If this keeps up, tennis will soon pass football as the most-watched sport on television. These days tennis and ice skating seem to be excuses for soft porn shows of hot legs and tight booties in short skirts. Maybe instead of having bachelor parties at the
Cheetah guys will start having them court side.
Passing through the break room the other day I caught a glimpse of the French Open. Whoa! Who was that on the screen? Some brunette. A few years ago
Anna Kournikova gave way to Maria Sharapova, and it looked like this lady was the new one on the horizon.
I forgot about seeing her until the next day when I was looking up the Wikipedia entry for Harvey Korman and came across her picture:
Ana Ivanovic. She's 21 and from Serbia (that's good...Anna Kournikova was just 16 when a co-worker said, "Check this out!" and showed me a site of her pictures. Was I supposed to enjoy them so much?). I have no idea if Ivanovic is considered to be that all that great a player, but who cares (after Ana Kournikova began rising it was revealed she really didn't win a lot of matches, but she sure got a lot of men interested in tennis)?
Though we spend a fair amount of time mulling what's going wrong in the world here at Art's Bar & Grill, Ana Ivanovic, Sharapova and Kournikova are signs that some things in the world are improving tremendously. Remember back in the mid-70's when the female tennis star was Billie Jean King? Bleah! She wasn't giving Farah Fawcett any competition for pinup sales, I'm sure.
Do you also remember in the 1980's when the Cold War was still going on? The image we were given of Russian women was that they were all 5'6", 340 lbs. in ultra-drab, turn-of-the-century farmer's clothes. I remember when Motley Crue and Bon Jovi did that
Make a Difference concert around `89 or `90 in Moscow. Tommy Lee was on MTV in a Russian store holding up a pair of huge women's underpants and saying, "The women over here are
huge!" Maybe Tommy should've looked around a little better. I'd like to hold Ana Ivanovic's panties up to my face -- while she was still in them!
Well, that's enough USSR-style perversity for today, comrades. Here's a few Ana Ivanovic picture links to get your weekend off to a monkey-spanking start.
