OK, it's the holiday season. Just what, exactly, do you think I could do in this space, other than a Santa to the Stars post? So here's what I would put in the stockings of some top pros:
Roger Federer: A lifetime subscription to Men's Vogue.
Rafael Nadal: Preparation H to sooth those places that have itched him at odd times?
Novak Djokovic: A visit to that $800-a-pop New York barber -- whoops, stylist -- who has coiffed John Edwards and Roger Federer.
Andy Roddick: Tonya Harding's cell phone number.
Nikolay Davydenko: A consulting producer's role in the new HBO series, "The Sopranokovs."
David Nalbandian: Six-pack abs to replace the keg he was lugging around most of last year.
James Blake: A mean streak.
Tommy Haas: a Grand Slam title.
Marcos Baghdatis: A map leading him back to the Top 10.
Mirka: A free one-hour consultation with whatever lawyer represented skater Nancy Kerrigan.
Justine Henin: A "Justine Henin Career Highlights" DVD.
Serena Williams: A litter, for getting to and from the court.
Martina Hingis: A one-year moratorium on any mention of either Radek Stepanek or cocaine.
Jelena Jankovic: A week off.
Venus Williams: Maria Sharapova's dedication.
Maria Sharapova: Venus Williams's talent.
Lindsay Davenport: One more Grand Slam title.
Daniela Hantuchova: A super-sized Big Mac value meal.
That's all, folks, have a merry Christmas!
