Caroline Wozniacki Loves Liverpool

There was an interesting view in the court during the quarter-final of WTA Qatar Ladies Open in Doha, 24 February 2011. Danish tennis player Caroline Wozniacki was doing warm-up to preparing her match against Flavia Pennetta from Italy. What made it unusual sight was Wozniacki wore Liverpool football jersey above her tennis uniform!

Just couple of days before, Caroline Wozniacki tweeted that she got the jersey, which was personally signed by Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrad, from her friend. As an avid Liverpool fan, she immediately posted her pics with the jersey on Twitter and then wear it on tennis court later.

Just a while ago the current world's no.1 woman tennis player received Fernando Torres' jersey and said that he was her favorite footballer. But after Torres decided to move to Chelsea in January transfer window, she probably has broken hearted too and chose Steven Gerrad as her new idol.

In response to this, major betting site Ladbrokes gives 10/1 that Carloine Wozniacki dates a Liverpool player by the end of this year. Who will be the lucky guy? Obviously not Gerrad, because he's married and known as a family man.

David Beckham Reveals His New Chest Tattoo

Couple of months ago David Beckham released a picture of himself got tattooed by Hollywood tattoo artist, Mark Mahoney. He wrote on his Facebook that the chest tattoo needs 12 hours to finish. After completion, David Beckham never shows it to the public, and the drawing remains a mystery.

Only couple of days ago that David Beckham revealed his new chest tattoo, again via his Facebook page. This time the drawing looks like something that you expect to see in the roof of a church or chapel. But as usual, Beckham's tattoo is connected to his family. It depicts Jesus being carried by three angels.


"It is Jesus being carried by three cherubs and obviously the cherubs are my boys and so my thought of it is that at some point my boys are going to need to look after me and that's what they're doing in the picture. It means a lot."

David revealed he never plans to get a new tattoo done, but often wakes up inspired with an idea. "I had it done before I left Los Angeles. I don't plan on having a tattoo, just sometimes I wake up and I have an idea of an image I'd like on me," he said.

"It's just something that I've found kind of expresses how I feel or thoughts I have or memories. There's not one tattoo I've got on me that doesn't mean something," he added.


David Beckham has at least 17 tattoos in his body, and most of them connected to his family. Now that his wife, Victoria Beckham, is pregnant with their fourth child, will he add one more angel on his chest soon?
