Tennis Returns to Normalcy

When Roger Federer was eliminated in the semis of the Australian Open, I had no idea how to respond. My faith in men’s tennis — yay, all that I knew existed — was shaken. But then Maria Sharapova won the women’s half of the open, and I remembered she was attractive. I can really only devote so much thought to tennis, and this is much more comforting.
See, that’s much better.
Is Sharapova really that attractive? Do we tend to think so because she is tall and blond? She has chimpmunk cheeks. I think Dementieva is much prettier but she has not won the Grand Slams.
Tall and blond certainly helps. I think the fact that she’s won grand slams makes her a bit more of the sort of representative attractive tennis pro.
