eh?

i didn't know jelena jankovic was number one last week. well, i never considered maria sharapova world number one either, when she was the top player before, but that's different. i knew maria's ranking, i read news about it, i hated the fact that this woman gets to be in that position with all the shrieking she does.

justine henin (-hardenne, i miss that second last name), lindsay davenport, venus and serena williams, martina hingis: they deserve the top rank because they won tournaments and had rivals. i'm partial to lousy tennis players who earn the number one ranking because of pure luck and lousier competition. but that's just on women's tennis. i love patrick rafter, in and outside the tennis world. i was a fan of marcelo rios.

now jankovic? please. she has to learn to stop choking. she has to win something big. kim clijsters had (i wouldn't really mind if she hasn't, or didn't, she can do those splits), amelie mauresmo did, twice. ana's number one again now so this is just all blah. and this is all sexism.
