And they wonder why women's tennis is more popular than men's ...
Today in the Australian Open, Daniela Hantuchova played Maria Sharapova, the 2004 Wimbledon Champion. Yowsa!
Yes, this is a shameless ploy to post pictures of these two attractive tennis players. However, I do like women's tennis more than men's tennis - men seem to rush the net more and blast serves for aces, making points very short and rallies rare. Frankly, this makes the game a bit more boring. Yes, I like serve-and-volleyers as much as the next guy, and there's nothing like a good five-set match between, say, Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi, but women seem to play the baseline a bit more and work the whole court, and it's a more interesting game. That's how I see it, anyway. Now if only the major tournaments would change their policy and allow the women to play best-of-five instead of best-of-three. Now that would be cool.
Sharapova won, 6-4, 6-4. I dig Sharapova, so I'm happy. Maybe she'll actually win a Grand Slam tournament again.

Must be their smiling faces, eh?
Yeah, that's it.
I couldn't agree more. Almost any women's match is going to be more interesting than a men's match. (Above and beyond that the women are hot, I mean.) The only pro tennis match I've ever seen in person was Venus Williams vs. Anna Kournikova, and it was frickin' AWESOME.
I watch women's tennis, too, because you're right about the men hitting back and forth at 120 is boring.
Yeah, that is the reason I watch women's tennis.
I like the nipple shot.
