After a week off from tennis, Valerie was quite excited to start practicing tennis again. Of course, she has to do it in style, which includes wearing everything from a colorful headband to a heart necklace to sparkly shoes. Who knows, maybe she'll be a better player because of them :)

A lean, mean tennis machine!

Tennis 101
Today will be the first day that Valerie will step on the court for tennis lessons. Her interest in the sport is not too strong, so I figured putting her in an atmosphere with other toddlers learning tennis may help peak her interest. Let's see if the old saying "monkey see, monkey do" holds true in this case. So far, mommey loves shopping, Valerie loves shopping. Aunt Kat likes art, Valerie likes coloring. So, daddy enjoys tennis, Val enjoys tennis? Hahaha, only time will tell.

Former Miss Universe 2005 Natalie Glebova will marry tennis player Paradorn Srichaphan. Don't they make a lovely couple? In record-breaking news, Rafael Nadal records his 72nd consecutive victory on clay court. Man, does Roger Federer even have a prayer of beating him in the French Open? One can only hope, one can only hope...

Tennis racquet search
I've been a loyal user of Wilson Hammer tennis racquets for many years now, but with all the new tennis technologies offered by Wilson's competitors lately, I'm tempted to switch. Frankly, I'm not that enticed by Wilson's current line of racquets. Maybe it's because their latest line of racquets (nCode) doesn't have the same ring as their old ones (Hammer/Hyper Hammer). Here's a rundown of my options:
-Wilson nCoded racquets – stronger, more stable, and more powerful than ordinary racquets
-Prince O3 racquets – larger sweetspot, faster swing speed, better maneuverability, and greater stability
-Head Flexpoint racquets – power with ultimate control
-Head Liquidmetal racquets – more comfort, total sweetspot construction, and power and energy built into the racquet head
That last phrase, "power and energy built into the racquet head," made me chuckle, and if it's anything like the T-1000 model, I'll take it.
