Tennis Babes
When I think of all the Tennis matches that I've ever watched in my life, I come to a startling conclusion; most of them were of women singles. Probably doubles as well, maybe few threesomes....(WTF?... sorry guys, got carried away there a little....) Anyway, the point is that I don't ever recall watching a full men/singles match. I don't know why, but now that I think about it, the reasons become quite clear.
You see, I'm not alone in appreciating the figures and looks of the Tennis babes. What's not to like? fit bodies, mini-skirts, physical exertion, total immersion in the game (don't you love how the pretty ones from lower seeds think they're taken seriously by the crowd, eh?!). The instant expressions of hope and disappointment. The constant fiddling with the racket strings. And the orgasmic 'Eh' (or 'Ah' or 'Oh', depends on what tickles your fancy) groan every time a difficult shot is served. Clothes clinging to perspiring bodies and breasts struggling to burst out of the double-sport bra. You tell me, what's not to like?
So it doesn't come as a surprise that the organizers of Wimbledon have put the babes from lower seeds in the Centre Court while moving the allegedly less attractive ones, despite their higher seeds, to the side courts.
Typical reactions to this strategy could be summed up in two categories:
1- So what? Serena Williams is also hot! other girls have got nothing on her!
In this case, as long as 'hot' is still your metric, you can't really denounce the organizers for what they've done.
2- This is sexism and objectification of women bodies! Tennis should be about the game and not the looks!
I profoundly appreciate this point. And totally agree with the necessity of neutralizing looks when it comes to sports. But is that really possible? Do you really think that whoever sponsored Anna Kournikova or Martina Hingis had not taken their looks into account? what about advertisement? media attention? fans support?
Of course, I'm not suggesting that the game is totally dependant on the looks. But you'd be fooling yourself if you think that anything less than half the men who watch women tennis matches aren't there to ogle at the pretty young ladies. Competition here takes a totally different tone.

And where did ya come up with that stat Mr DJ? I've got a lot more to say.
Hail Steffi!
Jazz, you realise you just turned on our friend Rosh!!!!
i can't wait to read your next blog post about tennis "grunts" by female players. It's a legit topic.
Dude, plz, I haven't relieved myself for over a week now, this is NOT a topic to expose to me ok.
*sniffle*
Bwahahaha! I was cracking up when you said, and I quote, "And the orgasmic 'Eh' and oh"...
This is really funny! I've always laughed at the way they groan when they play tennis. But those babes do the job, and they do it well!
Don’t you also wonder why the camera zooms in at their thighs, butts, and body curves all the time? I think it’s pathetically obvious: to make men ogle at them.
Well, I guess it would certainly be bad for "business" if they neutralize looks, and you’re right; they do take looks into account.
Female tennis players have countless photo shoots to consolidate their lead as well!
However, I think it’s inappropriate to do this. Even from a secular perspective, I think it’s totally unprofessional. They should neutralize looks because this is sports, not a beauty pageant.
I've liked your blog DJ. You have a remarkable style of writing that uses rich langauge. I've added your blog to my blogroll.
Keep up the good work!
Rosh, I didn't get that from anywhere. It was just a wild extrapolation, using my self as a reference.
Bu Jassem,
It's a legit topic but I thought I've already touched down on it here, except that I used the term 'groans' instead of 'grunts', since it has a more pornographic value. LOL
Hello KJ,
I'm assuming you've relieved yourself by now. You're kindly advised to keep a shorter intervals, lest your synapses get rotten.
XTR,
Thanks man. I realize that there are many great blogs out there, including those of my comrades who’d commented above ^^^^. And I realize that if my blog is to be read, it has to be a little interesting. Your kind comment tells me I might be succeeding in doing that to an extent.
Again, thank you very much for adding my blog to your blogroll and I will try to add yours once I figure the antiquated code of my blog’s layout!

Hi DJ
The lady version. Honestly, I hope you meet this one girl online so you'd both just get married & halal stuffs. The girl's not the link - she seems muslim & so do you? I hope I get it right.
Have a halal day. Remember God.
Hello Anonymous, I'm having a halal day full of pity and remorse for things I've done and didn't do. But you don't fear, a copy of your comments was forwarded to the person in question and we're both working on 'outing' you. You seem like a God fearing person and I'd certainly like to meet you. Have a kosher day.
Thank Allah not all men have such animal mentality.
Well, you are kind of a creative person, but why don't you show people your creativity in some things other than the orgasmic stuff? ....I mean .. I've read (most) of your posts, and I hardly found some posts that don't contain some vulgar words or not related to sex or women one way or another. Come on! It's easy to make a clear point and your ideas come cross without relying on the "Oh! Ehh! Ah!!!" kind of illustrations; I mean, it's good to have a sense of decency a bit more when making a point. Plus, the whole idea of this post was awfully consumed, an old one ya3ni.
No offence...T'was just a thought!
Peace!
Rose.. I agree with you 100%!!!!
Mr Rosh, how ru doing?
Ok.. less orgasmic stuff pls :)
