1 to 3 and 3 to 1
Down due to cold, I got to watch quite a bit of telecast of the action from Sony Ericsson Championship.
Justine Henin-Hardenne: Wow! Now this is what I call a killer backhand. Awesome. Thank God you didn’t overdo serve-and-volley, the way you did pathetically at the US Open. Why would you want to serve-and-volley at every chance when you have such lethal groundstrokes? Well, I won’t, if I was in your place. Anyway, you deserve the Numero Uno position.
Maria Sharapova: You do hit the tennis ball really hard these days. Did you by any chance learn the art of looking your enemy’s face in the tennis ball? Where have you gone, Serena? Come back in the same way you once used to rule the tennis courts. You would find your own reflection in Sharapova. By the way, Sharapova, you were clearly not at ease with sliced returns. Patch it up, girl. I tell you, when you have a chink in your armoury, none of these other girls is going to feel sorry to poke at it. Particularly, when your ultrasonic grunts irritate your opponents like hell.
Amelie Mauresmo: Your game is amazingly similar to that of Henin, just a tinge paler. Sharapova is consistent only recently and Henin usually takes injury time out for half the seasons. You still have chances to regain the throne.
Svetlana Kuznetsova: I apologise for considering you a one-time-wonder when you won the US Open in 2004. You didn’t do yourself any good by losing to Sania. But since then, I have seen you playing some amazing matches. Great going.
Nadia Petrova: It is so nice to see you having the scalps of higher ranked players pretty frequently these days. You know what? You look amazingly similar to a old friend of mine.
Kim Clijsters: You know that the Number One spot is well within your reach. Just get clean of your injury picking habits. And, I love the way you do splits on court. Simply awesome!
Martina Hingis: You will be one of my favourites forever. You don’t have the advantage of power or height or temperament. You used to behave like a spoilt brat on court. The Williams sisters literally blew your career away. But still, you have come back. And, what a comeback it has been! You still play more with brain than brawn. You have brought the sweetness of melodic tennis back to this hip-hop era of tennis. And mind you, there still are numerous fans for the melodious R&B. Though you are still as soft as you had been in your first stint, your shots are a lot more precise now. Your serves, though week, are sharper now. And you are more expressive on court. May be you will not be able to reach the throne which used to be yours long ago. But, you will always remain the much-loved breeze amidst the hurricanes.
Elena Dementieva: Oooh! Were you, by any chance, the winner of Claudia Schiffer look-alike contest?
