Martina Hingis Biography & Pictures 2010

Martina Hingis (born 30 September 1980 in Košice, Slovakia, then Czechoslovakia) is a former Swiss professional tennis player who spent a total of 209 weeks as World No. 1. She won five Grand Slam singles titles (three Australian Opens, one Wimbledon, and one US Open). She also won nine Grand Slam women's doubles titles, winning a calendar year doubles Grand Slam in 1998, and one Grand Slam mixed doubles title.
Hingis set a series of "youngest-ever" records before ligament injuries in both ankles forced her to withdraw temporarily from professional tennis in 2002 at the age of 22. After several surgeries and long recuperations, Hingis returned to the WTA tour in 2006. She then climbed to world number 6 and won three singles titles. On 1 November 2007, Hingis announced her retirement from tennis while admitting she had tested positive for cocaine during Wimbledon in 2007. She denied using the drug. On 4 January 2008, she was banned from tennis for two years after both cocaine tests (samples A and B) tested positive. She has stated that she will not return to professional tennis when this ban expires.

Marion Jones Top Pictures 2010

Marion Lois Jones (born October 12, 1975), also known as Marion Jones-Thompson, is a former world champion track and field athlete. She won five medals at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia but has since agreed to forfeit all medals and prizes dating back to September 2000 after admitting that she took performance-enhancing drugs.
In October 2007, Jones admitted taking steroids before the Sydney 2000 Summer Olympics and acknowledged that she had, in fact, lied when she previously denied steroid use in statements to the press, to various sports agencies, and—most significantly—to two grand juries. One was impaneled to investigate the BALCO "designer steroid" ring, and the other was impaneled to investigate a check fraud ring involving many of the same parties from the BALCO case. As a result of these admissions, Jones accepted a two-year suspension from track and field competition, and announced her retirement from track and field on October 5, 2007.

Jeremy Chardy Top Pics 2010

We saw Rafa Nadal beaten by the unlikely figure of Juan Martin Del Potro and the decline of Roger Federer continued in spectacular fashion with one of the most memorable racket smashes of 2009.
Add to that Novak Djokovic’s mini-resurgence with surely one of the most fortunate runs to a Masters final in recent memory and Andy Murray’s sublime displays at times and you have quite a tournament on the East Coast.
This week promises something quite different as the clay court swing begins with ATP 250 events in Marrakech and Houston.
Both tournaments look extremely tough to call, but the Houston event appears to hold the most promise as far as betting is concerned.
Although a red dirt event, this one has something for the bigger hitters, as recent wins for Ivo Karlovic, Mardy Fish and Andy Roddick confirms.

Favourite and top seed in Houston is world number 14 James Blake, who reached the final here 12 months ago, losing to Marcel Granollers, but Blake is is no sort of form at the moment and appears at the age of 29 to be sliding uncontrollably down the rankings.
With a distinctly average eight wins to five losses ratio so far this season and never having emerged victorious from Houston in eight starts, Blake is certainly lay material at around 6.5.
The other seeded players in the American’s half of the draw offer more appeal including the likes of Maximo Gonzalez (26.0), who has had some decent results on the South American challenger circuit this year including a win in Santiago last month.
The Argentinean is one for the short list, although this is his tournament debut and no South American has won this since Fernando Gonzalez in 2000.
