Sharapova they are a perfect match. You can see the dresses closer here and here.

The Sony Ericsson WTA Tour posted a selection of photos from the wedding of Alona Bondarenko and her coach Nikolay Dyachok. The wedding took place in July and now we get to see that Alona had a wedding dress afterall, although the news was that they got married in an informal ceremony wearing jeans.

In the above photo you get to see Alona’s bridesmaids, including her younger sister Kateryna Bondarenko.

More photos are available at the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour’s website.

Ukraine’s No.1 Alona Bondarenko married her coach Nikolay Dyachok on Thursday. The couple got married in an informal style, wearing jeans and T-shirts that said "Just Married."

"As athletes we have to get married in something sporty," said the 25-year-old Bondarenko. "[We] didn't want pompous outfits."

In addition to the official marriage, there was a reception for 300 guests on Saturday.

Alona and Nikolay will go to their honeymoney in Crete, Greece, next week. (source: Tennis.com, photo: © Neal Trousdale)
