SERENA WILLIAMS (myspace.com/serenawilliams )
What’s she got to say? A lot. Serena has a diary section and relationship blog (‘the lesson is love yourself’). There are some surprisingly personal pics, so it sometimes feels like peering into a teenager’s journal. And we get to read her poetry!
Is she trying to flog stuff? You don’t get to be a Nike star without selling some gear. There’s also a link to her entertaining ads for HP computers
Can I get in touch? Yes, but she’s already been asked: ‘Would you ever date a normal everyday guy like me?’ The answer: ‘I think normal guys are the best.’ Yeah, right
BLOG RATING:
MORITZ VOLZ (volzy.com )
What’s he got to say? A German with a sense of humour - surely not - but the Fulham player is on a mission to undermine national stereotypes. He mentions his love for riding round London on his fold-up bike, and of Little Britain and his ironic affection for David Hasselhoff
Any revelations? For anyone planning a trip to Germany, he provides translations for ‘Where can I get my mullet highlighted?’ and ‘Have you been practising penalties?’
Is he trying to flog stuff? No but he did auction his infamous boots, with ‘The Hoff’ embroidered on them, for charity
BLOG RATING:
BEN COHEN (ben-cohen.com )
What’s he got to say? Rugby’s biggest gay icon does nothing to dampen that status. The site is sponsored by Gay Times – who else?
Who would read it? Those after a downloadable desktop of Ben in the pose above
Straight man or funny act? He’s definitely straight and is the proud new father of twin girls...oh I see what you mean. It’s as straight as a Mike Tindall crash ball
Is he trying to flog stuff? There’s the testimonial bow tie for his benefi t year and the limited edition calendar - as if you didn’t already have that!
BLOG RATING:
DAVID HOWELL (davidhowellgolf.com )
What’s he got to say? Howell maintains his reputation as Mr Nice, writing an entertaining diary while giving us an insight into the slog of the golf tour
Straight man or funny act? Always happy to mock himself and his team, including caddy ‘The Jockey’, there are some genuinely funny moments here, despite his wretched recent form. One golfer you wouldn’t mind having a pint with, and that’s saying something
Is he trying to flog stuff? The usual sponsors’ notices
Can I get in touch? Send in questions and he replies to a selection every month
BLOG RATING:
ANDY MURRAY (andymurray.com )
What’s he got to say? I’m not the surly Scot you thought I was – honest. So we get pics of Andy as a wee lad, hugging his gran, and mocking his silly hair
Any revelations? The videos reveal Andy’s training regime which includes boxing, hydrotherapy, and keepy-uppys. Most unexpected is the sight of Murray looking relaxed and smiling
Is he trying to flog stuff? Fancy an Andy Murray teddy bear?
Can I get in touch? You can reply to any of the blog entries but the last one from Andy was in July. Since then the web editor (Judy?) has been posting

I thoroughly agree with Xenon21's post. The blogs on Andymurray.com are fantastic...Well worth a read for any tennis fan!!
Jambondusoleil, Halifax,
BY the way, the editor of the andymurray.com forum is a hilarious guy called Rob. The blogs are brilliant as they give a valuable insight into the goings on in Andy Murray's life! Definitely deserving a top 5 position here. :)
