        <![CDATA[<p>Tennis fans have been spoiled as of late with a plethora of Grand Slam championships, combined with a special tournament last month in London.  Coming off of an exhilarating Wimbledon championship at the beginning of July, the tennis world got the added bonus of the London Olympic tournament at the beginning of August.  No rest for the weary: it’s Grand Slam time once more.  This weekend marks the opening of the 2012 US Open in Flushing Meadows, New York and Oakley athletes are poised to have another successful showing.  Coming off plenty of recent success, athletes including Samantha Stosur, Janko Tipsarevic, Yaroslava Shvedova and Bob and Mike Bryan will take to the courts in New York aimed at another prosperous US Open.</p>]]>

      <title>Twin Hardware: Bob and Mike Bryan Triumphant in London Tennis Doubles</title>

      <description>
        <![CDATA[<p>Bob and Mike Bryan are more than accustomed to winning. All the time.</p>
<p>But after grabbing their first Summer Games Title Saturday in Doubles Tennis over Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Micheal Llodra of France, the heavily decorated American twins embraced each other – intensely – as if they’d never nabbed a victory ever before.</p>
<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s the longest we&#8217;ve hugged,&#8221; Bob said. &#8220;We&#8217;ve spent 50,000 hours together, and probably 30,000 on the court, working our butts off to get here. That hug right there was a culmination of it all.&#8221;</p>
<p>The dynamic duo, who claimed a third place finish in Beijing four years prior, finally achieved their career Golden Slam: racking up all four majors and the Summer Games…in addition to their already tantalizing 11 major titles and their seventh World No. 1 ranking in nine years.</p>]]>

      <title>Oakley's Janko Tipsarevic Heads To London With Confidence</title>

        <![CDATA[<p>Oakley’s Janko Tipsarevic will head to London on a hot streak.  Coming at the perfect time, heading into London, Tipsarevic won the Mercedes Open in Stuttgart Germany, improving on his previous top finish of 2012 – 2nd place in Chennai.  Prior to the Mercedes Cup, he was the only tennis player ranked in the top 10 without a win in 2012. That all changed when the Serbian superstar defeated second seed Juan Monaco of Argentina 6-4, 5-7, 6-3 in a rainy match.</p>]]>

      <title>Perfection: Tennis Star Yaroslava Shvedova Plays The Golden Set</title>

      <description>
        <![CDATA[<p>It’s been at least 44 years since any woman in professional tennis has done it, but during a third round match at Wimbledon, Yaroslava Shvedova recorded a “Golden Set.”  What does that mean you ask?  Shvedova won a full set, in perfect form.  She won all 24 points and all 6 games in the first set against Sara Errani during a windy match in England.  Shvedova herself didn’t realize the magnitude of her accomplishment until after the match.  The crowd stirred into a frenzy on the final point of the set, leaving Shvedova a bit confused.</p>]]>

<p>Oakley’s International Tennis Star – complete with his signature tattoos, exuberant personality, off-the-court activities (Electronic Dance Music DJ by night) and trademark style (read: killer performance eyewear) – made major waves in the 2011 season, skyrocketing to a World No. 9 ranking. Just the way we like it.</p>]]>

<p>We love our <span class="caps">ATP</span> World Tour Tennis Star (who rocks Prescription, Photochromic Fast Jackets on the court every match) for his humor and personality as much as his sick skills on the court. And Yahoo! Sports/Eurosport knows exactly what we mean.</p>

<p>Since breaking the Top 10 for the first time – after claiming two titles – he’s now slowly getting accustomed to the limelight.</p>
<p>Let’s not forget his shocking victory over his good friend and World No. 1 bomber Novak Djokovic at the World Tour Finals in London.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>They’re still as unstoppable as ever.</p>
<p>Oakley’s <span class="caps">ATP</span> Star Tennis Duo – Mike and Bob Bryan – sealed their seventh No. 1 Year-End Doubles Ranking for the seventh time in nine years after a first-round victory at the Valencia Open. The match result guaranteed that the vibrant pair could not be overtaken by World No. 2 team Michael Llodra and Nenad Zimonjic.</p>
<p>The amazing development comes on the heels of a resounding victory in Vienna last weekend, where the two smashed Max Mirnyi of Belarus and Daniel Nestor 7-6, 6-3 – racking up an 81 percent success rate on first deliveries – with three aces to top it all off.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Janko is officially on fire.</p>
<p>Oakley’s blooming Tennis Star claimed his second <span class="caps">ATP</span> World Tour victory this past weekend, topping his good friend and Serbian Countryman Viktor Troicki at the Kremlin Cup in Moscow, Russia – 6-4, 6-2.</p>
<p>After the tour’s first-ever all-Serbian final, Janko, who shot up to an <span class="caps">ATP</span> year-to-date No. 10 ranking following the victory, displayed understandably mixed emotions.</p>
<p>&#8220;It was really tough,&#8221; Janko said, sporting his Oakley Prescription/Transition Fast Jacket performance eyewear. &#8220;We were both tight. You could cut the tension with a knife. It was like a nightmare to play against your friend.&#8221;</p>]]>

<p>Oakley’s Aussie Tennis Star dominated the former champ – 6-2, 6-3 –  in the US Open Final on Sunday, claiming her first-ever Grand Slam triumph after one of the cleanest, most aggressive matches in the sport’s recent history.

      <title>Storming Times Square: Tennis Stars Janko Tipsarevic and Sam Stosur Meet Massive Oakley Store Crowd and Media for US Open Celebration</title>
      <author>Andrew De Lara</author>
      <pubDate>September 01, 2011 14:56</pubDate>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[<p>Armageddon was descending upon New York City. Or so it seemed.</p>
<p>In the midst of sprawling metropolis’ first major shutdown of the entire public transit system (<span class="caps">MTA</span>) – in anticipation of Hurricane Irene – the city was in an eerie state of calm. But peering into Times Square, the cameras of the nationally prominent Dateline <span class="caps">NBC</span> program were curiously zoomed in at one location. One slammed location – filled with people.</p>
<p>Tennis fans from across the globe, in town for the start of the US Open scheduled to start just a couple days later, packed the impressively placed Oakley Store for the scheduled “Hang with the Pros” event – set to feature <span class="caps">ATP</span> (Men’s) World Top 20 Ranked Janko Tipsarevic, <span class="caps">WTA</span> (Women’s) World No. 9 Sam Stosur and <span class="caps">ATP</span> World Doubles No. 1 Duo, the Bryan Brothers. And the media took notice.</p>
<p>The fan-centered gathering, originally designed as a full presentation – complete with an MC from the Tennis Media, a DJ and a full run-of-show – was nearly cancelled, as <span class="caps">NYC</span> was supposed to be a ghost town with the evacuations, lack of transportation and the coming storm.</p>
<p>But the global prominence of the sport was displayed all throughout the day, as fans consistently inquired about the athlete appearance and the likelihood that it would go on. And although it was downgraded to an athlete signing and media interview gathering, it went on…big time.</p>]]>
