The Latest Tennis News Roundup

Andre Agassi is planning to play at Queens Club (the Stella Artois Championships) = the Wimbledon warm-up event.

Somebody got their hands on some of Martina Navratilova's Wimbledon tropies and sold them in an online auction last week. Pro Tennis Fan has the story.

Venus Williams defeats Martina Hingis on Clay in Warsaw. Dave over at No Man's Land reports:

What is this 1999 all over again? Definitely not. Although, I bet both Martina and Venus wish it were.

Playing for the first time since 2002 (Hingis leads the series 10-9), these two former World #1s returned to the battlezone this past Wednesday in the second round of the J&S Cup in Warsaw, Poland. Venus and Martina in the second round? Yup!

Dave Winship at On the Line has the following stories:

• Kim Clijsters wins the J & R Cup in Warsaw
• Jie Zheng and David Nalbandian win the Estoril Open in Portugal.
• Olivier Rochus wins the Munich Open.

World number two Kim Clijsters secured her first title of 2006 with a 7-5 6-2 victory over Svetlana Kuznetsova in the final of the J&S Cup in Warsaw. The Belgian, who has had an injury-disrupted start to the season, broke serve four times in the second set.
