^ A defeat is always disappointing but it being her first tournament for months I personally didn't have high hopes for a victory. She just isnt "match ready" to take on the might of Serena "Got to visit the bamboo garden in Brisbane"

Was totally and utterly enthralled by both films. So much so I am now reading the books

Maria out of Brisbane Maria's run at the Brisbane International is over as she lost 2-6 6-7 to no.1 seed Serena Williams of the United States in the semis. The match lasted an hour and 43 minutes. When the new WTA rankings are released on Monday, Maria will up one spot to no.3.

Someone really should have told them that they are standing in the wrong order Really looking forward to seeing it though

Haha. According to Adam, when he told Behati about his new "title" she laughed out loud in his face. Why is it that I can perfectly imagine this and wouldn't expect anything else from Behati? hahaha Yeah I heard that somewhere too. Guess this is because we don't see him scratching hiss arse

^ Thanks for the post....so gorgeous!! Her interviews with Craig are the best

If only

^ Wonderful movie

The world decides to shoot Tupac and Biggie but leaves us with the likes of Justin and Kanye - Because THAT MAKES SENSE On a side note, why do we still continue with animal testing when we have millions of Justin fans

Completely agree with you Divine...I don’t think anyone is necessarily criticizing Ed or the men on staff, just stating the obvious. I'll grudgingly third that Just got this image of a bunch of guys in the corner desperately trying to come up with a reason to be involved in process

Was just wondering if we could have a feature where the emotions are categorised in the order we use them the most? Find it rather irritating having to scroll and search for them. Especially when some of the most popular emotions are 4/5 pages down?

Sharapova vs Garcia 2014 Brisbane Highlights

Maria Sharapova returns from injury with win at Brisbane International • The No3 seed defeats Caroline Garcia 6-3, 6-0 in first round Every point mattered for Maria Sharapova in her competitive comeback from injury, as she beat 74th-ranked Caroline Garcia of France 6-3, 6-0 in the first-round of the Brisbane International on Monday. Sharapova ripped forehand winners and nullified her rival's biggest weapon with consistently aggressive service returns. She chased down balls to turn up the tempo when she was behind in two games in the second set and celebrated break points with triple fist pumps, even when the result was well beyond doubt. The four-time grand slam winner had played only one match following an early exit at Wimbledon and had not competed since pulling out of the US Open in August because of a shoulder injury. She showed no signs of soreness in advancing to the second round in her only warm-up event for the Australian Open. "It's been four months … [so] it was a big step for me. It was a big step to come and a big step to play out there," Sharapova said, adding that she was pain-free and feeling good. "These matches are what I came here for. No matter the opponent or the situation, you know, they're really priceless for me at this point and extremely important." The No3 seed hit 26 winners and kept the unforced errors to 10, hitting six aces and only one double-fault – immediately after a backhand winner down the line had given her triple match point. She will now face the 17-year-old Australian qualifier Ashleigh Barty, who beat 2012 Brisbane finalist Daniela Hantuchova 6-3, 7-5.
