(Getty Images)The WTA wants the headline to read "Tennis to get tough on grunting." It's actually doing nothing of the sort.

USA Today's Doug Robson wrote a fascinating piece on Monday detailing an umbrella plan to rid the sport of grunting. It was recently approved by representatives from the four majors, the International Tennis Federation and the WTA's player's council.

The plan would give umpires a "grunt-o-meter" to measure decibel levels of on-court shrieks. That, coupled with a rule that would set a specific level of excessive grunting and earlier education for players, is to help curb the shrieks that have been a part of the sport since the days of Monica Seles.

But there's a catch: The proposed changes won't apply to any current players. They would be grandfathered in because some experts say it'd be too hard for Victoria Azarenka to change her affected, distracting shrieking "ingrained motor skills and breathing techniques." Instead, this effort is meant to educate so tennis academies

If you were watching Novak Djokovic play his first match at Wimbledon on Monday and thought, "it felt like I was just watching him play at Roland Garros the other day," there's a good reason: You pretty much were.

It's only been 14 days since Djokovic and Rafael Nadal finished their rain-delayed final at the French Open. The extra day aside, that's the usual two-week break in between the two most-different Grand Slams on the tennis calendar. Going from the slow clay to the fast grass at Wimbledon is a big change and most players only get two weeks and one tournament (if that) with which to warm up.

That all could change. All England Lawn Tennis Club chief executive Richard Lewis told BBC's Radio Five that there are discussions about moving the start of Wimbledon back one week in order to give players more time to rest and prepare:

"We are seriously considering it. It's often been discussed and it would be ideal to have a longer break. It would be three weeks, ideally, between the

Whether it was the surprise of seeing Venus Williams lose her earliest match at Wimbledon in 15 years or the sight of Elena Vesnina signing autographs or some sort of inner-ear imbalance that led to unsure footing, cameraman Colin (last name unknown, much to the delight of Colin and his immediate family) took a tumble while filming for the BBC on the first day of Wimbledon.

Colin appeared to be OK. The status of his pants is unknown. We hope he had a stain stick somewhere in that big camera bag because those grass stains can be a hassle.

In the 15 years since losing in her first match at Wimbledon, Venus Williams won five titles at the All England Club and established herself as one of the greatest grass-court players in tennis history. She hadn't lost another first-round match at Wimbledon ... until Monday.

Williams was ousted in the opening round of Wimbledon for the first time since 1997, losing to Elena Vesnina 6-1, 6-3. It was Williams' worst loss at the tournament and only her fourth first-round loss in her Grand Slam career.

Venus lost the first five games of the match and barely challenged the Russian the rest of the way. She looked every bit like an unseeded 32-year-old and nothing like the dark-horse contender she figured to be on her most dominant surface.

Those four games she won, coupled with the five games she won in each of her last two losses at the event, suggest a downturn that indicates Venus' days of contending on her best surface could

How is Roger Federer preparing to win his seventh Wimbledon title and get back to No. 1? By wearing a sweater that could only be pulled off by The Dude.

He and his wife, Mirka, were seen walking through the streets of London prior to this week's grass-court Grand Slam and The Fed was stylin'. Anna Wintour surely wouldn't approve.

And are those Marty McFly's sneakers from "Back to the Future II"? Federer has worn far worse sweaters at Wimbledon, so I guess it's all relative.

• Maria Sharapova received a nice reward for winning the French Open: Her half of the draw doesn't include longtime-nemesis Serena Williams or last year's vanquisher Petra Kvitova. The French Open champion could face a tough test in Tsvetana Pironkova in the second round, but it would be smooth sailing after that. Sabine Lisicki has struggled with injuries, Angelique Kerber has struggled on grass and Vera Zvonareva has struggled with tennis in general. Masha is looking to become only the second woman since Steffi Graf to win the Paris-London double.

• The lucky winner of the "who gets to play Kim Clijsters in the first round" sweepstakes: No. 24 seed Jelena Jankovic. They'll play in another all-Grand Slam winner first rounder (like Novak Djokovic and Juan Carlos Ferrero on the men's side). Clijsters withdrew from a Friday semifinal with an injury, but it was thought to be more of a precaution.

• Unseeded Elena Vesnina drew

• Defying mathematical odds, Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer were placed on the same side of the draw for the 13th time in the past 15 Grand Slams. The main beneficiary of this news: Rafael Nadal, who would see Wimbledon's favorite son and greatest disappointment, Andy Murray, in a potential semifinal instead of Federer. Bryan Graham of Sports Illustrated calculates that the Djoker/Fed pairing would happen 32 times in every 10,000 scenarios.

• On the bright side for Federer: Because of the way the draw works out, he's guaranteed to get back to No. 1 in the rankings if he wins at the All England Club. With one more week at No. 1, he'll tie Pete Sampras for most weeks at No. 1 all time. Though you're likely to hear that this is Federer's last great chance to regain the top ranking, he'll probably be in a similar position at the US Open, provided he doesn't flame out of Wimbledon too early. Federer isn't defending many points until
