Sharapova not a good bet?
August 20, 2009
Yes, Sharapova won’t be since Serena Williams is playing.
That’s unfortunate for tennis fans like me who’d rather watch those little skirts Maria Sharapova and Ana Ivanovic will probably wear in the 2009 U.S. Open than another ass whooping we’ll probably see on some poor sap personally delivered by Serena Williams who has bigger arms than me.
And since Serena Williams is the defending champion of the U.S. Open, not to mention the fact that she’s still fresh from her huge win at Wimbledon, the younger Williams sister will definitely be the woman to beat.
Serena has this tendency to make her opponents look decidedly ordinary with her speed and strength, unless of course she’s playing against the hot and sexy Maria Sharapova who’ll probably make Serena look like a freaking gorilla compared to Sharapova’s long legs, smooth skin, perfect ass and those tight little skirts that give her one sweet looking camel t…
ANYWAY, Serena is the current holder of the U.S. Open singles title and her odds should shorten as summer tournaments heat up. She’s the best athlete on the women’s tour and she has a slight, but significant, age advantage on her older sister Venus Williams. It’s hard to imagine Serena not at least making the semis of the U.S. Open and despite being ranked no.2 in the world, she should be the odds-on favorite.
Then we have Dinara Safina. It is hard to find a serious tennis analyst who doesn’t think she is one of the best players in the sport right now. Without a shadow of a doubt, she is one of the best in the world at the moment with all of her success in the past year, but the general consensus is that Serena is still the world’s best player due to her multiple Grand Slam titles in the last year. A win over Serena at Flushing Meadows could sure fix that.
Elena Dementieva has never won a Grand Slam singles title but she did make the finals of the 2004 U.S. Open. With her odds set at +1000 (10/1) she is underrated and is more of a threat to win the 2009 U.S. Open than Sharapova, Ivanovic, Safina, and Azarenka.
Players that should almost certainly be avoided are Maria Sharapova, Ana Ivanovic, and Vera Zvonareva. None in that trio have impressed enough recently to indicate that they can take this year’s title.
