Tennis Terracotta Warriors

The 2007 Tennis Master Cup event in Shanghai had a unique promotional event... The idea was to create a series of Tennis Terracotta Warriors sculptures of the then top eight ATP ranked players qualified to play the tournament.

The eight Tennis Terracotta Warriors created in 2007 were of:
Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Andy Roddick
Nikolay Davydenko, Richard Gasquet, Fernando Gonzalez and David Ferrer

 

The final image of Tennis Terracotta Warriors released by the ATP of the 8 "best of the best" tennis players in the world

Andy Murray failed to end Britain's near 75-year drought in men's singles Grand Slams. The last British man to win a Grand Slam singles title was Fred Perry at the 1936 US Open.. quite a while back.. Hope his chance comes pretty soon...

Kim Clijsters - 2011 Australian Open Women's Champion

Belgian tennis star Kim Clijsters won the Australian Open women's grand slam title for the first time defeating Li Na of China 3-6, 6-3, 6-3.

In her victory speech, Clijsters touched on the loss of her father two years ago, the delight of snaring her first Australian Open and even mentioned the Melbourne dentist who fixed her chipped tooth two weeks ago.
But it was embracing her "Aussie Kim" nickname that locals will remember. She has been stuck with the tag despite the end to her five-year relationship with Lleyton Hewitt seven years ago.

"Now I feel you guys can call me 'Aussie Kim' because I won the title," Clijsters said.
