the Championships

Watching a fascinating tussle between V Williams and Sharapova.
How unidentifiable this is from the women's tennis we saw growing up.
It looks nothing like it.
Nor, in fact, does it sound anything like it.

I couldn't agree more! Bring back Steffi, I say. Sharapova in particular, she's beautiful and is a fine player - but WHAT A NOISE. She sounds like a fox being killed

avinash: haha. not just passionate but the rough, hard, one night kind.
um, stop then.
was a great match though. I cant fathom how they play some of the shots they do...

jr: yeah, I know what you mean. Mauresmo on the other side was into a fair bit of volleying, but mostly it is all baseline power stuff. and yeah, Novotna was pretty classic serve n volley...
