Jennifer Capriati's ex-boyfriend says his return to porn compounded her depression
0 comments Posted by wedos at 12:49 AMTHE former boyfriend of Jennifer Capriati says her recent drug overdose was linked to his return to work in the porn industry and her depression over being forced out of tennis by injuries.
The 34-year-old former international tennis star was reportedly rushed to the hospital early Sunday from her 19th floor luxury condo in Riviera Beach, Florida, just north of West Palm Beach.
Her father claims that an accidental overdose of prescription medication was to blame.
Her former boyfriend Dale DaBone told TMZ that Capriati got horribly depressed when Grand Slam events were being played, and that she was also upset about his recent return to working in porn.
DaBone had worked in 443 films, the entertainment website reported, and recently signed on with Vivid Entertainment to star in Batman XXX: A Porn Parody.
Meanwhile on CBS's The Early Show today, Justin Gimelstob, a former tennis star and a friend of Capriati's, said he heard from Jennifer's mother, who told him she is doing well physically and is resting.

For the 5th Time: Ana Ivanovic Titled "The Sexiest Female Player"
0 comments Posted by wedos at 10:55 PMSerbian tennis beauty Ana Ivanovic for the fifth time has been named "The Sexiest Female Player". Tennisreporters.net has given the 22-year-old tennis player this title.
The news of the world reported that her website received the maximum number of hits than any other sports woman's website. The tennis star's career earnings already stand at more than 5 million pounds and she is likely to twofold that through sponsorship and modeling contracts.

Jennifer Capriati is recovering from an "accidental overdose" of prescribed medication, according to a spokeswoman for the three-time Grand Slam winner.
The 34-year-old former world number one was rushed to hospital in South Florida early on Sunday morning by paramedics.
But Lacey Wickline told The Associated Press that the American is now "stable" and expected to make "a full recovery".
Capriati won the 1992 Olympics, the 2001 Australian and French Opens and the 2002 Australian Open title.
She turned professional at the age of 14 in 1990 and reached the semi-finals of Wimbledon a year later, after defeating then defending champion Martina Navratilova.
But her career was derailed by off-court problems, including a shoplifting incident in 1993 and an arrest for possession of marijuana the following year.
She did not play at all in 1995 but subsequently returned to the highest echelons of the game and picked up her three Grand Slam titles.
Her playing career was finally ended in 2005 after she underwent surgery for a persistent shoulder problem.

The Longest Match in Tennis History
The longest match in the history of lawn tennis was won by John Isner of USA at Wimbledon on Thursday (24th June, 2010).
Isner and French qualifier Nicolas Mahut played a 186-game epic across three days for 11 hours and 5 minutes on Court 18 until the Isner finally won 6-4, 3-6, 6-7 (7-9), 7-6 (7-3), 70-68.
The final set alone lasted 8:11, far longer than the previously longest match (6:33 hours) as all the tennis records were smashed and the new marks probably will stand forever. Isner served 112 aces while Mahut fired 103.
So special was the moment that the All England Club organized a gift presentation from former champion Ann Jones and Tim Henman for both players — and long-suffering Swedish chair umpire Mohammed Lahyani, who also sat through the entire ordeal.

So in the end the Socceroos finish on the same amount of points as they did in 2006. Except then they were making their way to the Final 16. Now they are on their way out. Of course goal difference is the big factor. Now it was the four goal loss that blew them out of the water – this provided a huge mountain which they just couldn’t overcome.
It was a shame as Australia are a pretty good team and one that could have gone far in the tournament.
So where did it all go wrong for Australia? First of all, they were far too negative against Germany. Not only did they lose the game and not only did they get thumped but it was the manner in which they lost which was the most upsetting. Australia should have backed itself and that could have resulted in a far better outcome. Instead they meekly surrendered. Live betting hammered them in the opening game with no-one betting on them once the game began.
It didn’t help for Australia that they finished two games with 10 men. They only took one point from these two games. Against Ghana they could have won but it was hard with 10 men and hard without the suspended Tim Cahill. Australia did well to take four points from the final two games but like South Africa and Slovenia they will bow out.
The next assignment is for Australia to find a coach. It is alleged that the replacement will be one of the other 31 coaches at the World Cup. The successor to Pim Verbeek needs to be more aggressive and needs to have greater faith in the A-League. Verbeek was ok but he wasted opportunities. Now he heads to Morocco.
Four years ago, following the departure of Guus Hiddink, Australia went to the Asian Cup without a coach. Graham Arnold was the caretaker and Australia paid the penalty. Hopefully they learned that lesson. Australia are in a group containing South Korea, India and Bahrain. Obviously South Korea will be tricky but Australia should have no problem taking maximum points from the other two games. It isn’t an easy tournament and hopefully the new coach will have the reins to steer some of the next generation through.
The thing about tournaments is that you never know what is going to happen next. You can recreate what you had and when they are four years apart they are even more previous.
