We have already seen what Denmark's No.1 Caroline Wozniacki will wear this fall, most notably at the US Open, and now we took hold of the photos of the Adidas dress in which the fresh 22-year-old will represent her country at the 27 July – 12 August London Olympics. Even though the tennis Olympic venue will be the  iconic grass courts of Wimbledon, the all-white clothing rule will not apply and we will have a unique opportunity to enjoy colorful outfits in the traditional Wimbledon setting.

Since losing in the first round of Wimbledon, Wozniacki has made a break before the 28 July – 5 August Olympic Tennis Event. At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Wozniacki reached the round of 16 where she fell to eventual gold medalist Elena Dementieva. (via The Slice)

Looks like Women's Tennis Blog's Kiddie Pics section inspired the theme of the ITF's Olympic Book, aiming to promote the 2012 London Olympic and Paralympic Tennis Events. Aspire, Inspire: Celebrating Tennis at the Olympics 2012 includes 36 world's leading players posing with photos of themselves as a child and talking about their heroes. Of course, there are other features such as players talking about their expectations from the upcoming Olympics and words of wisdom from tennis legends.

The commemorative book is not for sale, but you can win a signed copy and ahead of the Olympics an online version will be available. There is a 20-day competition already at large at the ITF website. Your task is to give a correct answer to whose childhood photo is in the picture and you could be one of the lucky winners. Every day a new photo is presented.

Sabine Lisicki recently did an interview with Ellery Maddocks for Tennis Now, chatting about how she turned her hatred for grass into love, the excitement she has for Wimbledon and the London Olympics, cooperation with Longines, the constant travels of tennis players, etc.

Here's my favorite part of the interview, where Sabine explains how the grass surface troubled her not only because of its uniqueness but grass itself caused her health problems:

I used to hate it, the first time I went there (Wimbledon) I actually think I lost 5 straight matches on grass plus one doubles, and then I turned it around in 2009 where I went to the quarterfinals. I have a string grass allergy, so there was a lot against it, but at some point I just turned it around. I just love it now, it plays differently, it's quicker obviously which is good for my service, which is one of my weapons.

Last year at the grasscourt Birmingham Lisicki won the title and went on to reach the semifinals of Wimbledon, her first and only Grand Slam semifinal appearance. However, Lisicki exited this week's Birmingham tournament in the second round already, losing to Urszula Radwanska 6-3 6-4. (photo: Ralf Reinecke)

David Fearnhead, long-time reader of Women's Tennis Blog, professional journalist and author of novel Bailey of the Saints (out now!), did a Q&A with Kaia Kanepi about the Olympics. The interview's timing is perfect, as Kanepi is now under a watchful eye of the tennis world following her big victory over Caroline Wozniacki and over her own chokes in the third round of Roland Garros. Today she's facing Arantxa Rus.

Estonia’s Kaia Kanepi has had a great start to 2012, collecting trophies in Brisbane and Estoril. Then she ousted Wozniacki at the French. It’s hopefully the start of a special summer for the 26-year-old. This July Kanepi is set for her 3rd appearance at the Olympic Games. She has the game which could put her in contention for a medal… as long as she stays clear of injury. Here she speaks exclusively about her Olympic Dream.

Before Athens in 2004 I went running and fell, breaking my little finger on my left hand, it meant that I couldn’t really hit my backhand very well. I still had a great time there with all the other Estonian athletes. My favorite thing was the foodcourt, it was huge!

I had my appendix out one month before Beijing 2008. It was my first tournament back following that operation. I still made it through to the third round before going out to the home favorite Li Na. I didn’t get to go to the opening ceremony in Athens or Beijing because it lasts for such a long time and I had to play the next day. I hope I have the chance to go in London. I also want to go and see some of the track and field. Read more »

Thanks to our reader Soko we’re learning about this very surprising piece of news – Ana Ivanovic will team up with established Serbian mixed doubles player Nenad Zimonjic for the 2011 Australian Open and they are even planning to follow it up with a joined appearance at the 2012 London Olympics.

Ivanovic can learn more than a trick or two from Zimonjic – the father of twins has won 38 doubles titles including three Grand Slams and four mixed doubles titles, all four at Grand Slams.

Ivanovic and Zimonjic are planning to play only the Australian Open together, while at other Grand Slams Zimonjic will get back to playing with Slovenia’s Katarina Srebotnik.

It will be Ivanovic’s and Zimonjic’s first time to join forces and if they happen to win the 2012 London Olympics they will enter history books as the winners of the first mixed doubles event at the Summer Olympics.

It would be great if Ivanovic would repeat the same surprising success her countrywoman Jelena Jankovic had with Jamie Murrey at Wimbledon in 2007. (source: Vesti Online, photo: sr_cranks)
