MIAMI, FL, USA – One lucky tennis fan got their hands on one of Caroline Wozniacki’s Stella McCartney-designed Adidas tennis dresses after the Dane marched into the semifinals of the Miami Open on Tuesday.

Wozniacki had just defeated Lucie Safarova 6-4, 6-3 and was clearly in the mood to make someone’s day after her impressive display.

“Any girls that play tennis want this skirt?” offered Wozniacki, before handing one of her red dresses to a very grateful fan.

Victory for Wozniacki means that she now faces Karolina Pliskova for a place in the final, having previously defeated Dominika Cibulkova in straight sets.

Wozniacki enjoys a 3-1 head-to-head against Pliskova, but it was the Czech who won the last encounter, having defeated her in the finals of the Qatar Total Open.

Ana Ivanovic is enjoying a new chapter of her life after tennis thanks to husband Bastian Schweinsteiger’s move from Premier League club Manchester United to Chicago Fire of the MLS.

The German international soccer star spoke to the media this week about the challenge of relocating to the United States after he and Ana made the decision to swap the north of England for the Windy City.

Following their arrival in Chicago, first stop for the glamorous couple was a Chicago Bulls NBA game.

Speaking after her retirement from tennis at the end of last year, Ivanovic emphasised that she was excited about the next chapter of her life and, within months, she has switched continents.

And it seems as if the couple have already become a lucky charm for their local basketball team as the Bulls beat Cleveland Cavaliers 99-93 in a closely fought encounter.

LAUSANNE, Switzerland – The Court of Arbitration for Sport announced Monday that a ruling on Maria Sharapova’s appeal of her two-year suspension for a failed drug test has been postponed.

Both parties had agreed to an expedited track for the appeal case, which would have seen a decision issued no later than July 18, 2016. Now, the Associated Press reports that CAS and the International Tennis Federation have agreed to defer the decision for another two months.

According to a statement from CAS, “Due to the parties requiring additional time to complete and respond to their respective evidentiary submissions, and several scheduling conflicts, the parties have agreed not to expedite the appeal.”

A ruling is expected no later than September 19, 2016.
