6/29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Am%C3%A9lie_Mauresmo Amélie Mauresmo, former #1 tennis player, strong like a man, plays like a man, walks like a man, and has the figure of a man. Hmmmmm... command: \_ Plus, she is a cheese-eating surrender monkey, what more do we need to know? \_ Why was this posted? Is there something I'm missing? \_ I find it unfair that yesterday's Wimbledon on NBC showed 70% Sharapova (hot hot hot) and only 10% Mauresmo, even though both played well. Obviously, the person responsible for yesterday's broadcast was biased overwhelmingly towards Sharapova, and I suppose they did it because they wanted to attract viewers by showing pretty people over ugly people. Life is sad and unfair. -not attractive guy \_ I think Anna K is a little hotter than Sharapova, but both are hot. \- are you blind? does anybody agree with you? \_ I dunno, in the wikipedia hits she looks pretty hot to me. -!pp \_ Damn. He ... er ... she is more handsome than I am. -- guy \_ This French looks like she's from former Communist Russia. |

Mauresmo was leading in both matches -- by 6-1, 2-0 against Henin-Hardenne.
