At the <span style="font-weight: bold;">LA Lakers</span> game this past Sunday after he captured <a href="http://www.downthelinetennis.com/2008/03/photo-op-nole-manhandles-his-trophy.html">his first <span style="font-weight: bold;">Indian Wells</span> title</a>, and where <span style="font-weight: bold;">Maria</span> was <a href="http://www.downthelinetennis.com/2008/03/sighting-weary-sharapova-takes-in.html">spotted hanging out with <span style="font-weight: bold;">Camilla Belle</span></a>.<br /><br />Do you think they knew each other would be catching the same basketball game? Crazy!<br /><br />Now I REALLY need to know what his girlfriend <span style="font-weight: bold;">Jelena</span> thinks of their "friendship."<br /><br />Check out the interview:<br /><br /><object height="355" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/CbdDX1VCQ94&amp;hl=en"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/CbdDX1VCQ94&amp;hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="355" width="425"></embed></object><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">(image via tt.tenniswarehouse.com)</span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script expr:src='"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~s/DownTheLine?i=" + data:post.url' type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2253867020130053273-3706248998993273138?l=www.downthelinetennis.com'/></div>RiCHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02383001398494870303downthelinetennis@gmail.com4
