...Kabul's Serena Hotel offered visitors to the Afghan capital a lot more than a place to stay. For the thousands of foreign journalists, aid workers, teachers, medical staff and entrepreneurs who have made the war-ravaged city a temporary home, the Serena was an oasis of tranquility. Its cafe served a good cup of coffee in a land of tea; its spa was a place for a hot shower in a snow-bound city where constant power outages reduce bathing to a bucket of water heated on a wood-burning stove; its gym offered a safe place to exercise...

...court, Serena's fledgling rivalry with Sharapova could offer the most fireworks, if Sharapova would only show up. Williams needed about an hour to flatten her in each of their two matches this year. Still, Williams had Serena-like praise for her opponent. "She wins a lot of matches with her power. And she's really tall. Imagine what I could do at 6 ft. 2." That Serena swagger is back. And she insists she is healthy and dedicated to a summer of intense tennis. "You're looking at the best player in the world," she says. Bam right...
