Adding an oomph factor to the otherwise seemingly dry Tennis game is a diamond festooned tennis racket all set to offer you a feel of the upcoming 2008 US Open. The event is expected to witness the global presence of the handpicked tennis players flaunting their expertise at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center for the year’s final Grand Slam. Agreed tennis is renowned as a viewer sport too, thereby engaging a passive spectator and they say that the scheduled contest would witness the entry of notable idols. Realizing this, Asia Muhammad is in full swing to electrify the audience with her offering of diamond studded racket. The Las Vegas tennis alertness is doing the needful for her in respect to her proficient debut via her signature pink racket caked with majestic diamond initials.

It claims to sport customized 1.00 ctw of VS quality pave set diamonds in two letter A’s (right over her grip) on both sides and courtesy for this goes to Michael E. Minden, a local Las Vegas jeweler. Scanning deeply the bling factor, the fitted diamonds are tinted in F-G and each one weighs .50 carats. Such a priceless beauty has got a calculated price tag as well—with a single initial demanding a sum of $1,750 while the one with two initials costing $3,400. Not to mention, the blingy creation by Asia would not only turn heads but surely would break few.

In a world where nothing comes fro free, it’s truly exciting when things like diamonds are given away for free. Not just any diamonds, but diamonds encrusted on a Canon shot. And the much hyped added perk is that you will receive it from none other than the tennis legend pretty lady- Maria Sharapova!
Yes, Canon has roped their long time brand ambassador for giving away five diamond-covered Canon PowerShot Elph cameras in an invitation-only event at “Canon Center Court”. The event took place on August 20 where Maria came in a white and brown dress looking as stunning as ever. The value of the cameras is around $12,000 each, which will make it one of the costliest cameras ever made. The lucky winner will be declared on October 20 on the Powershot website.
There’s only one tip I have for Canon. The winners will get toppings alongside the cake if you let them click Ms. Sharapova as their first image shot!
