You heard us right. Today is the first day of the Davidoff Swiss Indoors event and Roger Federer is already getting some trophy: this one is for his 3 previous wins in Basel. But can you really blame the Swiss? And can you really name the second most famous person in Roger’s country besides Martina Hingis? Exactly.

Remember that crazy, shocking Serena semifinal meltdown in New York? Serena Williams made sure we don’t . Since that horrid day, she released her book, proved she’s #1, finally won one of those pesky non-Slam titles at Doha and then traveled to London for yet another signing. And you know what? Brits went crazy for her new look as they lined up for hours to meet the American. London 2012 is not that far away.

Maria Sharapova didn’t play enough to qualify for Doha and she’s not joining the field at Bali. But we frankly don’t care about those far-away tournaments at this point. We’re just happy to see Maria back in action in California over the weekend. She launched the new Sony Ericsson Equinox phone by her home at Canoga Park, LA and judged (yet another) Maria look-alike contest.

We love this green tournament look for Rafael Nadal, who sported this fresh Nike color for the first time this week. So far, it’s working. He destroyed poor Marat Safin on this way to the semifinals.

Not every tennis player gets to play around with a supermodel on a couture shoot on most weekday afternoons. Gaël Monfils (who wore Nike to the shoot) paired up with Yankee star Karlie Kloss in a stunning series of photographs captured by Arthur Elgort and styled by legendary Grace Coddington. The duo shot these photos back in July in Paris but you can experience them in the current issue of American Vogue.

Davis Cup. Shmavis Cup. The real highlight of Roger Federer’s weekend was meeting Giorgio Armani after the Davis Cup 2010 play off yesterday between Italy and Switzerland at the Beppe Croce Stadium in Genova. So what if the Federer totally beat the Italian’s team? Mr. Armani was just happy to be in the presence of a fellow great.

Royal Box recently caught up with Lacoste spokesman Hayden Christensen and we got straight to the tennis talk!

Who do usually root for when you go to the Grand Slams?
The underdog.
Are you any good in tennis?
Not as good as I used to be?
Do you ever play with your fiance Rachel Bilson?
Sometimes…
So, who wins?
We play doubles!

Did you know that the cost of Kim Clijsters’ home in New Jersey merely a fraction of what she just earned at US Open. To be exact, he lovable Belgian and hubby Brian Lynch paid $772,000 for this 2,717 square feet property in Wall Township in Jersey. This home has 3 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and an expansive basement. You can read about all of the obsessive interior features here. Don’t’ shoot the messenger, Kim!

Nothing went Radek Stepanek’s way last night. First he was totally overwhelmed by Novak Djokovic during their round of 16 encounter. And then he lost his contact lense during the early stages of the battle. Well, at least he has Nicole Vaidisova in his hotel room.

Anna Wintour watched a very impressive Melanie Oudin run from the US Open President’s Box yesterday. She had Oscar de la Renta by her side and the editrix moved up to the Roger Federer’s friends and family section at the commencement of his match. Minutes later, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban made their way to the top seating area at Arthur Ashe to the delight of the Open crowd. “We love watching Roger,” the actress happily told her seatmates. “And it couldn’t be a more perfect day for tennis.”
