The Woodies: Your reward for winning the crucial doubles match in the Davis Cup finals tie? Wild cards into the Australian Open singles draw. Serena Williams: Defending Grand Slam champ does the right thing and agrees to play Australian Open after all. Bonus points for teaming up with Venus for pro bono work on the "Buckle Up" seatbelts campaign. Don Budge: Original Grand Slam winner recovering slowly after car accident in the Poconos. AD OUT Pat Rafter: Like his injured shoulder, the Australian Open wild card is still on ice. Carlos Moya: Recurring back injury induces his withdrawl from India's Gold Flake Open and jeopardizes availability for Australia. Greg Rusedski: The marriage strikes again. Newlywed's injury augurs doom for British Davis Cup. Nicolas Kiefer: Wins political battle when Boris Becker quits as manager of Germany's Davis Cup team. U.S. Hopman Cup Team: James Blake and Alexandra Stevenson failed to win so much as a set in 3-0 loss to Sweden on Monday. Say, didn't you used to be Brooke Shields?
