Pro Player Fan Sites

Since it's going to be a slow week going into the US Open, I decided to compile a partially annotated list of fansites dedicated to pro tennis players. Many thanks to Pro Tennis Fan for giving me the idea. This list is a work in progress and will be updated whenever I run across a good fansite.

Anastasia Myskina
Unofficial Website of Anastasia Myskina: photos, articles, interviews, videos, and posters of the first Russian woman to win a Slam tournament.

Andre Agassi
Agassi Open: Flashy site not affiliated with Andre Agassi or Agassi Enterprises. This site has the scoop on Andre--with a serving of Punisher attitude.

Andy Roddick
Roddick Online: Well-updated with the freshest news, pics, and video on Andy Roddick. Most videos on the site are high-quality, encoded exclusively for Roddick Online. One of the major fansites dedicated to the American player.
Andy the Ace: Large photo gallery and video sections.
Faultless Roddick: Nice wallpapers.

Fernando Verdasco
Verdasco Online: Who? Find out more about the big-hitting leftie from Spain. No, not Nadal. No, not Lopez. The other one.

Gisela Dulko
Gisela Dulko.com: fansite for the female Argentine player. Tri-lingual (French, English, Spanish).

Juan Carlos Ferrero
Juanqui.net: news and photos about French Open champion and US Open finalist Ferrero, presented in four different skins.

Justine Henin-Hardenne
Justine Henin.net: her results and statistics in an easy-to-navigate design.

Marat Safin
Safinator: arguably the best-updated Safin site on the web. Yes, even better than the official site.

Maria Kirilenko
Kirilenko.nl: find out more about the other Russian Maria.

Maria Sharapova
Maria World: news about Masha on and off the court. Comprehensive photo gallery and interview transcripts.

Mario Ancic
Ajmo Mario: up-to-date on what Super Mario is up to. Good section on Mario's head-to-head records with other players.

Nadia Petrova
Nadia Petrova Fanpage: aside from the standard fanpage content, this site also has Winamp skins and mobile phone themes.

Rafael Nadal
Vamos Rafael: the largest Rafa site on the net, afforded quasi-official status by Nadal. Lots of fan-submitted content as well.

Robby Ginepri
Ginepri Fans: did you know Ginepri was the first man to wear a sleeveless shirt at Wimbledon? This player is enjoying a renaissance of sorts in 2005.

Roger Federer
Roger Federer Magic: tracks where Federer is and how he's doing in tournaments, but also has informative articles about him. Good stuff.

Scoville Jenkins
Scoville Jenkins.com: the first fansite dedicated to the up-and-coming American youngster, this site has been with Sco from the beginning.

Tommy Robredo
Tommy Robredo.net: a good resource for the Spanish player's results, interviews, and articles.

Venus Williams
Venus Williams presented by VenusTennis.com: video files, images, and news. Also offers videotapes of Venus's matches.

Vince Spadea
Spadea Ain't Afraid of the Top Ten: a fan's hilarious take on Vince Spadea.
