The most grandiose tennis tournament in the world is ready for Monday’s huge opening day.

That’s right, the 2008 All England Lawn Tennis Championships, otherwise known simply as Wimbledon, will begin this Monday as the top tennis players in the world prepare to win the very tournament, the ONLY tournament that matters.

While F1 has Monaco, NASCAR has Daytona, soccer has the World Cup and pro wrestling has WrestleMania, tennis has Wimbledon. This tennis tournament in England has always become the highlight of the tennis season and you can bet your ass every tennis player out there will be out looking to win the 2008 Wimbledon Championships, no matter how hard it will take them.

The 2008 Wimbledon Championships will take place at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club starting June 23 through July 6, 2008. This year marks the 132nd edition of the Wimbledon Championships, and the third Grand Slam event of the year.

And just like any other Wimbledon tournaments in the past, the French Open champion, (since the French Open is the last Grand Slam tournament held before Wimbledon…) will be looking to win in England and follow up on his or her last Grand Slam success.

This year, we have 2008 French Open champions, Rafael Nadal and Ana Ivanovic.

While they are two of the best tennis players we have today, we all know Nadal can’t win if they’re not playing on clay. Ana Ivanovic, on the other hand, won this year’s tournament on clay…

It’s that time of the year when our clay court king attempts to win something that’s not on clay.

And in case you have no idea what I’m talking about, the 2008 Wimbledon championships are almost here after watching Rafael Nadal win at Roland Garros. And just like the past four tournaments in England, Nadal will come in as the last Grand Slam winner looking to win something outside the clay courts.

You see, for the past four years, Rafael Nadal will come in Wimbledon as the reigning French Open champion. Yes, Nadal virtually dominated the clay courts for four straight years now.

And while he has been so dominant on clay, he just can’t seem to win this Wimbledon tournament. Otherwise known as the 2008 All England Lawn Tennis Championships, this year’s Wimbledon tournament should prove to be yet another test to Nadal if he wants to prove that he is one of the best tennis players there is today.

11-time major champion Bjorn Borg believes Rafael Nadal can beat Roger Federer. After watching the French Open championship match at Roland Garros from a front-row seat, the Swede said, ‘’if he survives the first couple of rounds this year, I pick him to win Wimbledon.'’

Roger Federer, on the other hand, can’t wait to face Nadal on…

Ana Ivanovic, as of press time, is the Queen of the tennis world.

The French Open women’s champion will probably come in the 2008 All England Lawn Tennis Championships as one of the favorites to win the latest Grand Slam of the tennis calendar.

And for all ya’ll who don’t know squat what the All England Lawn Tennis Championships are all about, it’s the 2008 Wimbledon Championships, the third Grand Slam tournament in tennis. It is also the most grandiose tennis tournament you’ll find all over the world.

The Championships, commonly referred to as Wimbledon, is the oldest major championship in tennis and is regarded by many to be the most prestigious tennis championship in the world.

This year’s Wimbledon will be held on June 23 until July 6 at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London, England. The tournament is the third Grand Slam event played each year, preceded by the Australian Open and the French Open.

After Wimbledon, tennis will return to the States for the 2008 U.S. Open to culminate the 2008 tennis season.

And while the hot and sexy Maria Sharapova will probably return to England looking to defend her Wimbledon title…

You read it people, the latest grand slam tournament on clay has just concluded.

And while we probably anticipated the ‘’clay king'’ Rafael Nadal to win it again in the 2008 French Open at Roland Garros, watching Ana Ivanovic win it on the women’s side of things was a breath of fresh air.

Oh yes, Rafael Nadal won it again, marking his fourth consecutive grand slam win on a clay court. Seeded no.2 for this tournament, he dominated the no.1 seed and world No.1 ranked player, Roger Federer, in stunning fashion, beating the Swiss sensation 6-1, 6-3, 6-0.

Jeez… It wasn’t even close. ‘’He dominated from the first point until the end,'’ Roger Federer said, a guy who hasn’t lost a 6-0 set since 1999, and hasn’t won fewer than five games in a match since 2002. ‘’It’s the strongest Rafa that I’ve ever seen. He was more dominant than the previous years.'’

With Nadal winning the French Open, his record now improves to a perfect 28-0 in the French Open and 115-2 overall on clay since April 2005. He’s also 22-1 in clay-court finals. ‘’I am humble,'’ Nadal said, ‘’but…'’

First, Nicole Vaidisova went out, then it was Ashley Harkleroad. And now, Sharapova? FUCK.

You read it people, our favorite Russian sex goddess just got eliminated from the 2008 French Open at Roland Garros. Coming to the tournament as the world No.1 after Justine Henin’s retirement, watching her beaten by a virtual unknown was a shocker, to say the least.

Many thought the hot and sexy Maria Sharapova will have an easier path all the way to the very Grand Slam she never won with Henin retired and the Williams sisters, Venus and Serena, eliminated.

Who knew that Sharapova will fall to fellow Russian, No.13 Dinara Safina? I guess 13 wasn’t so lucky for the new world No.1 after all eh?

Dinara Safina took advantage of Sharapova’s mistakes. While Sharapova was letting every single bit of her lead slip away, Safina continued to work her way back into the match. And after Sharapova collapsed to a 6-7 (6), 7-6 (5), 6-2 loss to the world No.13, majority of the male audience watching the latest tournament on clay, began switching channels.

Obviously, the lovely Russian siren was…

The contenders for the French Open title are slowly coming out.

With 32 players left in the 2008 French Open at Roland Garros, 16 brave men and women will battle it out at the clay courts of Paris, trying to win the second of four Grand Slam titles of the tennis calendar year.

The premier clay court tennis tournament in the world inches closer to its conclusion as the 4th round of the 2008 French Open begins. Starting off with the men’s division, key match-ups like the one between defending champion Rafael Nadal and fellow country man Fernando Verdasco happens in the last 16, looking to add more excitement to the biggest tournament in tennis before Wimbledon.

Other featured games inlcude Jérémie Chardy of France going up against Nicolas Almagro of Spain, while Paul-Henri Mathieu is scheduled to meet up and coming superstar Novak Djokovic.

Of course, one of the biggest matches of the round belongs to world No.1 Roger Federer, when he takes center court against Julien Benneteau.

In the women’s division, this year will mark a new champion for the class after Justine Henin retired from the sport. She could’ve become the only woman in the Open Era to win four consecutive French Open titles.

Some of the last 16 match-ups for the women’s group are composed of…

Yep, it seems losing in the first round won’t ruin the way tennis fans look at the young, 23-year-old, tennis player.

After Serena Williams quickly took care of business, eliminating young Ashley Harkleroad from the 2008 French Open at Roland Garros with a 6-2, 6-1 annihilation, it turns out that Harkleroad already has other stuff to keep her preoccupied.

Apparently, Ashley Harkleroad, ranked no.61 in the world, will be appearing in the August edition of Playboy magazine. Yep, you read it people, you’ll see that 23-year-old American ass in its full glory on Playboy. Whew! We can’t wait to see it.

And while I’ll probably curse the day I see Serena Williams on a two-page spread in the said magazine, (eww…) Harkleroad on Playboy makes sense. After all, she does have one of the hottest asses to ever run around the clay courts of this year’s French Open tournament.

The only question now is, is her ass hotter than the hot and sexy Maria Sharapova?

Harkleroad, after other female athletes like Olympic swimmer Amanda Beard and former volleyball star Gabrielle Reese also posed for Playboy, is excited about the fact that it’s now…

After round number one, we already have the first unfortunate casualty at Roland Garros.

And in case you have absolutely no idea what the 2008 French Open is, it is the SECOND Grand Slam of the tennis calendar year. And because it is the only Grand Slam tournament played on clay compared to the three other Grand Slams in Australia, Wimbledon and the United States, which is played on grass, the French Open has this ‘’unique'’ feeling to it.

Entering the first round of this year’s clay court war, we already saw one seeded hottie taking an abrupt exit. It was Nicole Vaidisova. Seeded no.15, Vaidisova became the first seeded player at Roland Garros to be eliminated from the 2008 French Open.

Ironically, the one that got her sweet little ass eliminated was someone she calls as her best friend, Iveta Benesova. Benesova advances to the next round, eliminating Vaidisova 7-6 (2), 6-1.

After reaching the fourth round of the 2008 Australian Open, Nicole Vaidisova has now lost six straight matches. And for a hottie like that, watching her go out this quickly was painful.

‘’It’s always hard to play your best friend,'’ 19-year-old Nicole Vaidisova said.

As for Iveta Benesova? Playing her best friend was really not that hard for her. Then again, maybe this girl simply just had no remorse whatsoever…

We’re only DAYS AWAY from the latest tennis tournament on clay.

And for all ya’ll who didn’t get that, I’m talking about the 2008 French Open at Roland Garros. The French Open is considered to be the most physically demanding tennis tournament in the world. It will run from May 25 to June 8 in one of the most romantic cities in the world, Paris.

The French Open is second of the Grand Slam tournaments on the annual tennis calendar and the premier clay court tennis tournament in the world. It is one of the most prestigious events in tennis and around 15 thousand tennis aficionados have already booked their seats to see the live action.

Both the men’s and women’s French Open defending champions for the singles event are vying for a fourth consecutive victory.

Men’s division’s defending French Open champion, Rafael Nadal, and his female counterpart, Belgian Justine Henin will try to mark their names into French Open history if they succeed in winning the French Open crown for the fourth straight time. Only the legendary Bjorn Borg and Suzanne Lenglen, with four consecutive titles apiece, stand firmly in the way of the current champions.

Tennis players like Pete Sampras, who won fourteen Grand Slam singles titles…

We do.

But unfortunately, the hot and sexy Maria Sharapova doesn’t want to take part in any photo shoot whatsoever lately. So much for the latest Sharapova panty shot eh? Yep, we still love them Russian panties alright.

Sharapova is being threatened by the WTA Tour that they will fine her sweet little ass for a whopping $300,000 or more if she doesn’t flaunt her Russian ass in a promotional photo session for the 2008 Italian Open in Rome on May 12.

With the 2008 French Open at Roland Garros just around the corner, this is definitely bad news for all ya’ll Frenchies expecting to see more of Maria Sharapova plastered around your town. After all, what’s better than having Sharapova’s panties promoting the biggest tennis tournament on clay right?

Expectedly, Sharapova is a little bit irate when she heard the news. But after releasing this statement, it looks like the sexy Russian sex goddess ain’t giving in to the request.

‘’They want me to do this shoot on Sunday, Monday or Tuesday of the…'’
