BLEACHERS BREW EST. MAY 2006

Someone asked me how my blog and newspaper column came to be titled "Bleachers Brew". It's like this, it's an amalgam of sorts of two things: The bleachers area in the stadium/arena where I used to sit when I would watch baseball, football, and basketball games and Miles Davis' great jazz album Bitches Brew. That's how it got culled together. I originally planned on calling it "The View from the Big Chair" that is a nod to Tears For Fear's second album, Songs from the Big Chair. So there.

Ana vs. Venus



Ana beat Danish teenager Caroline Wozniacki 6-1, 7-6 in the fourth round to set up a quarter-finals match with six-time Grand Slam champion Venus Williams today.

Venus leads the head-to-head series 4-0 and the last time the two met was at the US Open last year. Said the 20-year-old Serbian: "I think I'm a little bit different player than I was last time I played her. I got even fitter and stronger on the court. And also these courts are a little bit slower than US Open, so I think that's something that definitely suits me better because she's a big server and she likes to go for the big shots."

"It's going to be important, whoever takes control over that first shot. It will be important for me to serve well and stay in the court and not give her too many chances to attack."
