Sharapova lost to Dinara Safina in the French Open a couple of days ago. A little disappointed. I was rooting for her. I know not many people like her. It's been said before that Sharapova is a player who is admired by many, but loved by few. It's not difficult to understand why, I suppose. While she has great fighting spirit (even without the screaming and grunting), I think the fact that she's quite beautiful (as opposed to being pretty) can be quite intimidating. Okay, her nutty dad doesn't help her image. But you have to give them credit for not killing each other, being together - training, travelling - 24 hours a day. Ana Ivanovic, on the other hand, is more loved by tennis fans, more 'pretty'. The girl-next-door look, more 'normal', warmer.
Then again, it's great to see Dinara finally come into her own and achieving her potential. She has been so close yet so far for far too long. I used to love watching Marat play when he was world no.1. It was always very entertaining, although such a pity to see him lose games after losing his head. Dinara meets Ana Ivanovic in the final, don't know who I'll go for!
I haven't been able to watch the French Open all week, so hopefully I'll get the chance to watch it this weekend. Euro starts this weekend, so something tells me I'm going to be very sleep-deprived til the end of this month. YAY hehehe. I cannot wait to see Torres in action. *drool* ;)
