	Mija Martina: Ne brini
		Mija Martina's full name is the slightly unfortunate (for English speakers) Mija Martina Barbaric – probably a wise choice to drop the "Barbaric" from her stage name, though it is an accurate description of this double gear change.
		Hopefully this will prove a salutory lesson in the difference between quality and quantity – although I can't deny that the strategy did pay off for Bucks Fizz in 1981.

	Wimbledon: Martina Hingis and Venus Williams
		Martina Hingis and Venus Williams have a few things in common: both have lived for 17 years, both play superb tennis, and before last month's French Open, each had beaten the other twice this season.
		The 6'2" – gangly and lanky are favorite adjectives – dark Williams is a fine foil for the compact, fair Hingis: the angles of Venus's long legs and arms and the dramatic planes of her face contrast with the almost soft-looking roundness of Martina's face, arms, and thighs.
		Hingis, with her deceptively soft-looking body, her tripping steps across the court, even her relatively ineffectual serve, fits the cultural stereotype of the sweetly feminine, the delicate lady.

		Hingis and her mother have always been confident about what was going to happen with Martina's tennis career: She's been winning tournaments since age six, and she became the youngest juniors champion at a Grand Slam event when she won at Roland Garros when she was 12.
		Their mission, and it didn't really matter if little Martina chose to accept it, was officially launched when Molitor placed a sawed-off wooden racket in the tiny hands of her two-year-old daughter and hit balls to her every day for 10 minutes.
		Hingis doesn't have the crushing forehand of Graf or the flashy net game of Navratilova, but "she has all the shots," says Navratilova.
