Serena Williams rapping, music career next?

Music career is the new venture of Serena Williams. She's a tennis star, fashion designer, a part owner of the Miami Dolphins, but her interests have a far reach and rapping is the latest addition to her resumé. According to TMZ, Serena hit the studio last week and is working with a record label owned by Minnesota Vikings star Bryant McKinnie.

As the Boombox reports, we still don't know whether Serena is working on a music album, some charity song, or rapping is simply her leisure activity.

To get a glimpse into Serena's singing, check out the above interpretation of Madonna's "Like a Virgin". And, we also know Serena has the moves to accompany her rapping skills. :)

P!nky and Joeowen win Top Spin 4 tennis game

Yet another exciting giveaway has come to a close and we have our winners: P!nky and Joeowen will receive the Top Spin 4 tennis game for their PS3, Wii, or Xbox 360. Unfortunately, not many people joined the contest, mainly because it was restricted to the US readers. But the good thing about it is that those who joined had a much greater chance to become winners (which doesn't mean that those who failed to win this time should feel super unlucky :) ).

Of course, the answer about the controversial and sexy commercial was "Serena Williams".

P!nky and Joeowen, I will contact you regarding the delivery of the game. I hope you will enjoy it a lot! It would be awesome if you could give us a review of Top Spin 4 when you try it out. I will be glad to share it.

Update: P!nky's review of the game

Top Spin 4 was a fantastic tennis game because it felt very true to life. It felt like you were actually in charge of your players career.  The matches themselves still need a wee bit more work to make them realistic. The creation of your player is well done, you can choose your outfit and the type of player you want to be. The online aspect is well done, but if tennis is not the primary game you play you don’t stand much of a chance online. All in all it is a fantastic game, just like Marija’s blog is very well done.

Cheerful Serena Williams hits Miami beach

Can anyone see a beach photo of Serena Williams and not stare at it for at least five minutes, for whatever reason? You don't know whether to look at her striking body, a seemingly mismatched swimsuit, huge earrings, or toenails matching her strapless bikini top! More photos are available at Daily Mail.

The relaxed and confident Serena was spotted with her friends on the beach today. She looked to be in a very good mood, dancing around and looking happy despite the stagnation of her tennis career. Her return to the sport from the foot injury and its serious consequences is still indefinite, but she is playing tennis in the virtual world of the Top Spin 4 video game. :P

Top 5 emotional players in women's tennis

This is a guest post by our faithful reader, Marine, who has recently started a tennis blog herself. I thought it would be nice to present her writing skills and invite you to read Tennis Notebook.

Tennis is a sport which is never short of drama. When the pressure is on, it gets pretty emotional out there and there are some players who "let it out of their system" a bit more than others. So, here is my chart of top 5 WTA drama queens. Let’s see if you agree with my choice :) .


1. Vera Zvonareva

Vera has got two enemies to fight on the court: her opponents and her emotions. Unfortunately, sometimes the emotions win. And when she loses control she loses it big time. Her on-court antics can really spice up the action: throwing and breaking rackets, crying, shouting at herself… it’s all there and sometimes not only that. It’s not hard to imagine how terrible she must feel after such a loss of self-control. To calm down Vera often hides her face under a towel during the changeovers.

2. Serena Williams

Serena considers the court to be her little kingdom and she likes to be treated like a queen. If officials do not play along they will bear the consequences. Her ugly outburst at 2009 US Open was a hot topic in tennis world for months and most probably will be one of the things she will remembered for after her career is over.

3. Jelena Jankovic

JJ is a different version of a drama queen. No thrown or broken rackets or tears. She likes to complain to authorities instead. If things go wrong her debates with umpires often become pretty heated and sometimes she ends up fighting a little war of words. JJ keeps officials on their toes, that’s for sure.

4. Barbora Zahlavova-Strycova

There is not a lot that people know about this player. However since her match in Paris Open she has started to make a name for herself because of her tantrums. "Let it out and you’ll play better" seems to be her personal motto and therefore after losing an important point she tends to shout at herself. If that doesn’t work her coach is next…

5. Ana Ivanovic

After her great victory at Roland Garros something went very wrong. Her mental strength and confidence started to disappear and on the court her emotions often got better of her. The consequences of that were quite dire. Her performance got worse, she started to fall down the rankings and some people in tennis world have lost confidence in her abilities. Fortunately for Ana, she picked herself up just in time. Anyway, sometimes it is easy to spot she still finds it hard to control her emotions when on the court.
