Sharapova vs My Little Sakura

By direstraits on February 24, 2006 1:56 PM |

I don't know how I missed the last match up. I thought I was following the tennis scene close enough...

Ah but anyway, here is the
matchup again: a tantalizing meeting between the current glam queen of tennis (who can actually win tournaments!) and my all time favourite ladies tennis player, Martina Hingis.

Did I mention that I was moved almost to tears on the news that her ankle injury forced Hingis to retire 3 years ago? And did you know that I was moved almost to tears that she has decided to pop back onto the scene?

Hingis is doing well now, but she is not in Mauresmo's powerplay league, although I do love a tennis match that relies more on brain than brawn. That, I think, is why I really love Hingis so much... she's not a huge power player, but one who actually plays watchable tennis.

During Hingis's absence I admit to taking a liking to the Russion beauty, but in this matchup, there is only one person I want to see win. And that's my cute little sakura, just as I remembered her in 1998 during Wimbledon.

DS, I'd like to see Hingis do well in her comeback, too. She's looking pretty good.

I saw that she just got beaten by Mauresmo. I think Mauresmo's just too strong for her physically (does anyone else think she looks like a man?).

Anyways, I think Hingis still has some good tennis left in her. It's not easy coming back from a 3 year lay off.

ps. ds, hope you update a bit more often! ell

Hehe... sorry ell... I've really got to get up and post more. The thing is I have plenty of stuff in my archives to be posted, but nothing has yet gone up to the site. I'll get to it.

Thanks for still reading! :) :)
