Jennifer Capriati

Jennifer Capriati, The Florida home of former professional tennis sensation Jennifer Capriati is on the market for $2.1 million; it was first listed in 2008 for $2.35 million.

Located in Wesley Chapel, about 40 minutes outside of Tampa, Capriati’s home is part of the Saddlebrook Resort community, which is known as a haven for developing tennis and golf talent.

Capriati’s two-story, custom-built contemporary is on one acre and has a pool, plus hot tub. Views include a lake, plus one of Saddlebrook’s two championship golf courses. It has four bedrooms and five bathrooms, a personal theater, where first-run movies can be shown and a unique drive-through garage. See more photos of Capriati’s house.

Saddlebrook residents have access to 500 acres of recreation, including two championship golf courses, 48 tennis courts, a European spa, fitness center, three restaurants and three swimming pools.

Capriati turned pro just weeks before her 14th birthday in 1990 and became the youngest player to ever reach a tour final that same year. After taking two years off due to personal issues, she executed one of sport’s greatest comebacks by winning three Grand Slam titles — the Australian Open (twice) and French Open.

Three-Time Grand Slam Champion Maria Sharapova,Davydenko Out Of Miami

MIAMI : Three-time Grand Slam champion Maria Sharapova will miss the Sony Ericsson Open, as will women’s world number two Dinara Safina and 2008 men’s champion Nikolay Davydenko, organizers said Wednesday.

The Miami tournament is the second of prestigious back-to-back hardcourt tournaments in the United States, coming immediately after this week’s event at Indian Wells, California.

Sharapova, who won the WTA title in Memphis in February, had been slated to play in Miami for the first time since 2007.

But an MRI exam on the sore right elbow that hindered her as she made a third-round exit in Indian Wells showed a bone bruise that is likely to sideline the Russian for three to six weeks.

Safina, a three-time Grand Slam finalist, remains sidelined by the back injury that forced her out of the Australian Open.

Davydenko is out with a broken left wrist. He had played one match at Indian Wells and then pulled out after an MRI revealed the wrist he injured in Rotterdam last month was, in fact, fractured.

Xiaxue was accused of making a racist post in December 2005. A netizen started a petition to have the authorities take enforcement action.

In July 2008, blogger Dawn Yang launched a lawsuit against Cheng for allegedly defamatory remarks made in a blog post on June 30.

Vicki Zhao Pregnant

Vicki Zhao Pregnant, The star has been rumoured for a few months (most notably this) to have tied the knot with a Singaporean tycoon last August and is currently pregnant for seven months.

This photo looks suspicious though. I’m guessing that it was from some film shooting instead of real life; she’s probably holding a script there.

Zhao has never responded officially to the rumours, but there’s the fact that she has not made any public appearance since late 2009, even missing out on the promo events for movie 14 Blades which premiered last month.

There’s also another rumour that she is indeed married but unfortunately dumped in just months… in which her manager has responded as absolutely ridiculous.
