In praise of Maria

Ms Sharapova is a basher. She cannot see a tennis ball without wanting to knock it into next week. She occasionally does the subtle stuff but you can tell that her heart is only in it when she's knocking spots off the ball.

I admit that I can only watch her with the sound turned off. All this grunting is, eh, disturbing.

But at least she desists from the loathsome practice of her male counterparts of carrying a towel about with her during games. Nor does she indulge in the curious business when serving of demanding three balls, only to discard one.

So, go on, gie it laldie, Maria!


Postscript: OK, I suppose that she is quite attractive ...
