man breaks the code of silence: the girls of tennis keep growing and growing and growing
Yes, they are still out there serving and swinging on the WTA tour, contrary to the media's inattention. I mean what's wrong? This was the darling of all women sports until . . .. Until man lost control: darling Jelena Dokic is world's number 661 (darling, yes, the code of silence is broken) while, of all people, Amelie Mauresmo (we don't like her) is number one. Serena Williams (gasp) is number 105 while Martina Hingis is back and winning games (who invited the goddess back). Lindsey Davenport, at number 6, is the lone American in the top ten, except for that half she disowns of herself of (that, ug, "missy") Mary Pierce. Nadia Petrova (RUS), Elena Dementieva (RUS) and Svetlana Kuznetsova (RUS) are all in the top ten (they can't sell anything except to a schizophreniac, and, worse, they act like they don't want to). Man's mind cannot handle these women adjusting to their realities with just plain common sense: the tour is a bigger enemy than any dozen of the individual players; you win some, you lose some, but you play.
Right now you cannot predict the outcome of a single match. There's no one big enough to whip the girls back in line. In fact, they're beginning to accept vulnerability as more than just feminine but all of human. And they are hitting life back.
Now girls, ya’ll gon’ go and upset mo’ folks with that . . . maturing stuff!
