Sports - Maria Sharapova #7: Because she`s reeking of talent and sex appeal! - Page 9

**Hot Rod** · 06-14-2008, 09:56 AM

Here`s the latest from Birmingham and Barcelona.

First of all in Birmingham, Kat defeated Marina Erakovic 6-3, 6-2. Good win there for Kat. She delivered a pretty good performance and in the process got some payback for Alona.

Meanwhile in Barcelona, Makiri defeated Stephanie Cohen-Aloro 7-5, 6-3. Another good win for Makiri.

It`s nice to see her put together another nice solid showing.

So in all it was a very good day. Now it`s on to the finals for Makiri and Kat. Makiri will be in her second final of the year tomorrow against Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez, while Kat will in her first career singles final against Yanina Wickmayer. Obviously are great opportunities for them both, especially Kat. I really hope that Makiri and Kat will give it their best tomorrow and bring home the titles in Birmingham and Barcelona tomorrow. We need to see another hotties title sweep tomorrow.

Anyway here are a couple of pics from Kat`s match.

**Hot Rod** · 06-15-2008, 09:47 AM

Today we got a hotties title sweep in Birmingham and Barcelona.

First of all in Birmingham, Kat defeated Yanina Wickmayer 7-6(7), 3-6, 7-6(4) to win the DFS Classic. What a great win for Kat.

Obviously the match was very tough, but she did a good job of rising to the occasion to not only get her first career singles title, but also to extend the hotties domination in Birmingham. Kati is now in elite company joining Masha and Jelena as champions in Birmingham.

Meanwhile in Barcelona, Makiri won her second singles title of the year by crushing Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez 6-0, 6-2. Great job there by Makiri.

She really played very well throughout the week in Barcelona. With her win today, Makiri will return to the top 20 for the first time in a couple of years.

This has been a great day with Makiri winning her second title of the year in Barcelona and Kat winning her first career singles title in Birmingham. You can`t get much better than that. Hopefully their title victories today will greatly boost their confidences with Wimbledon around the corner. Later today i will be back with the draws for the International Women`s Open in Eastbourne and the Ordina Open in Hertogenbosch, Netherlands.

In the meantime, here are some pics from today`s matches along with some pics of Anna, Elena, Flavia and Iveta in Holland.

Great job in winning your first singles title Kat.

Great job in winning your second title of the year Makiri.

Qualifier - Klara Zakopalova [CZE]
Bye - Anna Chakvetadze [RUS,2]

First of all the field in Eastbourne doesn`t look that strong after Ana`s withdrawal, with Svetlana Kuznetsova the favorite. Unfortunately Caroline will likely play her in the second round. However she does have a glimmer of hope since she is a good grass court player. Also Alize`s portion looks pretty tough starting with a first round matchup against compatriot Amelie Mauresmo. Vera Z`s portion looks more favorable. Meanwhile on the other side of the draw, Nikki is a bit of an enigma once again. If she can somehow get it together, then i can see her getting a couple of weeks and then meeting up with either Lindsay Davenport or Aggie in the third round. Right now our best hope in Eastbourne would have to be Vera Z. She has played pretty well this season and is always capable of knocking off a top ranked player.

Meanwhile in Holland, the field there obviously is more stacked with some of our favorite hotties. Anna returns to defend her title. Her portion of the draw looks favorable early on, but could get tough with a potential third round match likely against Alona. Makiri`s portion also looks favorable, however it`ll be interesting to see how well she can adjust moving from clay to grass. Also Flavia`s portion looks favorable as well. Elena has a favorable first round match. If she can past it, then she will likely play her partner in crime Dinara Safina for an interesting second round matchup. I think that the Ordina Open is wide open with no clear cut favorite.

I really hope that we can get at least another hotties title win this week. Anyway the tournaments get started tomorrow. First of all in Eastbourne, Alize will take Amelia Mauresmo. This is a very intriguing matchup. Alize is the slight favorite in it, but i`m still a bit wary of Amelie Mauresmo. Sure she has been fading lately, but you never know when she`ll show the old magic. Meanwhile, we`ll have a couple of all hotties matchups in the first round. First of all Flavia will take on Sania Mirza. Flavia obviously is the favorite since Sania is trying to find her form after her recent long layoff. In the other all hotties matchup, Alona will play Iveta in an even more sexier matchup. Both ladies can coming in different directions with Iveta continuing her improved play, while Alona has been in a slump lately. Also Ashley will take on Francesca Schiavone. I think that this is a good opportunity here for Ashley.

Lastly here is the doubles draw in the Ordina Open:

Chan/Chuang BYE
Ehritt-Vanc/Tanasugarn vs. Hassinger/Schaefer
Benesova/Navratilova vs. Rus/Thijssen
Erakovic/Krajicek vs. Anderson/Stephenson

Dekmeijere/Kerber vs. Lisicki/Woehr
Feys/Lucic vs. Koryttseva/Rodionova
Arvidsson/Keothavong vs. Parra Santonja/Pin
Lefevre/Vedy vs. Kirilenko/Pennetta

I`m very happy to see Makiri and Flavia resuming their partnership in Holland.

Hopefully they can find the old magic from Estoril and go on another nice run.

Anyway here are some pics of Kat during the trophy presentation eariler today and some pics of Alona from a couple of matches last week.

The Daywalker · 06-16-2008, 04:55 PM

Alona with her hair like that reminds me of a girl named Sarah that used to post at Fan Forum.

The newest tournament listings, i'm hoping for strong runs for Nikki and Anna. I think they both need to have strong performances to boost their confidence.

Big congrats to Makiri for destroying Sanchez in the finals. That's the Makiri we should be seeing week in and week out. She needs to take us for a ride in her new whip.

**Hot Rod** · 06-16-2008, 10:56 PM

Where did this Sarah chick used to post here at FF?

I`m all in favor of Makiri giving us a ride in her new whip. Of course i would recommend that she get a little custom work done on it.

Action got underway today in the International Women`s Open and the Ordina Open eariler today.

First of all in Holland, the action on the ladies` side was headlined by a couple of all hotties matchups.

Alona and Iveta met up for a very sexy matchup, which Alona won 6-4, 4-6, 6-4. Good win for Alona.

She has been playing a lot of tough matches lately and did a good job of pulling this one out. As for Iveta, obviously this is a tough loss for her.

She played good, but just couldn`t get that extra break or two that would`ve turned things around for her.

Also Sania upset Flavia 6-4, 6-3. This is quite a surprise from Sania. She played much better than expected. Obviously this win should give her a boost of confidence. As for Flavia, this is a disappointing performance from her.

I felt that she had a chance of going on a nice run, but instead her grass court troubles continues.

While i`m on the subject of surprises, Ashley upset Francesca Schiavone 6-3, 6-4. What a great win for Pebbles.

It is great to see her return to the good form that she used before the emergency ovary removal surgery in Miami. This will be a huge confidence booster for her.

Also Elena was beaten handlely by Camille Pin 2-6, 3-6. This is also a disappointing performance from Elena.

I felt that this was a favorable matchup for her, but instead she was outplayed badly.

Meanwhile in Eastbourne, Alize was defeated by compatriot Amelia Mauresmo 1-6, 6-4, 5-7. What a tough loss for Alize.

I felt that she had a good chance in that match, but i guess her inexperience caught up with her again.

So in all it was a good day for some of our favorite hotties in the opening day at Eastbourne and Holland. The action in both of those settings tomorrow. First of all in Eastbourne, Nikki will take on Olga Govortsova and before that match, Caroline will play Tsvetana Pironkova. Caroline has a bit more of a favorable, although Pironkova give her a tough first round match in Miami. I think that Nikki`s match looks pretty tricky, especially given her bad form lately. Meanwhile in Holland, Anna will begin her title defense against Angelique Kerbe, while Makiri will be up with her first round match against Sorana Cirstea. Then later on, she and Flavia will play their first round doubles match. Also Alona will take on Marina Erakovic for the second time in less than a week. Hopefully Alona can get some payback against Erakovic. Kat is likely suppose to play her match as well tomorrow.

Anyway here are some pics from today`s matches along with some pics of Flavia practicing.

The Daywalker · 06-17-2008, 03:56 PM

Sarah posted here a few years back. She didn't have the bangs then, but does now.

Seeing Ash there makes me wish the Playboy issue was out

This is the 2nd time in 2 days this thread dipped to page 2! Ouch.

Flavia's got some nice thighs

**Hot Rod** · 06-17-2008, 04:59 PM

I don`t remember Sarah posting here a while back. What was her screen name? Also does she have her bangs much like Masha`s?

I also wish the issue of Playboy that she`s going to be on is out too. However i`m going to remain patient for it. You know the old saying about the good things comes to those that wait.

As for the thread dropping to the second page, there has been some new threads popping up here lately. Plus we need to expand the Masha fan club here.

Anyway here`s the latest from Eastbourne and Holland.

First of all in Eastbourne, Caroline defeated Tsvetana Pironkova 6-3, 6-2. Good win for Caroline.

She likely looked very sharp throughout the match. This is a nice start for her.

Unfortunately it wasn`t all good news as Nikki has another early exit with a 2-6, 4-6 loss to Olga Govortsova. I have to say it`s not a surprise that this happened, especially with how Nikki has been playing lately, which is pretty sad to say.

Meanwhile in Holland, Anna made her return today with a 6-3, 3-6, 7-6(1) victory over Angelique Kerber. Good win there for Anna.

It wasn`t exactly her best match, but at this point i`m glad that she pulled it out.

Also Alona defeated Marina Erakovic 3-6, 6-4, 6-3 in their second meeting in less than a week. Good win for Alona.

It`s nice to see her get some payback against Erakovic.

Unfortunately it wasn`t all good news in Holland as our recent hotties title winners were beaten today.

First of all Makiri was upset by Sorana Cirstea 5-7, 4-6. Tough loss there for Makiri.

I was afraid this would happen, with Makiri having to go from clay to grass with very little prepartion.

Also Kat was beaten handlely by Tamarine Tanasugarn 3-6, 3-6. Disappointing performance there by Kat.

So in all it was mixed bag for a few of our favorite hotties today. Tomorrow in Eastbourne, Vera Z will take on Ekaterina Makarova, while Caroline will face Svetlana Kuznetsova. Obviously this will be a very tough match for the very cute Caroline. I hope that she`ll give it her best tomorrow. Meanwhile in Holland, Ashley will take on Tamarine Tanasugarn. I really hope that she can keep up her good play tomorrow.

Lastly in other news, Tati will miss Wimbledon. I have to say that it`s not a surprise at all. I`m beginning to wonder how long Tati is going to be out. I really hope that she`ll be back by the North American hard court season. I miss seeing her out on the court in all of her sexy glory.

Anyway here are some pics from today`s matches.

This pic obviously illustrates how the match went for Nikki.

On a much more positive note, i love the nice pokies in this pic.

We really need to see Nikki in a bikini soon.

Caroline looking pretty perky there, if you know what i mean.

The Daywalker · 06-17-2008, 09:20 PM

Sarah posted as Sunshine Baby.

Wow, i can't believe so many hotties lost today and that Nikki and Makiri got crushed. I mean, you can understand a bit with Makiri with such a quick turnaround after winning the last tournament then going to a completely different surface. Still disappointing.

**Hot Rod** · 06-18-2008, 04:09 PM

I don`t remember seeing that name around here.

Here`s the latest from the grass courts of Eastbourne and Holland.

First of all in Eastbourne, Caroline pulled off on the biggest upsets of the year today with a 6-2, 6-2 rout over Svetlana Kuznetsova. What a great win for the very cute Caroline.

I have to be honest and say that i didn`t expect her to win, especially in such a lopsided manner.

This is one of those wins that will obviously give Caroline a huge confidence booster.

There was another upset in Eastbourne today, but unfortunately Vera Z was on the wrong side it of, losing to Ekaterina Makarova 3-6, 3-6. What a disappointing showing from the usual consistant Vera.

You hardly ever see her get beat like this. Obviously she needs some practice time on the grass before Wimbledon.

Meanwhile in Holland, Ashley was beaten by Tamarine Tanasugarn 6-4, 4-6, 5-7. What a tough loss for Pebbles.

She was up 5-3 in the third set and had a chance to serve for the match up 5-4, but unfortunately she got broken and wind up losing the last two games of the match. I really felt that this was a match that Ashley could win and for her to lose it like this is very tough to take.

So Caroline`s first win over a top 5 player is the only positive note on what has been a bleak day with two more of our favorite hotties losing. Tomorrow the action continues as Caroline will take on Samatha Stosur in Eastbourne. Hopefully she can follow up today`s great win with a good performance today. Also in Holland, we`ll get another all hotties matchup tomorrow between our last two hopes over there, Anna and Alona. Obviously this will be a very intriguing and hot matchup between two of our more feistier hotties. Hopefully Anna and Alona won`t have a complete meltdown during the match, which they`ve known to have from occasionally.

Lastly here is the seedings for the ladies at Wimbledon:

1. Miss Ana IVANOVIC (SRB)
2. Miss Jelena JANKOVIC (SRB)
3. Miss Maria SHARAPOVA (RUS)
4. Miss Svetlana KUZNETSOVA (RUS)
5. Miss Elena DEMENTIEVA (RUS)
6. Miss Serena WILLIAMS (USA)
7. Miss Venus WILLIAMS (USA)
8. Miss Anna CHAKVETADZE (RUS)
9. Miss Dinara SAFINA (RUS)
10. Miss Daniela HANTUCHOVA (SVK)
11. Miss Marion BARTOLI (FRA)
12. Miss Patty SCHNYDER (SUI)
13. Miss Vera ZVONAREVA (RUS)
14. Miss Agnieszka RADWANSKA (POL)
15. Miss Agnes SZAVAY (HUN)
16. Miss Victoria AZARENKA (BLR)
17. Miss Alize CORNET (FRA)
18. Miss Nicole VAIDISOVA (CZE)
19. Miss Maria KIRILENKO (RUS)
20. Miss Francesca SCHIAVONE (ITA)
21. Miss Nadia PETROVA (RUS)
22. Miss Flavia PENNETTA (ITA)
23. Miss Katarina SREBOTNIK (SLO)
24. Miss Shahar PEER (ISR)
25. Miss Lindsay DAVENPORT (USA)
26. Miss Sybille BAMMER (AUT)
27. Miss Virginie RAZZANO (FRA)
28. Miss Alona BONDARENKO (UKR)
29. Miss Amelie MAURESMO (FRA)
30. Miss Dominika CIBULKOVA (SVK)
31. Miss Caroline WOZNIACKI (DEN)
32. Miss Sania MIRZA (IND)

Anyway here are some pics from today`s matches along with some new pics of Masha and some pics of a few of the hotties from the WTA`s newest ad campaign.

While i think that the ladies look good in the pics, i think the campaign is very bland IMO. I like to see the WTA get more creative with their next ad campaigns like have themes where the ladies dress as characters from classic movies and/or TV shows. For example Masha, Ana and Dani can be Charlie`s Angels, Jelena can be a Bond girl, Nikki can be the Bride from the Kill Bill movies, Anna can be Penny Lane and Caroline can be Rollergirl.

**Hot Rod** · 06-19-2008, 03:17 PM

Here is the latest from Eastbourne and Holland.

First of all in Eastbourne, Caroline was defeated by Samatha Stosur 6-7(3), 4-6. Tough loss there for Caroline.

I had a bad feeling that this would happen. She missed out some good opportunities in the match like not converting on three break chances in the second set. Obviously Caroline needs to learn how to properly follow up a great win.

Meanwhile in Holland, we got another all hotties match today between Anna and Alona. The match went the full three sets with Alona coming out with a 6-2, 3-6, 6-2 victory. Good win there for Alona.

She did a good job of elevating her play when she needed to in the third set. As for Anna, another tough loss for her.

Her serve pretty much deserted her in the third set, which obviously spelled her doom.

So it was a mixed bag again today. Now Alona is our final hope. She will be playing Tamarine Tanasugarn tomorrow. Alona will need to come out strong right away in tomorrow`s match against Tanasugarn, who has been on a roll this week.

Anyway here are some pics of Maria at the Pre-Wimbledon party along with a pic from Caroline`s match and some pics of Makiri and Flavia in Holland.

Maria looks extra hot in these pic with the nice smile and her hot legs on display.

I love Makiri`s new outfit. It`s a nice look for her, especially with the shorts.

Looks like a little trouble in paradise. Flavia`s obviously pissed about something, while Makiri is playing it cool with a stoic look. I think that they`re debating on which movie they should go see with us.

However that is quickly forgotten about.

**Hot Rod** · 06-20-2008, 09:02 AM

Earlier today our hopes for a hotties title win this week was squashed as Alona was beaten by Tamarine Tanasugarn 2-6, 4-6. Disappointing performance from Alona.

Obviously she needed to come out strong right away as i said yesterday, but instead she couldn`t do so, which put her in an early hole. So there`s goes our hopes for a repeat hotties title win in Holland. However i consider this only a temporary setback.

With that tournament out of the way, it`s time to move on to much bigger and better things, which is Wimbledon. Earlier today the draw was released for the ladies` side at the All England Club and here it is:

(1)Ivanovic vs. De los Rios
Dechy vs. Yuan

(22)Pennetta vs. Vakulenko

Errani vs. (10)Hantuchova

(13)Zvonareva vs. Nakamura
Tanasugarn vs. Cetkovska
Krajicek vs. Erakovic
Gorges vs. (23)Srebotnik

(31)Wozniacki vs. Hrdinova
Wozniak vs. Koryttseva
Voskoboeva vs. Suarez Navarro
Savchuk vs. (2)Jankovic

Let me just say that it`s nice to see a lot of our favorite hotties spread out in the draw from top to bottom.

Masha`s portion of the draw looks pretty favorable early on, although i think she could have a potentially tough match against Sybille Bammer should they meet up in the third round.

Ana`s portion looks tougher, with a potential third round matchup against Domi, who has shown that she can play with the top ranked players as evident by her matches against Masha recently. If Ana can get past that match, then she`ll likely play Agnes Szavay next. I think that could be a very tough match for Ana, especially given that Szavay is one of those tricky players that can pull off an upset occasionally. Still i like Ana`s chances of getting through. If she can continue her good play, then she`ll be fine.

Moving on down the draw, i see that Nikki has Zuzana Ondraskova in the first round. Normally this would be a very favorable matchup, but with the way she has been playing lately, it could be a tough match. At this point i hope that Nikki can at least get a win. It`s not too much to ask from her.

I see that Anna and Elena are in the section below. Anna will play Stephanie Dubois, while Elena will take on Nuria Llogestera Vives. Obviously those are pretty favorable first round matches for them both. Anna`s portion looks more favorable early on, while Elena`s is more challenging with a potential second round match against Virginie Razzano. I think that this is a good opportunity for Elena to pull off an upset, which i hope she can do. I would love to see Anna and Elena meet up in the third round.

Also i see in the section below that the Bondarenko sisters are there together. Alona has the more favorable part, starting with her first round match against hometown favorite Melanie South. Kat also has a favorable first round match, but it will get much tougher should she advance to the second round mostly likely against Svetlana Kuznetsova. I hope that Kat will give her a tough match, which would obviously help out Alona.

In the next section. Alize`s part looks favorable, while Iveta will take on the always cute but dangerous Aggie in the first round. Obviously this will be a very tough match for Iveta. I think that we`re likely going to see a rematch between Aggie and Alize in the third round.

Moving on to the next section. Makiri`s part there looks favorable, starting with a first round matchup against compatriot Vera Dushevina. Also Sabrine will take on Marion Bartoli in the first round. I think that Sabrine will need to come out strong right away if she wants to have a chance against Marion, who has been playing better lately. I think that Makiri has a good chance of doing well in this section. I know that she hasn`t done well on grass, but if she can return to the good form she has shown at times this year, i think that she has a good chance of advancing and in the process upsetting Marion.

In the next section, Ashley has a very intriguing first round matchup against Amelie Mauresmo. This is a great opportunity here for Ashley, especially with Amelie struggling with injury troubles again. If she can pull off an upset, then i can see her advancing to the third round where she`ll likely face Serena Williams. Why is it that Ashley always have to get one of the Williams sisters in her portion of the draw in a Grand Slam lately?

Moving on down the draw, Dani will make her long awaited return to the court against Sara Errani. I`m so glad that Dani is back.

It`ll be interesting to see how she`ll do after the long layoff. Hopefully she can knock off the rust and get a nice little run going and maybe even meet up with Flavia in the third round.

Lastly in the very bottom section, Jelena and Caroline both have favorable parts there and likely could meet up in the third round.

So that`s the story with the ladies` draw at Wimbledon. I think that Masha and Ana are among the favorites. Of course we can`t forget about the always dangerous Williams sisters. I think that they will be more motivated after their early exits at Roland Garros, which will be bad news for everyone. Thankfully Masha and Ana won`t meet up with them until the semifinals. I really hope that our favorite hotties will do well at the All England Club. It`s time to end the title drought at Wimbledon for our hotties and obviously Masha and Ana are the ones to do it. Hopefully one of them can do it and perhaps maybe even meet up in the finals for Dream Match II.

Anyway here are some more pics from the Pre Wimbledon party.

Ana looks drop dead gorgeous again.

She has really brought her A game to the parties lately.

It`s great to see Dani again.

She looks very lovely as usual.

However she`s dressed more conservative than usual. Usually she would be wearing something a little hotter.

**Hot Rod** · 06-21-2008, 12:40 PM

Here is the Wimbledon ladies` double draw:

(1) Black/Huber vs Grandin/Pironkova
Razzano/Vakulenko vs Dushevina/Dzehalevich

(8) Peng/Sun vs Castano/Kanepi
Jans/Jugic-Salkic vs Gullickson/Uhlirova
Nakamura/Rezai vs (WC) O'Brien/Elliott
Llagostera Vives/M. Sanchez vs (12) Kuznetsova/Mauresmo

(14) Molik/Santangelo vs Perebiynis/Rosolska
(WC) Fitzpatrick/Hawkins vs Dechy/Dellacqua
Bacsinszky/Cornet vs (Q) Kops-Jones/Spears
(Q) Cravero/Jozami vs (2) Srebotnik/Sugiyama

It`s nice to see a few of our favorite hotties playing doubles. In fact we have a few good teams led of course by the Bondarenko sisters. Alona and Kat`s part of the draw looks favorable early on, but it could get very tough in the third round. Also in that section is Elena and Vera Z. Like i`ve said a while back, i think that they have plenty of potential as a team and now is the time for them to show it. Hopefully they can get a win and maybe even pull off an upset should they meet up with the team of Yan and Zheng. Plus it would be nice to see them and the Bondarenko sisters meet up in the third round.

Another team we should keep an eye is Makiri and Flavia. I`m glad that they decided to team up again. Obviously neither of them aren`t exactly the best grass court players, but i think that they`re capable of going on a nice run if they can elevate their level of play.

I think that it`s going to be tough for some of our hotties, especially with some very good teams like Cara Black and Liezel Huber, Ai Sugiyama and Katerina Srebotnik and the always dangerous Williams sisters as the favorites Still i think that there`s a chance for a hotties title win, mainly with the Bondarenko sisters. They have played in the previous Grand Slams this year, winning the Australian Open and reaching the semifinals of the French Open. I really feel that Alona and Kat are on the verge of reaching the elite level of the top teams. Hopefully they can fulfill it by going on a nice run at the All England Club. I really hope that our favorite hotties will do well in doubles.

Anyway here are some pics of Masha and Jelena practicing earlier today at the All England Club along with a pic of Ana at her press conference.

Finally we get to see a nice view of Masha`s belly on the court.

Glad that you like my avatar wingster, which you can borrow, especially since i`m going with a new one of Ana that i`ve just found.

Anyway here are some more pics of Ana at the Pre-Wimbledon party along with a new pic of Anna and Elena.

Anna and Elena look very lovely in this pic as does the other chick with them.

I need to find out who she is, because she`s quite a hottie.
