Petra Kvitova rode her big serve right into the Wimbledon final, defeating Victoria Azarenka 6-1, 3-6, 6-2 Thursday.

Petra Kvitova hit nine aces, including three in a row in the final game of the first set, to reach her first Grand Slam final. She will face either Maria Sharapova.

Petra Kvitova is the first left-handed player to reach the Wimbledon final since Martina Navratilova in 1994. Navratilova, who won the title nine times and was in the crowd on Thursday, and Ann Jones (in 1969) are the only ones to win the championship dish at the All England Club.

Radio listeners in the United Kingdom won't be subjected to loud shrieking coming from their wireless sets during Wimbledon. The BBC recently unveiled a new program that allows listeners of live Wimbledon broadcasts to minimize the sound of on-court grunting.


This week, BBC's Radio 5 released NetMix, an online tool that gives viewers the option of decreasing the volume of the sound on the court relative to commentary provided by analysts. The site boasts that NetMix can change the level of "the crowd, base-line, grunting and ball," as if people care about any but the third.


The program came out days after the head of Wimbledon said he would like to see less grunting in the women's game. Listeners on Thursday, for instance, could adjust the volume of on-court sound in matches featuring two of the loudest grunters on the WTA, Victoria Azarenka and Maria Sharapova.

Robert Brun, the head of audio and music technology for BBC radio told London's Telegraph newspaper:

"Having known for a long time that broadcasters have a problem with balancing the ambient sounds of a sports match with the commentary, we felt we had to develop a tool which put the control back into the hands of the audience.

"The BBC receives lots of complaints from the public regarding sound balance — with many of them wanting the sound of the commentators turned up and the noise for a match turned down. Wimbledon was a clear choice to launch this product for as there are always so many comments about the amount of grunting from the players."

This could be a "be careful what you wish for" situation. Turning down Azarenka's interminable, 95-decibel grunts is a no-brainer. Having to listen to certain broadcasters may not be any better, though.(S)

 Yesterday evening I stopped by the Summer Jam hosted by Lucky Magazine at Elsa's in the East Village. While it was full of stylish blogger chicas (and 2 boys!) I was struck by the casual Cali style of  Lauren Steinger who blogs at DiaryofaFashionAddict.com. While she is not from California she admits that she vibes the West Coast style. Here she's wearing a Helmut Lang knit, bag from Chloe and Auden Necklace –a label I'm not that familiar with but she loves so I'm checking out asap!

 Fingers and toes! And there's the rings: chunky, bold, vintage. LOVE THEM! I also love the nail polish which is a new one from Essie but damn if I can remember the name!!!

And lastly a detail shot of the shoes which were the hotly anticipated Julian Louie for ALDO.

 Emma Stone looks sexy and flawless in a red-and-white striped bikini on the July cover of Vanity Fair -- but don't get used to it.

"I usually wear a one-piece," Emma Stone, 22, tells the magazine, admitting that she was nervous for the cover shoot. In a playful mood, the up-and-coming star jokes that her only vices are sugar, wine, and black-tar heroin!

Emma Stone is set to become Hollywood's next big thing, costarring with Andrew Garfield in 2012's The Amazing Spider-Man plus three summer 2011 films (The Help, Friends with Benefits, and Crazy, Stupid, Love), and admits she's become "more conscious" of staying thin.(R)
