Former world No.1 Jelena Jankovic claimed her first title in three years at a small tournament in Bogota, the Copa Claro Colsanitas, cruising past first-time finalist Paula Ormaechea of Argentina 6-1 6-2. But not the whole week was this easy – against Julia Cohen in the first round Jankovic battled for more than three hours, while against Karin Knapp in the semis the third-set tiebreak decided the winner. The other two players the top-seeded Jankovic defeated during the week were Mariana Duque-Marino and Alexandra Cadantu.

This is Jankovic's 13th career title, while in the three-year drought period she lost five WTA finals.

At the other $235,000 tournament of the week, the US National Indoor Tennis Championships in Memphis, Marina Erakovic became the first New Zealander in 24 years to win a WTA title when third seed Sabine Lisicki retired from the final because of gastrointestinal illness. At the moment Erakovic was leading 6-1 0-0. (photo: © Neal Trousdale)

We've already had a glimpse at Stella McCartney's dress for Caroline Wozniacki's Australian Open campaign and we've seen the Adidas dress intended for Ana Ivanovic, Daniela Hantuchova and others wearing the line, so now that we found the pictures of the Nike dress Maria Sharapova will most probably wear at the upcoming Australian Open and a new Fila dress, we can't help but notice that everything is yellow!

I can't believe it, but just like Adidas, the color combination of Maria Sharapova's rumored Nike dress is yellow and grey. Here you can see the rest of the collection, including separates and other colors.

Fila went for bright yellow with huge open back and a black bra showing completely. Will this provocative Baseline Cami Dress be worn by Jelena Jankovic and Julia Goerges, the new addition to the Fila team?

Below the cut you can see how the Adidas dresses we showed you last month are looking on Wozniacki and Ivanovic. Read more »

On a revamped website of the WTA Tour there is a new interview with Jelena Jankovic, who reveals she plans to find satisfaction in golf once her tennis days are over. Of course, it will be just for fun, but she already has a coach and is trying to improve her skills:

I play golf for fun here and there. I'm really not good at it. I might have some talent somewhere, but I haven't played enough to be good at it. My coach is very good, so he's been teaching me the techniques and how I'm supposed to hit it. I try to follow the instructions, but I still don't know where my ball is going. I hit it but I don't know where it's going. I'm at the beginner stage but my goal is to do better when I stop playing tennis.

The Czech Republic successfully defended the Fed Cup trophy, dominating the Serbian team 2-0 on Saturday, and even though on Sunday Ana Ivanovic gave Serbia a slight ray of hope by beating the highest-ranked Czech Petra Kvitova in the first match of the day, Lucie Safarova's rocking winners against Jelena Jankovic finished the job for the Czechs in Prague.

The Czech Republic made a strong start to their Fed Cup title defense with two comfortable victories over Serbia, whose chances for maiden Fed Cup crown look very slim.

Lucie Safarova and Ana Ivanovic took the court first. The match was opened by Ivanovic holding her serve after fending off a break point, but that was as much of a lead the Serb had in the match, as Safarova went up a break in the third game, and even though Ivanovic leveled to 2-2, another break in the seventh game sealed the Serb's fate. Safarova continued her solid game in the second set and beat Ivanovic, who was coming back from a hip injury sustained in Moscow, 6-4 6-3 for the fourth straight time. Read more »
