Excerpt: Sorana Mihaela Cîrstea, (Romanian pronunciation: ; born 7 April 1990) is a Romanian tennis player. Her career high rank was World No. 23, achieved on 17 August 2009, after she reached the quarterfinals of the 2009 French Open and the semifinals of the 2009 Los Angeles Open. Cîrstea has a neat, controlled style that minimises mistakes. According to the Tennis Spy, she does not appear to be fast around the court, but actually is deceptively quick covering the ground with her long strides and good reading of the game. As a good doubles player, she is also a very solid volleyer, and also has solid groundstrokes. Forehand and backhands are delivered with plenty of zip and punch, whipping through the ball quickly on both sides. Cîrstea seems lacking a little when it comes to delivering the final blow: in her thirdround defeat to Victoria Azarenka at the 2009 Wimbledon Championships, for example, she dominated the first set but was unable find the crucial points to wrap things up, and lost in a tiebreak. Despite her competence at the net, she often seems to lack the confidence to charge in and take control of the point. Cîrstea was born to Mihai and Liliana in Bucharest, but currently resides in Târgovite. She also has a brother, Mihnea, five years her junior. Cîrstea was introduced to tennis at age of four by mother, "My mum and dad have always followed tennis and they encouraged me to start playing the sport when I was young. They're the reason I started to play tennis and I guess they are the ones I should thank for getting me into it". She cited Steffi Graf and Roger Federer as her idols. Cîrstea speaks Romanian, English and Spanish, and is improving her French. Her good friends on the WTA Tour include Caroline Wozniacki, Sabine Lisicki, Maria...

Product Description
Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Mark Knowles (born September 4, 1971 in Nassau, Bahamas) is a professional male tennis player from the Bahamas. He was awarded All American honors at UCLA in both singles and doubles. His highest singles ranking on the ATP was World No. 93. He has been very successful in doubles partnering with Canadian Daniel Nestor. The pair have won the 2002 Australian Open, the 2004 U.S. Open, and the 2007 French Open. He also won the 2009 Wimbledon mixed doubles title with Anna-Lena Grönefeld of Germany. Mark is known for his "quick hands and unbelievable volleys". On July 5, 2006, Knowles participated in the longest match in Wimbledon history, lasting 6 hours and 9 minutes. Knowles has also played singles and doubles for the Bahamas Davis Cup team for more than 13 years and he is a five-time Olympian. He annually holds his highly regarded charity tournament on Paradise Island, off his home island of New Providence, from which all proceeds go to local children's charities. The Mark Knowles Celebrity Tennis Invitational debuted in 2001 and it is attended by many great players such as Andre Agassi and James Blake, Jim Courier, Tommy Haas and The Bryan Brothers. Knowles was elected (by his peers) as Vice President of the ATP and was selected to be on the ATP Drug Force Council. His longterm partnership with Daniel Nestor ended after the 2007 U.S. Open. Nestor decided it was time to try playing with a new partner. Knowles was expected to play with former Grand Slam champion in doubles Mahesh Bhupathi in the fall but Bhupathi is out until the end of the year due to back surgery. Knowles partnered with Nestor once again, and won the 2007 Tennis Masters Cup. They defeated Simon Aspelin and Julian Knowle 63, 62 to take their first Tennis Masters Cup title. This...
