Saturday, May 28, 2011
Which player would you choose…
To share a good bottle of wine with?
(Thinks for a while) Mika Llodra, he knows his stuff.
To take to your favourite restaurant?
Kei Nishikori, because my favourite restaurant is Minori in Paris. It's a great Japanese restaurant. I'll show him that French sushi is better than Japanese sushi (laughs).
To accompany you to the Cannes film festival?
Ana Ivanovic. She would be great arm candy.
To play in a film with?
David Ferrer. He'd play Forrest in Forrest Gump, and I'd play Bubba, his shrimp fishing friend.
To go out on the town with in Las Vegas?
La Monf' (Gaël Monfils), no question about it.
To play in a band with?
Dustin Brown, that would be great. We'd make beautiful reggae.
As master of ceremonies for your wedding?
Novak Djokovic, he would be great at that.
To take to a football match?
Jurgen Melzer. I played football with him in the United States, and he's really good. He loves it.
To go and see stand-up comedy with?
Andy Roddick.
To take fishing?
Rafael Nadal.
To open a bar with?
Marat Safin. Once night falls he's the guy to hang around with.

Asia Pinned Down In Vegas Final
Sunday, March 9, 2008
The lights are still shining bright in Las Vegas, Nevada, but they dimmed, just a bit on the game of one of its daughters, American Asia Muhammad.
Asia waged a beautiful tournament. She was given a wildcard and she made the most of it. Today Asia's run at the Las Vegas Hilton Cup was stopped by Frenchwoman Camille Pin. Camille defeated Asia 6-4, 6-1.
In the first set Asia fought as hard as she could, and she gave as good as she got from Pin. With quite a bit more experience on her side, Pin was able to prevail. Unfortunately it was d
own hill from there. Asia very simply ran out of steam. She wasn't able to put up the fight that had been serving her so well all week.
It's just a matter of time, she'll get her sea legs.
Asia's mom and dad, Ron and Faye Muhammad sat in the stands alongside her coach, and not too far from her mentor, the great Andre Agassi.
When asked whether she realized that Andre Agassi was in attendance today, Asia said "I did not, I wasn't trying to look into the stands, especially in the second set."
Asia Acquires Vegas Final
Saturday, March 8, 2008
In the semifinals of the USTA Pro Circuit Las Vegas Hilton Cup today, sixteen year old American Asia Muhammad took another step forward and is now in the final.
Asia defeated fellow American Madison Brengle 6-3, 7-5 and will now face Frenchwoman Camille Pin in the final tomorrow.
In the post match interview Asia was asked about Andre Agassi being a part of her career and how that impacts her personally and professionally, "Ammm, it's great, he actually was going to try to make it today, but I don't know if it could fit in his schedule. But he's such a nice guy, he's like," 'You know, I don't want to come cause I don't want to jinx her, or I don't want to make her nervous.' "You know, I like having him here, I don't really like look at the stands but, it would have been great if he could make it, maybe he can make it tomorrow."
Well, we'll be there with you tomorrow Asia, even it is by way of cable. Good Luck!!
