Shock news. Kim Clijsters has announced her immediate retirement from professional tennis! Kim had been planning to retire towards the end of the season when she was getting married to her fiancé, basketball player Brian Lynch. She had a number of tournaments still on her schedule including a final Grand Slam appearance at Wimbledon. But now she claims that a run of injuries have forced her to call it a day earlier than expected. I was never a big fan of Kim Clijsters. Her goody-two-shoes persona was never particularly appealing to me and she used to put the smack down on a number of my favorite players on a regular basis. But I can acknowledge that she was a fantastic player who in my opinion has failed to live up to her potential. She only won one Slam, the US Open 2005, but it seemed to me that once she had that elusive Slam win she was never as motivated again. She could have racked up the big titles but perhaps in the later stages of tournaments she lacked the killer instinct - maybe she's just too nice? I feel sorry for her fans who wanted this amazing farewell tour to continue but at the end of the day Kim's gotta put her own interests first.

Last year Arena did a separate supplement covering VSFS'05 and they had at least one photo of everyone in the show. Bit disappointed that there's no good Jeisa photo in this GQ. They mainly focus on the Angels and everyone else barely gets a look in.

Miranda Kerr
Loving the videos posted recently. Thanks to Cypress and Maudinette. I think Miranda really does deserve Angel status if it's gonna happen. I've thought for a long time that she seems a perfect fit for VS. I think it's called Go For It Girl by Josh Abrahams aka Puretone.

The Battle of the Surfaces is over! Nadal bt. Federer 7-5 4-6 7-6 (12-10) Apparently the quality of the grass wasn't so good. According to Eurosport: "The organisers had experienced problems with the grass side of the court after the original turf had failed to cope with the indoor location and then fell victim to a plague of worms. As a result they decided to lay a brand new surface the night before the clash, transporting in 400 square metres of putting green grass from a local golf club supplier."

Football
It's cos we're all off crying into our beers. Milan really went for it and Man U were seriously lacking. Well I hope Liverpool will kick some butt in the final. I don't mind an English club winning as long as it's not Chelsea.

Barcelona was Rafa's 20th title and he extended his consecutive clay court wins to 72! During his winning streak he's beaten Roger 5 times. I don't think you could ever say Roger is unlucky in his draws. He met an inspired Canas and should have won against him in Miami. Nadal employs the perfect tactics against him on clay so his real struggle is neutralising that. There's a couple more Masters events before Roland Garros where they could meet. But you don't have to wait that long! On Wednesday Roger (King of Grass) and Rafa (Clay Court Master) play an exhibition match in Mallorca with a bit of a twist. The court has been specially built: it's grass on one side and clay on the other! The Battle of the Surfaces. Click the link: BBC Sport I don't think they're televising this here but I expect it will crop up on Youtube.

If Gisele leaves, who do you think the next VS angel will be
Miranda for sure. I think she has a wide appeal, she's prominent on the VS website and she did great at VSFS'06. Plus she did that video diary on CBS.com which proved she can hawk the merchandise - part and parcel of being an angel. Ana BB probably deserves a long service award but if they didn't make her an angel already I don't think they will.

These are smaller versions of the ones I posted a week ago. Perhaps I should have tagged them as they seem to have come around again. They're not scans btw. I extracted them from the DKNY website and edited in Photoshop.
