Safina looks like she is about to explode anytime,she is not easy to look at when she is playing.Sveta has a good aura about her and to me that maks her better than say Sharapova who is really cold.

I saw two giant opening quotation marks not closing quotation marks.

It's fine if British players are featured, I wouldn't be surprised; all the other Grand Slams do the same (putting a player from home over a higher ranked player who's not from the country), but to choose prettier lower ranked players over the top ranked is just ridiculous. It loses viewers, well at least myself. Don't get me wrong, I think Maria's really pretty, but to put her on Centre is unfair to other players, who probably will make it further and want the experience. TV only broadcasts the Centre Court and Court 1 matches mainly, and if it's a lower ranked person I've never heard of, I probably won't watch it and instead will listen to the radio to hear my favorite players or top ranked people playing. It's ridiculous.

I believe it's natural I miss stories, big news media are missing stories, so it's natural that a blog run by one person (one person for everything – writing, design, responding to emails, managing advertising, blog promotion) is permitted to skip something. After all, I'm writing for my own pleasure, and I can stop writing today if I want to.

Carlos, where did I miss the quotes? I haven't noticed I have ever missed them?

All WTA players use their sex appeal and beauty even the ones who are not consider easy in the eyes (in the form of photos shoots, specially the ones in bikinis)to become popular and to get endorsements. If tournament organizers want a certain player to participate in their main court because they can attract a crowd, I don't have a problem because the organizers want to make money. WTA players can't have it both ways, use their beauty for their purposes and complain about it when affects them. I look at it as a double standard.

Ms. Marija you're Serb yourself and I see your main focus is on the Serbian players, I expect it, I understand it, and I don't have a problem with this; but you also report on other players, do you miss stories? Once in a while you do, but I'm not gong to hold it against you; in my opinion this blog is the best.

Ms. Zuleika I think it would be a good idea to contribute to this blog with your writing. BTW the U.S media did not focus on Dinara at all. When a player is doing good and not being reported by the media, in the U.S. media itself calls it "moving quietly".

Ms. Marija make sure you close the quotes with quotation marks, I don't want to misquote anyone again.
