 Full details and photos at blog.tenniswire.org

Sony Ericsson Open Stadium Court Electric purple courts traded traditional for trendy. Clean, airy grounds enabled a relaxing, open feeling for gathering with friends and family. The Who's Who of spectators read like Entertainment Weekly with golfer and Federer-friend Tiger Woods, hip-hopper Ludacris, singer Gloria Estefan, supermodel Naomi Campbell, and others in box seats. Five fashion shows were put on by top designers. Even the portable toilets were well-appointed in beautiful trailers with wood trim on the interior.

None of it was by chance.

 USTA's Latest Star to Debut at Wimbledon
 Full details at blog.tenniswire.org

Prince of Tennis Like all players scouted and developed by the USTA, this one carries the hopes of raising awareness about American tennis to spur the game's popularity.

And while she was stationed in the back courts of the Sony Ericsson Open, this future star stayed put as the likes of Rafael Nadal, Andy Roddick, Maria Sharapova, and to hang around.

 Tennis goes pop! Juicy, anyone?
 Cool evidence of tennis in mainstream culture

Juicy, anyone? track jacket Tennis has been fashionable off-court for some time. From men's deep V-neck cable- knit sweaters and the clean look of white-on-white Tretorns, to pleated mini-mini- skirts.

As the sport's mass appeal wavered from the apex of the '70s, so did his apparel appeal. But it's back!

As noted in the previous edition of the bulletin, K-Swiss' expansion into streetwear put tennis shoes into a new demographic, and now brat-tastic Juicy Couture's produced a few items.

Spotted at Gate 21 in Newark Airport was a 30-something mother sporting a navy version of this track jacket. Juicy, anyone?

The brand's edgy glam stylings also include a "Beach Tennis" bathing ensemble, available at Bloomingdales.com.

Beach Tennis. Hmm, that brand really gets it!
