Tennis Updates: February 25, 2013

So not a lot of really tennis news, but more tennis gossip this week. Caroline Wozniacki denied rumors that she was going to get married to her boyfriend soon. But you know, she probably will later; they seem to get along really well. Andy Murray bought a hotel near his home in Scotland just because he had the money and felt like owning a hotel. Also, the huge tennis academy, IMG Bolletieri seems to be up for sale. That's a big deal since former and futur stars have trained there. Andre Agassi, Maria Sharapova, Ryan Harrison all train or trained there. It's estimated to earn more than $2 billion in earnings if sold. IMG is huge outside of sports too, so it's kind of a huge deal for everyone. They recently had signed a deal with Barclays that lasted about 3 years, but not really a clear indicator about who would buy the huge organization. Anyway, Roger Federer, who is almost to his 32nd birthday, tells paparazzi that he will be playing less tournaments this year to spend time with his family, but will be practicing more. He's always been a hard worker (despite many beliefs) but he says he will work even harder this year. I'm always worried that will take a toll on his body since 32 is pretty old for tennis. The young professional tennis players are 16, 17 years old. They will outlast him on court, so he will have to find other ways to win, either through skill or power (which I doubt, he's never been that type of player). Hope everything goes well for him. He da best.
