All things Tennis. One slice at a time.
There were so many fantastic photos throughout the year. Kudos to the amazing photographers who captured these special moments through their lenses, whether through thousand-dollar cameras or a smartphone. Here are my picks for the Top 12 Most Memorable Photos of the year:
Honorable Mention – Arrested Credentialment: If I didn’t know any better, I would [...]
A hug is a sign of love, friendship, admiration or sympathy. A hug needs no translation – it doesn’t matter what language you speak, you know what it means. We saw a lot of hugs this year that we’ll never forget. They came at times when often words just wouldn’t do the trick and the [...]
In the hundreds of matches played this year, there were just as many wins. Some were by walkover, some by retirement, but the most memorable often come when a title is won, a trophy is lifted, a dream is realized and history is made. Here are the top 12 most memorable wins of the year:

There are no tennis memories without tennis matches, which can’t take place without a court! So much happened this year in hundreds – thousands – of matches. Here are 12 of the most memorable on-court moments of the year:

Team Murray did some posing with Andy’s hard-earned US Open Trophy in New York City Today. First, mum Judy, and then the boys – Daniel Vallverdu, Andy Ireland and Jez Green. Mr. Lendl and Kim Sears weren’t pictured but neither were the tons of people behind the scenes who help Andy every day. Big win [...]
No time to be sheepish in Sheep Meadow as Andy Murray has been on a whirlwind press tour this morning after his epic win last night at the US Open. Andy made a new friend – Matthew Perry (aka Chandler Bing from Friends), and also made appearances on Kelly and Michael, NBC’s Today Show and CBS [...]

Serena Williams took her fourth US Open trophy for a spin around the city this morning in New York City. After appearances on morning talk shows, Serena visited Central Park to stand tall on a giant rock in some extremely high heels. Careful! Luckily, if she were to fall, she’s friends with the FDNY, [...]
Serena Williams defeated Victoria Azarenka 6-2, 2-6, 7-5 to win the 2012 US Open – her 4th US Open title and her 15th Grand Slam title overall.
