MARTINA HAS BALLS!!!
Energy Balls, that is. Martina makes her own snacks to help boost her workouts. These fantastic little nuggets are made from a mixture of figs, nuts, sesame seeds, honey and oatmeal.
I've made 'em. They're fucking awesome.

Miss Thang is certainly no stranger to controversial break-ups. But she's always been a strong positive role model not only to tennis but to lesbians everywhere. Ball's in her court...
What a brilliant work. I've never seen Martina so forthcoming about so many things, including her biological father, her defection and her sexuality.
