It was revealed today that Barbie has unveiled a one-of-a-kind doll in honor of Kim Clijsters and her daugther, Jada.

She is the first female athlete to be immortalized by the world's leading doll brand. Check out this blog for more info here. 

How many of you want to get this doll? I would definitely get it for my neices. I wish someone would make a doll in my honor. That would be great.

I wonderful if they will make one of Justine Henin. Apparently, the spokesperson of Barbie said that Clijsters represented what , the inventor of Barbie, said "My whole philosophy of Barbie is that through the doll, a little girl could be anything she wants to be. Barbie always represents the fact that a woman has choices."

If you were like most Americans this past Sunday, you were probably glued to the t.v. watching the Superbowl. It was an amazing battle between the New Orleans Saints and the Indianapolis Colts. But if you are a tennis fan like the rest of here at Tennis Now, then you probably noticed when the broadcasters
mentioned that New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees once had beaten Andy Roddick.

Roddick's earliest nemesis was Brees:

They were two Texas tykes on an Austin tennis court. The little shaver with the sound strokes, even at the age of 8 or 9, was Andy Roddick. The other kid did not have Roddick's grounding in tennis fundamentals, but how he would compete!

His name was Drew Brees.

“I remember the most annoying thing was that Drew played about twice a week,” Roddick said. “I was hard-core; I was playing every day, every weekend. I could never beat the guy.”

Which is not how Brees remembers it. The Chargers quarterback said when he was opposing Roddick, who was three years his junior, he always was aware that one day, the little guy across the net would beat him. Finally, as Brees recalls, he did.

“I think it was the last tournament I played,” Brees said. “I had beaten him something like 6-2, 6-0 the first time I played him, and I beat him twice more. He looked so little on the court, but his game was so fundamentally sound and he had such good ground strokes that the only way I could beat him was to serve and volley. I kind of salvaged points here and there.”

Check out this great video of tennis players that look like celebrities. Most of these matches are pretty right on and sometimes a burn. What do you think? Do you think the guy who did the video is pretty spot on?

I found this video from the Tennis Express blog:

US Indie band Vampire Weekend have released a tennis-themed video for their upcoming single “Giving Up the Gun” from their latest album Contra.

The video features cameos by actor Jake Gyllenhaal, Joe Jonas of the Jonas Brothers, rapper Lil Jon, and Rza of the Wu Tang Clan, and the video is already on its way to cult status judging by the 50,000 views.
