SIGHTING: Common joins Serena on practice court, earns 'Sexiest Ball Boy' award

Rap artist Common was spotted with Serena Williams working a couple of practice sessions with the 8-time Grand Slammer before her quarterfinal win over big sis' Venus.

I'd say this relationship is all but confirmed at this point, though no word on whether the rumored engagement happened.

But if this is what ball boys look like these days please sign me up!

Good luck to Serena. I hope she takes the title. I've enjoyed watching her play. Safina's a great fighter but she'll have to be more consistent to beat Serena.

LOL Rich - I don't think anybody can! Surely a mere person won't be able to stand in your way to those unsuspecting ballboys/ballmen :D

So good to see that Common and Serena are holding it together. Even though my favorite is "Vee", my 2nd favorite is Ree. Come on Serena, TCB!!! Beat Safina and go on and hoist up the 2008 USOpen trophy.

Go Serena!

Wasn't Venus engaged to a golfer? Is she still? Does anyone know?

"Wasn't Venus engaged to a golfer? Is she still? Does anyone know?"

- Yup she's still with golfer Hank Kuehne though their engagement is still and unfounded rumor:

Also, check the Women's Tennis Blog link at the bottom of this post. Marija has photos of V and Hank on the practice court as well.
