Steve Jobs' Impact On Tennis And Player Responses
“RIP Steve Jobs, you revolutionized our way of communication," says Grand-Slam doubles winner, Vania King.
Everyone is grieving the very recent passing of Apple’s creator, Steve Jobs, and people are taking to their favorite social networks like twitter and facebook to record this sad moment in history. Even tennis has been touched by the loss due to the fact that his invention has affected the world on a global scale.
It is a rare person that has not had or heard of the Apple products like the mac computers, iPods, and

iPhones that have come to be a representation of this age of technology.

There are countless amounts of Apple product apps dedicated to Tennis so that no matter where you are in the world you can get tennis coaching, livescores, tournament coverage, and much more. The technological implications of these instant knowledge-based artifacts allow tennis to become more globalized and popular.

Tennis Hall of Fame quoted the innovator and expressed this concept by tweeting, “Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.” #SteveJobs

American player and 27-Grand-Slam champion Serena Williams, who frequently interacts via social media, to take the time to call Jobs an icon.

She tweeted, “Steve Jobs the Thomas Edison of our day. You will be missed but your Legend will Live forever.”

Canada’s top player Milos Raonic quoted President Barrack Obama in his response on twitter, "#SteveJobs was brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it." - Obama"

Serena Williams On Date With Jake Owen
Serena Williams was captured on camera with country-singer Jake Owen leaving a restaurant at Matsuhisa in Beverly Hills on October 7th. The paparazzi made it look like Williams’ has a new flame but it seems that they are “just friends”.
Despite the shocked look on her face, it does not seem the two were trying to keep it private or secretive.

After their date, she tweeted, "@jakeowen had so much fun tonite! Yea can't wait to see concert tomm! Fun time see u tomm/today!!! Lol MardyFish wish u were here!"

According to X17online, the 13-time Slam champion and Owen did not try to sneak out separately, but kept their exit "as low key as possible." The two were not seen holding hands as they exited and all the tweet implies is that she and

Fish are fans or friends of the country star. Although one should note that Fish called out Caroline Wozniacki and Rory McIlroy on their relationship which was real and Fish did the same to Williams.

After seeing the photos and rumors, she tweeted, “Ugh paparazzi annoying. Honestly really? Like I wonder what tomm they will say.”

In 2010, Williams end her relationship with rapper Common but has not been linked to any other beaus since but she insists her relationship with Owen is only friends.

Serena Williams said officially that, “I am not dating Jake Owen. He is a great guy with a super amazing girlfriend. It’s not fair to me to Jake or his girlfriend to say we r dating when u just hang out and have dinner with friends. So stop the lies!!”

Looks like it’s just another scheme of the popular media trying to spin yarn into gold. More important did anyone see that Serena has PURPLE streaks in her hair.... very stylish!
