Hey, Guys. Pete will be back tomorrow. (And I think he'll record a podcast, so listen for that.) This post is for today's conversation on the tennis goings-on.
By now you've likely read Alisa Kleybanova's message in which she revealed she has Hodgkin's lymphoma. If not you can find it here. The 22-year-old's words (and her smile emoticon at the end) speak for themselves, so I'll leave it at that.
In more upbeat news her countrywoman Elena Dementieva wed long-time boyfriend Maxim Afinogenov in Moscow yesterday. The world knows far more about the festivities than it would if Alla Kudryavtseva weren't on the guestlist. The budding paparazzo tweeted pictures of the couple, the guests, the kiss, even the cake. Wasn't that last one Dinara Safina's responsibility? Anyway the picture of the bride, at right, is courtesy of Kudryavtseva. A few may be wondering how the bride will react upon seeing some of these pictures splashed across the news (especially if she's a bridezilla, though she doesn't seem like she would be). But we enjoyed them, so it's all good? And now it's all yours.
