Caroline Wozniacki is keeping her dad as coach.
A Danish newspaper reports that top-ranked Caroline Wozniacki has hired Spanish coach Ricardo Sanchez.

The Republican-controlled House has passed another bill putting offshore oil and gas drilling on the fast track.

Thanks in part to a $1.6 million personal loan to his own campaign, former Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert and his $2.6 million war chest have the early fundraising lead in a crowded field of Republicans looking to succeed Texas Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison in 2012.

Democratic officials said Monday that retired Army Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez is expected to run for U.S. Senate in Texas, giving Democrats a high-profile recruit to fill the seat being vacated by Republican Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison.
Sanchez says his first goal is to have Wozniacki win next month's Australian Open.
"Here in Texas too many families are struggling to get ahead," Mr. Sanchez wrote in a Facebook message to supporters. "Jobs are hard to find, our schools simply aren't good enough and increasing food and gas prices are breaking household budgets."
