Sharapova

[poliphilo]

I have nothing against Maria Sharapova; I just don't see what all the fuss is about. Go out on any high street and you'll clock hundreds of prettier, more interesting-looking girls- Sharapova's current opponent Gisela Dulko for instance- who is also- on this showing- a better player. What is it about Sharapova's brand of generic, Slavic poutiness that makes people lose all sense of proportion? Yes, her hair's yellow- so what?

I felt the same way about Anna Kournikova when everyone was in a tizzy about her.

Sharapova, Kournikova, whoever. Slavic goddesses leave me cold.

I'm a Williams fan.

I'm a Williams fan, too. Venus is my favorite, probably because I am the eldest between my sister and me, and people constantly compared us to one another when we were growing up. As soon as people began comparing Venus and Serena, my heart became set on Venus.

Both of those ladies have class, though. I admire them for that.

I favour Venus too. Mainly because she was the first to appear over here- and the first to win Wimbledon- and so we got to know her before we got to know her sister. But they're both remarkable.
