Anne Keothavong has claimed she would have done broken into the world's top 50 years ago were it not for “unprofessional people” at the Lawn Tennis Association.
The 25-year-old rose four places to 48th in the rankings, following her run to the semi-finals in the Cellular South Cup in Memphis last week.
She is the first British woman since Jo Durie 16 years ago to make it into the top 50, and it continues the relatively late blossoming of a player who was ranked 134th 12 months ago.
But, although Keothavong is now content with the support provided to her by the LTA, she has criticised the sport's governing body in Britain for hampering her progress earlier in her career.
The Londoner, who turned professional in 2001, said she was now reaping the benefits of working with coaches she could trust.

Fall 2010 Fashion Week Trend: Cozy Knits

Cozy Knits at Yigal Azrouel, Cynthia Steffe, and Lela Rose.

Style tip? When it’s crazy out and you’re looking to cocoon, what could be a more comfortable choice than a cozy knit? Drape yourself in a patchwork of knits, as Yigal Azrouel does (left). Or go for a dramatic draped collar, as seen at Lela Rose. Want to just keep things simple? You can pair multiple knits in the same outfit, as Cynthia Steffe did with a cropped sweater and over-the-knee schoolgirl socks.

Lanvin's sophisticated tribal: Fall 2010

The well executed drapes and folds we've come to expect from Alber Elbaz were, for Lanvin's Fall 2010 collection, channelled into some of the most sophisticated tribal looks we've seen of late. Some beautiful full-swing frock coats, some full leather outfits, some highly detailed feathered dresses; all stunningly accessorised and matched with striking raven black blunt hairstyles (and as a side note, wow does Magdalena Frackowiak look great with pitch black hair.)

Murray prescribed, “His beginning was very fine and sound, striking the ball solid with his forehand and I was hitting it short. But after 3-0 in the first set I performed well until 5-1 (in the second) and then completely misplaced attentiveness, and finished up being in a battle at the end, which I didn’t essentially need.

He further said, “I was much gladder with the means I punch the ball today compared to my first match, bar the first and last three games.”

Somewhere else, sixth seed Juan Martin del Potro of Argentina facilitated past Janko Tipsarevic 6-4 6-1, and 11th seed David Ferrer of Spain defeat Croatia’s Marin Cilic 3-6 6-3 6-4.

On the other hand In the women’s draw, 13th seed Caroline Wozniacki defeat fourth seed Elena Dementieva 7-5 6-4 to participate in a quarter-final against eighth seed Svetlana Kuznetsova, who beat fellow Russian Alisa Kleybanova 6-2 6-1. Samantha Stosur carried out her win over second seed Dinara Safina by thrashing Amelie Mauresmo 6-4 6-4, and the Australian now face 11th seed Victoria Azarenka , who crushed Agnes Szavay 6-2 6-4.

She recently participated in a photo session for Hoss Intropia that was performed on the streets of Barcelona (Spain).

Calvin Klein at the New York Fashion Week - Fall-Winter 2009/10

Some months ago, Calvin Klein presented its collection for spring-summer 2009. It is based on the geometric shapes and futurism (sci-fi). This week, CK introduced its new fall-winter collection with a more sophisticated perspective. Fabrics and textures are the strong points of this collection: geometric shapes, asymmetric cuts, pleats and soft details that are used carefully. All the pieces are soft and elegant. Definitely, a very suitable collection.

DKNY Fall Winter 2009/2010 at the New York Fashion Week

The DKNY collection for spring-summer 2009 was based on sport clothing and fluorescent colors. Now, its collection for next autumn-winter (2009 / 2010) changes radically to show us some designs with a very feminine, sober and elegant style. We believe this is a trend that will continue throughout several fashion shows.

Andre Agassi Top Tennis Star

NEW YORK - When Todd Martin announced his retirement from tennis on Monday night after losing his first-round match to Frenchman Fabrice Santoro in four sets, Andre Agassi became the last graybeard on the men’s circuit. Older players such as Pete Sampras, Jim Courier, Michael Chang, David Wheaton and now Martin have stepped aside.

Can Agassi carry the mantle himself by winning his ninth career Grand Slam at the U.S. Open? Frankly, I don’t think so. Why? Age has caught up with him.

That said, I think we must admit that this has been a very puzzling year for Agassi in that he never knows whether he is going to play well or not. Agassi once slumped during the 1997 season, when he plummeted out of the top 100.

Third seeds Sania Mirza and Shahar Peer survived a scare from Tatiana Poutchek and Anastasia Rodionova before advancing to the doubles quarter-finals of the US $600,000 Bank of West Classic tournament in Stanford.
The Indo-Israeli pair beat the unseeded Belarussian-Russian duo 6-1, 0-6, 11-9 in over an hour at the WTA Tour hard court tournament on Wednesday.
Sania and Peer will meet the Uzbek-German team of Akgul Amanmuradova and Angalika Bachmann.
Sania, who is aiming for a second successive doubles title after her triumph in Cincinatti with Bethanie Mattek last week, and Peer failed to convert two breakpoints in the third set which saw them being broken thrice.
But they got their act together in the super tie-breaker to advance to the quarters.
