Miscellany

It generally takes a while (well, a long time) for researchers to get around to studying females instead of extrapolating onto us the results of studies using male subjects. Here is a very interesting, and useful, study about female athletes, carbohydrates and proteins.

This is from the New York Times Wimbledon Straight Sets blog, and is a nice tribute to Julie Ditty from her former coach, Geoff MacDonald.

Here is a new profile of Alison Riske (via Zoo Tennis).

Who would play Bethanie Mattek-Sands in a biopic of the Fed Cup star?

Maria Sharapova and Yanina Wickmayer will be doubles partners in Stanford.
