Chrstina McHale has defeated former WTA #1 Caroline Wozniacki for the second time, this time on grass in Eastbourne, in three sets. Earlier this week Caro says she believes she can win Wimbledon. This result will not help her momentum.
David Nalbandian snapped in the final of Queens, in what has to be one of the most outrageous displays of court craziness, when he kicked a piece of ad wood that busted the shin of a linesman, drawing blood. Continue to read full article...
