Tatiana Golovin is glad that seven-times grand slam champion Mats Wilander will be her coach from the beginning of the East West Bank Classic presented by Herbalife tournament until the US Open. The Frenchwoman had a good start to the season, winning her first career title at Amelia Island in April before re-injuring her right ankle, which forced her off the tour for two months.

Golovin is hoping that the experienced Swede can teach her some new tricks:

"He doesn't like the part of women's tennis where we hit as hard as we can and not really think out there,

"He's going to make me think more, see the court better and play more like a guy, which could be better." (via Reuters)

Despite withdrawing from the French Open as a precaution to avoid wrecking her grass court season, France's Tatiana Golovin still hasn’t recovered from her ankle injury and is likely to miss Wimbledon. World No. 17 has already pulled out of Birmingham, the Wimbledon warm-up event. (via Tatiana Golovin Fan Club)

Porsche, a famous automotive company and supporter of women's professional tennis, donated €50,000 to benefit the partnership between UNESCO and the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour. This partnership was formed in November 2006, in order to promote gender equality and women's leadership in all spheres of society with the involvement of leading female professional tennis players.

France’s Tatiana Golovin was named a "Promoter of Gender Equality" for the partnership, at the ceremony held at UNESCO headquarters in Paris. World No.17 joins Venus Williams who has been the global Promoter of Gender Equality since November 2006.

"I am really excited to play an increased role in advancing women's equality through this partnership. I have had unbelievable opportunities as a professional athlete and feel strongly that girls and women across the world should have similar opportunities to succeed in the goals they set for themselves,” Tatiana said.

UNESCO Director-General Koïchiro Matsuura stated: "The efforts of Tatiana Golovin and Venus Williams will be key factors in the successful implementation of the partnership as they will provide role models for millions of girls and young women around the world."

Stacey Allaster, President of the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour, pointed out that "2007 will be remembered as the year of equality in women's tennis, with both Roland Garros and Wimbledon having made historic decisions to move to equal prize money for all women's and men's competitors for the first time in their respective storied histories."

Tatiana Golovin, ranked 17th in the world, had to withdraw from her home Grand Slam tournament which starts on Sunday. The French No. 2 hasn't recovered from a right-foot injury she received during Fed Cup played last month. She will be replaced in the main draw by a lucky loser. (via: Tennis Magazine)

World No. 6 Martina Hingis has also withdrawn earlier this month due to back and hip injuries.

France's No. 2, Tatiana Golovin, will be the leader of the French team in the Fed Cup, since France's highest ranked player, Amelie Mauresmo, is still recovering from her appendectomy. A lot of pressure is put on Golovin, who has recently won her first WTA title, since she is expected to win three points playing singles and doubles this weekend. However, 19-year-old Golovin has already shown her mental strength in the Fed Cup – in 2004 by beating Svetlana Kuznetsova in the final, and in 2006 in Cagnes-sur-Mer versus the Czech Republic.
