So the rumors of Bethanie Mattek's marriage to JPS Insurance President Justin Sands are true and you know what? Here are the pics to prove it!

Thanks to Stephanie Myles who reported Bethanie Mattek's wedding we are able to see some pictures from Bethanie's big day... I like the dress somehow but I don't like her hair...

The intimate wedding of just 40 guests in attendance consisted of friends and family who... Read Full Story
The Williams bandwagon rolls on. After Venus coasted to a straight
sets victory over Alisa Kleybanova, her sister Serena followed her onto
No. 2 court and made light work of Bethanie Mattek, brushing aside her
fellow American 6-3, 6-3. A repeat of the 2002 and 2003 all-Williams
finals is still very much on course. Mattek’s presence this deep
into a Grand Slam tournament came as something of a surprise,
particularly in the light of her ranking less than three months ago
when she was... Read Full Story
Here are two things I haven't written about in a while: Nicole Vaidisova + Reebok . Why you may ask? Well, Nicole had been on a 6-match losing streak and Reebok hasn't been worth writing about until now. The Czech finally broke the curse with a 6-1, 6-3 first round win over Frenchie veteran Natalie Dechy at Birmingham and won her next match against Ekaterina Makarova to to make the quarterfinals. But, alas, the good times weren't meant to last as Nicole was blasted today 6-3, 6-0 by... Read Full Story

Bethanie Mattek just launched a new website featuring all the usual stuff we've come to expect from B (read: bad hair, worse fashion). It's good to see her back on court too after getting married and dealing with injury. However, I'm not loving the red/orange/copper crap dye job at all - icks - though it's not quite a hairy situation yet. But with B I've come to learn to expect the worse but prepare for hilarity. It's just a matter of time. (via Great Tennis Photos , images via bmattek.com... Read Full Story
