Goodbye Olympics, Hello US Open!

FitSugar — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 12:00:00 PDT

Whether you're relieved or disappointed that the Olympics are over, you can now channel your sports watching elsewhere. The US Open kicks off today in New York!

I always love watching the Open: It's the only Grand Slam tournament held in the US, which makes it feel more familiar even if I can't sit courtside. This year, the Open is celebrating its 40th anniversary, so there'll be some extra nostalgia, including an opening ceremony (tonight at 7 p.m. EDT) highlighting the tournament's singles champs over the past four decades.

The Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal rivalry will be in full force. Though Federer ceded his number one ranking to Nadal, he has won the past four US Opens, so a potential final against Nadal would be a must-see. Other big names to watch will be Lindsay Davenport, who is back after battling injuries, and Elena Dementieva, who just won the gold medal in women's singles Beijing. The way the matches shake out, there's no way that the Williams sisters, who scored Olympic gold in doubles, could face each other in the final match, but here's hoping they come back strong after Beijing.

Check out the schedule here to find out when all the good matches air. Will you be watching the US Open? Who are you most excited to see?

Wonder Woman: Lindsay Davenport

babysugar — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 11:00:08 PST

Beyond being an ace on the court, the 31–year–old tennis superstar is our latest wonder woman. California native Lindsay Davenport has won three Grand Slam tournaments and an Olympic gold medal. After winning the US Open and Wimbledon, she also took top prize in the Australian Open. To learn more about this champion mommy,

In 2006, the 6'2" towering mama took a break from the court to focus on her pregnancy. On June 10, 2007, Lindsay and her husband, Jon Leach, an investment banker and former All–American tennis player, welcomed their son Jagger Jonathan in Newport Beach, Calif.

Just seven months after giving birth, this power mummy won the ASB Classic in Auckland, New Zealand, where she celebrated with her baby boy (donning the "Just Do It" logos) on center court. And she's not planning on stopping anytime soon. Lindsay's hoping to play in three of the four Grand Slam tournaments and the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.

At this rate, she's sure to keep climbing the ranks and bringing home more bacon. Having already earned over $21 million in prize money, she's a Sugarmama. And we can bet that Jagger is going to give the Graf–Agassi kids a run for their money on the courts, too!

See the First Pictures of Lindsay Price's Son Hudson

Lindsay Price and her son Hudson Stone were together yesterday for a shopping outing in LA. This is the first look we've gotten at the little guy, who was born back in Nov. 2011. Lindsay and her boyfriend, chef Curtis Stone, have since been hanging out with their new addition. Curtis confirmed Hudson's arrival last year, tweeting, "Lindsay and I are so excited to welcome our sweet little baby boy into the world. It feels so great to be a dad!"

Work recently took Curtis to Davenport, Iowa, where he linked up with fellow chef Giada De Laurentiis for a project. Curtis did a demo at a lunch benefiting the Gilda’s Club organization. Lindsay, though, accompanied him on the trip closer to home. They went to LA's Atwater Village last Saturday to visit with parents and students who built a school garden.
