Anna Kournikova's Sin City Scuffle

2009-06-30T14:27:00.000-07:00

Things got ugly for Anna Kournikova at an afterparty in Vegas on Saturday night.
The former tennis champ attended the HardBat Classic Ping-Pong tournament earlier, where she refused to play.
"She wouldn't play Ping-Pong because she was really scared that she was going to be bad," a source tells E! News.

Later on, around 2:30 a.m. at Lavo, a guest spilled a drink on Anna's assistant, leading to a shoving and screaming match between her and Anna.
Anna didn't come away unscathed...
"She had some scratches, but I think she was just more embarrassed," a source says of the scuffle, adding that paramedics weren't called. "They were both drunk."
Despite the incident, a source says Anna was never asked to leave the club.

Wimbledon-Williams sisters head for familiar final tussle

2009-06-29T21:29:00.000-07:00

LONDON, June 30 (Reuters) - Sisters Venus and Serena Williams will go into Tuesday’s quarter-finals increasingly confident of setting up a fourth family showdown in the Wimbledon final.

Five-times Wimbledon winner Venus has ground to make up, having lost twice here to Serena in 2002 and 2003 before enjoying success in the 2008 showpiece.

Third seed Venus, consigned to Court One for the second day in a row despite being defending champion, faces Polish 11th seed Agnieszka Radwanska having won the last three of her four encounters with the Pole.

Opening on Centre Court will be Russian top seed Dinara Safina, who will enjoy her second consecutive day in the limelight against unseeded German Sabine Lisicki, despite not having yet won a grand slam title.

Serena will follow Safina as the American continues her quest for an 11th grand slam title against eighth seed Victoria Azarenka of Belarus.

Serena, who destroyed Slovakia’s Daniela Hantuchova on Monday, will be looking for revenge having lost to Azarenka in this year’s Miami final.

Last up on Court One is unseeded Francesca Schiavone of Italy who plays Russian fourth seed and serial grand slam semi-finalist Elena Dementieva.

Dementieva has reached the semi-final at every grand slam event including three at Wimbledon in 2000, 2005 and 2008 and is tied 4-4 in her head-to-head record with Schiavone.

U.S. Open: Rain won't go away, First round is barely gets started

2009-06-18T12:30:00.000-07:00

The first round of the United States Open at Bethpage greeted golfers with waves of heavy rain and gusts of wind Thursday morning, turning the job of hitting golf shots and holding golf umbrellas into a perilous enterprise.
Play was suspended at 10:16 a.m. Thursday in the hope of resuming Thursday afternoon, but then suspended for the day just before 2 p.m. with more than an inch of rain soaking the course.

The first round of the U.S. Open started Thursday. It won't end until at least Friday, thanks to more rain than Bethpage Black could handle.

Making greens look like swimming pools and creating streams on many fairways, rain pounded an already-waterlogged course Thursday and prompted a stoppage less than 3½ hours after play began. The United States Golf Association had its fingers crossed for a "three- to five-hour" window for competition in the afternoon.

But the rain did not let up and the round was officially postponed at approximately 2 p.m. The first round will resume at 7:30 a.m. Friday.

"Where's my canoe," mused Ian Poulter on his Twitter feed during the delay.

Oh, and while Friday's forecast isn't as bad, more rain is possible. Reports USToday online.

The National Weather Service said up to 2 inches of rain was possible during the day. "The volume of rain falling was outpacing our ability to squeegee the greens," Hyler said, as rain pelted the tent he was standing in, a constant, ominous pitter-patter. "That was the bottom line. The greens just became unplayable and we needed to suspend."
