Here's to the 2013 Champions!

The 2014 tennis season is already underway with players playing a mix of exhibitions and live matches across the world. 

 Here's a final look back at the 6 players who came, saw, and conquered the 2013 Grand Slams. 
Australian Open
Victoria Azarenka & Novak Djokovic

Roland Garros
 Serena Williams & Rafael Nadal
Wimbledon

Andy Murray & Marion Bartoli
US Open
 Serena Williams & Rafael Nadal 


 As an aside - the players look so much better when they accept their trophies in their playing outfits instead of their warm-up jackets. 

 Wishing you all a happy, healthy, and hearty 2014!!!
