Bid On Maria's Little Black Dress! Friday, September 15, 2006
The 2006 US Open was not only a showcase of world class tennis, it was also home to a number of fashion statements, none more elegant (or more memorable) than the sleek black tennis dress worn by eventual champion Maria Sharapova throughout the fortnight. Now, fans can bid on this dress on the Russian superstar's official Web site.
From her first round match until the prime time championship final, Sharapova donned the custom-made "little black dress", a Nike design, during her evening matches.
Drawing inspiration from legendary designer Givenchy , the Nike Design team infused elements from the original "little black dress" Audrey Hepburn wore in Breakfast at Tiffany's to create the one-of-a-kind piece. With its empire waistline adorn with a chic black belt and flat bow, the dress incorporates patented Dri-Fit technology, allowing for optimal cooling and maximum comfort, all with Maria's personal style - fun, chic and sophisticated. It also includes a clean collar line embellished with tonal crystal décor, princess seaming, slits at the hemline to allow for mobility and an open back to allow for breathability.
"The inspiration for the night dress was Audrey Hepburn," Sharapova said after her first round US Open victory. "I'm inspired by her. I'm in a phase where I'm watching all her movies. I just thought she was amazing. She wasn't just an actress, she was part of UNICEF ; all the things she did for children in her life. It's classy, it's elegant. I love the neck of it; that was kind of my input towards the design. I'm very excited. It's one of my favorites of the dresses I've ever worn."
Money from the auction will go towards causes supported by the Maria Sharapova Foundation, which is committed to helping "At Risk" children by supporting programs and developing partnerships that help children worldwide realize their potential, initiate change and achieve their dreams.
"I grew up wanting to be a tennis player, and never knew if that was going to be a reality," said Sharapova after her third round US Open win. "One of the greatest things about being an athlete and making money is realizing that you can help the world and especially children, who I absolutely love working with."
The dress will be on display at Niketown in New York until Sunday, September 17. The auction will run until Friday, September 22nd. To place your bid, visit Sharapova's auction site by clicking here.

Technical Tennis Book Review Wednesday, September 13, 2006
Tactical TennisTechnical Tennis: Racquets, Strings, Balls, Courts, Spin, and Bounce by Rod Cross & Crawford Lindsay (Racquet Tech Publishing)
True or false: Lower string tension produces more power; lighter racquets travel faster and have more power; thinner-gauge strings create more spin;
a long follow-through keeps the ball on the strings longer for more power and control.
They're all false. Surprised? I was too. These and other equipment-related myths are deconstructed in Technical Tennis, by Rod Cross, an associate professor of physics at the University of Sydney, Australia, and Crawford Lindsey, the editor-in-chief of Racquet Sports Industry magazine. In it Cross and Lindsey cover just about everything you could ever want to know about the physics and technology of tennis. Whether it's strings, racquets, balls, or spin, they break down the science of it all using ordinary language and clear writing; you won't have to run to the dictionary every other sentence. What's more, at four chapters and 160 pages long, you can read it in an afternoon.
After reading Technical Tennis I couldn't help but wonder why this book wasn't written decades ago. It should be a staple reference volume on every serious tennis player's bookshelf. And it should be required reading for everyone in the tennis-equipment industry as well as every instructor and coach on the planet.
