Splat!


Poor Martina Hingis...makes her big comeback at the Thailand Open after two years off the circuit..and gets twatted in the first round by a German nobody's ever heard of.
She looked very nice though, which, of course, is the premier thing in Women's Tennis. The game is sorely lacking visual talent at the moment.

you're right of course but i think it's been mathematically proven that anyone is automatically 4 X their usual level of attractiveness if they happen to be a professional female tennis player. And if they grunt this is multiplied by a factor of 7. Trust me, it works, press the red button next time Wimbledon comes on and the BBC work out the equations for you. Problem is, take them off the court and you have to start subtracting... i bumped into Kournikova the other day and she looked almost frozen into ugliness.

oh, and the above equation apparently doesn't work for Lindsey Davenport for reasons I'm not statistically mature enough to understand (something to do with infinite regression).

and I'm still sure that Monica Seles used to yell out "Fuck! Me!" everytime she hit the ball

Last thing: anyone else heard the phrase Maskell (as in Dan) used to describe a beautiful person?

(something to do with "a beaut of a drop court volley..."?)

Actually I think Monica Seles was yelling 'Stab! Me!'
I would try out your theory - but I don't have a red button, but I'm sure it's sound.
Sharapova's too scrawny, Henin looks like one of The Adams Family, Serena Williams is just revolting.
They should try & make the actual games interesting enough to watch.
Hang on.. you ran in to Kournikova the other day?
That kind of dumps on my 'I met Tim Henman'.
