If that was the final it should be "Loser does a nude lap of the court carrying the naked winner on her shoulders."

If the womens game is generating as much money as the mens game (And thanks to the glamour of the likes of Sharapova and Ivanovic, I think it's pretty close) then they should get equal proze money IF they are are prepared to play best of 5 sets like the men.

Women play "Best of Three" because male viewers can't wank any longer than that ...

Anyone remember piggy nosed Anke Huber?

She was my hugest crush growing up.

are separate accounts kept for revenue generated by the two sections at a grand slam? easier to implement at separate atp and wta tournaments i guess

TO asking a question about the accounts? That's funny.

Wasn't she engaged or even married to Andre Medvedev. I seem to recall when he lost the French in 1999 his speech was about how much he loved her.

Apparently Czech tennis player Radek Stephanek is now engaged to Nicole Vaidosova. Correct me if i'm wrong, but wasn't he engaged to Martina Hingis less than a year ago?

Doesn't muck around....

Maybe he changed his mind on the Swiss Miss when the cocaine thing came up.

Wasn't there a story that Mauresmo was caught in the dressing room preparing to lift a person into position to do that. I don't know how she was going to see where she was walking though.

If ever a p0rn movie was made about women tennis players it would have be called "Best of three" wouldn't it?

I still don't like Murray. Even to the point that i was cheering for Gasquet.

I'm hoping, sir, that you didn't know that joke had been used 3 pages or so back.

Possibly, but 3 pages later?

No wonder I think you're an unimaginative, monotonous, dyspraxic old goat.

Mate, as far as I am concerned, the Czech Republic is the furthest East I would go. It was not my cup of tea. It was dull and full of angry people.

czech women are beautiful though, makes it worthwhile putting up with the rudeness

I love the BBC's Live Text:

Murray 2-5 Nadal
These groundstrokes from Nadal are somehow beautiful and terrifying at the same time - it's like being eaten alive by a snow leopard. He crashes his way to 40-0 on the Murray serve and polishes him off with a backhand so brutally fast and accurate that even the ball starts sobbing.

Anyway, Nadal leads 6-3, 6-2.
