Michelle Larcher de Brito holds to love with A|X

1174561372_0.jpg

Michelle Larcher de Brito is talented beyond her years, being only 15 years old this Portugese teenager participates only in select pro tournaments and otherwise spends her time training at home in Bradenton, Fla.

Unlike many other tween pro's Brito is not complaining about the new WTA rule, limitation on the number of tournaments a young teen can play in. Larcher de Brito has commented on supporting the rule, saying "I think it's a good rule because they're trying to protect the players from overplaying. I actually don't like that many tournaments in a row. I like playing a couple of tournaments and then going home. I don't want to get too tired."

When Brito is at home in Florida she goes to school at the Nick Bollettieri Academy. Where her father, Antonio Larcher de Brito, is her full-time coach. Larcher de Brito spends her days like any other 15 year old girl with trips to the mall,and hanging out with friends. She says "I don't have much time for it, but when whenever I can, I go to the movies and shop. I love Armani Exchange. I actually have a Siberian Huskie, and his name is Armani."

Michelle Larcher de Brito started the summer by playing the qualifying at the Bank of the West Classic, she won her first-round match against seasoned Gisela Dulko 7-5, 7-6 (1).

That win gave her the golden opportunity to face off with Williams, an eight-time Grand Slam champion. Larcher de Brito stood her ground against such a notable opponent. She won the opening set before surrendering 4-6, 6-3, 6-2.

"It was almost an upset but I still have a lot of years ahead of me and a lot of experience to gain, a lot of tennis to play," said Larcher de Brito. She hopes to get into the U.S. Open though is currently an alternate.

TOM BRADY INJURIED FOOT-BALL DRAMA

tom_brady_foot_baller.jpg
Tom Brady was spotted outside girlfriend Gisele Bundchen’s apartment yesterday wearing what appears to be a walking cast or boot on his right foot.

When asked if his leg is injured, Brady said on WEEI radio, “Ah, you know, there’s always bumps and bruises. I’ll be ready for the Super Bowl. I’m not missing this one. I’d have to be on a stretcher to miss this one. There will be treatment this week. In games like this, you get a little nicked up. It’s nothing serious.”

Brady led the Patriots to victory Sunday in the AFC Championship game against the San Diego Charges bringing in 22-of-33 for 209 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions in a 21-12 win.

Brady’s injury comes just two weeks before the Patriots face the New York Giants in the Super Bowl in Arizona.

But can Patriots quarterback Tom Brady really play “Football” with an injured foot?

DAVID BECKHAM IS SORRY

david-beckham-sorry.jpg
The “Six Million Dollar Man”, David Beckham, is expressing his dissapointment over his teams past season on his official website.

Here is what Becks blogs:

“Hello everyone,

Hope you are all well?

I’ve continued to step up my match fitness over the past week and managed to come off the bench and play a part against Red Bull New York and Chicago Fire. It was a great feeling to be part of the action again.

Unfortunately, results went against us and we just missed out on a play off spot. The team had played so well over the past six or seven games, so I’m incredibly disappointed for them, but we’ll come back stronger next season I’m sure.

I’d like to wish Cobi Jones a happy retirement from playing. He’s been at the Galaxy since the club was formed and has definitely been one of its, and the MLS’s, greatest players. So, best of luck to him for the future.

Speak to you soon
David“

DAVID BECKHAM’S CAREER MAY BE SPRAINED


becks-sprained.jpg
Published reports are saying that “The Six Million Dollar Man” David Beckham could miss the rest of the Los Angeles Galaxy’s season due to recent injuries. Beckham has been diagnosed with a sprained right knee after he was injured in the Galaxy’s 4-3 SuperLiga penalty shootout loss to Mexican club Pachuca on Wednesday.

Beckham, who earns a guaranteed salary of $6.5 million a year, is likely to be sidelined for six weeks—meaning his debut Major League Soccer season is virtually over. Becks will have to fight hard to recover in time for Galaxy’s last game on October 21, but will certainly miss England’s crucial Euro 2008 qualifiers against Israel and Russia in September.
